Disinfection OF
Soldiers Urged to
PreUe11t Disease

Mayor Hylan, acting on the sugges-
ton OF Health Commissioner Cope
land, has notified the Mayors of cities
at every point where returning troops
may land of the danger from disease
infection if the men are permitted to
see relatives and friends without first
undergoing thorough disinfection of
bodies and clothing.
Commissioner Copeland said yester-
day that II per cent of the men enter
ing this country from France are car
rying vermin. Even the surgical dress
ings of wounded men are infected.
"The vermin are known carriers of
trench fever and typhus, and it is to
protect the civilian population against
disease that we must be most rigid in
our quarantine restrictions,' said the
Commissioner.
"The surgeon general of the army
has said that he had every reason to
believe the War Department. was plen-
ming to take proper care of the men
in this matter. But that was not
enough; there must be no doubt about
it. We want to know positively that it
is being done"
The Commissioner said that some
soldiers have been returned to this
country from abroad in the same
clothes they wore in the trenches.
These men constitute q great menace
to the public health, he said.
Under the strict inspection of DR..
l.. F. Cofer, of the port, seventeen ty-
phoid carriers were taken from one
steamer arriving here last week.

"a Warships Made
Into Transports 10
Bring Troops Home

The armored cruiser North Carolina.
the first of twenty-four warships to
be converted for transport service in
returning troops to the United States.
was announced yesterday to be on her
way to Brest. The other vessels, four
teen battlesnips and nine armed
cruisers, will be ready to start within
a few days.
1t took only fourteen working days
to prepare the North Carolina for her
new service. She has accommodations
for 1,6o0 men and 100 officers, in ad-
ditlon to her complement of 625. This
makes her capacity the largest of any
OF the naval vessels that are to en-
gage in the transport service. The
battleships are to carry 1000 soldiers
each, and the cruisers 1900, making
the total number carried at VOYAGE
about 10000.
In addition, forty-four navy trans
ports have been assigned to this ser
vice. They will be utilized, for the
present, at least, almost entirely to
bring back wounded and sick. having
been equipped with large sick bavs
for that purpose.
During the war the North Carolina
made nine round trips in the convoy
service, sailing nearly 10000 miles and
helping to guard 10000 soldiers on
their way to France.

Pay of Soldiers
Held Up Months,
Due to System

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-While no
specific complaint has reached Major
General Ireland, surgeon general of
the army, that soldiers in hospitals in
this country had not been paid
promptly, Secretary Baker believes it
possible that there are many of the
wounded and sick soldiers brought
home from France who probably have
not received their pay for several
months.
The Secretary explained that the
old pay system under which company
commanders made out pay rolls for
all the men on their company rosters
had broken down because wounded and
sick men became SO far separated from
their commands that it was impossible
for the company commanders to know
what had become Of them.
To Offset this a new system of indi-
vidual pay books was inaugurated, Mr.
Baker said, but because of the great
size of the force in France, it has not
been brought into complete operation.
The War Secretary said that on his
return from France recently, he issued
instructions that no men be embarked
from France, except with complete out
fits of clothing and with enough money
to provide them with funds for Incl
dental needs on the journey and for
some time at the hospitals in this
country.

Here Stranded

Commenting upon charges made in
Congress by Representative Mann, Re-

sands of soldiers are arriving in this
country financially stranded, due to the
failure of the government to send them
their pay, Lieutenant A. F. Anderson,
of the adjutant's Office in Debarkation
Hospital No. 3, declared yesterday that
the arriving troops are not in need
of money.
He admitted that many of the 1,7OO
men now at the hospital have not re-
ceived their regular pay for several
months, but said they had been given
casual pay before they left France or
England.
Also, he said the hospital is promptly
paying the soldiers their back pay under
an order issued by H. M. Lord, quarter
master general at Washington, which
requires all hospitals to give the men
the pay which is shown by their service
records to be due them.
"To date" said Lieutenant Ander.
son, "no man has been sent away from
this hospital without all or nearly all

Fox Writes Senate Commit
tee Plan Was to Get Prop
agandists' Money Without
Carrying Out the Scheme

WASHINGTON, Dec. Chairman
Overman, Of the Senate committee in
vestigating beer and German propa-
ganda, to-day made public a letter
from Edward Lyell Fox asserting that
the authors of scheme outlined to
German agents in this country to stir
up anti-Japanese feeling on the Pacific
Coast had no intention of carrying
out the plan. The purpose, Fox
said, "was rather to enable a third
person to swindle Captain Won Papen
tormer German military attache here)
out OIL sum OF money and then
laugh at him."
Fox is one of the newspaper corre-
spondents alleged to have been sent
to Germany by Teutonic agents in
America to send back pro- German
news to tins country Last week, A.
Bruce Bielaski, of the Department of
Justice, produced before the investi-
gazing committee communication
written by Fox and suggesting that
aaIntl-Japanesc feeling be stirred up.
Hlram Moe Greene, editor of "The H.
lustrated Sunday Magazine" was
named in the communication, and. in
ms letter to Chairman Overman, Fox
sald great injustice had been done
Greene by involving him in the matter.

that great injustice was done him by

A letter from E. c. Richardson. of
Princeton University, whose name was
contained in the "important list" of
names taken from papers of DR.. f. R.
