STUDY OF PELLAGRA
New York Times)

New York Times)
/ note a number of articles in the
Times concerning pellagra. These ar
ticles are in error in that they are
misleading as to the cause, prevention
and cure of pellagra. They are fur
Their in error in that they assume to
state that there is a. difference OF
opinion as TO the cause of pellagra
and that there is still doubt as to its
real cause.
If there is a threatened recrudes-
cence of pellagra all this is exceeding
ly unfair to the people of the South,
and misleading to the medical profes-
sion who are called upon to treat
these sufferers in the South. Again
the people of the South who suffer
from pellagra are our fellow-eitizens
ard are entitled to the best and the
truth about such an affection. Every
instinct of humanity dictates that the
truth be told and that these sufferers
be relieved and their lives saved.
The true cause of pellagra was
worked out in the institute of hygiene
CT the Universit yof Rome by Profes.
sors Alessandrini and Scala. They
published the results of their work In
1913-14 The writer was their collab.
orator in Amerisa. He translated
their work and published it with the
results of his American collaboration
in 1916 For FIVE years this work ha:
been in the English language IN tbs
hands of the American profession
This research is final. It is based upoI
the very best scientific findings. Their
| is no further need to seek for the
cause and prevention of pellagra. The
treatment is a success, but it does not
preclude other methods.
Pellagra is an endemic and not ar
epidemic disease 1t is chronic aeiC
intoxication and not infectious or com.
municable in any sense 1t is not here
ditary.

on his return from Washington.
Two thousand employees in outlying
mining districts held themselves ready

here.

much after all, and IL may be safely said
it was just about as merry and happy a
Christmas as Indianapolis ever saw.
Il was 4 day marked by real Christ
mas sririt of the unselfsh, disinterested
sort, which gets its greatest pleasure
from doing things for others. Perhaps
this was due to some extent 10 the fact
that the day fell on Sunday, but far more
was it due to the genuine feeling OF
sympathy of a generous people TO those
among them less fortunate than them
selves.

BY FREDERIC william VILE.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Amer'
lea is about to propose strong
action by the conference for the pres
ervation of Russia. The United
States purpose is. to prevent the
"Chinafcation" of the old empire of
the Cars. To that end, your cor
respondent learns, Secretary Hughes
presently will move the proclamation
of that moral trusteeship' over Rus

the Far Eastern republic in Septem-
ber American action will ensue as
soon as feasible after naval affairs
are out of the way and Chinese dis
cussions have achieved further prog
ress.
at Will take the form Of a general
declaration along the lines of the four
Root resolutions which became the basis
of conference deliberations on China The
Russian policy to be urged by the United
States will have the same broad object
as the Root principles regarding China
to signal hands of" to all and sundry
who would exploit Russia's present stress
and chaos for selfish advantage. In par
ticular, the immediate purpose Of Ameri-
can policy is to secure japanese evacuu-
tion of eastern Siberia and northern
Sagahalin.
The conferences attitude toward the
one great Far Eastern power unrcpre-
sented al the Washington round table
If Secretary Hughes known views pre-
wallis certain, in general, to pursue the
following lines:
1. Recognition Of the inviolability Of
Russian territory.

rights arising from treaties such as that
which covers the Chinese eastern rail
way.
s. Proclamation Of the open door
throughout Russian territory in the Far
East. with equal opportunity for economic
activities on the part Of all nations. This
would involve invalideting Of all conces-
sions Of n monOpolistic or semi-mouopo-
listic character obtained by different In

from unrecognized Russian government S
like this Semenon regime, the Far Eastern

KY OEOhGE ~ F1OLm ESs
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-While
clearly recognizing the obstacles that
lie ahead, there was a distinct feel
ing of optimism today among lead
ers in the armament conference that
the America ncompromise program
on submarines will provide the basis
for an early agreement.
The American delegates, in bringing
forth the new program, did not antici-
pate that it would meet with instant IA
vor. nor did they expect that it would
he Immediately accepted by the powers
concerned. What they hoped for was
that it would relieve an obviously i'm
possible situation between France and
Great Britain and provide the basis for
renewed discussions which would give
promise of leading TO some definite ac-
complshment.
ENGLAND ABANDONs
FIGHT ON SUBS.
This, they believe, the new program
has already done. At any rate, one of
the American delegates said, it has
moved Great Britain to abandon her
and it has not been finally rejected by
either France or Japan.
It was emphasized that there is nothing
hard or unyieding about the new Amer
lean figures $4,000 tons for each Great
Britain and the United States. $1,000 for
each France and Japan, and 2l,000 tons
for Italy. The American delegation is
ready and willing. it was stated, TO hear
any proposals which give promise of an
earlier or more equitable settlement.
AMERICA ACTING
ONLY AS MEDIATOR.
The American role in the submarine
controversy is that Of a benevolent medi-
ator purely and simply, 1t was stated by
one Of the delegates.
There is an undercurrent of sentiment
in certain foreign quarters. notably in
the French. that the present conference
pass entirely over the question of subma-
rines and other auxiliary fighting craft,
and take it UP later at some future con-
ference. That there will be another con-
ference is regarded as a certainty and
the French believe it will be better
equipped to deal with the question than
the present one.
In other quarters notably In American.
there is opposition to such a course. the
Americans believing in that old proverb,
Never put off until tomorrow what you
can do today
A future conference, If not uncertain,
is at least many months away, and the
Americans believe the settlement Of the
auxiliary ship question in Washington is
a natural corrollary to the settlement
that already has been effected with re-
spent to capital ships.
Meanwhile the conference marked time
today TO give the French and Japanese
experts an opportunity to study the pro
posal in more detail, and perhaps to
evolve supplementary proposals.
1t was expected that during the day
replies would be received TO the urSet
cables which the French and Japanese
