The End Of a Scourge

America, which gave the world a new
and terrible plague, has wiped it out,
according to word received from Major
General William G. Gorgas. Yellow
fever was unknown to the rest of the
world before Columbus discovered
America The voyagers to the new land
quickly carried the pestilcnce to their
home ports, and soon the then mysteri-
Gus disease was creating havoc in many
parts of Europe and Asia. Spain, as the
home port Of most Of the early naviga
tors to the New World, naturally suf
fercd most, and there was wave after
wave of the plague, which claimed thou
sands Of lives.
With the settlement of the colonies
the fever, always present in the tropical
sections, made periodical invasions of
the more northern latitudes. New York
and Boston suffered severely even up to
comparatively recent years. A disease
unknown until the end of the fifteenth
century had become one of the worlds
most deadly plaques
1t was the period Immediately follow
ing the close of the Spanish American
War that saw the beginning Of the end
OF yellow fever. In 1900 DR.. Walter
Reed, heading a commission of doctors.
went to Cuba to investigate, not the
cure but the cause of the plague. First
demonstrating the fallacy of the theory
that yellow fever was caused by bacilli,
they later demonstrated that the fever
was caused by the bite of certain kind
of mosquito, the stego,nyiu, which had
hrst become infected by biting an in
fected person. The experiments proved
that the disease was transmitted onlv
in this way.
Since that discovery the terrors of
yellow fever have waned rapidly. Rv
cxterminating the guilty insect, the dis
ease has been driven from stronghold
after stronghold. The final cxtermina-
ton of this plague was one Of the tasks
undertaken by the Rockefeller Founda-
ton. A commission, headed by DR..
Gorgas, had just succeeded in driving it
back into the two or three places in
South America where it was endemic.
and was preparing to move on the outer
works and extermnate the last remain
ing vcstigc Of the disease when the
Great War broke out and the cxperts
were called to more pressing campaign.
Sentries were left on guard, however.
and az soon as DR.. Gorgas was relieved
New-York tribune., 1919-10-07

aviation is an auxiliary department, like
the motor supply corps or the signal
corps. Those who think department
Of the air has become as essential as a
Navy Department point Immediately to
the tremendous waste that takes place
through duplication, control Of aviation
being vested in three government de-
partments - the naval, military and
postal. They say commercial aviation
is hindered by this duplication and by
the differences of opinion on trivial mat
ters between the three departments A
recent poll taken among flying officers
show them to be 80 per cent in favor of
a single air department. 1t is also IA
vored by all the leading manufacturers.
The most pressing need, however, is
for aerial laws. Legislation will be
matter of experience, and as a start it
would not be unwise to adopt as mini
mum for national needs the laws laid
down in the aerial convention Of the
peace treaty.

Wanted: : Air Laws

For the development Of commercial

F1rst-Laws to govern aerial naviga-
tion and air traffic.
Secomd-A department Of the air in
the national government.
The United States is the only civilized
country in the world without laws gov

Neither the public nor the aviator is
protected from the consequences of any
rash or foolhardy enterprise. Any one
may take an airplane or other aircraft
and recklessly drive it above crowded
cities TO the danger Of the inhabitants.
There is now before Congress- a bill
introduced by Senator New and Con-

in Cabinet officer as secretary of the
air. 1t does not include any specific
rules governing aerial traffic.
