The Vaccination Order.

WASHINGTON, August 29.-Anti-
typhoid incubation, heretofore volun-
tary in the army, except in the cases
of recruits, has now been made com
pulsory. By authority of Secretary
Stimson, Major General Wood, chief
of staff, has issued a general order re-
quiring every officer and enlist d man
under forty-five years of age, who has
not had typhoid fever or who has not
already been vaccinated, to undergo
that operation.
This action was taken on the rec
ommendation of Surgeon General Tor
ney and other officers of the Medical
Corps with a view to immunizing the
army against what is regarded as one
of the greatest scourges of modern
times. They are convinced of the el-
ficacy Of the typhoid prophylactic'
in guarding against the introduction
and spread of the fever. The serum
is prepared at he Army Medical
School on Thirteenth street, under the
personal supervision of Major f. f.
Russell of the army, a typhoid fever
expert and a leader in the inOcula.
ton movement. From here the serum
is distributed to all the military posts
in the country.
1T is the hope of the officers in the
army" said Surgeon General Torney,
that by the use of this vaccine we
may make all troops immune from ty-

In their successful war on all these

look: Cholera at New York."
Scarcely more than a decade ago
these words, flashed over the wires
from Atlantic to Pacific, would have
sent a thrill of panic through the
country. There could be no more i'm
pressive tribute to the recent swift
advance of medical science and the in
creased efficiency of quarantine and
health departments than the well-jus-
tilted calm with which press and pub
lie alike took the announcement that
cholera had once more crossed from
the Old World to the New. This was
the more noteworthy because many
persons still living remembered the
great epidemics that swept the coun-
try in the middle of the last century,
leaving the dead in thousands behind.
Men still young had wildly in mind
the cholera panic of 1892, when even
the foreign mail bags were disinfect-

AIMED with shotguns, attempted by
force to prevent the landing of pas
sengers from infected ships.

ISN'T SURE THAT CORRESPONDENT
IS REALLY HER soul MATE"

NEW YORK, August 29.-Harry
Kemp, the Kansas poet, named as CO.
respondent in the suit for divorce
which Upton Sinclair, author and So
|cialist worker, has brought against his
wife, Meta Fuller Sinclair, said today,
that he did not know whether he and
Mrs. Sinclair ever would be married.
The poet, who has spent many years
in travelling and verse making, said
he was content with the present situa-
ton, which, he said, would be straight
ened out in way that will bring
happiness to all concerned.
The present" said Mr.. Kemp, "is
an unusual situation, and if the per-
sons involved in it were of the usual
sort there probably would be attacks
and determinations and recriminations.
But we are not of that sort"
The poet said he wondered what
lthey thought of him in Kansas.
Sinclair Sues for Divorce.
Sinclair brought suit for absolute
divorce against his wife yesterday,
naming Kemp as correspondent. The
papers were served on Mrs. Sinclair
i'm the Hotel Imperial, following a
meeting at which her husband Kemp,
and herself were present. They dis
cussed their matrimonial tangle at
length, and Mrs. Sinclair agreed to ac-

to a greater or less extent neglect
their military duties. Other officers,
whose experience with post exchanges
goes back to the seventies, agree N
the opinion that the management Of
post exchanges should be in the hands
of civilians, and not in charge of
army officers, whose time is necessar-
lily engaged with military duties. This
may be done by placing the civilian
manager much in the position occu-
pied formerly by post traders The
business should be theirs under a
revocable license from the War De-
partment, under regulations which
apply to all exchanges, and the bust
ness conducted under rules laid down
by the post commander and council
of administration and a stated per
centage paid over to the troops.
"The excellent ration supplied by
the government, the facilities for
amusements furnished by the gymna-
SUM, recreation rooms, etc, have
permitted a rapid accumulation CT
company funds in many companies.
This should be limited, and l believe
that the expenditure of company
funds should be left entirely with the

more than counterbalance any eventu-
al German successes on land.
Bitterness Against England
For these reasons the British view
of the present critical situation is
somewhat rose colored. German resent
ment at the part which England right
ly or wrongly is supposed to be play
ing is growing apace and the persistent
enmity of Great Britain for Germany
is the keynote of nearly all the Berlin
newspapers articles
The Vossiches Zeitung, in a leading
article declaring there is no virtue in
cOncealing the fact that Germany is
now hOneycombed with bitter Anglo
phobia, asserts that England can not
wonder at this state of affairs in the
presence of such a visit as that Gen.
Sir John French and other English
officers are now paying to the French
fortresses on the German frontier.
Such a tour of inspection at the
present critical juncture, this journal
says, can hardly be looked upon either
as unintentional or innocent, especially
in view of the fact that General French
was once named as the future command
er-in-chief of the allied Anglo-French
armies, which are to operate against
Germany.
Austria Joins in Attack.
In Austria, also, the British are
looked upon as having instigated the
present crisis. The Reichpost declar

tiations had taken a grave turn owing

Britain.

LONDON, Sept. IAN ultimatum is
the term used in London to describe
the character of the written instruc.
tons which the French Ambassador
to Berlin, Jules Cambon, carried from

day to resume the negotiations on the

terday, ever since the Echo de Paris
published an article summarizing the
instructions for M. Cambon drawn up
by the French Cabinet, no hesitation
was shown here in so interpreting
them.
One paper, indeed, goes to the length
of speaking of them as 'the ultimate
concessions that France can offer Ger
many in exchange for definite guaran-
tees with regard to Morocco" There
is a confident expectation here that
Germany will swallow the pill just as

not find it to her liking.
Articles were published here yes
terday showing the immense superb
ority of the British Navy over the Ger
man at the present moment, and
among English military men the opin-
ion prevails that Germany would un-
willingly try issues with France just
now because of the superiority of the
French field artillery and the alleged
greater ability of the French generals.
In the event of a war, which is con-
sidered to be extremely unlikely, it
IS held that Frances defensive position
is so strong that German military
operations would be reckoned ineffec-
tive for at least such a period as would
ensure the destruction of the German

once mounted the roof Of the barracks

Two shots were fred at them, the
two men dropped, their bodies were
carried into the barracks and . strict
