They are in the shape of heelless

MORGAN CALLS OFF SALE
OF THE TREASURY BILLS
Action Due to the Federal Reserve
Boards Warning to
Bankers.

NEW YORK, December ii. =. Nor
gan g. Co. have withdrawn the pro-
posed sale of British and French treas
ury bills, according to instructions re-
ceived by them from abroad
The announcement was contained in
the following statement:
I'VE have been instructed by the
British and French governments to
withdraw their treasury bills from
sale.
I'VE have accordingly expressed to
those institutions and investors which
had already placed orders with us for
these securities the wish TO be released
from the obligations to deliver. and
they have been good enough to accede.
This action is because, explained
by the British chancellor OF the ex-
cheauer and by the French minister of
finance, these governments desire to
show every regard to the federal re-
serve board, governmental body Of
which the Secretary of the Treasury
and the comptroller OF currency are
eX-officio members.
we may add that the sale in limited
amount of these treasury bills, payable
in New York, has never been essen
tial part Of the allied governments
financial plans. but have for some time
been under consideration. with q view
to furnishing credit medium that
would accommodate the American
banking demands for an instrument of
short maturity and of such limited
volume that the government could al
ways undertake to lay down gold in
New York sufficient to meet the ma
tured hills.
''It was believed further that these bills
would have furnished at the end of the
protection
TO the American financial situation mas
much as these steadily maturing obliga-
tions of the foreign governments would
have tended TO prevent heavy drafts of
gold from this market"
An informal statement was made by Il
member Of the Morgan company that no
other financial plans have been formulat-
ed In place Of the ones abandoned.

GIVES GERMAN VIEWPOINT
ON U-BOAT TREATMENT

CHRISTIANIA, Norway, December 1.
via London.-The Da gbladet today pub
lished an interview with Herr
Michaelis. German minister to Nor
way. outlining Germany's point of
view on the submarine controversy
with Norway. The minister says. In
part:
Germany cannot tolerate any spe-
,iai treatment OF war and merchant
submarines by neutrals. Norway is
The sole neutral which by special in
structions has conveyed the impress
sion OF adopting the view OF the en-
lente.
Germany is permitted by interna-
tional law to defend herself with all
her powers against Norwegian ships
carrying contraband which prolongs
the war, and the recent food crisis
in Great Britain, France and Russia
have shown that Germany is on the
right path Germany will not be de-
prfved of the sharp weapon she pos
eessed in the submarine. On the other
hand. Germany will always respect
Norways really difficult position, and
the most we expect Of really independ-
ent Norway is that she does not treat
German warfare and German eco
nomic problems differently than those
OF the enemy"

SCIENTISTS THINK FIND
IS THE PARALYSIS GERM

ST. PAUL, Mimi. December IA
germ believed to be the causative agent
of infantile paralysis has been isolated
at the Mayo clinic in Rochester, Mimi,
by Dr. Z. c. Rosenow and his associ-
ates. Dir. L. b. Towne of Boston and Dr..
c. W. Wheeler of New York. according
to an announcement made in the St
Paul Dispatch today. The scientists
are experimenting on vaccine or Sc
rum to combat the disease.
The physicians would not state posi-
lively that the micro organism dis
covered was that of infantile paralysis
but said tnar ,neIr experiments pointed
that way. Their experiments were based
on the study DR.. RosenoW made of more
tnan fifty acute cases Of the disease in
New York and Rochester.
What is described as peculiar
polymorphous streptococcus" has been
isolated often in large numbers from
the throats and tonsls of acute cases
or lniantile paralysis. In different cul-
ture media the germs assumed different
sizes. it is declared. In some cases they
were so small that they were quite in
visible under the microscope and easily
filtered through dense porcelain.
Using the organism in it's large
form. paralysis has been consistently
produced in animals known to be in
susceptible to inoculation,' says a
statement from the physicians. 1.-The
exact relation of our results to the
facts already established as to the eti-
ology OF poliomyelitis cannot yet be
definitely stated. 1t appears to us that
the small filtered organism which has
been generally accepted as the cause
of poliomyelitis may be the form which
this streptococcus tends to take under
