LONDON, December _ 31.— Dr. Henry Spahlinger, noted Swiss bac- teriologist, was deluged with hyper- virulent tubercular culture: a Geneva dispatch to the Daily Ex- press, when a large flask burst while he was handling it in his laboratory Wedne The scientist was not injured, but was exhausted by two hours of sub- sequent work in disinfecting himself and the laboratory. He refused to permit his assistants to undergo the risk of sharing in this work. News of the accident comes at a time when a_controversy over the efficacy of the Spahlinger tubercu- losis treatment seems likely to be aroused, through an article contrib- uted to the medical journal, the Lancet, by Dr. Thomas Nelson, as- sistant physician at St. George’s Hos- pital, London, Observing that few, if any, accu- rate records of the cases treated by Dr. Spahlinger have thus far been published and that the only data on which to form an opinion have been in the nature of eulogies of the Spahlinger treatment, Nelson ites the records of 10 s treated in a London hospital between No- vember, 1913, and August, 1914. Six of these patients died between 1914 and 1917, Dr. Nelson declares; one died in ‘1922, two cannot be traced 'and only one was known to be liv- ing last May. “It is difficult,” he writes, “to say that any of these cases showed any improvement after the treatment. Certainly none showed marked im- provement.” The treatment was carried out by Dr. Spahlinger himself and Dr. Lin- nell, with the co-operation of the late Dr. Arthur Latham, tuberculosis expert.

STUDENTS LACK FAITH IN RESOLUTIONS’ FORCE National Conference Votes Down Expression on American Policy, ‘Without Rejecting Sentiment. Ey the Associated Pres: MILWAUKEE, Wis., December 31. —Taking the stand that resolutions are of little value, the National Stu- dent Conference last night voted down a resolution by William T. Tyler of New York University which would have placed the conference on record as “‘opposed to the imperialistic policy of the United States Government and military training in colleges and uni- veysities.” The vote came after a long discus- sion, in which speakers pointed to what they termed a growing disfavor of military training in colleges and universities, Though rejecting the resolution, the conference made it clear that it was not voting against,the resolution be- cause of any sentiment against it.
