Large Percentage Are syphiIltic.

Examinations Of blood and cerebral
spinal fluid OF 10000 people in Wis.
consin from July. 1915. TO June. 1919.
have shown that over % per cent were
actively syphlitic.
Such IS the startling statement
made In a report printed In the legls-
lative journal in response to an as
scmbly resolution asking for the in
formation from the state board of
control and made by Or. w. f. Lo.
REM, director of the Wisconsin psy-
chiatric institute The resolution
called for information, as to lnvestiga-
lions made by the institute during the
last five years relative to social dis
eases and their bearing upon insanity
and feeble-mindedness
The resolution was an aftermath 10
the charges made In the report of the
legislative visiting committees lnves-
tigatOn Of state penal and charitable
institutions. Doctor Lorenzo Mt the
conclusion of his report recommends
that commission be appointed ito
carefully consider the conditions In
our state and formulate plans for re-
lief for the consideration of the next
legislature" and finally that no or
phan be adopted from any institution,
public or private until adequate exam
ination for syphilis has been made"
In his report, Doctor Lorenz states
that "of the three diseases. commonly
grouped under the term social only
syphilis has any direct relation to in
sanity and feeble mndedness. While
It was quite generally held that either
of these conditions might be attrib.
uted TO this disease, the very intimate
relationship that really exists is n
matter OF comparatively recent discoy-
cry. A delicate test known as the
Wassermann aided materially in es-
tabllshng this fact"

Called Handsome Deed"
Berlin, June "a - Bulletins 0n-
nouncing that the German fleet had
been sunk in Scapa Flow arrived too
late for the morning editions Of the
Berlin papers, and the people we're
given their first information through
noon editions. In a more suspicious
political situation the news might
have caused an Outburst Of enthusi-
assn, but the public was not moved
TO demonstration. The admiralty has
received nothing beyond a brief bull
letin which came by way of Holland. I
May Have to Pay in Cash.
Commenting upon the sinking of the
fleet the Berlin Gazette says that it
was perhaps a deed Of folly, as Ger
many might have been able 10 force
an indemnity for the surrender of the
warships.
Nevertheless" it continues, 'it was
n handsome deed"
The, Neue Gazette says:
THE officers and men who per-
formed this deed may be forgiven.
They acted in the spirit in which they
were trained On the other hand, if
their action carries with 1t injurious
results for Germany it must be regret
ted, for Germany is hardly in po-
Sition to indulge In the luxury of he
role poses, and the brief satisfaction
of appearing before the world in this
Bengal illumination may have to be
paid for in cash"

The main force of the British fleet
was absent exercising at sea when the
German ships were sunk, only some
drifters, small warshlps and patrolling

he issued an order to sink the ships,
the Daily Mail adds, and did so be-

RAILWAY MEN JOIN
LABOR FEDERATION
Increases the Membership of the
Organization 100000.
DEMANDS A 44-H0UR WEEK
Concession Would Include Workers in
All Crafts Throughout the United
States-Move Is Intended to
Prevent Unemployment

Atlantic City, n. j., June 24.-The
American Federation of Labor at the
closing session here of its annual con-
venti0n pledged itself TO obtain a gen.
eral 44-hour week for workers in all
crafts tn 'Jughout the United States
and for employees in the government
service.
The demand was based on q deter
mination to prevent unemployment
which the delegates declared IS one Of
the two primary causes of industrial
unrest.
The other cause is the decreased
purchasing power of the dollar. Manu-
facturers and employers were urged to
bridge the gap" and Increase wages
without thy controversy"
Means 100000 Members.
Samuel Gompers, president of The
federation. was greeted with a roa. of
cheers late in the day when he an
nounced from the platform that three
of the four great railroad brotherhoods
the engineers, conductors and train
lneh-had applied for charters in the
federation.
The fourth brotherhod-the fromen
WIS meeting in Denver, he said, TO
consider similar application. If the
tirenen followed the example of the
ether fvotherhoods, the ranks of the
federation will be increased by 100000
m Il.
Delegates We're of the opinion that
with the entry of the brotherhoods the
federation will back the demand of
the railway men for government own
ership and control of the roads. This
subject has been referred to the execu-
tive council with instructions to formu-
late policy.
The convention pledged it's support
to the striking commercial telegraph
operators and appointed a committee
to confer with Postmaster General
Burleson in the hope of obtaining for
the telegraphers the same concessions
which have been granted to electrical
and telephone workers.
A resolution was adopted requesting
congress to investigate the alleged sup
preston of free speech and other
American institutions in western Penn
sylvania, while another resolution Sc
verely criticized municipal officials in
Toledo for employing discharged sol
diers in uniform to perform civil pO-
lice duty in strike!
Won't lndorse Prohibition.
The convention turned down reso-
luton introduced by Seattle delegates
which would have put the American
Federation of Labor on record as be-
ing I'm favor of prohibition.
The convention also adopted reso-
luton changing the A. F. of L. consti-
tuition so as to permit disciplinary ac-
tons against unions which show radi-
cal tendencies. The executive council
is authorized TO revoke the charter of
any central union or body of delegates
which calls a strike or attempts to
take a strike vote which would, if sue
cessful, cause a walkout of affiliated
bodies.
Another resolution denounced de
plorable conditions" in the railway
mail service and asked that congress
pass laws providing for a standard
day for railway mail clerks.
