Gsmbrell, who is Falls personal
physician, said he telegraphed the
recommendation on his own initiative
after talking to the former Secretary.
Fall, who is in i'll health, expressed no
objection TO the suggestion, the physi-
clan explained.
Hogan had requested Gambrell to
inform Fall Of a decision today of JUS

Supreme Court, who refused to suspend
a years jail sentence, imposed for the
acceptance of bride.

DENMARK APPEALS

plant against the Norwegian occupa-
ton of Eastern Greenland was adj

At the same time the Danish repre-

telegraphed today to Lauge Koch,

planted the Norwegian nag on the
territory in question, already had
effected q break between the two coun-
tires.
Public feeling here was intense today.
There was much press comment that
the government had been too friendly
and too easy in the controversy.
Position Is Defended.
It was pointed out that Denmark had
not considered her sovereignty cues
toned until recently and that Nor
wegian traders always had been treated
in a friendly fashion and had been
given every facility in Greenland.
1t was learned that the line 10 De
taken before The Hague tribunal by the
Danes is that Norway in 1921 relln-
pushed all claims and that the agree
ment in 1924 which gave Norwegian
hunters and sealers access to Eastern
Greenland was tantamcunt to NOR
wegian recognition of Danish sover-
eighty there.
Denmark, it is argued here, has done
extensive surveying and mapping IN
Greenland since 1880 and established
Eskimo colonies as far back as 1888.

About 100 localities in Africa and South

Even where there have been no cases

is no certainty that the virus has dis

region. However, no human case has
been reported in Brazil and there Is
no indication of the disease among the

In some mysterious way the disease

due to crowding and unfavorable feed

A little light was thrown on cancer
by the discovery Of o peculiar type OF
malignant tumor which appears on the
heals Of certain African natives. This
part of the body of the black race is

has been found which apparently is

occur.
From Japan new process for purify
ing small pox vaccine was reported
which may have far-reaching results
in eliminating bad effects which some
