TYPHUS EPIiDEMIC IN BRITISH PRISONERS OF WAR Prevailed Last Year in the Wittenberg Camp. ‘Washington, April 9—Tomorrow the senate will debate the free sugar re- peal issue. Senator Simmor man of the finance committee, givon notice that he would call London, April 9, 6 p. m—The gov- ernment committee on the treatment In Germany of Pritish prisoners of war, of which the Honorable Mr. Jus- e Younger is chairman, has report on the conditions prevailing in the Wittenberg camp during the typhus cpidemic of last year. . The report is based on information from exchanged prisoners, especially from Major Priestley, Captain Vidal and Capiain Lauder of the army med- ical corps, who were sent to the camp soon after the outbreak of the eopi- gemic and who were recently released from Germany. The three officers mentioned are the only survivors of six British doctors sent to the Witten- berg camp by the Germans “to take up,” says the report, “the place of duty abandoned by their own medical staff ‘when the presence of typhus manifest- ed itself.” The records of the epidemic kept by up the sepnate amendment to the repeas resolution which passed the house sev- eral weeks ago. Senator Simmons warned the senate that action was | imperative, because the free sugar clause of the tariff act will become op- erative May 1 unless conzress acts before that time. He said he antici- ed_a sharp controversy in confer- ence because of the action of the flat repeal of the free sugar clause. The demecrats of the senate ‘in caucus de- cided to amend this and instead of a flat repeal recommended that the ex- isting duty of a cent a pound on sugar should be extended until May 1, 1920. Republican senators indicated yes- terday that there would be a vote on ¢! IS two days.

Gerard, in his report last. November, said was ‘“even more u; favorable than Y had been led to ex- vect.” According_to the released officers, there are 15,000 and sometimes more prisoners in the camp, which the com- mittee says “is an enormous popula tion for so restricted an area as ten and a half acres” There were no proper heating arrangements and the men were insufficiently clothed. Many had neither boots nor socks. There was an_insufficient supply of water and soap and Major Priestley says he found the men “gaunt, of a peculiar grav pallor and mervionous. The supply of food was also insuffi- cient, even in the hospital, until sup- vlfes arrived from England. COTTON MILL WORKERS i WANT HIGHER WAGES A General Agitation is to be Made Throughout New England. New Bedford, Mass, April 9.—A general agitation for a further wage advance is to be startefl at once in all of the leading cotton manufacturing cities of New gland by the Inter- national Mule Spinners' Upion, ac- cording to a formal announcement to- day by Samuel Ross of this city, vice president of the International Union. Mr. Ross sald that the mule spin- mers plan to work with other textile Senator Simmons that the republican were anxious for the repeal to be en- acted into law. As soon as the susgar issue is dis- posed of in the senate, debate on the ermy bill will be resumed. When the agrcement for a vote, April 18, was reached yesterday with a limita- tion on debate to ten minutes to each senator on_the bill or amendment, several senators remarked in informal conferences that they never have seen sucha demonstration of actual cloture sentiment in their senatorial experi- ence. SUCCESSFUL ATTACK BY FOUR GERMAN SEAPLANES On a Russian Aviation Station on Oe- sel Island. Berlin, April 9, via London, 5.20 p. .—A successful attack by four Ger- man seaplanes on a Russian aviation statfon on Oesel Island at the en- trance to the Gulf of Riga, is an- nounced in an official statement today by the chief of the admiralty staff. The statement says: “On April ¢ four naval planes at- tacked the Russian aerodrome at Pap. pensholm near Kielkond, on Oesel Is- land. Twenty bombs were dropped. Two of four enemy aeroplanes which rose were forced to descend. In spite of heavy anti-aircraft fire our aero- planes returned safely.” LANSING REPLIES TO PROF.

Position of Troops Withheld. The present position of the advanc- d columns was not made public, but was known that cavalry columns under Colonels Brown and Dodd are driving south from Stevo with all speed. Officers here had no inform- ation that either force had gone as far as Parral, but they said the re- ceipt of such information would be no surprise. General Pershing himself is moving south along the trall to Satevo, personally directinz so far as possible the pursuit of Villa and the gearch of the mountains and plains adjacent to the trails being followed. Before leaving his headquarters on the San Geronimo ranch north of Guerrero, General Pershing sald Gen- eral Luis Herrera, the Carranza sem- eral whose defection was reported at one time. called upon him and tae :wo discussed in a friendly manner the ef- forts beinz made by both govern- ments to run down the common en- emy. Excellent Work By Asroplanes. The excellent work done by the aer- oplanes has been so marked that at headquarters officials are anxiously awaiting reinforcements of that arm of the service. Although it is now rec- ognized that the machines being used e not of the type to give the best rvice, General Pershing's reports in- dicate that the five still In servica are doing good work both in scouting and can z despatches. It has been due to them that General Pershing has been able to keep in communication at all with the fast moving cavalry detachments. Reports at headquarters show that a few arres have been made of those who took part in the raid on Columbus. N. M, a month ago today. General Pershing, who reported the arrests. did not indicate where they were made. Brilliant Operations. General Funston and his staff were keenly appreciative of the brilliant extension of operations in Mexico but frank admission was made that with- out the use of the railroads, a mate- rial strengthening of the forces or the establishment of a new base and line of communication, the movement in- to Mexico could proceed but a short distance farther unless the advanced forces cut loose from their base. Hope that permission to use the railroads to Chihuahua vet may be secured had not been abandoned. If that permis- sion is denled, however, it is not prob- able that General Funston will im- mediately, insist on using more troops but it is belleved that he probably will suggest to the war department the movement of the line of communi- cation to scme point where the base will be much nearer to the field of op- eration.

RESUSCITATIVE EXPERIMENTS AT JOHNS HOPKINS Serum to Stimulate Blood and Form Reaction cf the Heart. Baltimore, Md.. Ap: Experi- ments are being made by specialists at Johns Hopkins University Hospital Wwhich, if successful, will greatly aid in the resuscitation of persons ap- parently dead from drowning or as- phyxiation. The new treatment is the injection of a‘serum to stimglate the blood to such an extent as will form), a reaction on the heart. This will keep! the person alive until the apparatus perfected some time ago to clear the lungs can be put into use. The seruth, the ingredients of which the experimenting physicians will not divulge at this time, has been tried on a2 number of animals i nthe labora- tories of the institution and in a pum- ber of cases has proven successful. However, in most of the #ases there has been after effect such as high blood pressure or hardening of the arteries. According to the physiciame f the serum can be perfected and there at this time that can be, the serum can be jnjected in- y several hour3 after the accident and restore iife.
