Si mon Flexner, Pirector of Labora tories. „ _ At the time of the signing of the .armistice the report says, serum pro duction for the treatment of the diseases named was at its height. 'Tho number of doses supplied in creased from 3,000 in 1917 to 25.000 ;ln 1918 and it was estimated that ,the output for the first three months lot this year far exceeded the entire ■ output for 1918. The total of 2,035 bottles of serum was sent during tho year to the army and naval medical schools, Washington: to United States army i camps; naval stations and camps; iAmerican Expeditionary Force; Hy genic Laboratory, United States Pub lic Health Service and the Royal Naval College In London. The report emphasizes the suc cess attending the method on treat ing Infected surgical wounds which Poctors Carel and Pakin perfected and -luring the year, it says, in strucUons were given to 998 medical .officers and enlisted men of the 'United States Army and Navy, to civilian surgeons and to nurses of the Red Cross and civilian hospitals. A special appropriation of $55,000 has been made, it is said, to enable -the war demonstration hospitals to .continue in active operation until April 1. 1920. "A permanent addition lias been made to the measures now available for preventing gaseous gangrine, or for curing it when it arises in con nection with the industrial or other accidents of civil life," says the. re port, anti-serums having boon pro duced not only for the gas bacillus (Bacillus Welchii) but also for other annaerobic bacteria oecuring in cul tivated soils. In the hospital of the Rockefeller Institute, tho report savs researches on the streptococci, edu cation during tho epidemics of pneu monia following measles and influ enza in the army camps, "will be carried to a conclusion because of their intrinsic importance and the menace which ylreptococcio infec tions present 'n civil life."

TOBACCO INDUSTRY BECOMES BIG REVENUE PRODUCER, ROPER S/4 YS IN REPORT Washing ton, Dec. 5. —Estimates of $6,000,000,000 as the yield of the present revenue law for the first twelve months of its operation will be closely approached if not fully realized, Internal Revenue Commis sion Roper said In his unnual report. Payments of the first two install ments, March 15 und Juno 15, brought Into the Treasury a total of $2,600,783,000, Mr. Roper said, while reports already In hand of the third Installment payable Sept. 15, fully support the bureau's estimate. Commissioner Roper said the to bacco Industry had developed Into one of the greatest sources of FcU erul revenue, the total receipts from this source alone for the fiscul year ending June 30, 1919, being $206,- 003,660, an increase of $4 8,800,000 over tboso of tho preceding year. More Cigars Smoked An onormous Increase In the num ber of cigaretes manufactured was shown by the reports, the total for tho last fiscal year being approxi mately eight times larger than in 1910. In that year, 8,500,000,000 cigaretes and 8,000,000,000 cigars wero manufactured, while in the last fiscal year tho manufacture of ciga retes had increased to 46,500,000,- 000 while the number of cigars re mained practically stationary. Discussing constitutional prohi bition, Mr. Roper said that probably 50,000,000 gallons of spiritous liquors would remain In bonded warehouses when the constitutional amendment becomes effective Janu ary 16. During the year ended June 30, approximately 99,000,000 gallons of distilled liquor were produced from Will Ask Early Consideration of the Peace Resolution Washington, Dec. 5. —A joint reso lution declaring the 'war with Ger- , many "at an end" waa introduced j yesterday by Representative Tink-j ham, Republican, Massachusetts, j He indicated he had acted at the: suggested of Republican leaders In I the Senate and said he would ask [ early consideration by the Foreign j Affairs Committee. House lenders said they had no ! plans for action 011 the resolution. ' The text of the Tinkham resolu- i tion follows: "Whereas, the. resolution of Con- j gross adopted April 6, 1917, by rea- ( son of acts committed by the then ! German government a state of war j was declared to exist between that j government and the United States, j and. j "Whereas, the said acts of war of I the German government have long since ceased, and, "Whereas, hostilities between I Germany and the allied and asso- j elated powers have terminated; "Now therefore, be it, "Resolved by the Senate and s House and Representatives of the j United States in Congress assembled, j "That the said war between Ger-1 many and the United States is here- | by declared to be at an end." FINED FOR NEAR BEER SALES Oil City. Pa-, Dec. s.—Twenty- j three persons were fined $2," each at: Cambridge Springs, when they were found guilty of selling near beer al leged to contain more than one-half of 1 per cent alcohol. | i materials other than fruits, this figure representing a decrease of nearly 75,000,000 gallons from the ' previous year's production. Tho efTect of wartimo prohibition has presented a problem which is causing revenue officials "serious em barrassment," Mr. Roper said. Holders of heavy stocks of liquor in bond were forced, under provisions 1 of the last revenue act, to pay an additional tax Sept. 15. The law i closing the saloons for the period of , - the war has left those interests with . | their products and without means ■ j of obtaining money to make the tax ■ ' payments, he said. Many Drugs Smuggled. "Under the law the discretion of ■ the bureau is limited to extending the time for payment of these taxes i seven months." Mr. Roper explained. "Serious embarrassment lias re sulted as to the course of action which should be taken in these l cases to protect the interests of the • Government without imposing un ■ due financial hardships on the tax i payers which presumably were not I Intended by Congress." i The report revealed a menace in : Illegitimate traffic in drugs between this country and Canada and Mexico. Mr. Roper urged that some temporary arrangement be estab lished which would put a stop to this smuggling. Expenditures of the bureau dur i lng the last fiscal year, Mr. ltoper said, were $20,573,771, an increase [I of $12,003,214 over the previous fiscal year. On this basis, he said, it had cost the Government 0.543 , I per cent to administer the revenue I j laws and collect the second greatest i l tax bill the Nation ever has laid. —— Cummins Charges Misrepresentation of His Railroad Bill Wa-liiiurton. Dee. s.—After speak j iag three days, Senator Cummins, I chairman of the Interstate Com j meree Committee, concluded late ' yesterday a detailed explanation of t his railroad bill, designed to meet I conditions with the return of the j roads to private ownership and con | trol. j Discussing the anti-strike provi ! sion of the measure, as proposed by the committee. Senator Cummins de -1 elared "there had been an indus j trious effort to misrepresent the > bill," He denied that it interfered j in any way with railway employes ! or officials who desired to quit work. Emphasizing that he was not op ! posed to labor organizations, Sen -1 ator Cummins said the committee, ! in inserting the anti-strike section felt 1 that "the civilization of America ; cannot continue or endure unless 5 organized society can find some plan i to preserve industrial peace and or- I der." President Wilson's message 'to Congress Tuesday, he declared, j was a direct endorsement of the pro | posed legislation. Mexican Consul at El Paso Denies the Capture of Villa j I'll I'aso, Texas, Dec. s.—Andres ! Garcia, consul general here for Mex ico, received a telegram from mili tary headquarters at Chihuahua City yesterday which said that the re ported capture of Francisco Villa t near Parral was not true. 1 GET AMERICANS OUT OF MEXICO Sonic Concerns of the States Prepare to Bring Their Men to the Border El l*aa<>, the, Ft, —Cailain American cancmna operating in Mexico ordered tlielr border repre sentatives (o prepare for getting their American ctnpioyeo out of Mexico, tn some oanctj tiio definite insf ructions were given for im mediate withdrawal of American eajployera from Mexico, Hut nets t'< these companies were ytiibhcld because of the possible danger, it yttut said, to their em ployes in quitting the southern re pu biie. Danger to A men cans in Mexico, should diplomatic relations between the two eountrios be broken off, lias been seriously discussed on the border in connection with the Jenkins coso. It was felt that an order front the government such as j was issued by President Taft in 1912 ordering Americans to quit Mexico, would create an ill-feeling south of iiut border and might cause blood shed. The problem hi gelling the Ameri cans out of Mexico should diplo matic relations be broken, would be a difficult one, according to their employers, for they Are scattered throughout the country and many gre great, distances from railroads and telegraph lines, Pompanies preparing to get I heir employes home hesitated to-day (o permit publication of their inten tions, Then it was decided that the situation appeared so critical that notice of their action might point tlie way to safety to other Ameri cans in the interior. Should a resolution breaking oft relations be passed, it was said that there would be a general exodus of Americans to the United States. Argentine Watching the Situation Between America and Mexico ! Buenos Aires. Argentine, Dec. 5. — While the rumors of an offer of mediation by the A. B. C. powers | (Argentina, Brazil and Chile) to settle the difficulties between the United States and Mexico lack con firmation, it is known that the Ar gentine government is closely watch ing the situation and that the fofeign office is keeping fully in formed of the developments through the Argentine envoys in Washington and Mexico City. It is much ques tioned in diplomatic circles whether, If action towards mediation is to bo taken by any of the South American governments, it should be joint ac tion by the A. B. C. powers, inns much as the proposal for an A. B. C. accord which followed the Ni agara Falls conference of 1914 lias never been ratified and it is not be lieved that this principle could now be appropriately invoked. Simple Funeral For Henry Frick, Financier Pittsburgh, Dec. G. —Simple fu neral services were held hero to-day for Henry C. Frick, the financier who died at his home in New York Tues day. Only the prayer book service for the dead was said by the Rev. Dr. Edwin ,T. Van Etten, reetor of Calvary Church, Pittsburgh. Burial, which was private, was made in the family plot in the Homewood ceme- j tery. CONQUERING THE 1 POTATO WART Conference Brings Out Effec tive Measures of Protection and Eradication Washington, Pee. 5. Report: given at a recent conference of offi cials from West Virginia, Pennsyl vania, ,m<l Maryland with the Fed eral Horticultural Board of the United States Department of Agri culture, called to consider the status of the potato wart disease, show that there lias been only a slight spread of this recently discovered menace to the potato industry of AmeHcu, and that by planting immune varieties further losses from the dlse:tso can be practically eliminated. The po tato wart is one of the most destruc tive maladies attacking potato c rops in Europe, and heretofore no means lias been known for eradicating it from tho soil, once a garden or a | field became infected. Not only have the investigators for the United Stales Department of Agriculture found varieties of potatoes which are immune, but they have devised a method of thoroughly disinfecting the soil by the use of steam and formalydehyde. As a result of tile conference in Washington, it is announced that the State authorities of West Virginia and Pennsylvania will take steps to assist gardeners In the infected regions in the purchase of varieties of seed known to be immune. Jt may bo found advisable, also, to un dertake the disinfection of a limited number of garden plots. As the cost of tiiis work is approximately SI,OOO an acre, the efforts along this line will be limited until I lie most ef fective and economical methods have been discovered. Phila. Council Passes Daylight Saving Bill Philadelphia. Pec. 5.
