TYPHUS FUND
IS Million Asked by U. S
Surgeon to Kill Disease
In Central Europe.
CBy Universal Seryice.J

New York. Aug. 25.-Col. Harry
PIotz, typhus expert and member of
the staff of the surgeon general of
the United States. just arrived here
from Poland and laid before news
papermen a plan for the raising of
a $4,000, 900 to 100000, 900 fund for
the stamping out of typhus in Cen
trail Europe.
The British government and the
medical department of the league of
nations are keenly interested in the
project and are taking action on it.
Col. Plotz will lay the plan before
the government at Washington
shortly.
Col. Plotz declared that the en-
ployment of preventive measures
on mammoth scale would effec-
lively kill the epidemic possibilities
of typhus for all time. During the
war, measures taken under the di-
rection of DIR. Plotz held the disease
in cheek.
An oxin\discovered by DR..
Plotz is still in the experimental
stage, but it has already done con-
siderable good. The measures neces-
sary according to the doctor are
sweeping sanitary improvements,
and the installment of steam baths,
such as were used during the war.

American Fleet Most Pow

UBy Universal SeryiceD

In 1888 the American naval fleet
will be the most powerful in the
world, according to a statement in
the French journal Sea and Shore"
made public by the Navy Depart
ment yesterday.
Within three years the United
States will have in her new fleet
twenty-five heavy battlcships and
ten light cruisers. The British
navy will, it is stated, have no ships
that can compare in number or
power with them.
The figures given by the French
publication were obtained, it is
stated. from the first lord of the
British admiralty. Mr.. Long.
Secretary Daniels" says the
French paper, has never concealed
his desire that England should be
deprived, of the mastery of the
seas"
Daniels" the paper states fore
seeing the possible entry of tho
United States into the European
conflict, prepared an extensive ma
val program.
THE results are that the United
States will have in 1923 4 superb

Here.
ENCOURAGES FRICTION
America Opposed to Any.
thing Which May Pro-
mote Latin Conflict.
By FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.
lPubIic iedger Seryicc.O

There is considerable interest in
Washington, not unmixed with dis
pleasure, over the activities of Great
Britain in the direction of warship
sales to South American republics.
To Chile the British government
has recently sold an entire fleet. 1t
consists Of the 2S.OOO-ton Dread
nauEht Canada, a battleship of the
most modern type, equipped with
ten 14-inch guns; two light cruisers,
four destroyers, and three mine
layers.
L. :. Refuses sale.
The United States government has
lately been asked by South Ameri-
can states to sell warships and
naval armaments OF various kinds,
but has refused. Americas atti-
tude is based on the theory that the
keynote Of our South American
policy, the Monroe Doctrine, is the
preservation Of peace among the
Latin republics. The United States,
therefore, is not disposed to do
anything. as a government, condu-

The danger Of a Peruvian Chilean
war can always be accounted a
more or less imminent possibility.
Peru is bound to take notice OF an
event like the purchase OF 4 feet Of
ten British warships by Chile, and
by dictates Of seIf-preseryatiOn TO
initiate that costly example and per-
haps outstrip il. The United States
is opposed to anything or anybody
that promotes this vicious spiral

Whatever Great Britain's motive,
her activities are not looked upon
with favor. 1t may be that ways
and meanS will be found, in some
friendly fashion, to bring our views
on the subject to the attention OF
the British government.
