vented unless the Italians who were on the steam
ship Massilia are attacked with the disease. THE
Italians will be hunted up tomorrow and
watched" he added. There is no occasion for
alarm at present, and the Health Board will
spare no effort TO protect the public.

Massa took the Russian Hebrews aboard at
Narseilles after they had been kicked nb1nt over
| Europe and Asia. They came from the famine
stricken districts Of Russia. and undoubtedly had
the germs Of tie disease III them. They We're Il
mise. able lot. afflicted in mind and body. There
were three deaths on the voyage, which w1s -
long one. but they were all from other than e. m
tagiOus diseases. | think but am not certain
that they were from pneumonia. Those deaths
were reported to the official at Quar- ntinc when
the Massilia arrived. Among the Italians whom
we brought over on the SImr steamer there WIS
no sickness. The Massilia il new steamer and
made her first trip in May. There were three
cases Of typhoid fever on the vessel on the way
