WANT CORCAS 10 FIGHT 1YPHUSScOURGE NSERB|A Rockefeller Foundation Off, fers Position to U. $. 
 Army Surgeon.

Washington, : April 12.-Surgeon Gen. Gorgas of the army today had under consideration an offer from the Rockefeller Foundation to become a permanent member of it's staff as gen eral advisor in matters relating to public sanitation and control of epi-
 demics. He is particularly wanted to take charge of the medical relief eX-
 petition sent by the American Red
 Cross to Serbia to stamp out the typhus scourge in support of which
 the foundation is cooperating.
 Gen. Gorgas is expected to decide
 within a few days whether or not he will accept the offer. He probably will
 confer with Secretary Garrison and
 President Wilson about the matter. It
 is said that if he accepts it will be
 because of his belief that he owns it
 to humanity to give the benefit of the
 experience he gained by successful
 campaigns against epidemics in Pan-
 anna and Cuba.
 Tenders of the position was made by Jermoe D. Greene, secretary of the foundation, at a protracted conference with Gen. Gorgas last night. Decision to make him definite offer MT. Greene said was reached by the trustees of the foundation last week. General Gorgas is now entitled under the law to retire at any time and it would not be necessary for him to resign his commission in the army in order to accept the position unless he is sent to Serbia. As retired army officer he could not undertake work within the territory of a bell1- gerent..
 1 General Gorgas' most noted achieve ments were his work in cleaning up Havana, Cuba and in conquering dis
 ease in the Panama Canal zone which
 made possible the digging of the big
 ditch. This was followed by his se-
 lection for the post of surgeon gen. l; eral and later his promotion by spe- cial act of congress to the rank of | major general

NO WILLING ELIGIBLE
 MEN FOR RECRUITS
Army Recruiting Officer of Great Brit ain Believes Conscription Will be
 Necessary in United Kingdom.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
 London, March 29-'There are virtually no willing eligible men left to be recruited in those parts of the country which I have visited" writes an army recruiting officer to the Times Those who remain, he states, are either in the employ of the state; doing work which is essential for the defense of the state; under bind- ing obligation to parents, wives, chil- dren, employers or employees, or re- ligious principles, from which the state alone can release them earn ing such good money that they are deaf to all other considerations; or ignorant or skulkers.
 The officer believes that if any con siderable additional number of men is required, conscription will be neces- sary.
 Discussing the men who decline to enlist because they are earning too much money, the officer says: There are many small towns which for several months have been full to over flowing with troops billeted there. Tradesmen and householders have
 
 in their lives before. Artisans and laborers have been able to get em- ployment at greatly enhanced wages. La bor is nowhere to be had. In these towns it is the question of profit that largely keeps the eligible men from coming forward"
 Of the agricultural district the writer says: Farmers at first en- couraged their men to enlist to an extent which has seriously hampered their business. Now they can no longer spare a single man, because it is impossible to replace him. They express also considerable resentment over the unfair competition for their employees by the government and To- cal auth critics. Why should the gov ernment continue to hire young and active men as policemen, postmen, and for other minor offices? The farm CT bitterly resents having his helpers lured away by offers of double or triple wages for government contract work" ..#

AMERICAN STEAMER STRIKES
 ROCK IN JAPANESE WATERS
Minnesota Runs Aground of Iwajima-Passengers and
 Crew Safe.

Kobe, Japan, April 12.-The Amer ican steamer Minnesota, plying be- tween Japanese ports and Seattle, struck a rock at half past nine o'clock last night off Iwajima, near the southwestern entrance to the in- land sea.
 In wireless message Captain Gar lick has asked for salvage steamer He says all the passengers and crew are safe.
 The Minnesota sailed from Naga- saki Sunday morning. bound for Kobe, Yokohama and Seattle. She passed through the Straits of Shinonoseki safely and was in the inland sea when the accident occurred.
 Ii is believed the Minnesota can be fioated, but beyond the fact that one of her holds was pierced by the rock, the amount of damage is not known.
 Wireless tclegraphy was employed by the Minnesota in callings for ,help. A steamer. the name of which is not yet known. responded promptly. This probably is the vessel which took off the passengers and mail and con veyed them to Shimonoseki The number of passengers on board tho Minnesota is not known here definite ly. They had just finished dinner when the crash came.
 X salvage steamer, with a tender and divers, has been sent from Moi and will reach the scene of the wreck tomorrow morning. .#
 The Minnesota, on her outward trip left Seattle February for Yokohama where she arrived on February %. She was at Nagasaki March 3, Hong Kong March II, and she sailed from Manila on her return trip April i.
 The Minnesota has run aground in Japanese waters on two other occa- sions, but was refioated without ser ious damage.
 A Japanese newspaper has received a despatch from Manila saving that Mrs. Francis B. Harrison. wife of the governor-general of the Philippine Is- lands. with two children. was on board the Minnesota at the time of the accident. Mrs. Harrison was ac- companied by Captain Archibald F. Commiskey, military aid to Governor Harrison.
 From the details which came to hand later in the day by telegraph. it would appear that the Minnesota mistook her course during a storm. The impact ripped hole 12O feet long in the forward part of the steamer.
 According to a newspaper despatch published here there were 1s5 first class passengers. mostly Americans. on beard tho Minnesota. together with tweuty-two second and rorty-four third class passengers The crew of the steamer numbered 277 mon. Twenty-nine of trc first class passen- gers were bound for Japan.
 1t is believed that the steamer which took off tl,c passengers will bring them 10 Kobe.
 The Minnesota took fl Japanese rilot on board at Nagasaki.
