WAKE FOREST PROFFE8SOR ISOLATES NEW OltGANIBM Wake Forest, Feb 6. ? Prof. Wal [ tor F. T^yior. professor of bacteri olorgjr in Wake Forest College, has | recently Isolated an organism never before reported In North America. The organism Is listed technically as bacillus columbense castellani, and was first discovered by Waldo Cas 1 tellani while working with British clinics in Columbus, Ceylon. The organism closely resembles that of typhoid fever, with symptoms ; the same as typhoid fever, except I Ing characteristic typhoid spots on the abdomen. There are only three leases of the disease on record and, these are pripted in German. Cas tellani reported one case in 1905 and two in 1913, _ I ? As yet very little Is known of the ^rganlHin and the disease which it I causes. It is very probable that the (disease has been common in this ?country for some time, but because | of its close resemblance to typhoid j fever, it has been mistaken for that i disease and treated In the same man ner. The disease will perhaps fur nish a new problem for the medical J profession In this country.

Wilson Had Hoped Write History Of The Great War Failure of United Stales Senate to Itatify League of Nations Covenant ISot the Only Thwarted Amihition of War President Whose Funeral Held Today ny ROIiRHT T. BMAM, Copyrlftit, 1924. by The Advance Miami, Fla., Feb. 6. ? The failure of the United States to en ter into the Leaifue of Nations was not Woodrow Wilson's only thwarted ambition. It was his aim and purpose to write a his tory of the World War. lie had written a history of the Ameri can people, which had been recognized as a standard work, and ! he felt himself competent above most other nien to write the in side story of the war. In one of his public addresses! he had said "with" the causes of ; the war we have no concern,"] but in all of his proposals for. I peace he nhowod that tho causa*! of the war had concerned him a great deal and were bound to be considered in the making of the peace. Tho writer had the privilege of first disclosing the fact that Mr. Wll-I Hon. after his retirement from the! White House, Intended to devote himself to a history of the world, struggle. Thin was early In 1 ktr . Later that year at a lunched* gl v#n, to the members of 4iie Democratic, committee at the White Hotise Mr. Wilson conflrmed tly report. He did this at a time when so iti e oi thvj committee ware insisting that he should stand for a third term. Mr. Wilson had no such intention, al-j though there were those who Insist ed. even after he was a helpless In- J valid, that he harbored the ambition to be the fl rat third term President; in th'* history of the United States. The blow which laid Mr. Wilson low unquestionably robbed the worbl of a great historic work. It would not have been much of a record of the military side of the war. Mr.. Wilson had no great Insight into that phase of the struggle. ? it often was remarked that In a discussion of the actual fighting. Da vid Lloyd Oeortro had a distinct ad vantage over all of the other world statesmen, including even "Tiger" , Clcmenceau himself. To Mr. Wilson fighting was but a necessary evil In the war. He stndh'd the war purely from the psychological or sentimental side and. from the moment America en tered the conflict, Mr. Wllsdn began! to talk about the points on which ? a peace would be considered. His disregard of the physical side. It was , often said In Washington, may have had considerable to do with the pro Ionization of the war. Mr. Wilson could not concern himself with the detail* of the airplane program. He knew little or nothing of the canton ments, of the condition or training of the men. It was difficult to in- | threat him on the shipping problems] which confronted the country. He ] may or may not have agreed with | Secretary of War Baker that It was J hot necessary to send a vast hum- 1 her of American soldiers to France, j While Mr. Wilson was making his notable addresses In this country on the basis of the peace. Great Britain sent word that she was fichtlnu with her back to the wall. Then, and not | until then, did a change come overj th? Washington Government. Up to this time Mr. Wilson had not visited a camp or a ship yard, or an airplane factory or a munition*] works. Those were phases of war | makjpK which did not interest htm. But suddenly Wilson, the man < f peace, became the man of force. Ho came out for force without limit, ! torce without stint. Despite his awakening to the Im- ? porta nee of the military side of war, Mr. Wilson felt that that part of lils-] tory could he well left to others. HU story of war in !ts effect upon hu manity, in Its rela'lonshlp to the his tory of the world, was to tell, as Mr. j Wilson could better than anyone els*, th?- real story Of the fight for peace, i Neither t,loyd George nor Orlando, nor Clemenceau has >?-t brought himself to the task of history. Wil son fifrd purposed to do It. Despite! his Illness he was reluctant for a long time to give up the task. H" had brought with him from Paris j more than two trunks full of docu ments. Home of these wer?> published later, but talking the authority and ; prestige of the ^Vlison name they j meant little Or nothing, ft* was ft] bitter official disappointment to Mi1. | Wilson to lose the League of Nation* | fight. It was a ureal personal dis appointment that he could not be-, come the historian supreme of the World War. # | Wilson Funeral Blending RitualsT wo Denominations Presbyterian MinUlrrs Former I'uflnM of I)eu?l Lender, and Episcopal Bi*)mp of !Mrs. W ilson's (llnircii. Show Mutual Spirit of Conciliation anil Co-operation It) .IOIIX .1. W. NKVIX Conyiiciil. 1324. by The Advice Washinnton, Fob. 6. ? Non-sectarian in every possible way was the funeral today of Woodrow Wilson. Pomp, fulsome eulo Kies, military display, muffled music and the usual accompani ? ments to the final rites over the exalted of earth were absent. Sim | plicity was the dominant note. The ' ritualistic requirements, of two Kreat religious faiths | were blended in the two services which marked the passage from view of the mortal remains of the war-time President. But only a part of each ? and that the most simple ? was used.! There was no clash of denomin-' at ions. The lalo President was one of tin not i?d elders of tho Presbyterian Church. His widow, whom- devotion to hint since h,? was stricken 1ms challenged tho admiration of the en tire world, is a communicant of tlo? Kplscopal Church. Rccause of this it was her desire that leaders in both great faiths should have a part in the final services. SuggeKtiona that this hardly ^was^ possible without a clash for suprem acy found no echo In the devoted ministers who were asked to offici ate. Instead the spirit of co-opera tion. displayed by Right Rev. James It. Freeman. Protestant Episcopal bishop of Washington, the Rev. James H. Taylor, pastor of the Cen tral Presbyterian Church here, where Mr. Wilson formerly worship ped. and by Rev. Sylvester W. | Reach, pastor of tho Princeton Presbyterian Church, or which the Wilson's were momhcf* when Mr. Wilson was governor of New Jer sey was wholehearted In every way. As a result of their conference, the services for the family and a very few Invited mourning friends at the home on S street consisted of the reciting of the 23rd Psalm by Dr. Taylor, prayer by Dr. Reach, and the reading of favorite passages from the late President's devotional book from which he used to read a loud to members of his family each evening before retiring. There was a division of the ser vice along similar lines at the Beth lehem Chapel of the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul, on Mount St. Alhan. where the last sad rites were conducted. There the hymns and the prayers were from the ritual of the Kpiscopal Church, sung by tie cathedral choir or read by Rlshop Freeman. The Rible lesson was read by Rev. Dr. Taylor who used the ilOth psalm and the closing hymn was that stirring tribute of | militant Christianity: "Now the Rattle's Over and the Victory Won." The benediction was pronounced by Ilishop Freeman. Thus there wan a complete division of the final rites among the officiating clergy of the two great denominations. The mortal remains of the former President rested yesterday in his home. And there, braving a cold rain that penetrated the heaviest of wraps and was swirled about the corners by a sharp Northeast wind, many men, women and even children gathered in the street to utter a silent prayer as they gassed across ac the big white door on which a bril liant floral wreath of yellow Jon 'lulls, mignonette and forsyt Ida, ! held together by yellowish crepe' sash, marked that the Angel of Death had passed. These flower*, placed there at Mrs. Wilson's own suggestion, were changed hourly. Sunday afternoon and Monday found the callers at the Wilson i home for the most part those who hold (daces In the Government, the, President and Mrs. Coolldge, the ; Cabinet, the leaders of busines.t, I ambassadors, ministers and others equally prominent. In accordance with the formalities they left curds as tokens of sympathy. These two days the sun shown and the air was balmy. Yesterday all this was changed. It was the average clt-j I sen of Washington who passed by. stopped for a moment or two to watch the house, usually with bowed j head and then passed on through the rain.
