France To Have Two
 Deputy War Ministers


 Paris, July 22-The passage of the law framed by Deputy Jean HennessE, empowering the French government to appoint two more Under SecretaR- ies of State for War. in addition % the one now charged with oversee ing the production of munitions $ still another. step along the line ef Centralized developments of the gov ernment's military organization. The new Under Secretaries will be under M. Mi1Ierand, the Minister of War, precisely as is Albert Thomas, the Under Secretary charged with the production of munitions. In France, in contrast to, England there is but one civil head of everything pertain ing to land operations, and that head is the War Minister
 The two posts just created incIude the sanitary service of the army on the one hand, and the feeding and clothing the fighting men of France on the other. The administration of both has been the subject or some little paEIiaTnentar criticism of late5 it has therefore been thought wise to definite personality to whom to ad- dress their observations
 MT. Justin Godarts himself Dep -uty and one of the Vice Presidents of the Chamber of Deputies, a Radical Socialist who has made a specially 6f
  lems. and especially those phases. hay ing to do with the hygiene of labor, has been appointed the Under Score tary of State for War with the con tro1 of the military sanitary service. His job is to be a sort of civil Colonel Gorgas in the French conduct Of their great task MT. Godart is lawyer and a young man, having been born in Lyons in 1871. He began his political career as Deputy for the Rhone in-1906,
 Speaking of his work, and parste- u1arIy that part of it which will haze to do with solving the problem pf what is to become of those so badly wounded in the VvaE as to be inca pacitated for ordinary occupations, MT. Godart said to an editor Of Le Matin:
 .eIt is not enough to nurse and tC care for them; the social values which ticularIy of those who have been per ticu1ar1y of those who have been per Tnanently nutilated by war Those whose faculties and aptitudes have been diminished by the war must be they have returned to it, and re-edH- cated for their new existence This work iss of course. especially a work for the future; but it is better to De gin to think about tC now
 The man who is to be a sort of
  army is known as -'Thierry of Al sace." He was born in Alsace, al Haguenau. in 1s57--when AIsaee was still a part of France After the seiz- ing of A1sace by Germany in 1871 Joseph Thierry moved to AIarseiIIes where hep ractised law until elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 1888 From that time on he has given the greater part of his life to politics He is a distinguished economist, and has been chairman of the tarin commit tee Of the Chamber of Deputies as well as vice chairman of the budge1 committee At one time he gave great deal of attention to the F'rencE merchant marine, and was the author of bill dealing with that question
 On March 21. 1913. in the cabfnet of which Barthou was premier, Jo- seph Thierry was Minister of Public Works, a post for which he was con sidered enninently fitted.

TYPHOID FEVER AMONG
 THE ENGLISH TROOPS

Captain Harry MoreI, of the Ca nadian Army Medical Corps, who IS now in charge of the inocu1Atfon de- pot at Tidworth Barracks, England. speaks most highly Of the benefits de- rived from anti-typhoid inocu1ation. It seems remarkable that the sick rate of the English troops is only three per cent, indeed lower than in some of the home garrisons. This. is due largely to the absence of typhoid fever. In the Boer war more men died of typhoid fever than of other dis eases combined, this disease caused more deaths than bullets. Nearly all of the soldiers engaged in the present campaign have been inoculated and not a single man protected by inocu-. .lation has died of typhoid fever.
 s.Of the 421 cases of typhoid in the present campaign among British troops 305 eases were in men who were not inocu1ated within two years. In the 421 eases there have been 35 deaths Of these deaths, 34 men who had not been inocu1ated within two years. Only one death occurred among patients who were inoculated, and that man had only been inocuIat- ed once, instead of the proper number of times-nanl0 ely, twice.
 From all these favorable reports it is quite likely that inoculation against typhoid fever will be made conpul- sorry in the British as it has been in the United States army since 1910."- Public Health Journal May. 1915.
