CARE OF SOLDIERS GIVEHTTEflTIOH War Department Is Making Investigations to Better Health Conditions.

Vl'uiladluiu Fpci lal) Washington, Dec. 13. The war department has for the time being turnfed Its attention from armament, Btetd pluto and exploHiven. to tbe puriose of doing no met hi im in tbe way of conserving the liven of the urmy and navy units, by making an Investigation of a new discovery which many of the officers feci quite certain will have tho effect of making the camp. t'arracka and tented field, houlthful places to live In. It is no new thing for the war department to be InvcMttgatlnK the work of scientific men who have Improved upon some meant of taking life, but that is warfare, and la ond nature to thoae men of iniKht and deeds. It appears to be a atep in the riKhr. direction, that they have been arouxed to the necessity of caring for the lives Of their nten when not In action. It is claimed that the heads of the department urged on the proper executive machinery for the pur pone of securing to the government tho nolo information and ownership of the chemical discovery of Prof. II. C Carel of tbe university of Minnesota, which is listed in the Investigations as Henetol. This, it is claimed, is the Urst time any of th department exiwrts have ever recommended that the government take over for Its ownership any discovery outside of those of armament, ilate or defense. An emissary Is being sent to Prof. Caret, to enter Into negotiations, and for the first time in its history, the United States government, may go into the germicide business. The first whisper of the value of Henetol as a germicide, came from the leper colony at Honolulu, where a demand came for a quantity. It appears that one of the minor officials there was a friend of Prof. Caret, the discoverer, and had been sent n smalt quantity for a test, on leprosy, and had rcorted marvelous results. Very shortly afterwards came a very strong communication front Major George Thorpe. U. S. Marines, who had secured a quantity of Benetot through a Minneapolis frlerd, and who had it tested on the V. S. S. Connecticut, with results which caused him to enthuse. P. M. Shook, pathologist at the United States medical school at Washington, was asked to make Investigation and secured a quantity of the Denetol from New York United States Marine hospital. The Interior department became active, and a number of Its surgeons began making tests upon the Indians with such wonderful results from everywhere that officials became Interested. When finally reports began to come from some of tbe western barracks showing that. It was . practically a "cinch" to ward off typhoid fever by tho use of the new discovery, the department got ready to act, and hence the emissary who will go to the Minnesota discoverer, bearing gifts and a plan for having the government take over the discovery because of its remarkably, beneficial effects upon humsnlty In making it possible for the Aculth officials and physicians to

break up any germ scourge, Anywhere. "Typhoid atone," said one of the officials, "takes more lives in our army in war and peace, than the bullets of tbe enemy. If therefore? this Benetol will prevent that one genu disease only, as some of our fort officers say it will, the government should control It especiajly since, as I am informed, it can be manufactured cheaply. Such a powerful germ killer, which I am told can be sent into the human stomach in large doses, is certainly a revelation which is better worth controlling than some new explosive or gun barrel."

OWN CUE; FOILED Informs Woman He Is Not a Grocer and Alleged Swindlers Vanish.

REPRIMAND

Although the plan was most unique and of his own invention, Chief of Police Gormon had one slipped over on him when he failed to land some agents of a bogus realty company in New York City who were selling lots on Long Island, which it is averred were under water. Several bankers and in fact the wealthier citizens generally fell for the swindle and after they "got wise" notified the police. At the time the men were still in Richmond waiting to collect another installment of the payments on the real estate. It was arranged between the purchasers of the bogus lots and the alleged representatives of the company for the latter to collect the money at the home of a prominent resident. This man was to act as the local collector for the ' real estate" men. The arrangement was then made for the local man not to be in his office at his home when the men called but that his wife was to hold them there until the police could arrive. She had been instructed to call up the chief and in an exasperated tone of voice want an explanation why her groceries had not been delivered. Several days had elapsed between the time Mr. Gormon had planned the affair and when the time came to make the arrests, lie did not catch his cue and kept informing the woman she was mistaken, that Police headquarters was not a grocery store. The alleged swindlers made their getaway, evidently smelling a rat.

TO BE '

GIVEN W. S, SIMS H He Is Found to Have Made Certain Remarks in Speech. t American News Service) Chicago. Dec. 13. A Washington dispatch to the Chicago Tribune says: A reprimand will be given commanded William S. Sims of the Minnesota if it turns out that he made the last

drop of blood' speech which he is said to have delivered at Guild hall banquet to the officers of the visiting American f'.eet in London on December -Both President Taft and Sec

retary of the Navy, Meyer, want naval otifeers abroad to understand it is a grave indiscretion to give utterance to sentiments of the character credited to Mr. Sims. "Commander Sims has been ordered to forward a verbatim report of his speech. According to the published accounts he said: "If the time ever comes w hen the British empire is seriously menaced by an external enemy, it is my opinion you may count upon very man. dollar and every drop of blood of your kindred across the seas.' "According to the cabled reports from London, exception has been taken to the utterances from many quarters and especially from Germany. "That Germany should take exception to the prophecy that America would give its last dollar and last drop of blood to the Uritish empire is not regarded as surprising. American officers have been warned repeatedly to abstain from invidious utterances that might mar international amenities. The administration is determined to make an example of offenders, but a reprimand is considered sufficient punishment unless the case is an extremely flagrant one. "The explanation which Commander Sims has been ordered to forward to

the secretary is expected in tho course of the next fortnight. So far tho only account of the speech In the possession of the department, is that from tho London Times. Commander Sims was naval commander to President Roosevelt and formerly was inspector of target practice iu the Navy Department. He was one of the naval officers who became prominent through their criticisms of the alleged structural defects of the American battleships. ,
