yesterday afternoon in Nichols ave-
nue. southeast. for the purpose OF
raising funds to carry on the work
Of the guild. Many good things
had been made for this affair, and
a large sum was realized.
There is rumor at the present
time that the Navy Yard Athletic
Club has applied. TO Col. Fisk. the
United States engineer officer in
charge of the reclaimed area of the
Anacostia fats, for the assignment
of a portion of this ground near the
navy yard bridge, to be used as an
athletic field.
There is ample ground there to
lay out a baseball field. and any
other fields that might be desired
and IL this Is done, 1t is expected
many athletic events of Importance
in the District will be seen at this
place. The club proposes to make
the park a permanent athletic park
for the District. and while it would
be under their supervision. II could
be used for all public athletics.
In line with this proposition, the
question Is again brought to the
front of creating a public athletic
field on part of this ground. to
be under government supervision
where public athletic events could
be held. 1t is likely some decision
will be reached in the near future

SLEEPING Germ
DEFIES DOCTORS
Public Health Service Can
not Say If European Dis
ease Has Reached u. S.

Although seventeen States report
cases OF sleeping sickness" the
United States Public Health Service
is still undecided as to whether
lethargic encephaIitis of the type
prevalent in Europe has reached the
United States.
: One hundred and eighty-three
cases Of sleeping sickness" includ-
ing fourteen deaths, has been re-
ported from widely separated sec
tions up to March %. But officials
were not certain that these figures
give a true picture of prevalence OF
the sleeping sickness" as the dis
ease is not generally reportable to
health officers.
StupOr Considered Symptom.
The diagnosis. 1t was explained. in
most cases appeared to have been
based largely on the presence Of stu
por, a condition found in many other
diseases.
In the absence OF any method OF
positively establishing a correct dag
uusis," it was stated. and especially
because Of the failure i'm this country
and abroad to find a specific germ in
these cases, the United States Public
Health Service is as yet unwilling to
accept lCthargiC enCephalitis' as a
new disease"
