Reverting to the official and less ro-

Pearce, secretary of the medical advis-

said:
"In sudden emergencies such as cpl
denies of meningitis or %diphtheria,
either inside a military encampment or
in the vicinity, a great deal of highly
specialized laboratory work will be
necessary for proper control of the ep-
demic. Although laboratories will be
established in each district, sufficient
for ordinary requirements, these may
have neither the equipment nor the
staff to meet such emergencies, and to
all of these laboratories would
be excessively expensive.

mer foreign minister and one CT the
prime movers in the revolution. He
first offered by telephone his services

NJ Milukoff related that a few days

his headquarters but that Milukoff
refused to do so. Mi1ukoff safd he
proposed that he go to headquarters
with authority from the government
to negotiate peace between the fac
lions. NJ. KerenSky, however, de-
clared that no reconciliation was pos
sible and received the backing of the
other members of the government in
his demand for the unequivocal sur

after the conference, issued a state
ment to the press in which he said he
intended taking no official position or
any action in the present situation.

submarines probably had been sunk
off the French coast when they at
tacked a fleet of merchantmen, in

The facts are, so far as is known to-
night, that one submarine was prob

as soon as the error was discovered.
In preparing for the press in the

that 'all' of the six submarines prob
