The organism producing the fever

and stands second in the list of those
causing the greatest wastage. The
dlseaes is not fatal but it means an
absence of six to eight weeks from
the ranks.
Scarcity of physicians In the Brit
ish army prevented the royal army
medical corps from studying the cause
of the disease. The American Red
Cross decided to undertake a survey
based on the yellow fever Investlga

With the approval of Gen. Persh
ing, a call for volunteers was made

to submit to the experiment. Sixty
men were selected. A comfortable
walled hospital with a complete lab
oratory equipment and everything ne
cessary to trace the transmission of
the parasites, has been provided by
