1S3 Cases of Coma
 With IA Deaths in
 U. s. Are Reported
Bv Associated Press

Washington, April 5.-Although 1SS cases of lethargic encephalitis, or sleep ing sickness" with 14 deaths, were re- ported to the United States public health service up to March 2s officials of the bureau still are undecided whether the disease, of the type prevalent in Europe, has reached the United States. In a state ment tonight the bureau said it was im- possible to say whether the figures gave true picture of the prevalence of the disease, inasmuch as the disease is not generally reportable to the health officers.
 "The diagnosis in most of the cases re- ported appears to have been based largely on the presence of stupor, condition found in many other diseases" the state ment said. "In the absence of any meth cd of positively establishing a correct diagnosis and especially because of the failure thus far both in this country and abroad to find specific germ in these cases, the public health service is as yet unwilling to accept lethargic encephalitis' as a new disease"
 Surgeon General Blue has detailed quail flied medical officers to make a compre- hensive investigation in order to learn the true facts regarding the prevalence of the malady it was stated, and has re- quested state health officers to make the disease reportable so that the study of it can be facilitated
