Y. M. C. A. FACES HOUSING
PROPOSITION IN PARIS NOW
(By Associated Press)
Probably the biggest problem that
the Young Men's Christian Associa-
tion has to face in the city of Paris
is the housing of soldiers who flock
to Paris in thousands for 24 to 48
hours' leave. Every American boy
who comes to France is eager to see
the city of Paris, and the prices of
accommodation at the French hotels
is beyond the possibilities of their-
slender purses. The Y. M. C. A. has
several hotels where they can go and
for one franc a night can get a bed
and a shower. Meals are served at
cost.

"DISEASES TO FOLLOW
WAR1" SAYS VGH
GREATEST DANGER LIES IN THE
SPREAD OF VENEREAL
INFECTION
"Infectious diseases will increase in
our country for the next two or three
years," Col. Victor C. Vaughan of the
medical department of the University
stated in an address given yesterday
afternoon in the Natural Science audi-
torium. "We are going to have re-
crudescence after recrudescence of
influenza for at least two years. We
shall have typhus here, as well as a
number of other diseases."
Waves of Infection Expected
"Waves of infection have followed
other great world wars of history.
From their, conquests the Greeks
brought malaria home with them. Aft-
er the Franco-Prussian war Germany
had more than 100,000 cases of small-
pox. In our own Spanish-American
war, the epidemics in camp were fol-
lowed, as the men were demobiliz-
ed, by scattered outbursts over the
country."
"Today many of our men are coin-
ing home infested with lice, and we
shall have typhus and relapsing fev-
er here. Trench fever is already wide-
spread in Great Britain. Our greatest
danger, however, will come in the
spread of venereal disease."
Colonel Vaughan, who is also the
dean of the Medical school, has had
charge of the bureau of communica-
ble diseases in the office of the sur-
geon general. Aside from venereal
infection, the greatest danger in this
present war, he stated, has been from
the acute respiratory diseases. This
was anticipated, for it was pneumonia
that had given General Gorgas the
greatest trouble at Panama.
Scientifie Film Shown
"The recent influenza crept into
this country through Boston," he
said. "It was expected in America,
and from last August on, every pre-
caution was taken at the seacoast. But
at last it appeared in the training
ships in Boston harbor, whence it
spread to Camp Devens, and then
quickly over the country. In camps
influenza ran like wildfire, but it mov-
ed more slowly through the civil pop-
ulation. For this reason repeated epi-
demics are expected."

Health of Army Excellent Says Gorgas
Washington, Dec. 6.-The health of
the American army, both at home and
overseas, has been excellent, and the

his annual report made public to-
day. Complete statistics of deaths in
army camps are not included in the
report which covers only the fiscal
year to June 30, 1918.

000 major casualties, including kilied

disease, or other causes, severely
wounded and missing, have not yet
been finally reported to next of kin.
Errors in minor casualties are much
larger, it was added.
