TRENCH FEVER HAS
HEAVY Death TOLL
BritiSh-AmeriCan Medical CON-
mission So States in Report

London, April 10 Correspondence
OF The Associated Prcss)-Trench
fever and shell shock are the two
most difficult problems that this war
has presented to medical science, &C
cording to a report issued by a Brit
ish American medical commission
which recently has been sitting here
Cases of trench fever were reported
from France as early as 1915, and the
disease has been continually studied
ever since, but the organism which
causes it has not been discovered nor
has any drug been found for it's sue
cessful treatment. The American
army doctors believe that they have
definitely established that trench
fever is communicated by body
louise, a fact which has been repeat
eddy suspected by the British inves-
tigators also
The fact that the disease Is growing
more prevalent and is spreading from
the trenches to the back areas is also
noted in the report. The original
cases We're all among troops in the
trenches, but the disease is now prev
alent on various lines of communica-
ton and at the bases. Even hospital
orderlies and nurses are occasional
victims
The actual crux of the discussion
seems to be whether trench fever is
a disease of man transmitted by the
louise, or some disease among lice
themselves which is transmissible to
men. If the latter. the cure would
seem to be the eradication of lice, a
gigantic and almost hopeless task in
war time. If the former, the dis
semination of the disease comes down
to a control of the human carriers,
and probably an easier task. The
commission recommends energetic
action in the direction of greater per-
sonal cleanliness, which will also con-
tribute greatly to the general COM
fort and health of the troops

church as given for 1915, as compared
with the figures used in the reports
for 1906 and 1890 The membership
of the Roman Catholic church covers
as above stated, all baptized persons,
including infants, but in the reports
for 1890 and 1906 a deduction OF 10
per cent. was made to cover those un-
der 8 wears of age, as this was under-
stood to be the age at which the Hrst
communion is usually taken; nut no
similar deductions were made Tor the
Eastern and other churches having a
similar basis of membership, because
of the very much smaller number in
yolved. In providing for the present
census of religious bodies, however, 1t
was decided after most careful con-
sideration, to credit each denomlna-
ton with it's total membership, IRE
spective of the varying conditions OIL
mem bership, whether OF age or otner-
wise. On this basis of deduction, the
total repaired membership of the
Roman Catholic church for 1870
(7,S43.1s6) was reduced to 6,241,70s,
and that for 1906 G4,21O,755) to
12.O79.142. This made a difference for
1906 of 2.131,613 and, if this deduc-
ton had not been made in the report
for that year, the total membership of
all religious bodies fer 1906 would
have been 35,06S,05S, indicating an in
crease for the 10 years from 1906 TO
1916 of 6,976,S16, Or 1913 per cent. On
n similar basis, the total membership
of all religious bodies for 1890 would
have been Il, $50, 49,, representing an
increase for the 16 years from 1890
to 1906 of 13,36S,626, or 61.6 per cent.
OF the separate denominations, the
Roman Catholic church reports, by
far, the largest membership. namely,
15,742a62. out of a total membership
reported by all religious bodies for
1915 of 42,044,374, or 31.4 per cent.
Besides the Roman Catholic church.
there are eight other denominations
for each of which more than 100000
members were reported i'll 1916, as
follows:
Baptists-
Northern Convention 49,. 1927, AS

Protestant Episcopal $1,000. l.oss, 1I3
These eight denominations and the
Roman Catholic church together COM
prised 32,4sS,732. or 77.2 per cent. of
the entire membership reported for all
religious bodies in 1915.
The three branches of Baptists to-
gether comprised 6.957,5S0 embers,
but if all il Baptist bodies (see Ia

membership is increased to 1886, $50.
Similarly, the two principal Methodist
bodies together comprised 5,S26,457

Methodist membership is increased to

Population Changes.

Amsterdam, April 1S.--War has
produced some remarkable changes
In the population and relative i'm
portance of big German cities. The
five principal centers of the nlunition
industries have suddenly mounted to
places among the nine largest cities
in Germany. Before the war Munich
was the third largest city in Ger
many, ranking Immediately after
Berlin and Hamburg. Munich has
now dropped into seventh place, and
Bochum. in Westphalian Prussia, has
risen to third place.
Bochum Is the seat of great coal,
iron and steel industries. In 1900 it
had a scant $4,000 inhabitants Now
it boasts of more than $4,000.
Dresden and Breslau, which were
formerly the fourth and fifth cities
in Germany, have fallen we'll behind
Dortmud and Essen.
An official tabulation of the chief
population centers of Germany gives
them in the following order:
