LEUKEMIA TRACED BY GENERATIONS Disease “Akin to Cancer Be- | lieved Inherited, After Ex- periments on Mice. By the Associated Press. COLD SPRING HARBOR, K. Y., No- vember 27.—An inherited susceptibility to leukemia, a disease closely resem- bling and thought t6 be related to cancer, has been found at the Carnegie Institu- tion here. Leukemia is caused by outlaw white blood cells, which are formed in enor- mous numbers; they circulate in the blood and concentrate in tumors in dif- ferent organs, especially in the spleen. In man the diesase is fatal. Dr. E. C. MacDowell of the Carnegie Institution, and Dr. Maurice N. Richter _of Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons have developed a race of mice, all of which are subject to leukemia. Mice of this particular race usually develop the disease after a certain age. But even before this time of life they develop it if inoculated with tissues of mice having Leukemia. Proof of their peculiar susceptibility is found by Drs. MacDowell and Richter in failure of other mice to get the dis- ease from similar inoculations. Other races of mice seem immune to inocula- tion that is almost certain death for these inbreds and their hybrids. Purthermore, among the susceptible mice, the disease is becoming more virulent. It has been transplanted in them 30 times from one set of mice to the next. and now causes death more quickly than at first. The inoculation is done by hypo- dermic needle. Although it adds to the already known evidence that cancer can be transplanted from one animal to an- other, it does not throw any light upon | the present spontaneous spread of can- { cer. AMANULLAH MAY SEEK RETURN TO THRONE Exiled Afghanistan Ruler Said to Have Won Back Support of Powerful Suleiman Khels. By the Associated Press. LONDON, November 27.—A movement, to restore former King Amanullah to the throne of Afghanistan has been re- ported in a Peshawar dispatch to the Daily Herald. ‘The Suleiman Khels, a powerful trad- ing tribe, were stated to have turned against King Nadir and to be ready to fight his armies if any are sent from Kabul. Desertion of the Suleiman Khels was immediate cause of Amanullah's flight from Afghanistan last year. At that time Bacha Sakao, “The Waterboy of the North,” organized a revolt against Amanullah and drove him from Afghan- istan. Nadir Khan, powerful figure in Amanullah’s old government, took the fleld against Bacl Sakao, conquered him and finally executed him. Since then Amanullah has been living in exile in Italy. At a recent tribal conference, called at Gardez by the Afghan government, the tribesmen were said to have stated they had written Amanullah asking him to return and assuring him of their «co-operation.
