Paris, Oct. 7. If field campaigning
continues throughout the winter in
Europe medical men here are predict
ing that disease's ravages will be
more horrible than anything shot and
shell can do.
MAiy physicians are of the opinion
that pestilence will wreak greater
havoc in very cold than in too warm
weather, since science has taught
their profession to combat summer
epidemics with considerable success,
while nothing can enable them to off
set the effects of the exposure the
troops will suffer as soon as winter
sets in.
Cholera, it is agreed, will tempo
rarily disappear, and there will be no
danger of bubonic plague while cold
weather lasts.
Meningitis, however, it is pointed out,
thrives under Just such conditions as
must prevail l field operations are not
to be suspended with the advent of win
ter. Typhoid and typhus will not be
checked by it. Pneumonia is to be ex
pected. There may be smallpox,
though the doctors think vaccination
will prevent this from becoming, serious.
"Black Death" reared.
But the most alarming suggestion
of all is one to the effect that a war
like this one is just the thing to sow
the seeds of a tremendous outbreak
of pneumonic plague the "black
death" of the middle ages.
This disease is quite distinct from
bubonic plague and is really a violent
form of pneumonia. For generations
it was considered practically extinct,
but in the past few years there have
been several cases in England, a few
in continental Europe and three or
four years ago Manchuria had a vio
lent outbreak.
At that time medical experts sug
gested that the human race probably
became so saturated with this disease
in the middle ages as to be practically
proof against it, as a result of which
the disease itself virtually disap
peared. These authorities Inclined to
the""; opinion that this immunity had
worn off, and that: the world was ripe
for another outbreak. "
Can Be Stopped, at Start.
The illness la described as begin
ning with a slight cough, and, if
recognized and properly treated within
a few minutes after the first symptom
manifests itself, it can be easily
cured. These few minutes being
passed, however, death is usually a
