TREND OF EVENTS May FORCE

MORE CONFERENCES TO COME
How Washington officials View the
Russo-German. Treaty-Some Fear
Felt That II viii Result in an OPP
presslve Alliance.
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK

Washington.-NO matter how Amer
leans feel on the subject, there seems
to be an impression In official circles
In Washington that this country later
will be compelled to enter in way
into world politics. or at least into Eu-
sropean politics. This, of course, Ia
desirable or undesirable according TO
the viewpoint, but the feeling here
seems TO be that events will force the
United States to take a position on
some of the matters now affecting the
European countries.
There was feeling, and it was
voiced In the senate, that President
Harding was leading America into the
intricacies of world politics when he
planned to put through, with the aid
of the secretary Of state, the partial
disarmament treaties and other pacts
which looked to the stabilizing of af-
fairs In the Far East. The Presidents.
predecessor in office ALSO is charged
more directly with attempting to do
the same thing. There does not seem
TO be much politics in the viewpoints.
1t is said in Washington today fire.
quently that the Safeguarding of the
interests of the United States may
compel in the future. and perhaps not
distant future, an American participa-
ton in conferences yet TO be called,
for there seems to be belief that the
Genoa conference may be succeeded
by others.
Poeticians of both parties here say
that the action of the house in over
turning the majority party's report in
favor of small navy strengthened the
position of the President as his party's
leader. The ratification by the senate
Of the treaties resulting from the re
cent international conference further.
1t is said, added TO the strength of the
Presidents position as party leader.
All is not well yet between him and
the majority in congress, but 1t seems
to be generally believed that his COM
plete leadership will be acknowledged
by the party men In the coming con-
gressi0nal campaign, ....

the government officials look on this

the Russians and the Germans, but,

HEALTH NOTES.
Typhoid Fever.

While there has not been what could
he called an epidemic of typhoid fever
in Fulton County this year, neverthe-
less there has been some eight or nine
cases with two deaths.
During the Spanish american War,
the United States had 147,195 soldiers
Of this number 20.925 contracted ty-
phoid fever and of this number 2.132
died. Thus il will be seen that l ont
of every developed typhoid fever and
/ out of every GS died.
In the recent World War. our army
consisted of 100000 soldiers; of these
1868 developed typhoid fever. resulting
in 1J6 deaths. In other words. / out OF
every 1855 developed typhoid fever,
while only l out of every 25,G41 died.
This great improvement since 1897
is due to the precautionary measure of
typhoid vaccination. Your County Health
Officer is very anxious to keep down an
epidemic of typhoid fever in this coun-
~ and urges that every once, at least
under the age of GO, secure vaccination
for typhoid fever. The necessary serum
may be procured at any drug store at
IA reasonable price and your family ply
sician will be glad to administer 1t.
