gomyia that bites and transmits the dis
ease.
With the discovery of DR.. Reed, the pre-
vention Of yellow fever resolved itself into
the simple expedent of exterminating the
mosquitoes Of the "Stegomyia" species.
Gradually it came to be realized that cpl
denies Of the pestilence could be stopped
by wiplng out these insect pests, but each
time the disease would reappear after
time. That made it apparent that some
where In the world there was q reservoir
or reservoirs from which the plague flowed
to again attack the world. Several wears
ago the international Health Board set it,
self the task of finding these foci of the
disease. The investigation developed the
fact that yellow fever is always present at
Guayaquil, on the west coast of South Amer
lea, in a region along the south shores of
the Caribbean Sea and in a strip along the
north Brazilian coast These facts were
ascertained by the health board in 1917,
and a force Of scientists under the com
mand of General Gorgas had all plans made
for the determination Of the disease at that
time. Americas entrance into the war,
however, resulted in General Gorgas's being
called into active service from which he
mas recently retired upon reaching the age
lmit), and it was decided to postpone the
campaign until the return of peace How
ever, like good soldiers, the enemy having
peen driven behind its fortiications, the
attacking forces left sentinels on guard to
prevent the disease breaking forth again
NOW, with the war in Europe ended, the
health board has decided that the time is
ripe for the final move against the "Yellow
jack as it once was widely known
Discussing the plans for the campaign,
DR.. George +. Vincent president of the
Rockefeller Foundation, said:
The cessation Of active warfare in Eu-
rope has resulted in renewal Of favorable
conditions, which permit the Rockefeller
Foundation to resume certain work which
the war temporarily halted. The Interna-
nonal health board, which is a part Of the
Rockefeller Foundation, has decided to re-
ne" at once, in cooperation with local
governments, its yellow fever work. This
cooperation is in pursuance Of the estab-
iished practice Of the foundation. which
seeks only to demonstrate modern methods
New-York tribune., 1919-01-26
An American
M ade PesfiIence

1t will be noticed that DR.. Vincent speaks
of the catastrophe that through the opeping
OF new trade routes by means of the Pan
ANA Canal would result from the appear-
ance of yellow fever in other parts of the
world-Asia, for instance. That calls at
tentlon to the fact that yellow fever ia a
strictly American pestilence, one of the
things discovered by Columbus along with
the New World. There have been numerous
and terrible outbreaks of yellow fever in
European ports, generally in Spain, but thew
nave been in ports that carried on a trade
with Central and South America Knowing
what we do now, we know that the disease
was carried to Europe by mosquitoes aboard
trading vessels.
Between 1902 and 1900 yellow fever ap-
peared in the United States no less than
thirty-hve times. In Philadelphia in 1893
one person in every ten in the city died
Between 1906 and 1879, when Keating's
book was published the fever visited the

not always in epidemic form. Mathew

New-York tribune., 1919-01-26
A Story
OF Bravery

Now one Of the most inspiring
chapters in the long history of medicine
The United States appointed a commission
to investigate the fever and find its cause
and cure. The commission was headed by
DR.. Walter Reed, whose monument is the
great Walter Reed Hospital, in Washing
ton, and DR.. James Carroll DR.. Jesse W.
Lazear and DR.. Aristides Agramonte, the
latter Cuban immune.
The commission finally decided that the
mosquito theory must be tested, and that
the only way it could be tested was for
somebody to permit himself to be bitten
by the insects that were known to be in
fected by the disease These men of
science knew just how perilous thing that
was, SO they decided that they themselves
must be the first subjects for test. DR..
Carroll offered himself first, DR.. Reed hav-
ing been called back to the United States
temporarily. DR.. Carroll was bitten by
four different insects In two davs he
showed premonitory symptoms of the fever
and was taken to the fever camp. For three
days his life hung in the balance, and he
was month In recovering. Writing of his
experience, DR.. Carroll said:
ION the 18th of September, five days
after was permitted to leave my. bed, DR.
Lazear was stricken and died in convul-
slons just one week later after several
days of delirium, with black vomit. Such
is yellow fever"
The inocuiation of DR.. Lazear was acci-
dental. He was working with yellow
fever patient, and a mosquito alighted on
his hand. He did not disturb it.
New-York tribune., 1919-01-26

to revise Y. NJ. c. A. methods completely
The ways that were good before Verdun
were utterly impractcable in the area that
has been tagged with the name of Chateau
Thierry. Men of the Red Triangle were
obliged to revise their plans from week to
week, from day to day, even from hour to
hour
1t has become the fashion recently to
criticise the Y NJ. C. A. You hear people
say that the Y. M. c. A. failed to keep in
touch with the wounded people who do
not know that, to make every workers eff
fort count and to save duplication, the Red
Cross concerned itself with the wounded
and i'll while the Y. NJ C. A. and similar
organizations worked with the whole and
well.
You hear people say that the Y. NJ C. A.
protited by its operation of canteens And
then you read the War Departments very
thorough statement on this subject and YOU
get the true facts
You hear that the Y. NJ c. A. sold gift
tobacco, and then you read the army's logi-
cal explanation of how this might very
easily occur when the gift tobacco cases
were not specially marked and the error
could not be discovered until the individual
cartons were opened-and how in every in
stance the Y NJ. c. A. refunded or gave an
equivalent amount from its own supplies
You hear some people say that Y. NJ. C. A.
men adopted a hoier- than thou attitude
and others that they did not impress re-
lgious ideas sufficiently upon the soldiers
You hear many conflicting criticisms and
if you take the trouble to investigate, you
can learn the facts.

The End
In Sight

The programme which General Goreas

international Health Board which began in
IVA The opening of the Panama Canal.
with the establishment of new trade routes
brought the danger of wide distribution
OF yellow fever. Its appearance in Asia.
Tor example, would be a catastrophe. To
secure authoritative information and coun-
sci the board appointed Yellow Fever
Commission, headed by General Gorgas.
Associated with him were DR.. Henry r
Carter of the United States Public Health
Service; DR.. Juan Guiteras, chief health
officer of Havana; Major T. C. Lyster and
Major E. r. Whitmore, of the Medical De-
partment Of the United States Armv. and
Mr.. w. d. Wrghtson.
ITO define the problem accurately. the
commission, in the spring of 1916, visited
all countries in South America in which
yellow fever had appeared In recent wears.
On its return it presented a report express
ing the opinion, in which all the members OF
the commission concurrcd, that the total
eradication OF yellow fever was feasible.
I'm January, 1917 the board adonted
working programme and appointed DR.. Cor
