Detective methods had to be used to keep track of the four patients, all seamen. The detecting work was done by Dr. John F. Mahoney, who retired last week as medical director of the Venereal Disease Research Laboratory, U.S. Marine Hospital, Staten Island, N.Y., Dr. Richard C. Arnold, his successor, and Serologist Ad Harris. For the first few months after treatment, the seamen had been kept ashore, and on call. But for almost two years of wartime service they were all over the bounding main and in many a disease-ridden liberty port...

Around the world, preaching salvation in 102 languages, there are only some 125,000 all told in the hosts of the late General William Booth. But like Joshua's army at Jericho, they multiply their strength by sheer ubiquity. Their coffee-&-doughnuts campaign in World...
