true of similar deeds of other
soldiers, 710sn
I COULD relate a thousand
Il and one instances in our
military and naval history OF
Americans taking those APP
parently suicidal risks not be-
cause they wanted TO die but
because they saw a chance or
success and were not afraid to
gamble against death in taking
that chance.
l have only to remind you OF
gallant Colin Kelly to prove my
point. do not claim that
Americans generally are Drawer
than other peoples but / do
claim that. much as they love
life, our soldiers can die, If need
be. in a glory that outshines the
world.
l doubt that many Americans
have taken the tales of the sup
posed Japanese indifference to
death as arguing an extractor
midable foe. Our soldiers have
fought savage tribes that could
give the Japs cards and spades
in the matter of indifference.
The Japs have brave men and
towards in probably about the
same proportion ~as tn e r
peoples because, if they all con-
sidered death as nothing. as
some try to tell us, they might
not be backing up every time
the soldiers of the Allies get
an even break against them.

The Brighter Side

ONE idea in which I have
" never taken any stock.
though ii has been rather con-
sistently promoted by some un-
doubtedly sincere Americans. is
that the japanese care nothing
about death.
We are told that the Japa-
nese soldiers are always keyed
TO suicidal acts of valor, that
they are always willing to die
rather than surrender. that
capture by an enemy is deemed
so disgraceful that captives are
reported to their relatives as
dead and that, in general. their
disregard Of death is such as
TO make them super fighting
men.
We are told that. because of
this attitude of the japanese
soldiers toward that eventuality
from which other human beings
are inclined to shrink, the only
way they can be overcome is to
kill them. / am sure that the
Americans who have promul-
gated this theory believe it,
possibly because they have wit
messed or heard Of individual
instances tending to confirm it.
pUT, l think that, as applied to
- the japanese generally. it is
all nonsense. / think the Japa-
nese-soldiers and civilians-are
just as fearful of death as any
other peoples and this opinion
is being substantiated by stories
coming up out of the Pacific.

Better Health

THE report Of the surgeon
Il general on the epidemic Of
jaundice which affected per-
sonnet OF the armed forces from
January 10 June. 1912, is now
at hand.
Although l have had numer-
Gus inquiries, l have deferred
discussing IL until accurate in
formation was available.
The surgeon-generals report
is authoritative, accurate and
frank, but il is evident that the
cause and nature OF the epidemic
is more or less OF a mystery.
The cause OF the epidemic
was ascribed 10 the use Of
yellow fever vaccine; or 10 be
exact, Of certain lots of yellow
fever vaccine
A Ii large outbreaks were
"A associated with the admins
tFation of these lots of vaccine.

the association was known. that

Low-fying airplanes can create a
great deal of damage by strafng
troops with their machine-gun FIRE.
A vital weapon in defense against
them is the 50-caliber Anti-aircraft
machine gun which can be either
mounted or on a mobile base. Only
"a cents in War Savings Stamps
will buy one round of ammunition
for one of these guns but since thou
sands Of rounds are needed to keep
one shooting any length OF time 1t
is imperative that every dollar pos
sible be invested in War Savings
Stamps and Bonds.

who had been inoculated with
these lots would come down
with jaundice in a proportion of
cases.
But what there was in the
vaccine that caused it is un-
known.
All army, navy and public
health forces were for a time
vaccinated with serum made the
same way and no case of jaun-
dice resulted.
The serum has been subjected
10 a change in process of manu-
featuring and extensively tested.
so that all safeguards for future
vaccinations have been made.
Only troops destined for points
where there is danger of yellow
fever will be vaccinated, al least
for a time.
IT SHOULD be emphasized
Il that vaccination against
yellow fever is recognized
method Of preventing a disease
which would be far more danger
Gus than the jaundice of this
epidemic.
Jaundice is due 10 a variety of
things, one. being a destruction
of liver cells, and since yellow
fever derives its name from a
Jaundice of that sort, il was
naturally suggested at first that
these were actually cases OF yell
low fever.
But careful microscopic ex-
animation OF liver tissue made
IN autopsy of the few rare cases
OF death showed a liver destruc-
ton that was not at all like
that of yellow fever.
The official circular states
very emphatically that these
Iaundice cases were not cases
OF yellow fever.
Nor were they cases OF ordi-
nary catarrhal jaundice, some
times called Wells disease.
THEY were quite apparently
Il due TO some substance that
caused a destruction Of liver
cells.
The liver fortunately regener-
ates very rapidly and this UNI
doubtedly is what happened in
the cases that recovered.
l am sure a report emanating
from such high sources would
not have spared any one if there
had been any evidence of care
leSSnesS or avoidable bad tech
nique in the preparation of the
vaccine.
II would seem 10 be simply
an instance of extreme miSfor-
tune in carrying out a necessary
measure. .zt \N
II has given the anti4vaccina-
ton cranks an opportunity TO
howl. but the soberer reflections
Of the community will not allow
our soldiers and sailors to 60 to
countries where they will be ex-
posed to yellow fever unpro-
tected, when a tested preventive
is at hand.

body has said:
ITO love and not 10 speak OF

Women who love and do not

Is difficult to understand why
the United States government
does not construct submarine
freighters as Simon Lake sug-
gests.
The Lake undersea freighters
could carry considerable freight
and $500 soldiers.
II is said the NaZis are using
submarine freighters in the
Mediterranean. Seems most
likely as the Germans used SUBJ
marine freighters in the last
war, one of which, the Deutsch-
land. made a trip TO this coun-
try before we entered the war.
IN AN encyclopaedia published
and widely circulated in this
country in 1887 and after. there
were Is articles on the subject
of Japan.
Twenty of these were written
by Japanes propagandists.
Three were written by a Con-
gregationalist minister who was
interested in missions.
The other two were written
by American professors, one OF
whom had been dead for is
years before the article was pub
lished.
The 20 articles written by Jap
propagandists stresse the
peaceful intentions of the Japa-
nese and emphasized that the
high regard the Japs had for the
United States gave the United
States nothing to fear in way of
war.
