Yellow Fever Infection.

1.-The infection OF yellow fever is car
ried by mosquitoes. and by no other
means is the infection spread.
Persons take the disease by being bit
ten by mosquitoes that have previously
bitten a yellow fever patient.
'The mosquitoes to become infected
must bite a yellow fever patient during
the first three days of his attack. These
first three days. therefore. are the most
important time for preventing the access
of mosquitoes to a fever patient.
1T is often difficult to decide during
the first three days whether a patient
has yellow fever; hence the necessity in

patient who has fever OF any kind, and

however he found that a table there had

London. March 2l.-The announcement
of President Woodrow Wilson that his

the Chinese loan came as a complete
surprise to the British government. Only
Tuesday, Sir Edward Grey, the British
foreign secretary, in written reply to
a question in the House of Commons
said the terms of the loan had the unani-

when the news came of the decision of
the American government. There mas
