Chief Surgeon Charges
Gross Carelessness
(By Associated Press)

, Washington, April Charges of
gross carelessness and negligence in
preventing and controlling the spread
of typhoid and paratyphoid fevers in
the army, were made against many
medical officers serving with the
forces overseas, in circular publish
ed by the Chief Surgeon of the Amer
lean Expeditionary Forces, and made
public here today. In connection with
warnings that vaccination does not
give complete immunity from typhoid
the Chief Surgeon cited many instan.
ces where epidemics prevailed among
the troops, especially during the last
offensive on the western front, and
declares that many officers utterly
failed to grasp the significance OF
these reports and warnings due tc
false belief that vaccination gave i'm.
munity. The circular issued disclosed
that rs per cent of the troops in the
Chateau Thierry offensive were afflict
ed with diarrhoea, and that after the
Argonne offensive typhoid was report
ed from virtually all divisions.

PHILIPPINE DELEGATION
SEEK INDEPENDENCE
Secretary of War Baker Says Time
Has Come To Grant Them
Independence.
(By Associated Pressl


Washington, April A. Members of
a special mission of the PHILIPPINE les
lature are here seeking immediate in
dependence of the Islands. They werd
told today that by Secretary Baker
that he spoke President Wilson's mind
when he said he believed the time had
come to grant complete independence
if desired by the PHILIPPINE people.
The Secretary of War also said he
believed the mission could carry home
word to their people that the Amer
leans too dearly loved liberty to deny
it to others. He read letter left by
President Wilson before he went. ia
Europe, expressing hope that the mis-
sion would bring about desirable ends
set forth on a joint resolution of the
Legislature.
Francis Burton Harrison, Governor
General of the PHILIPPINES, followed
Secretary Baker with a statement o1
his experience in the Islands. Accord
ing to his statement, obstacles to in.
dependence that appeared to exist 8
few years ago, had been cleared away

Lancaster Phone Company
To Go Out of Business

An important notice addressed to
Mayor John M. Duncan, the city
Council and general public of Lancas-
ter appears in todays issue of the
Central Record stating that the Bas-
tin Telephone Company, which sup
plies the city of Lancaster with phone
service will upon reasonable and legal
notice to the city and public suspend
business as given by ]. W. Creech,
President of the company as embed-
led in the following clipping from
their public notice as follows:
Why is the Bastin Telephone Com
pany forced to quit business in Lam
caster? Becauses the Company loses
every month that it carries on busi-
mes in Lancaster. It has no franchise
to do business in this city and the
rates it is allowed to charge under the
present arrangement yields an insult
ficient income required to meet the
expenses of the Company. Labor and
materials required to conduct a tele-
phone business are very high an dthe
telephone rates which it is permitted
to charge are lower than any other
Telephone Company in the state oper-
ating under similar conditions. The
annual loss to the Company in it's
Lancaster business is very large and
will eventually bankrupt, not only
the Company, but the owners of the
stock who have constantly contribut.
led from outside sources TO the busi-
ness under the hope that some steps
would be taken by the public to giys
the Company relief. Being thus fh1
disappointed It finds no course sa4s
to discontinue business. To GsHan.
