TRENCH FEVER CAUSE FOUND.
American Soldiers Risk Lives to Aid
in Germ Hunt. -


Washington, June 1S.-American
medical officers with the assistance Of
sixty-six heroic soldiers of the expedi-
tionary forces in France have taken
the first tep in eradicating tren:h fever
one Of the most battling diseases rita
which the allied armies have had to
deal, by Identifying the fever rs a
germ disease which Is spread by trench
lice.
Medical officers hail this new discov-
cry as being as important to the allied
armies as the service General GOrga 8
did for humanity in Identifying mas
quitoes as. carriers Of yellow fever and
eliminating that plague from Cuba ana
Panama.
American medical officers In France
identified trench fever as germ dis
ease by taking blood from mcn with
the fever and injecting It into healthy
men. It was established that lice
carried the disease by allowing lice
from trench feve- cases to bite healthy
men.
These men were from field hospitals
and ambulance companies and prac-
ticslly all Of them came from the New
England division Of national guards
men. They were selected from large
group OF volunteers as the healthlest
and consequently the best able to
withstand a long siege Of trench fever,
All Of them recovered and are now
either entirely cured or convalescent
''It is no mean thing that these vol
unteers did in France" Secretary
Baker said. ITO face illness Of weeks
with extreme sufferins. requlrse

peculiar valor. The average loss or
weight for these men was from twenty
to twenty-five pounds Incidentally
the hospital in which the experiments
were carried out was shelled by the
Germans in the early part Of their
March drive. It Is believed by the
army medical corps that the sacrifice
Of this group Of sixty six men Will IN
time lead to the protection of tnon-
sands OF men from the ravases OF
trench fever"
A movement has already taken form
to obtain military decorations for the
sixty-six volunteers who were willing
to sacrifice themselves that many
might be saved.
Altho trench fever is not a fatal
disease, it left certain portion OF its
victims permanently, unfit for military
service thru its debilitating effects, and
was recognized as one of the greatest
causes of disability in the allied army.
Allied medical officers, however. could
not establish by experiments on AMI
mails what the disease was and how
spread. because no animals suscepti-
BILE to- the disease could be found.
With discovery Of the cause OF the
disease, the American medical depart
ment, in cooperation with the allied
medical corps, has taken UP the ques-
ton Of controlling the disease.
