WASHINGTON, June IGNORE
than twice as many cases Of menin-
gifts occurred in the United States
this year as last year, reports the
United States Public Health Service.
During the period from March to
April % in 1926 only 438 cases were
reported. For the same period OF
1927 there were ATT cases and dur
ing 1923 there were 1,036 cases. The
largest numbers we're reported from
the cities.
While there Is no epidemic pres
ent and has been none, except in
Africa, since the war, the League
Of Nations archaeological Report
shows definite increase in this dis
ease during the last ten years over
the period before the war.
Apparently the disease is more
prevalent in cold than warm coun-
tries Of Europe and North America,
Canada showing a higher mortality
rate than the United States, ana
Scotland, Denmark and Sweden
having higher rate than England,
Germany and the Netherlands.

HOOVER AS new .
WORLD LEADER
Change in Foreign Policy Is
Forecast From Message
to Convention.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs

BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Foreign Editor. Scripps- Howard Newspapers
WASHINGTON, June 16.-The
nomination of Herbert Hoover by
the Republican party at Kansas
City is regarded in diplomatic
circles here as the most significant
event which has taken place in the
United States since the World War.
Nominated as he was by the pasty.
regarded as 'isolationist" since 1870,
foreign observers look upon the
move as the first step in the direc-
ton of recapturing the leadership Of
the world. This leadership sponta-
neously fell to the United States the
day the armistice was signed but
was lost when Republicans and
Democrats made a political football
OF the treaty of Versailles in 1920
Alert to Situation
Not that anyone here is expecting
Hoover to lead this country into
the League of Nations or anything
like that. But he is expected to
evolve. some practicable plan where
by the United States will be able to
cooperate, in a leading capacity,
with the rest of the nations for the
betterment of all concerned.
That HooYer is keenly alive to the
moral and material benefits to be
reaped by the American people
through world leadership and un-
derstanding, appears Enthusiastically
in his message to the Kansas City
convention. Said he:
"A new era and new forces have
come into our economic life and our
setting among the nations of the
world. These forces demand of us
constant study and effort if pros
perity, peace and contentment shall
be maintained"
Expect New Policy
That this should have been the
Republican candidates very first
message to the delegates of the
party which had just nominated
him, is not lost upon observers here.
AS the pronouncement of a man
who expects to become the next
President of the United States it
is accepted as a vital part of the
nominees predetermined program
and the foundation of a new ma
tional foreign policy in the event of
his election next fall.
Foreign observers have never
ceased to assert that not only the
people of the United States, but the
world, generally lost much when
foreign policies became the political
shuttlecock of the two major
parties.

STRESSES NEED
OF S6OO,OOO TO
ERECT BRIDGES
Engineer Says Millions
Must Be Spent for
City Sewers.

Need for city bridge improve
ments costing about 100000 and q
city-wide sewer survey has been
pointed out to Mayor l.. Ert Slack's
cabinet by City Engineer A. H.
Moore.
Moore pointed out the rapid
growth of the city has made the
present sewer system inadequate,
requiring a number of improve
ments. He declared the sewers and
drains are based on a survey of
Rudolph Herring of New York,
made in 1892.
Herring estimated at that time
that the city's population in 1920
would be 243,547. The actual popu-
lation was 314,0O0," Moore said.
Planning for Future
The problem has become a seri-
Gus one demanding that a survey
should be started as soon as posi-
BILE. Remedy of the situation will
cost the city millions Of dollars in
bonds or taxation.
Sewers and interceptors now be-
Ing constructed by the engineering
and sanitary departments are be-
ing designed for population Of
more than 100000 in 1880. more
than 100000 in 1910, $4,000 in 1850,
and 100000 in 1860"
The engineer said the depart
ment is working on plans to serve
the Pogues Run and Thirty Eighth
st. districts, northeast Of the city,
Which should have been served
with sewers years ago."
Proposed Extensions
These extensions are proposed by
Moore:
Extension Of Pogues Run inter
ceptor, from Rural st. to Denny st
Pogues Run interceptor relief
sewer, from Washington st. and
Liberty st. to North and Dormar
SITS.
Ralston Ave. and Thirty Fourth
st. interceptor.
1t is contemplated to make thu
Improvements through the city san
itary district by issuance of $l34,,
400 bonds.
Pleasant Run main interceptol
sewer costing $685., 900, Forty -Seconc
and Forty-Sixth st. main sewer.
are under construction. English
Ave. sewer is being delayed by liti.
cation.
May Change Fall Creek
Moore recommended immediate
replacement of the Indiana Ave
bridge over Fall Greek and chang.
ing Of the course Of the stream. Ne.
gotiations are under way with tn,
Indianapolis Water Company to ac-
quire needed land. 1t is contem-
plated that a 100000 bond issue
under the flood prevention act will
be requested.
Opening Of Langsdale Ave. al
Twenty-First st. to give the north
west part Of the city an outlet tc
the east is contemplated making
necessary the replacement of the
present inadequate bridge over Fall
Creek, costing about $150,0OO. A
new span over the canal at Twenty
First st. costing $4,000 is planned
Other bridge projects:
Repair Of Thirtieth and Central
Ave. bridges, $4,000; new bridge
at canal and Eleventh, $4,000; new
Shelby st. bridge over Pleasant Run
to cost $4,000; repair of w. New
York st. bridge over White River

REV. C0SM0 lang
HEAD OF Church
Approved by King George Y. as
Archbishop Of Canterbury

London. July IS, (UP)-A pre-.
late who gained renown through hi:
reform campaigns today had beer
approved by King George as the
archbishop OF Canterbury-the &c.
cleslastical head of the Church o,
England.
Tie Most Rev Cosmo Lang
archbishop of New York, was ap.
proved today by King George ia
succeed the Rt. Rev. Randall
Thomas Davidson as head of the
church. The former archbishop re.
signed this week, asking that his
resignation become effective No
'ember 12-his golden wedding an
niversary.
1t was considered likely that DIR.
Guy Warman, bishop of Chelms-
ford, would be appointed archbish-
op Of New York.
Born In 1864
The new archbishop of Canter-
bury--born October 80, 1s64-de-
sired TO become a lawyer rather
than a churchman when he started
his education. He was the son of a
minister and was educated at Gias-
gov University and later at Balliol
College, Oxford. Then he entered
Middle Temple Bar as devil" un-
der Sir W. S. Robson. later attorney
general Of England.
On the eve of his admittance to
the bar, however. he decided
against law as a career and in 1890
was appointed Curate Of Leeds.
Three years later he became vicar
of st. Mary's church, Oxford and
later was appointed a fellow and
dean of Divinity of Magdalen Col
lege, oxford.
His first bishopric came in 1901
When he was appointed bishop of
Stepney and Canon of st. Pauls Ca
thedral. 1t was about that time he
started his advocacy of reform.
Eloqucnce known
DR.. Langs eloquence was known
and as Canon of st. Pauls his po-
sition in the church was high. New
crtheless he carried on the cam
pa1sn for reform from the pulpit
often caustically criticising his So
cially elect congregation-and also
often could be seen at nights wan
dering through the lower east end
taking his campaign to the saloons
and music halls of that district.
In 1908 Bishop Lang was offered
the position of Bishop of Montreal
but strangely enough refused. The
following year he was appointed
archbishop of York by King Ed
ward.
He was a favorite of Queen Vic
toria but often went against her
wishes and many attribute the
friendship the Queen had for DR..
Lang to his ability to cross her sug-
gestions. He was made an honorary
chaplain to Queen Victoria and
served in such a post until her
death.
FayOrs Revision
The new archbishop of Canter-
bury. like DR.. Davidson. favors the
revision of the book of common
prayer. He has not had the politi-
cal interest that DR.. Davidson show
ed through his years as head Of
the church, but often could be seen
at parliament. He aided in the two
fights that DR.. David
son made to have the prayer book
re wise -mOye1nPntS that wore VOf.
cd down by the House of Commons
and which generally We're believed
for the resignation OF
DR.. Davidson. the first archbishop
Of Canterbury ever to resign

This is the second serious erup-

stlmson made a trip to Albay
