G0RGAS TO HUNT
YELLOW FEVER
Heads Rockefeller Com
mission Sailing for South
America.

A commission appointed by the In
ternational Health Board of the
Rockefeller Foundation to gather in
formation as TO the prevalence of yell
low fever and report on the feasibil-
ity Of a campaign for the complete
eradication of the disease sailed yes
terday on the United Fruit liner AL
mirante for tour Of South Ameri-
can ports. General William c. Cor
gas, L. S. A.. heads the commission.
He has obtained four months leave
OF absence from the army to under
take the work.
The other members Of the body are
DR.. Henry R. Carter, OF the United
States Public Health Service; DR..
Juan Guiteras, head Of the Public
Health Service of Cuba; DR.. T. c.
Lyster, DR.. Eugene R. Whitmore. DR..
William D. Wrightson and Harry II.
Wakefield. secretary.
The commission will go first 10
Caracas, Venezuela; then 10 Colon,
Panama, where they will cross the
Isthmus and visit the various ports
on the west coast of South America,
where yellow fever is still prevalent.
Sailing through the Strait Of Maeel-
Ian, they will next stop at a number
Of ports in Brazil.
Although the eradication OF yellow
fever in Havana has removed the
chief danger 20 this country from the
ravages of the disease, members OF
the commission said. it is still a source
of anxiety in South American coun-
tries. The control of yellow fever
is regarded as the most urgent need
arising tom the opening Of the Pan
ANA Canal Sources OF infection that
have been -omparatively harmless on
account Of their isolation have become
dangerous through the close CONNER
cia relations which have been devel-
oped between countries hitherto en-
joying practically no foreign eX-
change.
The work of General Gorgas at Ha-
vana and Panama has proved that We
low fever can be exterminated in such
endemic centres. The commission will
pay especial attention TO the FIVE or
six endemic foci which are the seed
beds Of all infection. Il hopes 70 dis
cover practical methods for the COM
plete eradication Of the disease.

HARVARD AUTHORITIES
OPPOSE FLYING CORPS
Block Plan of Fifty Students as
Too Dangerous.
rBy Telegraph to The T1bun. J

Cambridge, Mass, June 1.-THE Har-
ward Corporation decided to-day that 1t
would not sanction the formation Of a
Harvard flying corps. About nifty men
rad arranged 10 take lessons at an ayi-
alton school on Long Island, with a
view to forming such a corps. Reasons
given by the corporation for opposing
the plan are:
First Because il is dangerous un-
dertaking. and for any accidents when
should happen the corporation would
feel itself morally responsible.
Second Because there Is the prop
ability that the movement might De
commercialized in the future and the
nap,e OF the university used for private
purposes.
Third Because Harvard has on hand
many other enterprises worthy OF grad
yates support and OF an equally patri-
otto character.
The men interested in the flying
CORPS already had collected $4,000
from graduates.

CHURCH PLEADS
FOR WAR RELIEF
Story of Blind and Home
less Told in Circulars Sent
to Communities.

The Federal Council Of the Churches
Of Christ in America will send to-day
TO all its affiliated churches and Sun
day schools a second appeal for contri-
buttons to various national funds be-
ing collected for war relief work. Il
is the aim OF the council 10 establish
relief collection committee in every
church, and a community committee
in every town and city in the country.
1--WE wish that we might convey TO
you the reports and stories that come
70 US from the war relief bureaus" says
the appeal, which has been prepared
in circular form for distribution to
churches. The B. f. B. Blind Fund
writes that $4,000 are blinded and that
at the rate this continues hundreds Of
thousands will require permanent care.
although some of them are taking their
own lives.
Every pastor ought TO secure from
the Jewish organizations a copy Of this
circular and read the pitiful story OF
the Jews. People like the Montene-
grns, Ukrainians. HISTORIANS, and peo-
pies Of Persia and Syria have received
almost no relief. except that furnished
by people Of their own race in this
country.
THE German relief organizations
send US the story Of 100000 homeless
people in East Prussia. OF $4,000 houses
destroyed, with the consequent suffer
ing of thousands of women and chill
dren."
The first need for these and other
specific cases is money, the appeal says,
but there is also an opportunity 10 sup
ply new and clean secondhand clothing
woollen yarn and cloth, hospital sup
plies, blankets, cotton, and various
kinds of imperishable food.
Pastors are urged 10 appoint commit
tees in their churches. 20 consult with
other pastors, and gec their coopera-
ton. and 20 see that the appeal is seri
ously considered By local church fed
erations or ministers associations. IL
is suggested that special appeals be
made to Sunday school children, by Us
ing dime banks, such "a are furnished
by the b. F. B. fund. and that sunday
be set aside for special presentation IN
the churches of the cause Of war re-
lief.

Saluda Baptist church of the Reedy
River association, having in church
conference authorized Bro. J. R. Ir-
wi,p, as a committee of one to invite
three ministers of the gospel and the
deacons of sister churches to meet
at the church on July 2, 1916, and
form presbytery to ordain Rev. 6.
R. P.ettigrew; Rev. Pettigrew and his

and satisfactory examination of the
candidate the report was, made to the
church by Rev. E. V. Babb, and the
ordination was proceeded with.
Rev H. w. Stone preached a most
impressive sermon, explaining what
ordination was and how it equipped
the minister for his full duties and
brought him into full brotherhood
with his fellow ministers; also the
duties of the church towards their
minister; how they should sustain
him materially and by prayer, and
encourage him by word and act
cheering him on to greater effort
and zeal in preaching the Word.
Rev. f. V. Babb delivered the
charge and impressed upon the can
didate the great necessity of going to
God for his message and reading the
Word; and that the church should
put themselves in the proper attitude
to receive the truth as it is in Christ
Jesus the Lord.
After the charge prayer by Rev
E. V. Babb, with all the Presbytery
surrounding the candidate with bow
ed head and the laying on of hands,
