for whom Walter Reed General
Hospital is named, was studying
the causes Of tropical fevers and it
was he who proved that the yellow

mosquitoes and that its bite caused
the disease only under certain con-
ditions. Possessed of this knowl-
edge. American sanitary engineers
have eradicated the yellow fever
from Cuba and it has since been
largely eliminated from civilized
portions Of the world. While our

Three American Federation o.
Arts exhibitions will open IL
Washington galleries early in Oc'
tober. Two Of them are premieres

University next Saturday, ane
"Children's Books of Yesterday" al
the Library Of Congress the fol.
lowing Tuesday. The Nationa
Museum will open on Saturday
an exhibition of photographs o1
Hawaii by Fritz Henle.
Old Master Drawings
Artists drawings, generally re-
garded rather casually by those
who have made them, have been
appreciated and treasured by
other artists as well as laymen
from early times. Consequently
most museums, and many private
collectors own drawings dating
back for centuries. They consider
that drawings have such virtues
as spontaneity, personal feeling
and revelations Of the respec-
tive artists techniques and ap-
proaches.
The exhibition of "Old Master
Drawings" to open at Howard
University Art Gallery, has been
assembled through the generosity
Of museums, private collectors and
art dealers. It was selected by
Winslow Ames, director of the
Springfield (Mo) Art Museum,

Providence, and Wesleyan Uni
versity. as well as Wildenstein and
Silberman Galleries, New York
City, and seven private collectors
(besides the Ameses), have sent
drawings valued up to four f.
cures each.
The show leans rather heavily
on the Italian baroque, as Mr..
Ames pointed out. OF the A
drawings, Is are Italian Q5th
through 18th centuries). eight are
French, and the remainder are di-
vided between the Flemish, Dutch.
German, Swiss. English and
American schools.
The earliest work in the COL
lection is an English drawing in
ink on vellum, of "St. John the
Baptist" dated about the end of
the 14th or early 18th century. 1t
is an unfinished illumination in
tended for a manuscript prayer
book.
Several 18th century Italian
drawings include a sheet of orna-
mental designs by Jacopo Bellini,
whose famous sketchbook was used
In his family workshop. where
such designs as these served fol

in an emergency-arrived at
Siboney the same day it set sail
and the following day the troops
were marched to the trenches, or
just in time to get in on the fight
ing. for it was this same day that
negotiations for the armistice were
completed, the final surrender TAX
ing place on July II, when, accord
ing to the diary of Capt. William
S. Hodges:
THE regiment was formed at
$50 am, and marched to the
trenches and at II o'clock the
American Flag was hoisted over
the Governors Palace at Santiago.
At the same time Capron's battery
fired the national salute of 81
guns. the troops presented arms
and the band played the national
anthem.
"After this ceremony was COM
pleted, the troops were allowed to
cheer themselves hoarse. Just be-
fore the cheering, Col. Harries
faced the regiment and, as he beat
time with his sword, the entire
regiment Joined in the singing of
MY Country 'Tis of Thee Thus
the fall of Santiago was consum-
mated. The Spanish troops were
seen marching out of town. Orders
from the President congratulat-
ing the troops were read at retreat
and companies were dismissed i'm
mediately after"
Disease Was a Menace
Fortunately for the District
contingent in Cuba, the regiment
was not called upon for much
fighting, because of the agreement
to an armistice. but they had a
much deadlier enemy there in
yellow fever and typhoid fever,
and in other diseases. and had
they remained there much longer,
