washington, October Z: The prev
alence of typhoid fever in practically
every section of the United States has
inspired the public health and marine
hospital service to express publicly its
belief in the artificial immunity, with
certain limitations, afforded by anti
typhoid vaccination, already compul-
sorry in the American army Tor SOL
diers under As years Of age. In re-
port lust issued, the public health
service reproduces the summary OF
the findings of a commission OF the
Academy of Medicine Of Paris which
investigated the subject. "Anti-typhoid
vaccination" the French commission
declares, uOeS not NiS
complete disappearance Of this infec-
tious disease in the communities
where 1t is practiced, but it diminishes
very notably its frequence. More
over, such of the vaccinated who con-
tract typhoid fever Notwithstanding
have much milder attacks than nom
Vaccinated subjects. The percentage
of deaths supervening among the for
mer is one-half that of the non-vac-
cinated typhoid patients. In the
judgment of the commission, the vac
cination should be practiced only upon
healthy subjects. free from all organic
or other defects and from local or
general affections, no matter what
their nature, especially tuberculosis.
London, October 8: Most Of the
Constantinople correspondents agree
that Turkey is renewing her efforts
to secure peace, but they differ as to
the procedure followed-whether by
arbitration through a European con-
ference or by other means. Accord
ing to reports from Rome, Italy,
which at one time was ready to pay
Turkey a large compensation, now
will pay nothing, although she would
not impose a war indemnity II peace
were concluded forthwith. II hostil-
tiles are prolonged. however. the re-
ports say Italy will insist upon heavy
indemnity. Italian reports tell OF
the sinking Of two Turkish tor
pedo boats with a loss of 800 Turks,
at San Giovanni de Medua. The
Turkish versions minimize the affair.
The Chronicles Constantinople cor
respondent says there is great ac-
tivity on the part of the Italian war
ship through the archipelago and in
the Ionian and Red seas. 1t is be-
lieved the intention is to blockade the
Dardanelles. Reports are current
Said Pasha will resign and Kiemiel
Pasha will become grand vizier. There
are indications throughout the Turk
ish dominions of an energetic spirit
in favor of a holy war, but in Con-
stantinople the people pray constant
ly for peace. According to the cor
respondent, the American ambassa-
dor, w. w. Rockhill, has been in
structed from Washington to use his
influence for peace. The ambassador
will have an interview tomorrow with
Said Pasha- Russia is joining with
the United States in this action. Tur-
key sent another note to the powers
asking Intervention, and Offering to
grant every reasonable concession to
Italy.
Lacrosse, Wis, October 6: The sit
uation at Black River Falls, the pros
porous little city of 1000 inhabitants
which was swept by flood this after
noon when the waters of the Black riv-
er, swollen by recent rains, washed
through the embankment of the La
crosse Water Power company's dam at
Hatfield, is tonight worse by far than
was even feared when the flood swept
upon the city. Half of the business
section has been destroyed, together
with a part Of the residence district,
and it is alleged by the townspeople
who have taken refuge on high lands
that the city will be wiped out.
Whether or not lives have been lost is
not yet certain. The people have been
scattered, and tonight canvasses are
being made to determine how many,
If any, are missing Thus far two
persons have not been accounted for.
At Z o'clock tonight between twenty
five and thirty business houses, COM
prising all the stores on both sides of
two streets, had been destroyed, to-
gether with an equal number or
houses. At that hour the waters were
still rising rapidly and the destruc-
tion of the stores on the other two bus
mess streets was predicted before
morning The buildings have been not
merely flooded but destroyed. The
water, flowing in tremendous volume,
undermined one big building after an
other, and as each collapsed the de-
bris for the most part was carried
away. No precautions could be taken
to stop the wrecking of the town. The
people, although they knew of the
overfiowing of the dam, showed little
fear Of it's effects until the water burst
upon them. The city is tonight in
darkness, the electric light plant be-
ing one of the first to be struck by the
flood.
