The War Department will make a
thorough investigation OF the sani-
itary conditions in and around the
Jamestown Exposition, and an army
medical officer has been sent to the
scene for that purpose. We do not be-
lieve in government ,meddling, but the
United States government is a part
rer. SO to speak. with the jamestown
Exposition Company. and has the
right to insist that every sanitary pre-
caution be taken to preserve the health
of government employees and visitors.
The success Of the exposition Is In
volved. II an epidemic OF fever or
other diseases should break out in
that part Of the peninsula, the expo
sitton would be doomed. There is no
sufficient reason for such q calamity.
The exposition site Is by nature q
health resort, and visitors will be
benefited by the salt air II the rules
OF scientific sanitation be observed.
The subject is one of profound i'm
portance to the management.

In the bed OF rushing river.
Where the dancing wavelets play,
Sheltered and green and lonely,
A little island lay.
Washed by the foaming current,
Tapping Its reeds among.
From tn the ocean mist far-fung.
Here, in the centuries bygone.
Our fathers broke the sod,
Planting the cross as a standard'
IE the wilderness rearing an altar
Which should serve to the end OF
To gather the souls OF the heather
To the fold of the Lord divine.
Before that shrine. low-bending.
A princess came to bow;
The symbol OF conservation
Was placed on her royal brow:
On his head her own head laid.
And savage Justice granted
The prayer OF the indian maid.
Three hundred years have vanished
In the gloom of time remote,
On the breast OF the noble river
A thousand barges float
Our mother-land Is calling
Her sons from far and near,
To gather around the altar
Their fathers hallowed here.
They are coming. the answer Is ringing
From mountain to sea-girt strand,
And the message an echo awakens
In many an allen land.
From the farthermost line OF our bor-
ders
They will gather, rehearsing anew
The deeds OF the brave, the high-
hearted
Who to God and their country were
true.

man Of high English order, Secretary
