TYPHOID VACCINE
PROVES ITS WORTH
Only Two Gases Of the Dread Disease
in the Army of 10000 Men
in 1913.

WASHINGTON, Dec, 31.-The army
got through the year 1913 with only
two cases of typhoid fever in the en-
listed strength of more than $4,000
officers and men. One was that of a
man who had not been immunized with
the typhoid vaccine and was believed
to have contracted the fever before he
enlisted; the other case was among the
troops in China, and though the men
were immunized in 1911, the history OF
the case is in doubt.
The navy, which adopted the vaccine
later than the army and did not make
its use at once compulsory, had among
its $4,000 jackies only seven authentic
cases Of typhoid in the year ended
last June. Four Of these were treated
at remote tropical station, where
the vaccine had deteriorated
Such is the wonderful record of the
prophylatic treatment which has wiped
out one scourge among the nations de-
Tenders and which many medical of
fcers believe has had something to do
with decreasing the rate of tubercu.

WALL STREET WILL
REMEMBER 1918
Great Falling OF in Trans.
actions and Many Firms Go
Out of Business.

NEW YORK. Dec. 31-The year
1913 will be long remembered in Wall
street as one Of the dullest in almost
decade. Compared with 1912, when
stock and bond sales on the stock ex-
change aggregated 130,735,700, shares
and $672,0000o0 respectively, this year
showed decrease in stock sales of A >
100000 shares and in bonds Of S170,~
100000. The recent squirt of activity
at higher price level, together with
an increased demand for bonds and
other investment issues has, however,
given rise to hope among bankers and
brokers that a recovery is under way
OF the 100 members Of the stock ex.
change, it is estimated that less than
half are now actively engaged in the
market, and probably one-fifth of the
brokers who buy or sell almost exclu-
sively for their own account.

TRY TO KEEP LIQUOR
AWAY FROM POOR 10
Government Officials Begin
Conference at Denver to
Perfect Organization.
CATO SELLS PRESENT
Commissioner of Indian Blu.
reau Makes Statement
Concerning His Work.

DENVER, Dec. 31.-The more per
feet organization of the government
service for tho suppression of the liquor
traffic among the Indians, is the OBJ
ject of the conference here today of
special officers charged with the con-
duct Of the work. The conference was
attended by Cato Sells, commissioner of
the United States Indian bureau, who
in formal statement outlined the or
ganization, work and objects Of this
government service.
The statement Of Mr.. Sells follows in
part:
''The service for the suppression of
the liquor traffic among the Indians is
composed of one chief special officer,
one assistant chief special officer and
fifteen assistant special officers, whose
work is supplemented by l51 deputies,
consisting of service employees, United
States deputy marshals and other in
dividuals assigned to particular cases or
localities.
Greatest Menace.
'fThe liquor evil is recognized as one
OF the greatest confronting the Indian
To-Day, and not only because OF lts ue-
moralizing influences, but for the
further and very important reason that
1t makes him an easy prey to the un-
scrupulous. There are many instances
where, when under the Influence of
liquor, the Indian has been induced to
convey his property without considera-
ton. My coming to Denver for this
conference is that we may more per
fectly organize and systematic this
work, for it is my firm purpose, with
the use of good judgment, to aggres-
sively undertake to carry out III good
faith our treaty relationships in this
respect, and so effectively use the
funds appropriated by congress as to
insure the best results obtainable. 1t
is my desire to cooperate with the
. and local authorities. ] am sure
iu.,g the evil results of the liquor traf
nc among the Indians is matter of
grave concern to the white citizens Of
the country, both for the reason that
they are properly interested in the up
lift Of the redmen, and for the further
reason that the impoverishment of the
Indian means that he will ultimately
become charge upon the taxpayers of
the several states"

Wilson's Foreign Policy.

The most important pronouncements
of the administration s foreign policy
were made by President Wilson when
he withdrew the support Of the United
States from the bankers In the So
called six-power Chinese loan; in his
Latin American statement, in which he
proclaimed tho intention Of the United
hemisphere only those governments
'founded on law and order'; in his
now noted Mobile speech in which he
pointed out the menace of foreign con.
cesslons to the peace and security of
Central and South America.
Relations with Mexico-the Ameri-
can government IS refusal to recognize
Huerta and q spirited exchange of
notes on the subject-were the diplo-
matte events of the year. Great Brit.
ain Is protest against the exemption of
Panama canal and Japan's protest
against the anti-alien land legislation
in California were the two other prin-
cipal features. They still are In the
course Of diplomatic discussion.
Trade Extension.
Plans for the extension Of American
trade abroad by the creation of com
mercial agents of the department of
commerce were launched; important
steps in the government participa
tions in relations between capital and
labor were the creation of a new port
folio in the cabinet for p secretary of
labor, to which William B, Wilson of
Pennsylvania. prominent labor lead
er, was appointed; and the creation by
congress of federal commission on in
dustrial relations which has begun
stu6I- pf ihp eotJre Sub1ect
Commanding features in the internal
affairs of the nation were the an
nouncement of a liberal policy for the
development Of Alaska, with tho pro
posed building of a government rail
road; a policy of conservation for the
immense properties of the Indian
tribes and proposed federal control of
all deposits of radium which lately be-
came so valuable in medicine.
Agriculturally, the year was one Of
unprecedented prosperity, While the
volume OF crops was below the average,
their value totaled nearly $lo,o0o,o00,-
000
