TYPHOID ALLEGATIONS
SURPRISE DIR. NORRIS
Vaccination Not Absolute I'm.
munity as Army Men Be-
lieved, Colonel Here Says

Surprise was expressed over charges
concerning typhoid fever in the Amerl-
can Expeditionary Forces today by Col
onel George w. Norris, noted medical
authority
He was consultant on General Persh-
ing's staff during the war. The charges
are contained in bulletin issued by the
public health service In Washington.
Colonel Norris spent eighteen months
In France, remaining there until after
the armistice was signed. He went
over, with the rank Of major, as medl-
cal officer of the Pennsylvania Hospi-
tai Base Unit No. 10. Later he was
called to army headquarters and attach
ed TO the staff as consultant.
My experience did not lead me to
believe that there was a large amount
OF typhoid in the army" said Colonel
Norris
The report says that typhoid was
heavy after Chateau-Thierry. ] was
not there, but talked to various men
who were. All are agreed that the filth
and flies were terrible. These condi-
tions could not be aSoided and perhaps
in part explain the spread OF typhoid.
Il cannot say from my own observa-
tion that there was carelessness on the
part of the medical men. OF course
there may have been individual instances
of carelessness, and i have no doub'
there were.
II saw more cases of typhoid in tn,
British than in the American army. Thi'
is explainable because. vaccination wal
merely optional with the British, whil
1t was compulsory with US.
| ''The army's experience on the Mexi
! can border led medical men to believ
that vaccination gave a large degree o
| immunity from the disease, SO large
degree of immunity that it would re
quire a very virulent infection. such a
from a badly polluted well, to give
man the disease. Every one recognizes
however, that the immunity given b
typhoid vaccine is not absolute in tn
sense that smallpox vaccination i'm
munity is absolute"
The report issued by the public healt
service ascribed to the surgeon genera
of the expeditionary force the charg
that there had been many epidernics o
typhoid and paratypnoid among tn
troops especially in the last months c
the war, and that medical officers ha
been grossly careless in preventing tn
development and spread of the disease.

BURGLARSREVEL
IN LEWIS HOME
Residence of Army Officer
Looted During Family's
Absence
RARE SILVER STOLEN

Thieves stole $1,000 worth of clothing,
silver, table linens and fine liquors from
the home of Mrs. David Lewis, &c South
Twenty second street, while the house
was closed during Major David Lewis's
absence in the army.
The theft was discovered by Mrs.
Lewis Thursday, when she went to her
home to show a friend through It,.
While Major Lewis was away the house
was closed and Mrs. Lewis was living
at the Lincoln Apartments, Thirteenth
and Locust streets. Major Lewis has
just returned from the service in the
army
So far no arrests have been made The
theft was reported to the police late
Thursday. Mrs. Lewis waited several
hours after discovering it in an effort to
get in touch with her husband before
she called in the police.
The thieves left the house in state
of great confusion. They evidently took
their time about the robbery; going into
every room. and searching every possible
hiding place for valuabes.
Mrs. Lewis found the contents of
bureau drawers scattered over the floors
of the bedrooms trunks forced open
and clothing strewn everywhere; even a
phonograph smashed in the search for
valuables.
Among the articles taken were a
number of pieces of Sheffield silver, Mrs.
Lewis's whole collection. Other large
and small pieces of silverware were
stolen.
Two overcoats, three suits of clothes
and half a dozen pairs of shoes were
carried off by the thieves. From the
linen closet they took fine table linen,
tablecloths and napkins. The wine
closet was broken open and a quantity
| of fine liquors taken.
, There was nothing to indicate when
| the theft took place. Apparently the
| thieves had forced their way into the
house by prying open a shutter in the
back Kitchen.

The Meaning Of Literature.

When We treat English authors as
mere entertainers whose business it is
to provide elegant amusement for our
idle hours we are guilty Of miscon.
ception as 10 the meaning Of literature
which is denounced specifically or i'm
picitly by every great critic in our
language, and which Is certain TO pre-
vent all or almost all the possible
good results of our study. The an
swer is TO get entirely away from that
theory Of literature and to realize that
the poets and novelists and essayists
are mon who are trying to unity and
explain life to US and 10 give US the
zest for 1t which their divine vision
has brought TO them. We must face
literature squarely, recognize in II
record OF the meaning of our civiliza-
ton, and, without confusing il for
moment with it's historical and SOCIAL
and philosophical bearings. Finally,
IN order to give our students any love
Of literature which will be more seri.
