AMERICAN VOL UNTEERS
TO AID JACKSON POOR

JACKSON, Tenn, Dec. 16. (Spl.)--
Capt, d. @. Coy, Of the Volunteers of
America, began thorough canvass OF
the city this morning to search for all
families in destitute circumstances, with
a view of providing substantial Christ
mas dinner for the INDECENT but deserv-
ing mothers and children Of the city
with a part of the funds raised in the
recent V. Of A., campaign, in which
more than $500 was raised to pur-
chase the local charity home and pro-
vide for the needed charity relief work
within the city. A number of the fra
ternal orders and charity organizations
are cooperating with Capt, Coy to
prevent duplication Of charity work
and promote the relief activities on
systematic basis. 1t Is the policy of
the Volunteers of America to make
thorough investigation of every appeal
made for charity and if the case Is
found worthy of assistance from the
charity fund to afford relief In COM
Portable and substantial manner.
Capt. Coy asks that the pastors,
church organizations, parent-teacher
associations and all other organizations
or individuals in the city who know Of
deserving poor families to notify the
charity home that the proper provisions
might be made for them. The Volun-
teers Of America are exceedingly anx-
ious that none of Jackson's poor be
overlooked in the city-wide movement
to carry a bit of cheer into the lives OF
these unfortunate people at Christmas
time.

General March Defends
Army Fever Record
Says Warning Was Issued Only
to Prevent Laxity of Dis
cipline in A. T.. T.

WASHINGTON, April 5-General
March said to-day the purpose of the
circular of instruction issued by the
chief medical officer of the expedition
airy force, ordering greater precautions
against typhoid fever was to impress
upon medical officers that ordinary san
itary precautions must not be aban-
doned, because men had been innocu-
lated, 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 infallbility Of typhoid vaccine,
charged that many officers had been
guilty of negligence and carelessness.
To demonstrate that the hadling Of
the typhoid and typhus prevention was
efficient, General March pointed out
that the hospital admission rate for
typhoid fever during 1918 was 1856 as
against a Spanish War rate of $500
men a thousand. The highest death
rate ever reached for this disease in
the American Expeditionary Forces in
France, he added, was 3.94 on Febru-
airy 6, 1919, onetwcnty of the
Spanish War rate.
The total number Of deaths in the
American army in France from typhoid
fever was ninety, or at about one-third
Of the death rate from this disease in
civil life.
