It Is not apparent from the cable des patch whether the Russian physlclaw have made separate discovery1 or whether they have merely verified the claim of Dr. ., Harry Plotz, of New York, that he h Isolated the typhus bacillus. Dr. John A. Kolmer, bacteriologist of the University of Pennsylvania, commenting on the dis patch, today said: "The bacillus of typhus was discovered, or at least It was claimed to have been discovered, by Doctor Plots about a year and n half ago. Doctor Plots made his announcement nfter studying cases of typhus In New York. .While sufficient time has not elapsed for physicians to de termine whether Doctor Plots was suc cessful and to verify his claim, It may be that tho Russian physicians have verified it. Doctor Plotz Is now In' Serbia, ana! white no ofliclal report has been made by him, I believe he Is studying typhus there."
