PARALYSIS EPIDEMIC
is BEGINNING TO WANE
Less Gases and Less Deaths This
Week Than Last.

New York, Aug. 18.-For the first
time since the epidemic of infantile
paralysis in this city reached pro-
portions to alarm the health authori-
ties the advisory committee of the
board of health tonight announced
with confidence that the disease had
begun to wane. This conclusion was
based on comparative figures of deaths
and cases in previous weeks.
For the six days ending today it
was. shown there had been 778 cases,
an average of about $50 a day while
the week previous the average was
more than 164 day. IN the week
ending August the cases averaged
158 a, day.
The deaths this week. it was point
ed out. A-eraged less than 80 a day,
whereas last week there were 43 q. day.
The optimistic forecast was prepared
at meeting of the advisory commit
tee when it was decided also to begin
an exhaustive investigation to deter
mine whether the removal of tOnsils
and adnOis in children is responsible
for the disease. It is planned to learn
also if enlarged tonsns and adnoids
make children susceptible to the dis
case.

Railroad Officials
to Reply Today
EMPLOYEES HAVE ACCEPTED
PRESIDENT WILSON'S PLAN
DEADLOCK STILL EXISTS
Indications Are That the Railroad
Officials Will Press Further Their
Offer to Arbitrate All the Points at
Issue.

Washington, Aug 1s. - President
Wilson's plan for settlement of the
threatened nation-wire railroad strike
was accepted today by the representa-
tIves of the employees and taken under
consideration by the officials of the
railroads with many indications that
they would reject it tomorrow. The
word came from the managers tonight,
however, that they had reached no
definite decision.
With the situation thus apparently
at a deadlock the only hope in the sit
uation lays in that the representative
of the railroads might suggest q count
er proposal forming the basis of a
settlement or that one side or the
other might recede from its present
position.

DISCOVERIES CONCERNING
INFANTILE PARALYSIS
Expected to RevoIutionize Medical
Knowledge of the Disease.

New York, Aug. 18.-Important dis
coveries concerning infantile paralysis
by surgeons of the United States pub
lie health service, expected to revolu-
tionize medical knowledge of the dis
ease, probably will be announced soon,
it was learned here tonight. Surpris
ing progress has been made at the
government laboratories and by gov
ernment research and field workers, it
was said, but before an announce
ment is made of the couse of the dis
ease or a specific for it the physicians
propose to be in a position where they
no doubt can get down to their con-
clusiOus. Health Commissioner En-
erson said tonight that nine out of
eleven monkeys had been iinocUlated
successfully by government patholo-
gists and that some Of the mysteries
of the disease hitherto puzzling to
medical science had been solved. The
results in Washington have been SO
encouraging that the city bureau of
laboratories here has issued an ap-
peal to public for all kinds of pet an
imals, afflicted recently with paraly
sis to be used for experimental pur-
poses.

BRITISH REPLY IN
REGARD TO CENSORSHIP
Will Be Sent to Washington in the
Course of a Few Days.

London, Aug. IS, $50 p. nl.-The
British reply to the American inquiry
in regard to the operation of the cen
sorship in transit of American news
cabIed from Germany by way of Lon
don will be sent to Washington in the
course of few days. Discussing this
subject Lord Robert Cecil, trade min
lister said:
Considerable misapprehensiOn evil
IDENTIFY exists in regard to our censor
ship of transit. There is no question
that such censorship of trnsit matter
which on our wires and cables is nee
sary as long as Germany continues in
absolute control of all information
from the country. If Germany should
abondon the censorship we would not
interfere with dispatches from un-
based American correspondents.
Another reason we now censor such
matter is the fact that Germany cir
culates in other countries dispatches
sent to American newspapers as the
comment of those papers"
