TEUTONIC DIPLOMATS VIRTUAL? LY CONCEDE DISASTER. Other Men haut Submarines Will Cat ry on Overseas Underwater Coin Wsshtngton, Oct. 19.?Loss of the Gorman submarine merchantman Bremen virtually was conceded to? day by ranking Teutonic diplomats in position to be familiar with the movement of the vessel. The Bremen Is one month overdue. It was admitted that German offi? cials were without information as to the fate of the Bremen. All they know is that she set out for America from Bremerhaven and that sha should have arrived at an American port soon after the middle of last month. The disappearance of the Bremen 3111 not cause abandonment of the roject to send merchant submarine? regularly from Germany to the United States, It was said. There ap? peared to be reason to expect that another sub-sea freighter, either the Deutschland or some other, would reach an American port some time within the next month. German officials in Washington do not believe the Bremen could have fallen Into the hands of the British unless t he had some accident to her machinery. They pointed out that, unlike naval submarines, merchant submarines avoid all localities fre? quented by shipping and therefore are not open to the same risks. Reports that the Bremen had arriv? ed safely in New London were pub? lished In newspapers In Germany more than two weeks ago. The Bremen was commanded by Capt. Schwarkopf and carried a crew of approximately 26 men. One official said It was considered most likely that the Bremen had mot the fate of several naval submarines which had nev< being In detention camps of the allies. It is presumed that they had some ! accident. Another argument advanced In support of this theory was that the Bremen had aboard a number of Im? portant documents for the German embassy here which probably would have been made public had they fallen into ths hands of the British. CONFIRMS BREMEN'S LOSS. Telegram From Name City Says Mer? chant Submarine is Regarded as London. Oct. 20.?An Exchange Telegraph company dispatch from Amsterdam says that a telegram re? ceived there from Bremen confirms the report that ths German Ocean Navigation company, has received no news from the commercial submarine Bremen and that she la regarded as lost. Great anxiety prevails among the families of the crew, virtually all of whom reside In Bremen, and It Is expected difficulty will be experienced in obtaining crews for other commer? cial submarines which may under? take trans-Atlantic voyages. According to this Information, the sailing of the Deutschland on another voyage across the Atlantic has been cancelled. BALK AT BULL MOOSE BALLOTS.

Baltimore, Oct. 17.?The myst surrounding the cause of the sp: made tonight at Johns Hopkins hos? pital. Extensive research conducted by Dr. Horace T. Burrows, pathologist of the hospital, has resulted in the discovery of the infantile paralysis germ, . the existence of whuA was established nine years ago by ur. Simon Flexner, of the Rockefeller institute. According to Dr. Burrows, the dis? ease is not spread by contagion, but the germ is Introduced into the hu man system through the mouth In milk or water. "Always in every case of the dis? ease a germ has been found in the big 'intestine showing that the disease is spread by some raw food. That that food is milk or water is established by the fact that babies, whose only diet has been milk and water, died of the disease. I Dr. Burrows and his assistants, un? der the direction of Prof. Wm. H. Welch, have been making autopsies upon every victim of the disease since July. They have conducted a care? ful microscopic search. Of the diseased organs It has been found that the germ occurs only in the colon. The investigations prove that 100 per cent, are infected in the big intestine. Since It Is only possible for the germ to enter the big intestine by way of the mouth, food and drink must be the carriers. This discovery demonstrates for the first time clearly that raw food con? tains the germ of infantile paralysis. he Investigators are so certain that this Is true and that there is no other way for the disease to be con? tracted that they suggest that the quarantine be raised against personal contact and that all raw foods, such as milk, waters, fruits, etc., be Bteri li/.od, boiled or cooked before being given to children or others. The Investigators found that house flies and other insects undoubtedly help to spread tho germ from one food to another. This discovery is the first one that has been given out officially by Johns Hopkins hospital before It has been published in a recognized medical journal. This rule is broken for the first time In order to clear up the mystery sur? rounding the disease as quickly as possible and In order to allow the schools to open and business to go on as usual. The find was not made by accident, but aH a result of u painstaking re? search. The spread of the disease Is so much like that of typhoid fever and its methods of communication that the in? vestigators are sure they have hit upon a way to make an antl-pollomyc Iltis vaccine like tho anti-typhoid vac? cine that stamped out typhoid In the.

Cambridge, Mass., Oct. 30.?Hugo Muen8terberg, professor of psychol? ogy at Harvard University, in an ad? dress tonight before the International Political Club, of the university, as? serted that he had been reliably in? formed that ivussia and Germany would sign terms of a separate peace before spring, and that after this peace there would be an alliance be? tween Germany, Russia and Japan. "I know from reliable sources," he said, "that Russia is out of joint, is half bankrupt, is starving and will be ready for a separate peace before ( spring. The result is to be an alll | ance between Germany, Austria, Rus | sla and Japan. Japan and Russia arc pushing toward this combination and j an overwhelming majority of the Ger l man people would welcome it today, j "It is the old Bismarcklan tradition that Germany ought to be the friend of Russia and that such an alliance would be her surest protection. "If we really want to bring peace for a generation there Is no hope but to bring Germany and England to an understanding before Germany and Russia have made peace and formed an alliance. Neither the English nor the German people want this peace to? day, but they ought to want it, for once the new alliance is formed it will seek to crush the ambition of England for world power. "Some neutral groups in Europe are socking to bring about this under? standing between Germany and Eng? land. Yet real success can be expect? ed only if the government or the United States undertakes this master work/' Cliaracterlzes Statement of Hughes Too Absurd to Be Worthy of No? tice. Elmira, N.
