White Believes British Officer Found Bacillus DIED FROM EXPERIMENT Cbntracted Disease From Mi crobes and Succumbed to Pneumonia Dr Courtland Y. White, city bac teriologist, believes that the bacillus Iso lated by Major H Q. Gibson, of the Brit ish army. Just before his death In France from pneumonia, probably Is the dlstlnc- , live germ of Influenza. ' News of Doctor aibson s death has j Just been received from London.

In an effort to Isolate the bacillus which Is the cause of the disease. Major Glbfon had published a pre liminary report of his work In the Brit ish Medical Journal December 14, 1918. Recently, when working with a peculiar ly virulent strain of the baclllu", lie de v eloped Influenza himself and died of pneumonia which developed later Oerm Not Visible Under mass The British experimenters had con cluded that the disease was caused by a germ so small that it Is not visible under the microscope and pastes read ily through the porcelain filters used In bacteriological work. "I knew that similar work had been done In France by Doctor Nlcalle." said Doctor White today commenting upon Major Gibson's death, "t knew that a group of British bacteriologists wero working along the same lines also. 1 Imagine both Doctor Nlcalle and Doctor Gibson were working on the same theory, which 1 believe Is the correct one, namely, that the disease Is caused by a bacillus too small to be visible, and I capable of passing through the porcelain I fi,"Doc"oerUNica.ie. ke Major f!lbson. was able to set up the disease by in- oculattng monkeys with cultures of this bacillus. Whether this will finally be denominated tho influenza bacllldV I do not know, "It Is clear that the Pfelffer ba- j-clllus. Isolated In 1892, and heretofore looked upon as the germ which caused Influenza, Is not the true Influenza ha- LClllUs. We have Isolated the Pfelffer Laclllus In the recent epidemic, but It kes not produce the bacteriological action under test that would lead us believe It caused the disease. "During the last great epidemic of nfluenza before this recent one, back In 1889, bacteriology had not advanced far nough for much to be learned about me germ which causes the dlseae. rfeiffer naeillijo Found Toward the end of the epidemic the lifter taclllue was discovered. It was ause of a laboratory accident when IPfeiffer bacillus was being studied. Utlng In the inoculation of one of acterlologlsts wltn the germ and development ot symptoms, of influ enza, that led to the conclusion that fth Pfelffer bacillus was the causative agent of Influenza." Doctor White said that the small bacillus found by Major Gibson had not 'been Isolated here. ''Right after the epidemic we began work in a big way In the city bacterio logical laboratories.

He said the conference had four vital problems to solve the Franco German frontier, the Adriatic situation, the UusMan frontier and freedom of the seas. All these questions probably will be completed In a foitnlght. Captain Tardleu said France does not desire to annex the left bank of the Rhine, but only wants guarantees to prevent Its use as a base for attacking France. The Russian question will be considered late next week. Premier Clemenceau resumed his usual work vesterday and appeared to be com pletely restored to health. He arrived at the Ministry of AVar at 9 40 a. m. and confened with rorelgn Minister Plchon, M Lejgues, Minister of Marine, nnd M. Loucheur, Minister of Recon. struction. Afterward he teceived the members of the Superior Council of Al-sace-lorralne. Sunshine o Jefferson Hospital, "Yahfluh la da coo," observed the young statesman. He reached with some eagerness for his right foot and sorted out the toes. This formality completed. Mr. Sayre made polite reference to the weather, as he squinted an eye at a splash of sun. shine which had turned the white enamel wall of his room to gold. "De fah, lah so man," he remarked, pleasantly, "Yes, Isn't It?" agreed the caller. Casual chat ensued for a fleeting while and then a shadow was observed to settle upon Mr. Sayre'a countenance. The shadow deepened. The gentleman clutched at the pit of his stomach. "Mah 1" he complained bitterly, "Wan ! Sfut da ma yurrop! Wall!"
