VACCINE POINTS
USED IN OMAHA
ARE INFECTED
Drs. ConnelI and LangfeId As
sert Supply Contaminated and
Believe Pro-German Mis-
Creant to Be Guilty.

Vaccine points manufactured by
the National Vaccine company at
Washington, and used in Omaha. have
been tested by City Bacteriologist
Langfeid and found to contain ,pts
germs in dangerous quantities.
Health Commissioner Connell and
DR.. Langfeld assert that these points
have been contaminated and their be-
lief is that a provGerman miscreant
accomplished his purpose.
Dr.. Connell urges all physicians, 70
return without delay all vaccine points
of the National Vaccine conlpany's s
manufacture. A telegram received on
Sunday by DR.. Connell from the Ma
tional Vaccine company requested
that all of its points in Omaha be re-
turned at once, and stated that the
company had called in all of its points
in the United States.
The health commissioner and city
bacteriologist believe that vaccine
points used October ;, when 200 chill
dren were inoculated at Madison
school, were polluted before reaching
OMAHA.
Points Tempered With.
IT made meteorological examina-
ton of some of these points, as in
structed by Dr.. Connell, and found
evidence of pus germs in such guam
titles as do cause me to believe that
the points had been tampered with by
a person having sinister design"
stated DR.. Langfeld.
One hundred boys and girls OF the
Madison school, Seventeenth and
Madison streets, South Side, have
sore arms as the result OF general
vaccination applied at this school on
October 3, on order and under direc-
ton Of the city health department.
There were 200 vaccinated at this
school on that date. None of the
stricken cases is serious, according to
the health commissioner, who gave
the following statement yesterday:
Pro-German Miscreant. y
/" am convinced that the stricken
children Of Madison school are vic
Tins of a pro-German miscreant who
contaminated a supply of vaccine
points used by US and manufactured
by the National company at Washing.
ton, d. {. This company is one OF
the Oldest and most reliable in the
country. | have just received tele-
gram from them, asking me to sen.
them any supply I have on hand an.
they stated they have called in all OF
their points in this country. These
points were contaminated with pus
germs which cause sore arms, but /
do not look for any serious results
from any case. The National COM
pany advised me that in some city,
the name not being mentioned by
them, tetanus germs were discovered
in their points.
Two weeks before the Madison
school children were vaccinated, 800
children at Long school were vac

This meeting, which will be directed
by E. l.. Burke, will be the first since
the appointment of this all important
organization. Mr.. Burke returned yes
terday from an extended visit to Chi
cago, where he was in conference with
Joseph p. Cotton, chief of the United
States Food Administration, meat de-
partment.
ACCORD WITH GOVERNMENT.
"The policies of the Nebraska COM
mittee will be in sympathy with that
of the national policy, as outlined by
Mr.. Cotton" said Mr.. Burke, "and
can best be told in his words:
The main purpose of the food ad-
ministration as to hogs are four:
ITO see that the producer at all
times can count on a fair price for his
hog, so that it will be profitable for
him.
ITO see that the farmer increases
the number Of hogs bred.
TO limit the profit of the packer.
ITO eliminate speculation. b. "
Must Have More Hogs.
"All these are necessary because
we must have more hogs, so that the
ultimate consumer shall at all times
get sn adequate Supply OF hogs al The
lowest feasible price.
We shall establish rigid control OF
the packer. Fair prices to the farmer.
we believe, will be brought about by
the full control which the food ad-
Inlnistration has over the buying of
the allies and other big consumers.
The first step Is to stop the sudden
break in the prices paid for hogs at
the central markets. These prices
must become stable so that the farmer
will know where he stands and will
feel justified in increasing his produc-
tion. The prices so far as we can af-
feet them will not go below a mini
mum of $3.50 per 100 on the Chicago
market until further notice.
Practical Growers Advice.
1--WE have had, and will continue to
have, the advice OF board composed
of practical hog growers. That board
advises the best way to determine
prices is the cost OF corn.
THE board further advises the ratio
OF hog prices to corn prices for
series of years has been about II to
one, but to bring the production back
to where it should be the ratio should
be about Is to one--that is, the farmer
should get for his hogs farrowed next
spring Is times the average cost per
bushei of the corn fed into the hogs
to get them ready for market.
Let there be no misunderstanding
of the meaning of this statement. 1t
is not promise by the packers. 1t
is statement of the intention and
policy of the food administration,
which means consideration for the
farmer"

SAMMIES IN LORRAINE.
II is about Ave miles north of the
city of Luneyille and six miles east OF
the town of ST. Nicholas Du Port.
Nancy il about a dozen miles due
west. ..eee ..
If the Germans are right, then the
American troops are in Lorraine close
to the old frontier, and are covering
one of the main roads between Nancy
and Strassburg. Along this road the
Germans came in their great advance
of 1914, which was stopped just east
OF St. Nicholas Du Port. The forest
OF Parroy, just south Of the town Of
the same name, has seen some Of the
seyercst fighting on the whole Lor-
raiac front.
There has been no fighting on this
front for more than two years, but IT
the German statement is correct, the
American troops are now holding
lines covering the eastern gateway to
France. The positions which they
hold were lost by the French as a
consequence of the defeat of Nor
l,ange in August, 1914, and regained
in the hrst.days of September, 1914.
Rests on German Report.
All the foregoing speculation rests
upon the German official statement.
Coneeivably the Germans have issued
this statement in the hope of elicit
ing information. But the chances are
tia. they have known for many weeks
c%fcl,v, where our troops were.
be-,il's terse announcement today
tat North American" soldiers had
hcen captured by German patrols on
t1e Rhine -Marne canal on the French
front. brought the American people
a step nearer to the heart of the great
struggle.
There was no doubt here that the
men referred to were members of
General pershng's force undergoing
final training with French regiments
in front line trenches. Confirmation
from General Pershing was lacking,
but in due course he will transmit
the names, of any men missing and
this may furnish some light.
