SHIPMENT
DELAYED BY SH|F 7
Sent to Philippines
Merely Filling Old Order,
Declares Garrison.

The United States is not shipping
ammunition to the Philippines as a
preparation for war. as indicated by a
San Francisco dispatch today, but mere
1y to fill an order that was delayed in
the confusion incident to the change in
Administrations.
This statement was made by Secre-
tary of War Garrison this morning
The San Francisco report was to the
effect that the transport Sheridan,
scheduled to sail for the Philippines TO-
day, carried shipment of 5000. 900
rounds of cartridges. 10000 pounds of
gun cotton. and several thousand pounds
of artillery ammunition.
The secrecy attending the loading Of
the ammunition on the transport led to
conjectures that the army was engaged
in preparing for eventualities that might
follow the passing of the alien land bill
in the California Legislature. a measure
distinctly displeasing to Japan.
Secretary Garrison declares that this
ammunition was ordered during Secre-
tary Stimson's administration and re-
auisitions then drawn for its shipment,
but a delay was encountered in the
shifts in office. The Secretary said
there was nothing unusual in the size
of the shipment, and that no significance
whatever alta ched to its being sent at
the present time.

Former Sergeant John Walsh, Off

signature of President Wilson. Walsh
declared that he is "a rank Democrat, -

Walsh is plodding his way westward

days.
Walsh started out at one time to

RELIEF FROM INSECT
\ PESTS IS IN SIGHT
They're Lice, Says Bug Expert,
But Cheer Up! They Don't
Stick, and Will Soon Go.

Washington soon will have relief
from the swarms of insect pests that
have made life a burden for pedestrians
on the downtown streets for several
days This is the verdict of DR.. l. ..
Howard, chief of the Bureau of Ensp-
moiogy of the Department of Agricul-
ture. who knows all there is to know
about bugs-that is, insects.
Though there have been many ram
dom euesses as to the species OF lhis
pes. BY walking Washingtonians Hho
and evaporation for two or three days,
IL remained for DIR. Howard to explain
that they are neither the young OF the
ordinary fly just sprouting wings. nor
enats. nor any other familiar varisty;
They are. he says, lice. But you need
not be frightened. They will not stay
with you. They are plant lice, and
they are due for a woeful thinning nGt
- as soon as their natural and parasitic
enemies get on the job In good mum, num-
usual, because long-continued Aprfi
rains kept down the other insects that
prey upon them
Tiny Fly Their Enemy.
The principal enemy OF this pest is
a tiny little fly with a tremendous Latin
name. II is much smaller even than
the lice. and is purely a parasite. 1t
feeds upon the body Of the lice and
kills them. These little parasites were
kept in subjection by the rain spell,
heavy moisture keeping them from fly
INF to ,;a their Tn victims. inn numerous breed
on the shade trees Of the District, DR..
Howard says. principally upon the Sill
yer or soft maple, which they inhabit In
great numbers. Once the vitality Of a
plant louise Is gone the little parasites
forsake II for new victim.
Lean Person Has Advantage.
Many who have fought desperately.
swinging both arms and praying for
vengeance against the myriads that
danced in their faces. have recalled the
Egyptian plague and Pandora for So
luton, but In vain. The pest has been
fiy. Including a whole list Of names
that cannot be printed: but there Is one
fact that stands out. and that is, these
are the days when the thin person has
something on his stout brother. for he
has less tempting surface exposed
There is no defense against the pest,
in home. Office or street car, for IL
swarms everywhere in the city, cast
about about at the vasaries Of passing
yesterday afternoon complained bitterly
whea the swarm was at its worst, that
there was even no joy in assaulting
them. for they were SO easily killed.
Divers Helmet Only Refuge.
He was intent upon the scoreboard at
the time. and gave no heed to the fact
that II was far better to brush them
Off lightly than to swat them on ones
collar or face. He had swatted un-
mercifully, and the side Of his face |
and collar bore streaked evidence Of
hts power of destruction.
Entomoiogists do not regard the
swarm seriously, and they declare 1t
soon will be gone, but in the meantime
divers helmet offers the only refuge
and real comfort
The pest has made conversation for |
thousands and has made brothers Of |
all men who walked the streets, gasp

. HELP PROTECT
BABIES
Bulletins Issued Show Hygiene
for Children and Advocate
Municipal Assistance.

WASHINGTON. June 19.-What
the American cities are doing and can
do toward preventing infant mortal
ity and the high death rate of chill
dren under 5 years of age is the sub
ject of a bulletin just issued by the
children's bureau. 1t is the purpose
of this Government bureau to issue
a similar bulletin annually and in
time to make it a complete manual
for municipal and philanthropic ac-
tivities in the direction of child well
fare.
Babies die of diseases which to a
large extent are preventable. In GER
tain large cities such as New York
and Philadelphia the result of syste-
matte summer baby saving cam
paigns has been shown in a reduc-
ton of between 80 and 40 per cent in
the deaths of children under years
of age in the wards where the work
was concentrated.
1t is estimated that baby nursed
by its mother has approximately ten
times the chances to live that a bot
tie fed baby has. All welfare work
ers encourage mothers to carry out
this most important material duty.
A constantly increasing number Of
cities of all sizes are establishing
milk stations and dispensing milk,
whether pure whole milk, certified,
modified, pasteurized or sterilized
milk to mothers of babies that must
be bottled.
Municipalities are Just beginning to
awaken to the importance of prena-
tai care and to understand that much
of the waste of infant life is due to
causes that were operative before the
baby was born Some cities have a
special maternity nurse who gives all
her time to these cases; other cities
direct the general nurses to take
charge of them.
The value of training school girls
who are caretakers of little children
in the care of babies is regarded as
of immense Importance, the organi-
cation of the Little Mother
Leagues" or Little Mother Glasses"
forms an important part of the well
fare work in most large cities.
The house fly as a death distribu-
tor the bulletin points out, is only
recently receiving the attention it de-
serves. Flies carry infection not only
to exposed milk but directly to the
babys mouth, or to the nipple of its
bottle. Insistence upon screens for the
babys rooms and for the baby's bed
is a part of the campaign against
| infant mortality; and the work
should go even further than this and
should include the destruction of flies
by every known method and removal
of the breeding places.
Attention to housing conditions, to
the thorough watering of the streets,
and to the question of fresh air and
/ ventilation is urged.
In conclusion the bulletin advises
the city health officials to establish
continuous graphic statement of
the births and deaths of babies kent
| by means of different colored pine to
be placed day by day on a city ward
map, and to thus keep informed as
to the special points of dangers: and
urges prompt registration of births in
order that the baby may be brought
under observation as soon as posi-
