In the World War the American
Expeditionary Forces In France had
death rate from gas gangrene,
according to the surgeon generals
office, Of 1852 per cent.
Promising results have been OBJ
tanned recently by treating gas gan
creme patients with a specific bacil-
larry antitoxin. Many physicians
believe the best method is surgical
removal of torn and crushed muscles
and foreign matter.
The latest treatments, still in ex-
perimental stages, are X-ray and
sulfanilamide.
Another step in preventive medi-
cine is active immunization against
tetanus or "lock-jaw
France was one of the first to take
advantage of a preventive serum "a
toxoid like that used to prevent
diptheria) which was developed re-
Gently. Starting as early as August,
1896, every soldier in the French
Army was immunized against te-
tanus with this substance, the A. M
A. journal said.
Antitoxin Given Before.
During the World War the only
preventive treatment available was
passive immunity" by antitoxin
given after-not before-receiving a
wound.
Medicine has gained greater con-
troll of the communicable diseases,
particularly influenza and pneu-
monia, sometimes called the chief
captains of the men of death"
During the war, 23,359 United
States soldiers died in this country
and Europe from flu, according to
the surgeon generals statistics.
There were l8,040 deaths from pneu-
monia, which found exposed and
| eXhaused soldiers an easy prey.
The number of American soldiers
killed in action was 36,694 and 49,
691 died in hospitals from battle in
juries.
Since the war, the cause of in
f1uenza-a virus-has been located.
Scientists recently found the hu-
man virus in hogs and earthWorms
and appear to be on the threshold
of discovering how a "fu" epidemic
itself starts.
But it remains uncertain, doctors
point out, whether vaccinations
would be effective in another flu epi-
demic.
Sulfapyridine, derivative of sui
fanilamide, has brought remarkable
results in clearing up pneumonia the
most serious acute disease. Doctors
expect reduction in fatalities.
Better also is the medical defense
against miningitis, epidemic disease
which killed 1,737 soldiers, mostly in
Army camps. A more effective
serum has been developed. and sui
fanilamide already has definitely re-
duced the mortality.
Venereal Disease Methods.
The effect of sulfanilamide and
other newer methods of treating
venereal diseases is expected to
shorten greatly this cause of dis

Cuba Expecting War
To Bring Prosperity
From Sugar Sales
Another Dance of
Millions Not Wanted
Publisher Says
By CARLOS ]. VIDELA.

NEW YORK, Sept. (NAN.A).
With Europe plunged into war,
Cuba expects to reap golden har-
vest in greater sales and higher
prices for sugar and enlarged mar
kets for tobacco, while at the same
time this probable prosperity will
avert any likelihood of political up
heaval, according to DR.. Jose I.
Rivero, an influential Cuban leader
and publisher of the foremost news
paper in that country
DR.. Rivero was interviewed at his
New York hotel on one of his peri
odic visits to the United States
The Diario de La Marina, which
his family has published for genera
tions, has long been at the fore
front of Latin American journalism,
and 1t shapes to a large degree
the policies of the Havana gov
ernment.
For the last two years." he said,
Scuba has been going through a
period of depression, due to low
sugar quotations, the loss of import
ant tobacco markets such as Spain,
and the curtailment of tobacco
sales in the United States owing to
certain customs regulations. Both
American and Cuban capital,
alarmed by the activities of extrem-
ist groups, have withdrawn their
support from business and made
things worse.
Wants V9r;cac YHy;+b;o Dooeor
Nov, however, if, as is highly
probable, the present European war
lifts sugar quotations to a reason
ably high level and this comedies
with prudent government policy,
all of Cuba will benefit. But it is
important that the quotations don't
jump too high, or We'll have an
other dance of the Millions as
after the last war, with a sudden
orgy of riches and then a plunge
into despair"
Asked about rumors of an i'm
pending revolution in Cuba, where
elections for a constituent assem-
bly, are to be held shortly, DR.. Ri
vero answered, Il don't think any
thing of the kind will happen. I
believe there will be enough guar
antees of free poll. Col. Batista,
who apparently will be candidate
for President after the constituent
elections. is backed by large Sec
tions of the country and he does not
have to try to seize power through
fraud or violence. On the other
hand, none of the opponents, in my
opinion, would take up arms to de-
prive Col. Batista of legally
earned victory"
1t was suggested to DR.. Rivero
that the Washington State Depart
ment, according to rumor here, ex-
erts more or less pressure on the
Havana government.
Feels No Pressure Is Exerted.
Il sincerely believe" he replied,
that the United States State De-
partment does not exert the least
pressure in Cuba. despite all that
may be said here to the contrary"
An error commonly made in this
country, according to DR.. Rivero, is
to think that Col. Batista is die
tator."
There is no 'Batista regime in
Cuba" he affirmed. The three
branches of the present government
are functioning in accordance with
the present constitution. What COL
Batista did after the fall of Dicta-
tor Machado was insure the rule of
the three government branches by
imposing order and preventing
chaos. That's all, and that is the
simple truth"

Fair InstoIIs Garlic
As Kinq for Month

MARSEILLES, Sept. 9-One Of
the most interesting events here is
the garlic fair, when garlic is king
for an entire month.
The market is held along one Of
the citys avenues, and for it mer-
chants hang up thousands of long
strings of this cousin of the onion.
twenty-five to fifty or even a hum
dred cloves of garlic are strung on
each string, and during the month
of the fair about 100 tons of the
vegetable are sold. According to
many Marseillais. garlic has curative
properties and it is therefore often
used by them as medicine for cer-
tain diseases.
