WAR BLAME IS
PUT ON GERMANY
BY OWN PEOPLE,

BERLIN, July 2o.-The report Of
the second subcommittee of the COM
u,ittee of Investigation on President
Wilson's peace effort during the WIN
ter OF 1867, prepared by Prof. Sim
shetmer, former Socialist member of
the reichstag, draws the conclusion
that President Wilson'S action made
peace oVertures possible, but that
the German government, not availing
itself of them, instead took a stand
for unrestricted U-boat warfare.
The report, made available in full
here today, is signed by six members
of the different parties. 1t is a grave
indictment of Germanys dictators
at the time. The report shows how
the economists of Chancellor Won
did not believe unres tricted U-boat
warfare could insure Germany vic
tory. AS the gravest mistake the re-
port mentions the fact that Ameri-
cas- resources were completely I'M
derestimated.
submarines would prevent the trans
portation of American troops, IF
there were any" It further de-
Ce>'.s that the submarines failed to
t.-:scl=e sufficiently neutral ship
ping, that insufficient attention
was paid to the anti-U-boat measures
of Germany'S enemies, and, finally,
that when America entered the war
the military authorities failed to
make adeGuate provision for its
inevitable lengthy protraction.
That the German public was gross
ly misled is a further charge in the
report. The report mentions notably
DR.. Franz Won Papen's message to
General Erich Won Falkenhayn, for
mer chief of the German staff, "if
you fail to keep the United States
out you have lost the war"
Appended to the majority report
is an interesting document giving
marginal note in the former emper-
or's hand on a memorial from Ad-
miral Won Holtzendorff, then head
of the German naval general staff, In
which the latter suggested refusal
to the proposal by the American am
bassador at Vienna that, to avoid
embodiment, American ships going
to England should not be torpedoed.
The kaiser wrote: 81 agree. To be
declined. An end must be made once

Disease Stamped Out,
Pellagra Hospital at
Spartanburg to Close

SPARTANBURG, S. c., July 90
announcement was made In Spar
tanburg today that the pellagra hos
pital, which was established here by
the federal government in 1914,
along with a special investigating
commission, will be discontinued De
cember 81. This information was
given out by Surgeon Joseph Gold
berger, of the United States public
health service. According to this
official, the disease has been practi-
cally stamped out, and further re-
search and investigation is unneces-
sary.
Giving as one of the causes of
pellagra the eating of improper food.
DR.. Goldberger stated that one of
the chief reasons why the disease
has almost disappeared is the fact
that the classes in which it was for
merly so prevalent have prospered
SO in recent years that their finan-
cial condition has enabled them to
provide better food for themselves.
The theory that eating too much
corn was the principal cause Of pei
lagra has long been exploded and
the cause has been established as
the wrong combination of foods.
The work of the hospital and COM
mission recently has been to educate
people concerning proper diets as a
most effective means of preventing
the disease and recovering from it.
The work in Spartanburg has COW
cred careful research and investiga-
ton in seven of the mill villages in
the city and surrounding county. 1t
is stated that in one village in 1916
as many as 500 cases of pellagra
were found. At that time the dis
ease was believed to be most pre-
valent in this section of the south,
and for this reason, the federal com
mission was established here.
Up until the last appropriation was
made, between $4,000 and $4O,0
carrying on Of the work. The last
appropriation was for only $4,000,
and the activities of the commission
and hospital have necessarily been
curtailed for the last few months.
