Muensterberg, professor of psychol-

dress tonight before the International
Political Club, of the university. as
serted that he had been reliably in
formed that Russia and Germany
would sign terms of a separate peace
before spring, and that after this
peace there would be an alliance be-
tween Germany, Russia and Japan.
Il know from reliable sources" he
said, that Russia is out of joint, is
half bankrupt, is starving and will
be ready for a separate peace before
spring. The result is to be an alli-
ance between Germany, Austria, Rus
sia and Japan. Japan and Russia are
pushing toward this combination and
an overwhelming majority of the Ger
man people would welcome it today.
'It is the old Bismarckian tradition
that Germany ought to be the friend
of Russia and that such an alliance
would be her surest protection.
If We really want to bring peace
for generation there is no hope but
to bring Germany and England to an
understanding before Germany and
Russia have made peace and formed
an alliance. Neither the English nor
the German people want this peace to-
day, but they ought to want it, for
once the new alliance is formed it
Will seek to crush the ambition Of
England for world power.

seeking to bring about this UNDER

land. Yet real success can be expect

washington, Oct. 19.--Loss of tho
German submarine merchantmen
Bremen virtually was conceded to-
day by ranking Tcutonic diplomats in
position to be familiar with the
movement Of the vessel. The Bremen
Is one month overdue.
- II was admitted that German off,
cials were without information as to
tho fate of the Bremen. All they
know IL that she set out for America
from Bremerhaven and that she
should have arrived at an American
port soon after the middle OF last
month.
The disappearance Of the Bremen,
Will not cause abandonment OF the
project to send merchant submarines
regularly from Germany to the
United States. II was said. There ap-
peared to be reason to expect that
another sub-sea freishter. either the
Deutschland or some other, would
reach an American port somc time
within the next month.
German officials in Washington do
not believe the Bremen could have
fallen into the hands Of the British
unless She had some accident 20 her
machinery. They pointed out that,
unlike naval submarines. merchant
spbmarlnes avoid all localities fre-
Quented by shipping and therefore are
not open to the same risks.
Reports that the Bremen had arriv-
Cd safely In New London were pub
Eshed in newspapers in Germany
more than two weeks ago. 80
The Bremen was commanded by
Capt. Schwarkopf and carried u
crew OF approximately Is men. :
One of,lcial said It was considered
most likely that the Bremen had mot

which hed never heen heard from,

Another argument advanced In
support OF this theory was that the
Bremen had aboard q number Of i'm
portant documents for the German
embassy here which probably would
have been made public had they
fallen into the hands Of the British.

Extensive research conducted by DR..
Horace T. Burrows. pathologist OF the
hospital. has resulted in the discovery
of the infantile paralysis germ. the
existence Of which was established
nine years ago by Or. Simon Flexner.
OF the Rockefeller institute. -
According to DR.. Burrows, the dis
ease is not spread by contagion, but
the germ Is introduced into the hu-
man system through the mouth in
milk or water.
Always in every case of the dis
ease a germ has been found in the big
intestine showing that the disease is
spread by some raw food. That that
food Is milk or water is established
by the fact that babies, whose only
diet has been milk and water, died of
the disease.
DR.. Burrows and his assistants un-
der the direction of Prof. VIM. H.
Welch, have been making autopsies
upon every victim of the disease since
July. They have conducted a care
full microscopic search.
OF the diseased organs it has been
found that the germ occurs only in
the colon. The Investigations prove
that 100 per cent. are infected in the
big intestine. Since it is only possible
for the germ to enter the big intestine
by way of the mouth. food and drink
must be the carriers.
This discovery demonstrates for the
first time clearly that raw food con-
tains the germ Of infantile paralysis.
he investigators are so certain
that this Is true and that there is no
other way for the disease to be con-
tracted that they suggest that the
be raised against personal
contact and that all raw foods, such
as milk, waters, fruits. ETC., be steri-
hZed, boiled or cooked before being
given to children or others.
The investigators found that house
flies and other insects undoubtedly
help to spread the germ from one
food to another.
This discovery is the first one that
has been given out officially by Johns
Hopkins hospital before it has been
published In recognized medical
journal.
This rule Is broken for the first time
In order 20 clear up the mystery sur
rounding the disease as quickly rs
possible and in order to allow the
schools to open and business to go on
as usual.
The find was not made by accident
but as result OF a painstaking re-
search.
The spread Of the disease is so much
like that OF typhoid fever and its
methods of communication that the in
vestigators are sure they have hi.
upon way to make an anti poliomye.
litis vaccine like the anti-typhoid vac
cine that stamped out typhoid in the
United Sttaes army.
