Think Germ of Scourge Found.

Rochester, Y. Y, Dec. In the
laboratories of the famous Mayo
clinic here, a micro-organism has
been discovered which is believed by
investigators in the department OF
pathology to be the crusative agent
of infantile paralysis-the dread dis
ease which last summer killed or
crippled nearly 10000 American ba-
bies
With customary scientific reserve,
DR.. E. c. Rosenow, who is in charge
of the experiments, will not yet as
sert positively that the germ which
he and his associates, DR.. E. B.
Towne, of Boston, and DR.. G. w.
Wheeler, of New York, have succeed
ed in isolating, is the germ of in
fantile paralysis, but in what he
terms a preliminary note," that has
been presented to the State medical
society, it is shown that experiments
during the past few months all point
in this direction.
If it be true that the agent of the
disease has thus been found and cat
alogued-and there is no real doubt
in the minds of the scientists &C
quainted with the experiments that
this has been dOne-then half of one
Of the greatest battles in modern
medicine already has been won.
There remains. of course, the impor-
tant task of developing serum or a
vaccine, or perhaps both, with which
immunity may be established in hu-
man beings. but when the germ has
been tagged this at once becomes
possible.
1t is entirely within the range of
probability that before another sum-
mer comes the world may hear that
infantile paralysis definitely has been
relegated to the category of such
diseases as dipththeria, smallpox and
other readily controlled a1f1lctlonS.
With the memory of last summers S
horror still fresh in the public mind,
no more important piece of news
could be presented to Americans.
Because Of the high hopes which
the discovery Of some mistake or
broken link in the present chain OF
scientific evidence would dash, those
interested in the experiments at
Rochester are especially restrained
in making announcements. Never
theless, DR.. RosenoW's report cannot
but have the effect of creating in
tense public interest in the outcome
of further experimentation with cur
ative vaccines and serums. 1t is

PROMISES PREPARATION.
If Error Was Made by Submarine Ber
lin Government Will Punish.

Washington. Dec. 1.-Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador
delivered to Secretary of State Ian
sing today Germany's reply to the
American request for information
concerning the sinking Of the British
steamer Marina, with the loss of SIN
American lives.
The German submarine comman-
der reported that he attacked the
Marina in the belief that it was a
transport. The German foreign Of
fee through Count Won Bernstort1
asked for the information in posses
sion of this government, in order
that the exact status of the vesse!
might be cleared up, as its informa-
tion was not complete.
Germany also, it is understood, as
sured the United States that If an
error had been made by the subma-
rine commander, full reparation, as
we'll as apology; would be made i'm
mediately, without waiting for a de-
mand by this country. 1t was be-
lieved also that the submarine COM
mander would be punished if 1t is
proved that mistake was made by
him.
The Marina's record is believed to
have been clouded, and it is under
stood that this government is not in
possession of absolute proof Of its
peaeeable character. 1t was reported
in London soon after the sinking of
this ship that it was believed to have
been previously in the British trans
port service.
After Count Won Bernstorff, who
asked for the interview with Secre-
tary Lansing, had left the State de-
partment today, Mr.. Lansing went to
the white house, where he submitted
the German reply to President Will
son. 1t was said that the president
had no objection to the State depart
ment's furnishing Germany with the
information sought, and it will be
transmitted by Count Won Bernstorff
Immediately to Berlin foreign office.
The impression was general in ad-
ministration circles that no serious
crisis would arise from the Marina
incident.
1t was recalled that in the Ameri-
can note to Berlin in the Sussex case
Germany was informed that a sever
ance of diplomatic relations would
result if she conducted submarine
war upon merchantmen without
warning. 1t was not believed then,
however, and is not thought now, that
mistakes could always be avoided,
and it was intimated that proof of
Germany's intention not to violate
the rules of law is found in the fact
that although her submarines have
sunk hundreds of ships since the
pledge was given, there has hereto
fore been no proof that the promise
was broken.

by the new relation between orchestra

forth the drama of love and disaster. of
such love which seemingly could rise only
out of sin and could end not other

TRISTAN UND ISOLDE
At THE OPERA HOUSE
Moving Performance of Great
Love Drama by
Metropolitan

For the first time in two, perhaps more,
years Richard Wagners music drama,

Metropolitan Opera House last night The
assurance of success was set on the per-
formance when the Metropolitan sent for
the principal characters. Mines. Gadski

doubts as to what the singing would be.
1t was, in fact, superb.
Nine. Gadski has been heard here be-
fore this season and her lovely Elsa is
still potent memory. Elsa, in fact, more
than Isolde, lies within the limited range
of Nine Gadskl's powers of characterize
tion but her singing of Isolde had. last
night, an emotional depth, was suffused
with a glowing and glamourous light
unique in our experience of her voice.
Nine. Homer's Brangaene was complete in
both essentials-it was dignified, almost
majestic, in pose and attitude. and her
voice, not darkened, was both ringing and
rich. In the neffable second act Mr.. Ur

TIGER, SPICK AND SPAN.
Upon leaving the Lion, which retains
but few battle scars, and has the most
honored name in the British navy today,
we we're put aboard a fast oil-burning
destroyer and reviewed" the fleet.
Standing upon the bridge with the
mand, we passed the entire fleet drawn
up in the very battle line which will meet
the Germans on that day when the enemy
emerges from Kiel. The Tiger, which has
so often been sunk by German reports,
was newly-painted. and looked as If IL
had just gone into commission Other
ships, which had Just arrived from the
ceaseless patrol-work maintained in the
North Sea, were weather-worn and dirty.
AS our destroyer, yelled in thick smoke,
rushed along between the double lines
of waiting warcraft, Britains naval
strength was spread out before us: bat
tie cruisers, destroyers, memberships,
torpedoboats. trawlers, and mysterious
tramps: each wanting only a single word
of command to steam off Immediately to-
ward FSiel to engage the German navy

A CHANCE TO DESTROY.
At banquet given that evening to the
visiting French journalists, we Americans
were unneutral enough to drink the toast:
"Au President de la RepubIique Franchise
j'ai rhonneur de lever mon verre !" The
Frenchmen gave us in return Hail,
Columbia ~ And to wind up our trip
to the British fleet, a naval Commander
explained to our French colleagues the
attitude of the British navy: IT is not
that we have feared the submarines OF
the enemy, but that we have feared that
we should not destroy themv'
This statement will be repeated to
100000 French readers, and there is no
reason why few Brooklyntes should not
understand that the only thing the British
navy fears today is that the enemy will
not venture out to be destroyed.
