which he hopes win satisfactorily set
tie the dispute.
The decision of the Italian delega-
ton apparently brings to a head the
bitter controversy between Italy and
the new Jugo- Slav state over the dis
position OF land along the Adriatic
formerly belonging to the Austro-liun-
garian empire, which both nationalities
claim.
Itaiy's claims originally included yir-
tually the entire Dalmatlon coast, with
Trieste and F1ume, which latter city
is the second principal seaport on the
eastern side OF the Adriatic Recent
reports have been that the Italian rep
resentatiVes were manifesting dis
position to make an important conces-
sions regarding the land along the Dali
matian coast, provided that the city
and harbor of Fiume remained to Italy.
The Jugo;. ;.Slavs, however, have been
insistent that this port be allotted to
them, claiming It to be essentially a
Croatian city and necessary to the new
Jugo- -Slav state as Rffording the only
feasible, suitable sea outlet for her
commerce.
On the other hand, there has been
no disposition on the part OF Italy TO
yield her point so, far as Fiume was
concerned. Her attitude was officially
stated by Premier Orlando In address,

typhoid spreads its distinctive germs;
that is, the common type of typhoid
will not originate from typhoid
germs and the germs of typhoid
will not incubate the regular type
A strange feature Of the situation Is
that during the time that the water was
bad the health department at no time
gave out that any typhoid germ was
found in the water There were re-
ports daily of colon bacilli, but con-
slant assurance of no typhoid.
But stranger is the fact now devel-
oped that prior to the sewer break into
the water system. there. was no regu-
lar analysis Of the city drinking water.
Officials of the water department state
that they asked the administration for
two regular organizations per month,
but that they were not ordered, ana
hence there was no discovery of out
side water in the system until an en-
ploye noted more volume than he
thought ought to be there. No one
knows how long the infection was there
before that mechanical discovery.
No matter what department was re-
sponsible for lack Of daily analysis of
the city drinking water, the condition
was a most serious one for the health
Of Memphis.
Now, however, ANALYSES are made
daily at the Auction avenue plant, and
that water is pure. There is no prob
able chance of infection ever occurring
in the other pumping stations Of the
system, but there Is no regular analysis

TYPHOID FEVER HERE
DESCRIBED AS MILD

Many cases of typhoid fever reported
to the city health department are of
the type known as typhoid, which
is mild form of the malady, accord
ing to the city health department. This
fact, together with the apparent et-up
in the number of new cases reported,
leads the health officials to become OPP
timistic.
Thirty seven new cases were reported
Thursday. as against total of 40
Wednesday. Friday morning at 10 am
only four new cases were announced.
The total number reported since March
II is 144.
Now that the water supply in the
area temporarily infected by sewage IN
February has been cleared for several
weeks and the water Is pure, nothing
is left for the authorities but to isolate
the known cases of typhoid and push
the work of vaccination with anti
typhoid serum.
A total of 504 persons was vaccinated
Thursdays "a large number by <he health
department and the rest by physicians
who procured the serum from the
health department.
