Disease ROBBED
BRITISH OF VICTORY
Australian IGember of Par
lament Claims Defeat Due to
Venereal Affliction.

In a statement issued by the Illinois
Vigilance Association, with headquar-
ters in Chicago, reference is made to
an article be an Australian member of
parliament which states that "the
Dardanelfes campaign might have
been successful if such a large per-
centage of the Australian troops had
not become afflicted with veneral dis
ease during their stay in Egypt and
their stops in the Suez Canal territory.
Reports from European armies also
lament that hospital time and space
has been consumed by veneral disease
patients which should have been avail
able for wounded or unavoilably sick
soldiers.
A recent report states that the ven-
eraI disease Affections in the American
troops now in Europe is at the rate of
1Gt per 1000 per year-or one man in
six year. This is decided increase
over the best records on tn Mexican
border a year ago. and probably shows
in part that there is an increased diff
ficulty in this matter with moving
troops also in European conditions.
This percentage of veneral disease
IL times that of all other afflic-
lions reported. Sir William Osler, NJ.
D., in an address before the London
Medical Society recently, demonstrat-
ed that although death certificates did
not show a large amount of syphilis,
that in reality, syphilis was the cause
of over $4,000 deaths in the London
registration area, while tuberculosis
claimed only $1,000. These two lead
the list of the ten great ling dis
cases.
