FOUND NEW DISEASE GERM c
Annoying "Deer-Fly Fever," It ;a An- I
nounced, is Caused by Bac
terium Tularense.
Announcement has been made by the
United States public health service of
the discovery by its investigators of I
a new germ foe to man, which causes t
a disease which has resulted in fa- I
alI cases in Utah, the New York Times
says.
An investigation has been completed
by Surgeon Edward Francis. The
germ, which bears the name of bac
terium tularense, was first located by
Doctors McCoy and Chapin of the
health service, as the causative agent
in a plaguelike disease of rodents. It
was not then known that the same
germ also Infects man.
Doctor Francis now finds that bac.
terism tularense is the cause of "deer
fly fever," a disease occurring among
the rural population of Utah, and ln
itlated, according to popular belief, by
r fly bite on some exposed surface of
the body. The site of the bite. and
the neighboring lymph glands betome
tender and inflamed and commonly
suppurate. A fever like that in ordi
nary blood poison develops and lasts
from three to six weeks.
Just Grievance.
"Somebody else has got to wait on
that guy in the green suit," said Mag
gle, the belle of the beanery.
"What's the matter, Mag?" asked
ker-for that day--dearest friend.
"He saild, 'Pull yourself together,

President Wilson Announces
Carriers Will be Turned
Back to Owners.
Washington.-President Wilson on
Wednesday issued proclamations re
turning the railroads and express com
panies to private control March 1.
Failure of congress to enact reme
dial legislation was given as the rea
son for extending by two months the
time originally announced for relin
quishing government control of the
railroad properties. In his message to
congress last May, President Wilson
said the railroads would be turned
back at the end of the calendar year.
No agreement having yet been
reached by congress, Secretary Tumul
ty said in announcing the proclama
tion, "it becomes necessary in the pub.
lic interest to allow a reasonable time
to elapse between the issuing of the
proclamation and the date of its actu
ally taking effect. The president is
advised that the railroad and express
companies are not organized to make
it possible for them to receive and
manage their properties if actually
turned over to them December 31."
The decision of the president with
regard to the railroad properties was
set forth in the following proclama
tion:
By the president of the United
States of America-A proclamation:
Relinquishment of federal control
of railroads and systems of transpor
tation.
Whereas, in the exercise of author
ity committed to me by law I have
heretofore, through the secretary of
war, taken possession of, and have
through the director general of rail
roads exercised control over certain
railroad systems of transportation and
property pertaining thereto or connect
ed therewith; systems of coastwise
transportation engaged in general
transportation and owned or controlled
by said railroads or systems of trans.
portation, including also terminals,
terminal companies and terminal as
sociations, sleeping and parlor cars,
private cars and private car lines, ele
vators, warehouses, telegraph and tele
phone lines and all other equipment
and appurtenances commonly used
upon or operated as a part of such
railroads and systems of transporta
tion; and
Whereas, I now deem it'needful and
desirable that all railroads, systems
of transportation and property now un
der such federal control be relinquish
ed therefrom; now, therefore, under
authority of section 14 of the federal
control act, approved March 21, 1918,
and of all other powers and provisions
of law theretofore enabling me; I,
Woodrow Wilson, president of the
United States, do hereby relinquish
from federal control, effective the first
day of March, 1920, at 12:01 o'clock.
a. m., all railroad systems of transpor
tation and property of whatever kind
taken or held under such federal con
trol and not heretofore relinquished
and restore the same to the possession
and control of their respective owners
Walker D. Hines, director general ol
railroads, or his successor in office
. h,-hv allthfllied and directed
is hereby authorized aid directee.,
through such agent and agencies as
he may determine, in any manner not
inconsistent with the provisions of said
act of March 21, 1918, to adjust, settle t
and close all matters, including t)le
making of agreements for compensa
tion, and all questions and disputes of I
whatsoever nature arising out of or in- 1
cident to federal control, until other- 1
wise provided by proclamation of the !
president or by act of congress, and
generally to perform as fully in all re
spects as the president is authorized
to do, all and singular, the acts and
things necessary or proper in order to
carry into effect this proclamation and
the relinquishment of said railroads,
systems of transportation and prop
erty.
For this purpose of accounting and
for all other purposes, this proclama
tion shall become tffective on the first
day of March, 1920, at 12:01 a. m.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done by the president through Ntew
ton D. Baker, secretary of war, in the
District of Columbia, this 24th day of
December, the year of our Lord 1919,
and of the independence of the United
States of America the 144th.

7 GERMAN LINERS
TO GREAT BRITAIN
President Orders Ships Used
to Bring Back U. S. Troops
Given to England.
Washington.-The controversy be.
tween the shipping board and British
officials over possession of seven Ger.
man liners used to bring back Ameril
can troops, and now held idle in New
Yolit harbor. ended abruptly Thursday
with the announcement that President
Wilson had ordered the vessels turned
over to Great Britain. The transfer
will be made without delay and the
ships assigned to passenger service on
British lines.
The eighth ship of the group, the
Imperator, has already been turned
over to the British and is being ope*
rated by the Cunard Line.
The unexpected action of the ship*
ping board last September in refusing
to deliver the Imperator to the British
was understood to be connected with
efforts to induce the return to the
Standard Oil Company of 12 tank
steamers formerly under the German
flag but now held in British custody
in the Firth of Forth by order of the
supreme council. The state depart.
ment took the position, however, that
these were separate questions and
must be dealt with separately, the
United States carrying out its oblllg&
tion to turn the German ships over to
the British.
Meantime the fate of the tankers
remains in doubt. John B. Payne,
chairman of the shipping board, re
cently made a proposal to the supreme
council that, pending adjustment of
titles, the tankers be put at the dic
posal of the United States and that
Great Britain be given use of the for
mer German liners. Great Britain
agreed to this proposal, it is learned,
t on the condition that the United States
- would furnish Great Britain, France,
Italy and Belgium with oil, but, it is re
ported, withdrew its acceptance the
day after it was transmitted. No ex.
- planation of the reported withdrawal
I was obtainable.
f Under the Versailles treaty, final de
cision as to the title on all craft requi.
sitioned from German harbors after
the armistice rests with the repara.
tions committee. The present dispute,
both as to the passenger vessels and
the tankers, it is asserted, can not be
considered as definitely settled, the
I present disposition being only tempo
Srary.
