SLEEPING SICKNESS.
MAY Be NEW TYPE.
Physicians Find Three Sig
nificant Differences From
Old Disease.
The sleeping sickness epidemic in st
Louis may be a new kind Of disease

The sleeping sickness epidemic in st.
Louis may be a new kind Of disease,
As Public Health Service doctors,
three of whom have voluntarily sub
jected themselves to infection, take
stock of their findings during the
past month, at least three significant
differences from the old encephalitiS
lethargica stand out.
First, the death rate increases rapidly
for victims over 40, while children sell
dom are taken. sick and almost in
variably get well. In other encephalitis
epidemics children have been the hard
cts hit.
Second, up to the present there have
been no after effects. In the more ia
miliar form of the disease these have
been an outstanding characteristic. Now
recovery seems complete. 1t is planned
to watch the st. Louis cases carefully
for about two years for the appearance
of after effects. Formerly they have
appeared very rapidly.
Cortex Is Much Involved.
Third, whereas the old form was
marked by an Inflammation OF the
basal ganglia Of the brain, with very
little involvement OF the cerebral cortsx'
this form shows exactly the reverse. The
cortex is much involved and the ganglta
very little.
Public Health Service workers are al
most. but not entirely, convinced that
the virus is not spread by mosquitoes,
as was first believed. None Of the three
Washington doctors who allowed them
selves to be bitten by mosquitoes which
had first fed upon encephalitis victims,
have shown any signs of the disease.
Actually, it was explained yesterday,
all were convinced that they had been
bitten by such mosquitoes before, and
the experiment was designed to PROVIDE
a check
The Public Health doctors are turn
ing strongly to the belief that the dis
ease is spread by healthy carriers" as
may be the case with diphtheria and
typhoid fever.
Carried to Other Cities.
They have collected several instances
where persons in good health have gone
from ephalitis-infected households
in St Louis to other cities. followed by
an immediate outbreak of the disease
in the households where they were
visiting. There is also increasing evil
dence that there are great. number Of
mild cases which recover without treat
ment and are never reported. These
probably give a high degree Of resist
snce to any future infection.
Thus. one of the Public Health doc
tors, returning from st. Louis to Wash
lngton for conference. was taken vio-
lently sick on the train with nausea,
vomiting and splitting headache, early
symptoms of encephalltis. But by the
time he reached Washington, he had
entirely recovered. He is convinced that
he had the disease for a few hours.
Although it differs from the old sleep
ing sickness in so many ways. the Pub
lie Health doctors are still very doubt
full about putting the Midwest outbreak
in the new disease" category. 1t may
be. they say, the work Of the same virus
in somewhat aberrant form. Maladies
effecting the central nervous system
have striking tendency to appear from
time to time with different syndromes.

New State of ManchukuO to Remain
In Spite of Opposition of World Opinion

that line is purchased by Manchukuo
with Japanese money! it will be reha-
bilitated under SMR direction.
The third faction prominent in Nam
churtan affairs Is the foreign Office
group. This is composed largely of young,
patriotic and enthusiastic Japanese. To-
gether with some Of the young officers
in the army they are sincere in their ef-
forts to make Manchukuo Paradise
on Earth" Some of them even place the
well being and advancement Of Man
chukuo above that Of Japan. One even
referred to the present situation as COM
parable to the original thirteen Amerl-
can colonies and England. Manchukuo
of tomorrow, is in his mind the United
States Of today; Japan, tomorrow, Is
Great Britain Of today. Installed as
advisors" to the Chinese officials,
these young enthusiasts are caught be-
tween two wheels-the military die
tators and their native rubber stamps"
whose sole interest Is dominated by
desire to squeeze. Squeeze" in Chinese,
is unbridled polititaI graft in American.
That the Japanese occupation Of
Manchuria has been for the material
advantage Of the population as a whole
goes without saying. Everywhere health
conditions and sanitation have i'm
proved. The fact that the army had
to take drastic measures for its own
protection does not detract from its
credit. Down in Cheng-teh and Chin

Strange to say" the department
added, "the brewing industry Of Ba-

The rate of beer barrel production
in Bavaria at present, the consul's re-

amount of Polish and Russian oak

German oak supplies are short.
According to Consul Longyear, an
American buyer recently reported to the
Munich consulate that he was unable
to obtain promises for delivery under
three months from any of the beer bar

which he had visited.
The department said that the latest
port Of beer barrels into the United

in that month Of IS, ,480 barrels, OF
which $4,000 came from Germany. Dur

TRENTON, N. j., August 12-Ray-

militarist, who now denounces bitterly
the war lords" whose cause he for
merly espoused.
A few Of the younger Chinese odlcials,
who are cooperating with the Japan
ese in seeking to solidify the Manchu-
kuo government, are serious and sin
cere. They have no love for the jap
anese, but they would like to see Man
churia peaceful and prosperous. They
realize that law and order and decent
government under the Changs, or any
of their old henchmen, were impossi-
bilities They also are not at all GER
tain that their new overlords will not
be as grasping-although In q different
way. The japanese have not been slow
to establish state monopolies In all key
industries. Since they are the state, at
are all for their own good. The open
door Is virtually myth. Oil, motor
cars and tobacco are the only imports
which have an even break with Japan
ese goods-because they are non-com-
petitive. A great amount Of capital will
be needed however, to place the coun-
try on a wealth-producing basis. The
japanese have invested more than a
billion dollars in Manchuria. They are
pouring money into the country at the
rate of tens of millions Of yen monthly.
The maintenance Of the Kwantung
army in Manchuria alone costs more
than 100000 yen per month per di-
vision According to Gen. Koiso, chief
of staff, he needs more men and money
to do his job properly. Toxic, at the
moment, is not favorably disposed to
the increase Unless foreign capital
can be coaxed into Manchukuo prog
ress and development will be slow. The
only foreign country to extend credit
thus far Is France. But the French are
keeping their revolving credit sub-rosa
because Of the League of Nations reso-
luton. 1t would be embarrassing for
the French foreign office If 1t were gen.
orally known that they were playing
both ends against the middle" In the
Orient-politically and commercially
Japan is near the limit OF her re-
sources.
Coordination Lacking.
Another important factor facing the
japanese in their administration Il
lack of coordination. There are three
factions among the Jananese in Man
churia. The most powerful group i!
the army, at least outwardly. Military
law exists almost everywhere. Wha'
general headquarters says, goes. In K1r.
in. Tsitsihar, Cheng-teh, Chinchou anc
even in the capital, Hsinking, and Muk-
den, the military authorities have the
last word.
The unseen hand" however, which
gives broad instructions to the mill
tarists apparently is the South Man
churian Railway. The "SMR" Is SO pei
cent japanese government-owned.1 1t !!
a kind OF Hudson Bay Co. or East India
Co.. and is a government within itself
1t was to protect the "SMR's" Interests
that the Kwantung army overran the
three provinces-at least in the begin
ming. The South Manchurian Railway
now has taken over the direction OF al
the former Chinese-owned and operated
railways in Manchuria. 1t has virtually
put the Soviet-Chinese Chinese East
