London.-The medical correspondent

"a discovery Of Importance Is de-
scribed in the Journal of the Royal

feet that amoebic dysentery is carried
about by the housefly.
"One has only to remember the de-

to understand how the dysentery out

Of fly and sewage destruction and ar
rangements for preventing flies from

Fifty Youngsters, Who Will Later Be

Paris.-To promote a deep and last
Ing understanding between England,
France and the United States is the
aim Of the Lafayette school recently
established in the old Lafayette cha
teau Chateau ChaVinac) in Auverne,
France, which will open early in Octo-
Der with fifty French boys as pupils.
The quaint and historic Lafayette
chateau has been purchased by friends
of the American Fund For French He
roes, Of which Mrs. William Astor
Chanler is chairman. About $4,000 a
year will be needed to run the school
for fifty boys, and it is hoped that the
response to appeals to the public will
bring enough money so that the insti-
tuition can be enlarged to accommodate
200 boys and can be endowed as per-
manent international center of instruc-
ton.
For the present the sons of French
men who have fallen In battle will be
received, carefully selected from lists
submitted by French projects. No boy
older than twelve or younger than six
Is taken. Until he is eighteen he re-
ceives the best education that can be
given him by French and English mas
tiers, and when he reaches eighteen he
comes to the United States to study for
three or four years in an American uni
verSity or in some branch of business
or industry which will fit him to take
back American ideas and ideals to be
used in the rebuilding Of his country.
As the plan progresses it is expected
that the sons of British and American
soldiers will receive similar education
In France.
The school has been Endorsed by the
highest French authorities and will be
under the same system Of inspection
