During 192fv a total of 500 cases wite reported ' ia this city with the death toll compara tively small. The most important step taken in tin war on tbe disease was the move in sev eral states- ia making sleeping sickness repertalde. This lias done in Massachusetts and New Vork. In York several health officials admit l hey are ujt against a baffling problem. tarfcftrs version as' ti) .tie source, ami ravages of the disease have leen offered. Ilealta Cufliiuismioner Coiclnnil, of New York, believes the disease is not conta gioas in 'the ordinary, sense. " This ia proved, " -he. dds, "by the fact that out of the 'total iniiulier of eases reported last year in .New York (Sty, only in two instances was a second case reported where one previously had been found. " Tbe commissioner point ed out, however, that the majority of eases Were reported on the lower Fast Side, indicating sleeping sickness might havs resulted from congested living ipmr ttn. ,Dr.'.aion Flexner, in a clinical paper recently, traced t lie origin of the disease in tata country to wis iii, lie eon tinued "It'ia possible to trace caws of leth argic r epidemic encephalitis now .-iris ing in. this country to an outbreak which occured in Vienna and neighboring parts of Austria in tbe winter of HHti. Cases occurred in England and Frame in lin early -months of 1918 aud in A m. ri.-.-i in the following year. In Austria the early eases were ascribed to sausage poisoning, in England to botulism arising from various -.foods. This error is not re laarkatds.

My wife, who could not sck a word of any language but Knglish, was taken from me. 1 did mil know whether she was in the same prison or what had become of her. I could not get n word of satisfaction from any of the prison ofticails. "There was .'l small peephole in the door 0 my cell which opened into the main corridor. This had a little slide over it and there was a sign in Russian warning the inmates of the cell that they would be placed in solitary confine meiit if they pecked out into t lit rri dor. "Many times a day footsteps passed the door. Sometimes there were light steps ami I imagined women were pass ing. To the horror of other men in the' cell with me, I occasionally moved the slide the least bit iu the hope of getting a glimpse of my poor wife.

I had companions in my old cell and there weren't any rats and gas there. 1 can't tell you how horrible it is to lie confined slone.
