NEW YORK, FRIDAY, APRIL 18, SCIENTISTS Dr. McWilliams Makes An- jouncement in Address Brooklyn Church. PUBLIC GETS IT SOON. Thorough Test Demonstrates That Two Kinds of Bacil- lus Cause Disease. Through the medium of an addrvss delivered last night to the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church Club in Brooklyn, it became known to-day that the medical Rockefeller Research Institute have discovered a serum which is a cure for pneumonia. The formal an- nounce™ment is expected from the in- stitute within a few weeks, as soon as the remedy !s so far improved and Perfected as to be available for dis- tribution through boards of heafth to practising physicians, ‘The #ddress at the church was deliv- ered by Dr, Clarence McWilliams of No. % East Fitty-third street, Manhattan, who has been engaged in research work @t tho institute. The fact that such a cure had been found was exclusively Published in The Evening World a few days ago, but no contirm: could be Mtaiied trom the institute authorities, It remained for Dr, Williams in his ™ore or less confidential church addr to give oMctal approval to The Evening World's announcement. According to Dr, McWilliams, careful tests have been made many unt form success, It has been established that the serum will cure pneumonia and the discovery is one of the most im- vortant ever made in the treatment of divease, SCIENTISTS, HAVE TRIED FOR VEARS TO FIND CURE. Bclentists who have been working f umonia were y recently dia- covered at the Rockefeller Institute, that the pneumococcus hactlius 1s re- sponsible for pneumonia, and that this or organism, eonsists of two strains or entities, each of which causes pneumonia, The disease whether caused by one strain or the other follows the same general line of progress but a remedy that might prove efficacious in com- bating one strain would be df no use against the other. Proceeding from this the directors of the Rockefeller tute perfected their serum, They proceured this fin the,usual manner of obtaining such serums, by innoculating @ horse with gradually increased doses of the organism causing pneumonia un- fl the horse was immune to immense oses, Then, with the serum obtained, patient's blood was inoculated. But the problem that arose here, and thet had hitherto prevented the discov- ry of @ pneumonia serum while scl- entiets were ignorant that there were two distinct forms of the pneumococcus germ, was to get the serum that would affect the particular strain with which the patient was affovted. This worked out by inocculating two te of horses, each with its appropri- e strain, After the horses in the two sets had demonstrated thair immunity, two separate serums resulted, It was then necessary to find out which of the serums should be used on the patient under treatment, TWO SETS OF MICE USED TO FIND CURE. This was determined at the Institute by taking the sputum from the patient and inoculating two sets of mice wit it. At the same time each of the sets of mice was siven an injection of the ant!- toxin gerum. Into one set the antitoxin affecting the first of the two strains was administered, while the eother set wes given the scrum affecting the sec experts of the| ‘w JAPS PROTESTING SING WAR SONGS “AS MENAGE TO U.S. Feeling Growing Over Cali- fornia Alien Law and Wilson | Asked to Avoid Calamity. |FEAR MOB_ INFLUENCE. | Tokio Officials Discuss Situa- tion With Americans—Cable to Washington.

A cordial feeling prevailed, Shortly after the luncheon Messrs. Mabie, Peabody and Mott and a number of representative Japanese Christians and Americans met at the residence of Count Shigenobu Okuma, former Pre- mier and Minister of Foreign Affairs. Count Okuma delivered a speech during which he said that diplomacy, the courts and commercial men were help- less, and that only the Influence of Christianity remained, Otherwise, he declared, war was impending, John L, Mott, in reply, agreed that the influence of Christianity now was superlative.

CHARGES DESERTION. Private Agreement Is Said to Have Been Reached as to Alimony. Mrs. Nevada Van Volkenburgh brought sult to-day in the Superior Court of Windham County, Conn., for an dbao- lute divorce from her husband, Phillip Van Volkenburgh, charging desertion for the period of three years, Van Volkenburgh was served with an “order of notice’ authorised by the Connecticut court. Brooks & Brooks of New Haven are Mrs. Van Volken- burgh’s attorneys in this sult, which promised to the ‘last of the many actions instituted by the husband and wife since their romantic marriage, Nov, 28, 1908, According to the “order of service” Van Volkenburgh is directed to appear in the Town of Putnam, Cona., May 6, 1918, 4 make such answer as he chooses to his wife's sult.

He declined to discuss the case except to state that Mr. Van Volkenburgh had been prop- erly served, WILL VOLUNTARILY APPEAR AND WAIVE DEFENSE, From an intimate friend of Van Volkenburgh it was learned that Van Volkenburgh will appear in court in May and then waive iis defense, His voluntary appearance, !t was sald, will be made to assure the Court that it has jurisdiction to determine the issues uf Mrs. Van Volkenourgh's sult. “Mr. Van Volkenburgh has no de fense to the present sult,” this friend stated to an Evening World reporter to-day. “His wife charges him with desertion for the period of three years, which is true. As she has been a bona fide resident of the town of Pomfret for a period longer than three years, she has the privilege of appealing to the courts of her State for relief. Under the laws of Connecticut @ husband or wife may obtain a divorce if desertion for three years is shown.” The complaint filed in the Connecti- cut court charges that the pbeintift defendant were married Nov, 23, that Mrs, Van Volkenburgh has resided continuously in Pomfret for three years and that in the month of January, 1910, Van Volkenburgh “wil- fully deserted” her and has “continued euch desertion with tétal lect of all the duties of the marriage covenant.” UNDERSTANDING REACHED As TO HER ALIMONY.
