Opposition from the Oerman gov9
ernraent to Dr. Frledmann's leaving
the tountiybfraring the secret of his
tuberculosis vaccine wss apparently
wholly withdrawn from the physician
a week ago surrendered to Prof.
Ehrltch, head of the German bacteriological
department, an allotment
_ Of his livo-gcrnx vaccine, and the
? government having rejected a teota1
tive proposition that it purchase the
^ remedy, decided to transfer his field
of experiments and treatments to
America.
Dr. Frledmann left Berlin last
? mtnt Aha win ne aboard the Kronprtnsessln
Cectle when she leaves
Bremen for New York tomorrow.
But the young woman who has figured
in the cable reports as a train
_ has freeW said has been his able asg
slstontvlf not. In fact. hia collabora8
tor. refused to accompany the physician
Lo America. He thereupon re?
talned pn American newspaper man
Jft to act ak-flhrHnterpreter, packed up
10 his belonging including the tubes
0 of the remedy, which .he claims as
0 one of the greatest discoveries of the
j* age, and left the capital.
,7 On his Journey to Ne* York he Is
_ backed by the reports of Ufilted
S States Consul-general Thackara or
Berl'n, who has offldaHy expressed
^confidence in^the genuine eharacter
10 of the Frledmann remedy, and has
10 forwarded to the 8tate Department a
!R paper prepared by the . jhysiclau
himself setting forth the history of
IK his experiments and exactly the rei0
suits he has achieved.
i0 Meanwhile, however, the $1,000,10

Is a question which none can answer
definitely. From a source usually
considered conservative it has been
stated that the number of dead is not
less than 2,000, while the total of
the wounded amounts to from 8,000
to 10,000. The great majority of
these are not soldiers but men, womta

that detachments of 50 and 100 men
