into the body. the virus establishes itself
in communication with the cerebrO-spinai
liquid where it propagates for a time.
After a time the virus localzes in
the nervous tissue itself and becomes
accessible not only from this liquid,
but probably from the general blood
also. The serum introduced into the
subdural (under the outermost covering Of
the brain) space soon escapes into the
blood: and thus a double action is secured
On the one hand it reaches the nervous
tissue directly from the cerebro-spina.

An immune horse serum at first gave dis

ment by intramusCular injection has given
more promise. But none of the sera men

than touched the fringe of the problem of
a cure for the disease.
Such brilliant success has been recently
recorded in respect to the specific chemical
therapeutics Of infection that an effort has
been, and still is being, made to attack the
problem from this quarter. Here also
only a starting point has been secured and
the subject merely opened to further cN-
Fermentation. The point Of departure
which we have adopted is the drug hex

by chemical tests in the liquid in a short

animal. The escape Is now known TO occur
alone with the secrctions of the nose and
throat and the discharges from the utes-
tine
1t is known that in monkeys the virus
Is incapable of passing the barrier of the
unbroken or slightly abraded skin, of be-
ing taken up from the stomach or mites
tine unless the functions of these organs
are previously disturbed and arrested by
opium, and it is further known that it
raverSes with difficulty, or even not at all
the substance of the lungs. On the other
hand, it is established that the virus passes
with readiness and coustaucy from the in
tact or practically intact, mucous mem
brane of the nose to the central nervous
system.
To Illustrate this point I wish TO de-
scribe briefly an experiment. The spinal
cord of a paralyzed monkey always con
tains the virus we are considering. If

Authority on international
Law Takes Unique Stand
In Open Letter

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Hannis
Taylor, former minister to Spain and
a writer on International Law, pub.
hshed an open letter here today con-
tending that the Hay-Pauncefoote
treaty is voidable beacuse of the sit.

the Canal Zone to the United States
There is no room for hairsplitting
on that point" writes Taylor. with
in the Canal Zone the United States
is sovereign for all purposes of inter
national law. Under that law It is
we'll settled that the treaty becomes
voidable, not vol, whenever change
has taken placei the Fundamental
condi tion existing at the time 1t was
made"
The writer quotes HALL, an Eng
lish authority on law, In support of
that contention.
Taylor refers to Russia's repudia-
ton in 1870 of certain portions Of the
Treaty of Paris, relating to the Black
Sea, and contends it set a precedent
upon which the United States may act.

PARIS, July 24.-That the world

the struggle between Great Britain
and Germany for naval supremacy is
the prevalent opinion in France after
a careful study of the recent speech
by Winston Churchill in the House

there is an inclination to believe that

a lesson from England's procedure
and herself increase her navy.
The Matin, commenting on the sub
ject, says it is in a position to declare
that Italy and Austria, at the instiga'
ton of Germany, are about to build
additional super-dreadnoughts in re-
gard to which negotiations have been
permitted to transpire.

The usual convention procedure was
altered by tine provisional officers in

can formulate their reports, only one

A. B. WeIch Tells Of Annual
EDcampment Of National
Guard at Devils Lake

"The annual encampment OF the
North Dakota national guard at Devils
Lake was one of the best it has ever
been, said A. B. Welch, who was q
guest of the officers at camp. AT
least that is what the various officers
who attended reported. 1t was the
consensus of opinion that there was
better discipline and better order in
camp than in any previous year. The
men, especially the non-cOmmissdoned
officers were not SO proficient in drill
as they should have been, but many OF
the non-coms were promoted only a
few days before leaving for Devils
Lake.
"One of the principal features OF
criticism was the small attendance
The companies averaged about thirty
men. "a" company of Bismarck
with 35 enlisted men, 3 officers and 2
cooks was about the fourth or fifth
largest company in camp. The reason
given by many company commanders
for small attendance was that EN-.
ployers refused to allow members OF
the militia who were working for
them to attend camp. Company "B''
of Fargo showed up with only 16 men,
There were as many officers and non.
commissioned officers as there were
privates- something like a Mexican
army that is composed principally OF
generals. Fargo boasts that it is q
good city, yet Company B will un-
doubtedly be recommended to be mus
tered out. 1t is a poor advertisement
for Fargo that it cannot support even
one militia company when a town
like Grafton can send so men to camp.
However, what was lacking In
numbers was made up in enthusiasm.
The new stone quarteHmaster house
is a splendid building. One end has
been modelled into officers club rooms
with large open fire place. 1t ds
a splendid rest room for the officers
and gives them place where they
may assemble in the evening and dis.
cuss the days maneuvers.

turn to Perre. He has a son who s

Mr.. Overshaw for three years was
employed by S. A. Gutherie driving the
United States mail stage from Bis
marck to Fort Yates. That was from
1889 to 1893. At that time the stage
line was the only means of transpor-
tation to Fort Yates from the state
capital, but now a railroad reaches
within ten miles of Yates. Mr.. Over
shaw is manager of the Pierre opera
house and lis also dealer in lands.
Mr.. Martin used to run astore in
Bismarck in the early days. He has
retired from business life now and is
not engaged any active enterprise.
The parity will spend about two
months visiting in various points In

who are still residing in the capital
city had the pleasure OF visiting with
Messrs. Jennng, Overhaw and Martin
