The disease is caused by a filter

tains it's ability to cause disease even
after being strained through a por-
celain filter.
This is the second virus disease

lowed to develop for four months
completely disappeared within 18
days after the administration of sui
fanilamide was begun. Other pa
tients returned to their jobs in from
9 to q days and showed no recur-
renee of the tumors.
I'm all cases so treated there has
been prompt decrease in the size
of the involved glands, beginning

the Chinese armies withdrew, but evil
IDENTIFY not in order to escape the
fury of. the invaders-rather to Sc
duce them still farther inland; it is
expected that they will make stand
before Hankow, the temporary Chi
nese capital, ready to meet the Japan
csc in what may develop into battle
that will determine the final outcome
of the war.
Generally, the opinion spreads that
China, not yet beaten, has pretty fair
prospects of winning the war; its
resistance has been magnificent and
battling and-at the same time the
japanese treasury is being depleted;
the invasion of China appears to be
the costliest military adventure the
Japanese have ever in all their history
attempted.
Spanish See-Saw.
About the Spanish civil war there
is not yet much to say; all the fight
ing still seems to be concentrated in
the northeastern part of the coun-
try-along the Mediterranean coast
and tickle Lady Luck smiles now at
the rebels, now at the loyalists; the
fighting of the last few weeks has
not altered the situation.
Today the non-intervention COM
mittee-an international body which
has conducted more than one hundred
meetings-will again gather in Lon
don to stop and prevent" foreign
Intervention in the Spanish war. The
utter inaction of this committee has
made it the laughing stock of the
world, and for sheer ineffectiveness
it takes its inglorious place alongside
the League of Nations.
