"On the whole, at the end of the first year of the war, medicine la found to have acquitted Itself well." says the Lancet "There haa been an absence of epidemic sick ness, and there has been no catas trophe from ssnttnry faults. On the principle that lives saved are lives gained, the efficiency of the medical service has meant a gain of many Uvea to the belligerent armies. "In France the care of the wounded behind the lines has etesdlly Improved snd the experience which has been cuneil of unfamiliar diseases and con ditions, such as tetanus and gas gan grene, will be of the greatest value In the future. There have been several epidemics of typhoid, but neither In the English. French nor Belgian ranks was the disease ever allowed to make grave headway. During the Winter there waa much suffering from ex posure, but the chief cause of dis ability was trench foot' There was less pneumonia and rheumatism than expected. 'Concerning the Russian medical service, the Information Is most sat isfactory, though some apprehension was at first felt about IL The dif ficulty was not the personnel, but the distances. The devotion of voluntary effort and of civilian medical men have overridden the difficulties. "The story of Serbia Is a triumph of preventive medicine, and the United States and England between them may lay claim to toe credit. None of the stories of the terrible plight of the Serbians from typhus exaggerates the state of things, but the grip of the disease has been made to relax, and the medical outlook Is hopeful."

The scheme was developed by Paul S. Reinsert, Minister to China; Julian H. Arnold, commercial attache at Pe- kin. and Dr. E. E. Pratt, chief of the bureau of foreign and domestic com merce.' Mr. Reinsch brought to Wash ington a programme framed by himself and Mr. Arnold, which was submitted to Dr. Pratt, Secretary Lansing and other officials. It was generally in dorsed and the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce already has begun work along the lines sue seated. Mr. Arnold will return to the United States this Winter and tour the country to obtain capital for Investment in China State Department officials have been watching commercial conditions in China aince the recent granting of ex tensive special privileges demanded by Japan. Commercial Politics Avoided. No political steps have been taken to procure concessions or privileges for Americans, however, and the policy of the Government haa been steadfastly against commercial politics, such as other nations have employed in China. The plan now proposed is expected to develop an international condition there which would be powerful enough to meet the competition of other na tions. Dr. Pratt pointed out today that American capital was piling up as a result of the European war, and that vast sums of Idle money are available for investment- Guns, Bombs and Grenades Used in Violent Exchanges.

MOTHER THOUGHT NOT TO HAVE STOPPED MUXITIOXS WORK. Mrs. Harriman Takes No Part in Man agement of Company's Affalra and la Decidedly Not Pro-German. NEW YORK. Aug. 22. (Special.) W. AverKl Harriman, son of Mrs. E. H. Harriman. said today he did not be lieve it was true that his mother, as owner of the McKeen Motors Company, of Omaha, had ordered negotiations for a large war order discontinued. The dispatch said that the -order was for shrapnel for one of the European belligerents and was sufficiently lar; to keep the company's factory working at full capacity for two years. Nego tiations had been concluded up to the point of signing the contracts, but Mrs. Harriman's actions prevented the final step, according .to the dispaich.- Mrs. Harriman is now en route East from San Francisco, but her son said over the long distance telephone from Lenox, Mass., that while he did not know definitely that his mother did not break off negotiations he believed it so improbable that be was willing to brand it as untrue. My mother takes no active part in the management of that company," he said. "The officers do not confer with her about contracts, they are not her representatives and none of the di rectors represent her. If such a con tract were pending I do not believe she would know about it." The story, if true, would indicate that either Mrs. Harriman was pro German or that she had moral scruples against her company's making war munitions. From sources other than Mr. Harriman it was learned tnat Mrs. Har riman is decidedly nor pro-German. W. P. MASSEYJS BURIED Second Wife Directs Interment or Quinaby Man Beside First.
