Washington, April 17.-The annual report of the Surgeon-General of the United States Army contains this re- ference to typhoid fever:
 "Typhoid fever, which was the scourge of the army in the Civil War and the Spanish-American War. was one disease that showed the result of modern sanitary methods and of the effects of prophylactic vaccina- tion. The camp surgeon at Camp Shelby reports that this relatively rare disease in the army camps was introduced in this camp when there appeared four cases in July G918) and four cases in August who were either suffering from clinical ty phoid fever when they entrained or gave manifestation of the disease after being in camp only few days. He further states that among the eight cases, of proved typhoid, four cases had received no typhoid inoculation, two cases only one dose. and two had two inoculations. Third inoculations are required to com plete immunization."
 Inspeaking of diseases in general, the report states:
 Scarlet fever, diphtheria. and the humps all had higher rates during 1917-18 than during 1861-62. It was the gastrointestinal diseases and fe- vers where the great gain was shown as compared with the rates for the Civil War and the Spanish-American War. With the same admission rates for typhoid fever in 1917-18 as in 1s61-62, there would have been 2zo.. OO1 cases and 30.916 deaths. AS It was. there were 1083 cases and 15S deaths. At no time during the year was typhoid fever of any serious i'm portance except during the latter part of 1918 in France.

GIRL GOES BACK ON
FIRST STATEMENT;
FATHER Is FREED
Daughter of George Berry Repudiates
Her Statements Before Grand Jury
And Refuses To Testify
Against Father.

After the jury had been sworn to try
of incest and he had waived formal ar
raignment, the case took a most pecu-
liar turn in Circuit Court this morn
ing.
The jurors had taken their seats in
the jury box and a motion had been
made for the court stenographer to
take the notes. 1t was while the court
was awaiting the arrival of the court
stenographer that it was noticed that
District Prosecutor Grannis and Coun-
ty Attorney Rees were having quite a
discussion with Mrs. Joseph Higgins,
the chief prosecuting witness. Attor-
ney Grannis went to Judge Newell and
after whispering something to him
returned to his table and after hur-
ried conversation with County Attor-
ney Rees, made motion that the jury
be discharged and the indictment
against Berry be dismissed
Attorney Grannis explained that this
was the first instance of this sort he
had experienced since being elected
Commonwealth's Attorney. He ex-
planned to the court and the jury that
the indictment against Berry for incest
was brought solely upon the testimony
of his daughter, Mrs. Joseph Higgins,
who had claimed her own father to be
the father of her infant child. He then
said that Mrs. Higgins this morning
had renudiated her former statements
before the examining court and the
Grand Jury and now refused to testify
against her father He stated that the
girl had told him this morning that her
father was not guilty of incest and for
those reasons he asked that the jury
Re discharged and the indictment be
dismissed.
Berry will still be held under a
charge of carnally knowing female
under 16 years of age in which case
another Dover girl is the chief prose-
cutting witness. He was tried on this
charge during the last term of court
and the trial resulted in a hung jury
He is now being held. in $1,000 bond

Board Was Expected,

Captain C. n. Harrub and Lieuten-
ant A. e. German, sanitary experts of

are now working under the State
Board of Health, arrived in Maysville
this morning. They expected DR.. A. T.
Mccormack, of Bowling Green, Secre-
tary of the Kentucky State Board of
Health, to arrive here this afternoon
from Frankfort by automobile but he
failed to arrive and he was located
over long distance telephone in Louis
vile.
Although Captain Harrub.
seen by a Ledger representative
afternoon, refused to make any
ment in regard to his trip to Maysv
except that he expected to meet DR..
Mccormack here, it is supposed that
these officials of the State Health
Board came to Maysvllle for the pur-
pose of carrying out DR.. McCormack's
promise that there would be something
done within few days about the local
water situation
Captain Harrub would not say what
he expected to do about the situation
and when he learned that DR.. McCor-
mack had returned to Louisville in
stead of coming to Maysville, he
seemed greatly disappointed and stat
ed that he did not know that he would
remain in Maysville
