ferenceS.

London, Feb. 16.-Information on
questions pending before the peace
conference was refused today by An
drew Bonar Law, the government

Mr. Bonar Laws refusal came
after Lord Robert Cecil had asked
whether it was true as reported in
the press that the Allies had aban-
doned their demands fon the sur
render of German war criminals; vine
ther it was true that note had been
received fpom the United States and
expressing dissent from the propose
of the Allies for settlement of the
Adriatic question and complaining
that the United States had not been
consulted before such proposals
were made, and whether it was true
that the Allies had decided to leave
the Turks in possession of Constanti
nople and a large part of Armenia
including Cilicia.
In reply Mr.. Boner Law said that
he must ask the House not to ex
pect an answer at present to any
questions under consideration by the

Germans to betray France This
crime brought to a head the sinister
activities of a man who had been

associated himself with an organiza-

Studying Causes of New Disease

Rome, Jan. 17.-(By Mail) =
Sleeping cickness or sleeping head
ache as the Italian scientist prefer
to call the malady, which has ap-
peared in Rome and several other
Italian cities, is believed by Profes-
sor Giuseppe Sanarelli, the distin-
guished Italian bacterioligist, to be
tne same as that which followed 9th
er waves of influenza. Pope Bene-
dict XIII died from influenza in 1880
The after effects of the epidemic
at that time was so baneful that his
successor Benedict XIV waved the
fasting of churchmen during the
Lent and similar action was taken
by Leo XIII in 1890, when there was
another wave of influenza or la
grippe.
Professor Sanarelli, who has been
studying the disease, says that the
best way to avoid sleeping sickness
is to keep the power of resistance up
to the highest point, as it seems to
attack chiefly persons who are in
run down condition. He also warns
the public not to be unduly alarmed
about the disease, and says he is un-
willing to concede it is highly com
municable or contagious until the ac-
tual cause of the malady is deter
| mined. And he does not think the
germ will be discovered until after
| extensive experimentation with the
brains of monkeys, such an expen-
sive work that it can be carried ou'
only with the aid Of the millions OF
some phi1anthropic millionaire like
John D. Rockefeller.
