One of the points which must be token
in consideration is the number of deaths
occurring from unknown causes, that in,
cuseg m which no diagnosis was made
by the physician. Many such deaths
would bo included among other diseases
if the facts were known. It speaks
well then for the medical profession of
Vermont that there were in 1013 only
3.1 deaths per 10(1,000 population put
down as due to "ill -defined or unknown
causes . .New iork leads tlie east on
this item with 1.5, but the other states
show as follows: Massachusetts, 5.7;
Rhode Island, 7.9; Connecticut, 9.5; New
Hampshire, 12.1; Maine, 23.5.
In addition to these facts, it should
also be stated that the Vermont state
board of health has become known
throughout the entire country during the
past year by its methods of dealing with
the scourge of infantile paralysis, and
that it is setting a pace in the study of
this disease which forms an entirely new
epoch in the history of preventative mcd
ieine. While other states had very lit
tle idea of the number of eases of this
disease. Vermont secured a complete clin
ical record of practically every paralyzed
ease, and these have since been supple
mented by charts showing the museles
affected. All of this is being studied
and urranged, so that the valuable data
thereby secured will be available for the

Secretary Charles F. Dalfon of the
. Vermont state bourd of health points out
that Vermont is making rapid strides
in the control of disease, barring canc er,
the "tinkuown disease," and he defends
the general reputation of the state in
the following interview:
Much prominence is being given to
the fact that Vermont in 1913 had the
highest death rate, from cancer of any
state in the registration area. While it
is fitting that jve should take cognizance
of this condition and do everything pos
sible to correct it, the idea should not
be allowed to exist that Vermont has n
bimihir reputation in regard to other dis
eases. Cancer is a disease about which
we know practically nothing as to the
cause, and the only treatment is early
surgery. ,
AVhen the statistics are shown in re
gard to the diseases which depend for
their prevention upon state control and
correct medical treatment, it will be
found that Vermout either leads (he
whole I'nited States or is well to tie
front. For cxajnple. the same report

dreaded, has been almost conquered in
Vermont by methods of quarantine and
state distribution of antitoxin, and
among the eastern slates, crnioni leans
by a very large margin in this respect.

Vermont was the lirst state in the un

hygiene with free examination for diag

an annual school for health officers;
was the first s(ate to have a traveling

Queenstown, May 12. Sixteen bodies
were brought into Queenstown yester
day afternoon by a tug chartered by the
Cunard line. None of the bodies have
yet been identified.
The bodies are those of nine men, five
women and a boy and a girl. They
were floating with life beltg 20 miles
cast of the scene of the disaster. All
the bodies have greatly changed and, in
consequence, identification will be slow.
The tug's decks were littered with deck
chairs and other wreckage from the
Lusitania.
Two bodies were brought ashore at
C'astletownsend, near Baltimore earlie
yesterday. Of the bodies at Baltimore,
six are of men and four of women.
The Cunard linn yesterday despatched
a tug to Baltimore to bring these 12
(iodic to Queenstown. Relatives of sur
vivors who had planned to leave vester
day are going to remain over in the
hope of the possibility of making fur
ther identifications. It is reported here
that one of the bodies at Baltimore had
on it papers bearing the name "lfarri

that on another there was found the
circular of a firm. "Florence A Co.,"

tate there which had been bequeathed

ihere are indications that the heavy
death roll among the American men in
the first cabin was due to a scarcity of
lifebelts, many of them having given
the Jife preservers they had obtained to
helpless women.
There is a preponderance of testimony
that no American man got into a boat
until after he had been thrown into the
water. ,
Webb Wade, secretary of Alfred fi.
Vanderbilt. has not yet been able to
arrange with his request that all nec
essary tugs be chartered at the expense
of the Vanderbilt family to search for
other bodies as well as that of Mr. Van
derbilt. Until he heard the story of Dr.
Owen Kenan of New York, Mr. Wade
believed his employer had entered one
of the boats smashed against the side
of the ship, but Dr. Kenan's story Is so
definite it is accepted generally as the
correct version of Mr. Vanderbilt's last
moments aboard the ship.
London, May 12. Walter II. Tage, the
American ambassador, has received a
message from Wesley Frost, the Amer
ican consul at Queenstown, urging him
to make clear to the Cunard company
and to the Uritish admiralty that "real
ly effective nieasurs to recover the l.HHl
missing bodies from the Lusitania are
imperative."
In this connection Mr. rage said yes
terday that the embassy was doing
everything possible to expedite the re
covery of bodies and that he had as
sursnces from the admiralty and th
company that they were doing and would
continue to do the same.
The embassy has taken steps to have
the bodie of Americans embalmed, and
upon identification it will see thst they
are returned to America.
