.FR|EDMANN'S CASES
cABLEGRAM DECLARES THAT
TREATED SUFFERERS ARE
RESPONDING TO SERUM.
A GOVERNMENT STATEMENT
investigation of Alleged Cure is Be-
ing Conducted-Efficiency Cannot
Be Determined for
Some Time.

New York, March 24.-Sufferers
from tuberculosis, whom DR.. Friede-
rich F. Friedman treated with his
vaccine before his departure from Ber-
lin to this country, are responding re-
markedly to the treatment, according
to a cablegram received by DR.. George
O'Hanlon, superintendent of Bellevue
hospital. The %cablegram came from
a Berlin physician, DR.. O'Hanlon said.
DR.. Friedman treated Is more
patients here but was obliged to post
pone the treatment of IA others until
today owing to the fact that his vac
cine was exhausted. He devoted most
of the day to the preparation of a
new supply.
Charles E. Finlay, the New York
banker, through whose efforts DR..
friedman was persuaded to come to
this country with his tuberculosis vac
cine, will give a banquet in DR.. Fried
mann's honor at Mr.. Finlay's country
home, Great Neck, Long Island. A
number of well known persons will at
tend.
Washington.-The public health
service, through Surgeon General
Blue, has just issued its first state
ment relative to the government in
vestigation of DR.. f. r. Friedmann's
alleged tuberculosis cure. The state
ment, which emphasized the govern
ment's policy to proceed cautiously,
is in part:
"On March 8 the secretary of the
treasury, on the recommendation Of
the surgeon general of the public
health service, caused a board of medi-
cal officers to be detailed to make a
thorough investigation of DR.. Fried
mann's alleged cur for tuberculosis.
These officers Immediately pro-
ceeded to New York and arranged
with DR.. Friedman for demonstra-
tons of his remedy upon persons suf-
fering from tuberculosis. These dem
~onstrations will be continued until
sufficient information has been OBJ
tanned for the forming Of an opinion
as to the merits of the treatment.
DIR. Friedman has submitted to
the board culture of the bacteria
which he states are used in his meth
cd of treatment. In addition to the
observation Of patients under treat
ment by DR.. Friedman, the board of
officers will make experiments to as
certain whether this culture is as good
as DR.. friedman claims.
Considerable time will necessarily
be required to carry out these inves-
legations but the work will be carried
out as rapidly as possible.
In the meantime the public is in
formed of the inadvisability, in the
great majority of cases, Of travelling
long distances in the hope of receiv-
ing treatment, as those selected for
demonstration purposes constitute only
a small proportion of applicants"

ULTMATUM IS PRESENTED
is SEML-OFFiCIALlY ANNOUNCED
AUSTRIA MAKES DEMANDS. (,
Montenegro Declares She Cannot Per.
NIT Latter to Exercise Her
Sovereign Right.

Cettinje, March 25.-It is semiofi-
cially announced that Austria pre-
scented an ultimatum to Montenegro
demanding a suspension of the mill
tary operations around Scutari until
the entire civil population had left
the town. In the event of refusal,
Austria will resort to arms against
Montenegro.
In a note which is couched in
threatening terms, Austria also de-
manded that all Catholics and Moham-
medans in Jakova and the surround
ing district, who have been converted
since the Montenegrin occupation,
must be restored to their former faith.
With a view to proving that the con-
versions in question were not attend
ed by any compulsion, Montenegro re-
piled that she proposed to appoint a
commission On which, besides the
Montenegro members, there should
also be one representative of Austria
and another of Italy, or some other
great power.
Montenegro at the same time stated
that she could not allow the sovereign
right of Austria to be exercised in ter
ritory occupied by Montenegro.
Austria refused to accept the an
swer to this note, on the ground that
its wording was not seemly. In gov
eminent circles here, the conviction
is expressed that Austria refused, not
on account of the form of reply, but
because of it's contents.
The official journal promises a com
munication in which it is stated that
the Catholics and Mohammedans of
Ipek an Jakova expressed the wish to
join the orthodox church, but were
disuaded by the Montenegrins, who
advised them to exercise patience.
The movement spread, however, as
the people were unable to understand
why they should not return to the old
faith, for which they had preserved
the usages. When they repeated the
demand their wish was granted.
The priest, Palic, the communica-
ton explained, vas arrested for incit-
ing the Albanians against Montene-
gro. He was being taken to Ipek for
trial when he attempted to escape and

The store was kept open until A

had been able to gain admittance.

cred their property. The rest found

stolen loot. Some of them. including
several women with babies in their
arms, came out weeping.

In addition to destroying about 300
homes in the south portion of Terre
Haute, Prairieton, a small town six
miles south, was destroyed and the in
tervening territory devastated. The
injured will number at least 800 and
many of these are in a serious condi-
ton. The hospitals are filled to their
capacity.
All wires were blown down in the

wrecking the already demoralized tel

SOURCE OF NAME is HIDDEN
Scholars Own Themselves at Loss
as to Whence Came the Term
"Mephlstopheles.

There has been much discussion con-
corning the origin of the word
Mephistopheles" in the past which
has, moreover. as yet ended in no
very satisfactory conclusion. Some
very bizarre explanations had been
propounded before the time Of Goethe,
who was himself forced to own to the
musician Zelter in a letter OF Novem-
Der 20,lS29: Il cannot give any de.
fnite answer to the question Whence
cones the name Mephistopheles?
According to one theory It was
hybrid Graeco-Hebraic formation Of
mepfiis and tophel tthe liar); accord
ing to another its etymology was en-
tirely Greek-very dubious Creek
mephostophilos, "he who does not love
The light" Though this derivation is
hardly acceptable. it appears that this
was the original form OF the name,
the second vowel being replaced by
4" at first in England, whence it
was taken into the popular German
mysteries.

Jahrbuch' Herr Oelhke gives an en-.
