London, England. Jan 26.-"Our
Beloved Girl" This IS the name BY
which Miss Kathleen Burke Is known
in many parts Of the United States.
A young English girl OF slight figure.
out gifted with unbounded energy.
Miss Burke is the daughter OF one
OF the chief officers OF the North
Western railway. Before the war be-
gan she led the life Of an ordinary
English girl OF good position, but as
soon as 1t started she threw herself
into work for our soldiers In 1915
she became attached to the Scottish
Womens hospital. and one day her
gift OF speech was discovered almost
by accident. D.. Elsie Englis was
announced to speak at Oxford, but
could not go on, and Miss Burke was
sent to take her place
In February, 1915, she was sent to
America, and spoke all over the east
ern states. She managed in a few
weeks to collect E11.OO0 for the hos
pital Coming home. she spent a few
weeks in the citadel at Verdun with
Gems. Petain and Nivelle and then re-
turned to America in November to
travel 10000 miles and make SOC
speeches, which resulted in the col
lectioh Of $4,000 for the SCOTTISH
NOmen's hospital and 1856, 900 for the
French hospitals.

il would have been the most natura
thing in the. world for US to shaks
each other by the hand and say, "Ah
no matter how quickly the Huns are
turning out their U-boats, they cant
keep pace with the toll our boys are
taking Of them"
That would appear to be not only
natural, but the only satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION, for no method Of dealing
with the U-boat can approach in eff
fectiveness the sending Of it to the
bottom without the possibility OF ever
rising again.
Built Faster Than sunk.
We know, however, that that IS not
what is happening.
If we could go on sinking five sub
marines q day, or even one a day, we
should know that we were drying up
the menace at its springs, but Lloyd
George himself told Us in August and
Sir Eric Geddes repeated the state
ment a week ago, that the Germans
are both building submarines faster
than We are sinking them and sink
ing our merchantmen faster than We
are building them.
In the face Of those assurances land
Sir Erick Geddes had, nevertheless
told US in almost the same breath that
We DESTROYED as many o boats in
August, September and October, 1917
as We did in the whole OF 1870 it
would be the sheerest folly to allow
ourselves to be unduly elated by the

the U boat down and out with in
creasing success, but am equally
certain that we are for from having
arrived at that time when we can
look upon It as a task achieved It is
simply in process Of achievement. and,
like ship that has been badly but
not fatally torpedoed, we can only be
sure Of pulling through by keeping
all hands to the pumps.
Our scientific devices not only for
lodging the U boat but for destroy
ing it have been developed enormous
" since the beginning Of the present
year-and not by any means wholly
as a result Of American cooperation.
Our hunting craft are being turned
out in ever increasing numbers, and
highly successful methods have been
devised for stalking enemy subma
rlnes with submarines Of our own
ShipbuiIding Capacity Increasing.
On top Of all the organization Of our
resources is just begin
ming to make itself felt and although
we hear much about being behind
the timetable" in turning out new
ships, we are entitled to balance this
against the fact that Germany is a
good deal more behind in her time
table for sinking them.
And, in conclusion do not forget
what America is doing. She has A
hefty batch Of destroyers over here
now.
She has Just embarked on a new
program Of these vessels that Is to
cost $3.50, 900 and to be completed
outright before the end Of 1918, and
1t represents something approaching
300 boats. On top of all this the
emergency fleet corporation has COM
Wandered 400 ships, and placed con-
tracts for 6Ss, the total carrying ca
Dacity of the 1859 vessels being a

QUEEN MARX
By PERCIVAL A. HIsLAn.

London, Eng, Jan 26.-We have
heard so many optimistic statements
about the progress Of the anti-U boat
campaign in the last two years, and
the sinking Of our merchantmen has
yet continued at such an alarming
level, that any one who fails to fol-
low the premier enthusiastically in
the famous declaration OF this week
"Of our submarine have no further
fear''-may reasonably be excused.
No question of pessimism is in
volved. but the time for slackenink
our belts and eating more has not
yet arrived. Only four days before
the first lord of the admiralty, whose
general knowledge of the position at
sea should be as complete as any
body's, earnestly begged the country
not to be uplifted or cast down by
one good OF bad week or month in

in mind when we read the prime min
ister's glad announcement that no
few than five U-boats were sunk on
a single day last week.

ourselves upon such a fact, following

ings" SO far published during the run
Of the present campaign of super
frightfulness.
But all the same we have to re-
member that the submarine is es-
sentially a weapon of surprises; that
there is just a possibility of the eff

ing washed out in the future by some
new development on the part Of the
enemy.
The experience of the past show
how necessary it is that we should
not allow ourselves to be carried away

figures or an optimistic official as

in view Of the uncertainty Of what

= that not only saves 90 lives
where 100 were formerly sacrificed,
but guarantees comparative immunity
to the entire army from the dread
scourge of typhoid fever. through a
new process Of vaccination that does

Typhoid In Army Conquered.
Through the use of antf-typhoid
vaccine. in a new form, called lipo-
vaccine. the government has reduced
the mortality among soldiers from
typhoid to one in 1O0,0 as compared
with the prewar figures OF 100 in
every 100000. In addition, the in
lection Of the germ culture does not
produce a fever in the patient nor
cause him any Inconvenience beyond
the temporary scratch of the syringe.
A short time prior to the declara-
ton OF hostilities law was passed
in France making anti-typhoid vac
cination compulsory. The vaccine
serum was usually injected in a
watery solution that infrequently
caused excruciating suffering. SWELL

contact and frequently a high fever

days and often weeks.
To be effective the serum had to
contain a culture of 1000. 00O 900 mi
crobes. whose sudden appearance in
the human system might well be cal
culated to cause distress because of
their rapid spread throughout the
veins and arteries. It was Tor this
reason that the antivacciRe was
usually administered in from two to
four injections, depending upon the
patients physical condition. Thus
