California Votes to
Break with Stanford

BERKELEY. Cal, April A.-Students
Of the University OF California voted to-
day TO sever all varsity athletic relations
with Stanford university, their chief ath-
letic event, unless Stanford agrees to
bar freshmen from all varsity teams. BY
a vote of the student body Stanford has
taken a contradictory position. but sug
gests arbitration OF the question.
California, by far the larger OF the
two universities. Is intent on following
the precedent set by the larger eastern
colleges in barring freshmen from var
sity teams. while Stanford. with a
smaller student body. maintains that
such a course will ruin her chances OF
victory over her larger rival.

of bacteria in the blood of soldiers taken
i'll at the front.
Now a soldier. strangely enough, con-
siders it disgrace to be taken to a field
hospital unless he has the stump of a
leg or an arm to proudly show for his
valor in battle. Just to be taken sick"
humiliates him, when he sees his fellow
men in arms returning from the trenches
shattered and battered by shrapnel and
high explosives. But 1t is simply one of
the many anomilies OF war that more
perfectly healthy. capable men are
stricken with disease than in times of
peace. The reason is that they are
herded together in camps, barracks and
trenches and all the long lines of germs
have excellent opportunity to strike
them in the back, so to speak.
Zeppelins and bombs are newly dis
covered bacilli in the blood of cere-
bromeningitis victims. From their Pc
culiar shape they have been christened
"zeppelins'' and bombs" Whether in
peaceful times the natural advancement
of civil medical science would have dis
covered these insiduous enemies Of So
ciety, will never be known. They were
discovered during the stirring alarms of
war and what more natural than mill
tary terms be applied to them. And on
the microscopic slides, enlarged one
thousand times before the camera. they
certainly do bear a striking resemblance
to the real dirigibles and grensdes.
Not all the, newcomers in the world
of germs have been named, but they have
been classified sufficiently for means of
elimination. Two of the most stubborn
of the new class of bacteria are known

scientifically nomenclatured ally, wins
has, perhaps. been able to do more for
the surgeons cause than all the toxins
and antitoxins, septics and antiseptics
that the twentieth century era Of mar
wells has been able to produce.
Nothing more or less than phagocy-
tosis has arisen from a bleak and GRIM
son-tinted nowhere to cheer and urge on
ward the hard laboring man of medicine.
Phagocytosis, familiar friend to ths
surgeon in the peaceful hospitals of his
native hearth, was not awaited or ex-
pected in Europe. but he appeared, none
the less. Phagocytosis. with no imposing
B. before his name, was conspicuously alb
sent during the early weeks and months
of the war, but as the individual soldiers
became hardened to the war. as their
muscles and bodily strength were built
up through the dual agencies of hard
working trench physicians and the rigors
OF outdoor. open air living. the almost
forgotten and despaired of phygocytosis
did make his appearance and then half
the battle of the surgeon was fought be-
fore the victim came his way.
For phagocytosis is nothing more or
less than the ability of the white blood
corpuscles to gather up and absorb this
foreign and malignant matter that
courses through the blood. And with
the attainment Of perfect physical health
on the part of the soldiers the white cor
puscles waxed numerous and strong and
did more for the recovery OF the poor,
shattered victims OF high explosive ma
chine gun and grenade than all this
philters and cultures of the surgeons art.
So phagocytosis is battling B. Aerogenes
Capsulatus and B. Tetani and Streptococ-
ci and Staphylocci and wasing winning
fight Mans art and natures remedy
are proving too much for the malignant
foes of both. and the percentage OF
wounded leaving the base hospitals of
France is larger than reported in any
previous war. But should nature relax
in her efforts or man neglect his arts.
then the white blood corpuscles would
simply be swamped beneath the weight
OF the enemy and phagocytosis would be
as impotent as a paper shield before
forty-two centimeter shell.
The Washington herald., 1915-10-31

simply as Bacillus K and Bacillus Y. 1t
is known that they are present. in COM
bination with other bacilli, in cases OF
gangrene and generally when decompo-
sition is more than ordinarily virulent,
so that the general treatment OF gangrene
is applied when they are discovered.
Most of the other germs have been more
definitely catalogued and named. so that
more specific remedies are applied for
their eradication.
Northern France has afforded, for sew
,eral reasons, the richest field for the
study Of battle wounds. Naturally it is
the most accessible field for investiga-
tors, so that the most complete studies
have been made in the base hospitals far
behind the firing lines. Then the nature
Of the soil and the conditions of the
fighting have contributed to the greatest
variety of medical cases. Here bacteria
have been most abundant and in most
variety, despite the fact that the physi-
cal and hygienic conditions of the Ger
man, French and British soldiers aresfar
and away above those of any of the other
belfigerents.
But the SOIL OF northern France is very
fertile agriculturally and this means that
fertilizer in great quantities has been
applied to it. Nearly all germs originate
in the intestines Of animals and are dis
PEELED through their interment. The
soil becomes saturated with noxious
bacilli which remain perfectly harmless
to human beings until they are thrown
in contact with fresh wounds. as when a
shell explodes near the ground. throwing
dirt into open wounds, or hurting 1t with
pieces of metal into the flesh.
Trench fighting, too, has contributed
to the numerous varieties of new BAG
terra discovered in the hospitals. The
men are on duty many hours, in close
contact with the ground and usually in
unsanitary surroundings. Their cloth
ing becomes filthy. Bullets and frag-
ments of shells carry with them into the
bodies shreds Of germ-laden clothing.
AS an instance of the bacteria swarm
ing condition Of soldiers clothes, twelve
samples were cut from the garments of
men brought to a Boulogne hospital
The samples were cut far from the holes
made by the metal that caused the
wounds, so that the clothing could not
have been infected from the wounds. OF
these twelve samples, ten contained ba-
rectly responsible for gangrene; four
contained tetanus germs; five contained
streptococci, generally present In cases
of gangrene, and two contained the
rather rare staphylococci which assist
the more deadly aerogenes capsulatus
and promote gas gangrene.

OF the twelve samples. not one was
entirely free from germ organisms. Only
two were free from the four above men
toned vrulent bacilli. About half the
amples had two or even three of the
deadly kinds of bacteria. So it will be
seen with what problems the military
surgeon has to cope. 1t is probable that
in the years to come the general public
may be as familiar with the bacilr aero
genes capsulatus, the bacilli tetanus. the
streptococcus and the staphlyococcus as
it has become in recent years with the
germs that cause diphtheria, yellow fever
smallpox or typhoid. Certainly, the mil
itary hospital surgeons are rapidly be-
coming accustomed to varieties of bacilli
seldom or never met in civil practice
Broadly speaking, pathogenic. or dis
ease-carrying germs, are divided by
scientists into two classes, aerobic and
anaerobic The former live in the open
air, while the anaerobic organism is able
to exist without free oxygen. These lat
ter are the ones that almost invariably
originate and thrive in the intestines of
animals and even human beings Some
germs seem to have the properties OF
both.
Few clean wounds are encountered in
military hospitals. Almost all are in
fected with malignant bacteria. OF
course, there are many known bacilli
that are harmless, or at least their in
furious affects are not known. These
are found in nearly every wound.
Next to tetanus, gangrene is the prod
uct OF bacteria most dreaded by the
surgeon and most eagerly sought for
the purpose Of elimination. And gan
creme occurs in a great many more in
stances than the deadlier infection, tet-
anus. Indeed. one of the marvels of
the war has been the successful efforts
of science to reduce tetanus to the min
imum. Tetanus antitoxin, of course, has
played a conspicuous part in the victory
OF tetanus, for it has been literally in
jected whenever the presence of bacilli
tetani has been discovered or suspected.
BY far the most numerous germs en-
countered in the wounds brought from
the trenches are the bacilli aerogenes
capsulatus, the forerunners and direct
cause of gas gangrene. In scientific
terms these are large, nonmotile, amaze
robic bacilli, which form spores so that
they are very resistant to antiseptics. A
nonmotile germ is one that has not the
power of automatically moving around.
1t can live without the presence of free
oxygen, and throws of spores or seeds
that reproduce. II neglected, a gangrene
infested wound will become very serious,
necessitating amputation of a limb or
dangerous operations on the body. But
with proper care. B. Aerogenes Capsulatus
as he is known professionally, is easily
routed.
His arch friend, B. Tetanus, is harder
to get rid Of, but fortunately does not
thrive in such quantities. Nearly every
wound shows signs of gangrene at first
When tetanus and gangrene both -four
ish, the patient is likely to collapse sud
denly and die without any apparent
reason.
Closely allied to B. Aerogenes Capsu-
