AGAINST CHOLERA
By The United Press.

BY The United Press.
LONDON, July Stringent pre-
cautions against the cholera are be-
ing adopted today by the British port
authorities.
English cholera experts declare that
the menace is worldwide, principally
owing to the attitude Of the Italian
Government. in permitting the scat
tering of the infection everywhere
rather than admit the presence and
extent of the epidemic for fear that Il
would brighten away tourists. The
Italian censorship permits nothing to
go over the telegraph lines regarding
the cholera.
English newspapers are oyernowlng
with vituperation against the Italian
Government for its conduct in allow
ing such a grim spectre to get be
yond the border and menace other
lands. through sheer greed and com
mercialism."
