Rico. therefore. requested the assis-
tance OF the Public Health and Ma
rine Hospital Service because of the
recognized experience of this corps in
plague warfare. Assistant Surgeon r.
H. Creel. an officer of great deld and

Plague Area Extended.
Plague had manifested itself by hu-
man death in the towns OF San Juan.
San Turce. Carolina. Lola, Arroyo. and
Dorado. This really represents quite
an extensive area The heaviest in
fection, however. has been found in the
two most thickly populated portions
Of San Juan Puerto de TERRA, and San
Turce. and the work is, therefore, To-
cused on these points.
How do you fight plague? To fight
plague you must not only wage a wal
of absolute determination upon the rat
but you must also trace the disease
among the rodent population and preven,
its being transmitted to man.
To exterminate the rodents you mus,
take into consideration every single fac.
tor of their existence.
The first thing is to cut of the rat &
food supply. This implies a clean house
hold both inside and outside. 1t does
not mean that the remnants Of the meals

Plague has appeared for the FIRST time
upon the eastern borders Of the United
States. The nearest point from which
the disease has heretofore approached
our Atlantic and Gulf seaboards is the
Azores. But now 1t has found LODGE
ment In Porto Rico. where 1t has already
caused over forty-two cases and score
CT deaths. and In Havana, Cuba. where
dc zen persons have been attacked ana
several deaths have occurred.
Plague, then. is on our doorstep. And
now I am going to indicate measures
which are being taken to prevent 1t from
crossing the threshold.
The cities on the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts, realizing that an absolute quar-
antine against rats, without the prohib-
ition of commerce, is almost an i'm
possibility, have begun the work Of ex-
amining their rodent population for
plague. All vessels from San Juan and
Havana bound for the United States are
thoroughly fumigated and every known
measure taken to prevent their bringing
rats into our ports. Crusades against
rats are also under way in the threat
ened cities.
I cannot prophesy what United States
say which will be the first to suffer from
the incursion Of the plague. Indeed, 1t
is to be hoped that the timely warning
that has been given and the manifold
precautions that have been taken will
serve to protect US. But in the mean
time II is the duty of every port having
marine communications with other coun-
tries which are plague Infected to be-
gin at once to rid itself of rats, and to
Il f. 49,. l.
fected rats be imported, they-wil have
no opportunity to enter human dwellings
and spread the disease through the trans
ference Of their fees to man.
Precautions Doubled.
When the plague was reported in
Porto Rico the Public Health and Ma
rine Hospital Service of the United
States at once doubled its precautions
in order to prevent this ancient dis
ease from gaining access to our East
ern and Southern ports. Our expe-
rience with the disease in California
has demonstrated the fact that II ia
only by measures of the utmost
promptitude and efficiency that such
diseases can be successfully eradicated.
Therefore Assistant Surgeon S. B.
Grubbs. who was already in Porto
Rico as chief quarantine officer. i'm
mediately put into operation the ma
chinery which is used to prevent the
disease from leaving an infected port.
This embodies a thorough outgoing
quarantine, which means that all ships
are fumigated after discharging a car
go; that they are be loaded from light
er, and that the only freight that can
be shipped Is that which has been GER
titled as having originated and having
been stored in ratproof surroundings
only.
Plague is carried to man from the
heas OF infected rats. So II We can
prevent the transportation of rats from
infected ports into noninfected ports.
we can prevent the shipment of plague
from stricken territory into clean COM
munities.
The situation in Porto Rico finally
became so acute that It was soon seen
that more exhaustive measures must
be taken. The government Of Porto

A Successful Interview,

From the Saturday Evening Post
The late Arthur McEwan when he was
working on San Francisco newspaper
was attracted by the activities Of a poll
tician who was vulgar. illiterate, and
hideously ungrammatical in his method of
expression. McEwan looked up this man
and had talk with him. Then he went
back to the Office and wrote the inter-
view In the most perfect English, bril-
liant, polished. and crammed the story
full OF classical illusions, quotations,
and big words. 1t was a most scholarly
production and McEwan considered The
