TYPHOID INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ARMY EXPLAINED
Gen. March Cites Figures Showing
Success in Handling Diseases
Among Soldiers.

Gen. March said today the purpose
of the circular of instruction issued
by the chEef medical officer Of the
expeditionary force ordering greater
precautions against typhoid fever was
to impress upon medical officers that
ordinary sanitary precautions must
not be abandoned because men had
been inoculated, and did not mean
that the Army had failed to curb the
disease.
The circular, made public yesterday
by the public health service in con-
nection with a warning against belief
in infallibility of typhoid vaccine.
charged that many officers had been
guilty Of negligence and carelessness.
To demonstrate that the handling
of the typhoid and typhus prevention
was efficient Gen. March pointed out that
the hospital admission rate for typhoid
fever during 1918 was 1856. as against
a Spanish war rate Of $500 men per
thousand. The highest death rate
ever reached for this disease in the
American expeditionary forces in
France, he added, was 3.94 on Febru-
ary s, 1919, one twenty-fifth of the
Spanish war rate.
The total number Of deaths in the
American Army in France from ty-
phoid fever was 30, or at about one
third of the death rate from this dis
ease in civil life.

Mexico City within the last few days
were interpreted as clearly indicat-
ing a sudden change in sentiment in
the republic toward foreign invest
ments in Mexico. and that the COM
ing session of Congress will clear the
atmosphere of much of the hostility
shown since the adoption of the 1917
constitution. Diplomatic circles and
officials of the state Department are
much interested in this apparent
change Of front, as manifested in
newspaper editorials and in state
ments by members of the Mexican
congress which have been telegraph
ed here.
The American oil interests in Mex
leo, it was learned. have not receded
from the stand originally taken that
their vested rights in Mexico must be
recognized and that the anti-forefgn
and confiscatory features of the new
constitution must not operate. ex post
facto, against them. Nor have they
shown any inclination to waive the
rights in property which were pur-
chased under the existing laws of
Mexico, but which were jeopardized
BY the new constitution. The Ameri-
can. British and French governments
have protested to the Mexican govern
ment against the operation Of certain
parts Of the constitution which were
termed 'conf1scatory."
