regarded as applying to the city of
Washington.
1t has long been recognized that

are to be accounted for only from in

sound large to the average person. but
let US see what it means to the individ-

the subject, just issued. IN time OF
epidemic prevalence probably one in
every hundred persons he meets has
diphtheria germs in his throat and in all
proba bility on his hands and clothes as
well, since it is one of the most COM

hand to the mouth. 1t is probable That
the average individual comes in con-
tact with a hundred or more persons
every day and is hence practically daily
exposed to infection with diphtheria.
Some persons. mainly those remaining
at home, associate with but few. but
other members of the household are not
so isolated. School children come in
close contact often with more than
hundred others in a day. Occasionally
one may even see hundred persons on

A Cook and His Soup.

We met a cook upon a narrow path
leading to trench in one of the passes
of the Vosges. With his helper he was
carrying 4 steaming cauldron of soup
to the front line. Ordinarily one does
not stop to pass the time of day with
cooks in mountain passes. But we had
the artillery captain with US. He beamed
upon us as he paraded the cook.
Don't you want to taste the soup?
he asked.
1 didn't want to taste the soup. But
before I said so-before I revealed the
cruel truth caught the look upon
that cooks face. He was glowing with
pride in this creation of his He was
frank about it. He isn't the sort of an

A sunrise spread over his face. He
dipped that spoon in as though it were

bits of bread-ard handed it to me al
most with prayer. When ] had finished
it he handed me another. He didn't ask

Rockefeller Foundation Finds Task
of Enormous Magnitude.
Report on Work.

NEW YORK. September 24.-The
Rockefeller Foundation, in making
public part 1 of it's annual report, COW
ering the period to the end of 1914,
tells what has been accomplished BY it's
international health commission in
mitigating the ravages of the hook
worm disease in tropical countries.
The report says that the relief and
control of the disease is an undertaking
of enormous magnitude, as the infec-
tion belts the globe in n zone on both

Thus far plans have been adopted
and work has. begun for the control Of
the disease in British Guiana. Antigua.

Work in Southern States.
In addition to carrying on it's work in
foreign countries. the International
health commission also has undertaken

BY HERBERT COREY.
Copyright, 1851


NANCY, August 25.-It isn't possible
for an army to be happy. Every one
knows that An army may be confident,
arrogant. determined. stern-but not
happy. This is one of the minor canons
of war. Correspondents by the score
have demonstrated it.
Nevertheless. the army of Lorraine is
happy. The look it's men wear is not
to be mistaken. They act almost like
schoolboys out for romp. There is no
lack of discipline. but they enjoy them
selves. They smile spontaneously. They
make little jokes. They laugh freely.
What do you think of them?" 1 asked
an American I met here.
They're full of the old pep" said he.
That is an Americanism all Americans
will comprehend. After a moment he
added:
81 think these men would charge hell
with can of powder"
We found an artillery captain on the
staff in one of the Vosges passes. He
personified this spirit to me. He was
the most brilliantly alive man I have
ever met He enjoyed the war and his
men and the trenches and the mud ana
the discomfort to the very core of him.
He fairly bounded on his way from
sheer excess of happiness.
HE makes me think of a landed pro-
prietor showing off his acres said one
member of our party.
He was more exuberant-more vivid
than any one else we met. but the
others had the same spirit. These men
are no doubt fighting because it is their
duty to fight and because they can't
help themselves aud all that sort of
thing But they act like men who are
fighting because they enjoy 1t. They
seem to have a personal interest in the
war. This is their war. they seem to
say to you-"and isn't it a pippin"
