Kive deaths from meningitis report/M at Camp Jackson, the appearance >f the disease at five different points in th?? State, some of which has been traced directly to workmen employee at cantonments, caused a somewhat apprcnensive statement by lJr. Jamrs A Hayne, secretary of the State boarr. of health. The State board of health officer expressed to the State Council f Defense the belief that a genera1 epidemic is likely* to develop over the State and a resolution Was adopted by the. council to memorialize the legislature to provide funds at once to combat the contagion. Dr. Hayne's opinion is that, although officers at Camp Jackson have lifted the quarantine, no soldier should be allowed to come to Columbia unless he has firs' been cultured to determine if he is * carrier. The same opinion i*? held b\ Dr. Skottowe B. Fishburne, city health officer. Dr. Hayne has called en the public health department iN ?' i vi vaii; ?nr?i;v.-ant'i: UJ | expert in handling the .situation. Information has bet n received at the State health office from fiv points telling of new cases ard death from meningitis. Two of those arc at <?reor. One death and one cu. e ait reported from Society Hid. One pa tient died in Darlington and three carriers Uicre are under quarantine. One death is reported from Kstill and n case has developed at Hopkins Richland County. No new cases hav. developed in Columbia. Many Carry Germs. Quarantine was lifted in Columbia ^ yesterday on the last carrier. This was the wife of an officer. The. officer made application for a furlough Christmas, when the quarantine was atill on. When a culture was taken, he was found to be a carrier. It later developed that his wife was a carrier also. The wife of another officer from the supposedly free units at Camp Jack sen wan also under quarantine fcr a brief period last week, v/nen her husband was found to be a carrier. No cultures are now being made of men from the supposedly free areas at the cantonment and this! ^ if the contention botween city and ; State health officers at Camp Jack- ' ??on. Dr. Hay no emphasized that thousands of young men and young women will be travelling back to col leg- ' rs within the next few days and crowded trains afford splendid oppor uiniucs ior transmission of the frrrms.

Washington.?America's war aim: re regarded by the administration as having been sufficiently disclosed in President Wilson's reply to tht Pope's last peace proposal and in hireeent message to Congress. Consequently unless there are further developments in the pcucc propaganda set afoot by the Germans and Aus trians through their negotiation1 with the Russian Poslheriki, there is no intention on the part of the United States Government of attempting 10 elaborate or expand the statements of American purpose laid down in those documents. It in fully understood in Washington that there may be internal reason in Entente countries for making so:r" concession:; to certain powerful polit ical elements which are passing for another statement of the Entente's war aims. These consideration*, will he weighed and acted upon in the discrete -> 'T the governments of these countries. The decision involved is regarded of great importance because of tin possibility that divergent statement might afford the German plotters op portunity to weaken tie ties t'r.u' bind the Allies together. ?j- i ???? - - u+*Mm Could Not Eat or, Made Well By 1 Mr. William E.
