The desire expressed by the Japan
csc ENJOYS that the peace negotiations
shall be conducted in the English Ian,
guage once more illustrates the spread
of this speech. For the past 300
years French has been the accepted
language of diplomacy among Euro,
pean nations, although of late Eng,
lish has been freely used. The recent
ascendency of English is due not so
much to its own vigor and elasticity as
TO the more practical reason that it is
becoming almost a universal language

President Orders Surgeon General Wy
man to Aid in Wiping Out
Yellow Fever.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The United
States government has assumed con-
troll of the yellow fever situation in the
city of New Orleans. The authorities
there Friday, through Gov: Blanchard,
appealed to President Roosevelt for
help, claiming they were unable to
handle the epidemic. President Roose-
welt at once forwarded to Surgeon Gen
eral Wyman, of the public health and
marine hospital service, the telegram
from Gov. Blanchard requesting that
the government take control, and di-
rected the surgeon general to take ev-
cry step in his power to meet the stu
alton and to notify him what further
action was advisable and possible for
the federal authorities to take.
Acting on their own volition or I'M
der instructions the Mississippi patrol
boats evidently thought the appearance
of the Louisiana naval militia was
purely for effect and not to stop their
further depredations in Louisiana wa
ters. They found out their mistake
when the flagship of the patrol squad
ron, the Grace, and another vessel, the
Tipsey. which had been stationed in
Lake Borgne canal, were seized, their
flags hauled down and the officers and
crews placed under arrest. The crew
of the Tipsey will be taken to st. Ber-
nard parish, while the crew of the
Grace will be brought to this city, both
to await the action of the grand jury
of the respective parishes in which
their offenses were committed.
Following is the record up to six D.
m. Friday: New cases, 43; total cases
to date, 475; deaths, 5; total deaths to
date, SO. New sub-foci, 10; total SUBJ
