FIGHT WAGED ON FLIES

Drs. Woodward and Murray Both
Think Conditions Here Are
Great Deal Better.

That health conditions in Washington
this summer will show marked improve

being waged on the fly is the belief of
DIR. William c. Woodward, health officer
of the District. and DR.. Arthur L. Muir
ray, formerly of the health department,
who has directed The Stars anti-fy cam
paigns.
Fewer cases of typhoid fever were re-
ported last year, this showing, in the
opinion Of both DR.. Woodward and DR..
Murray, being largely the result of the
reduced fly population Of that season.
This year there are fewer of the disease
spreading insects than ever. and health
authorities are hopeful that the diseases
which they convey will show u CORE
spending reduction.
DR.. Murray is receiving daily requests
for copies of The Stars Prevent the

to the importance of waging a relentless
war on the insect.

Eleanor Gates said in Boston:

"One morning, in her white serge

Some of these remained ashore, but
many were taken aboard the steam
ers. So far as can be learned none
of the refugees was injured.
Places Occupied.
The postoffice, government tele-
graph Office and the cable office were
the first buildings occupied after the
customs house. A squad of marines
was placed in charge of the cable Of

intact, and enough Mexican operators
were retained to man the lines to Mex

After General Mas had been driv-

the Americans found themselves the
object of fusillades from the tops of
houses, where small groups of SOL

later that the greater part of those
engaged in this resistance, were civil

customs house and a large section of
Vera Cruz with a loss of four killed
and 20 wounded. The loss of the Mex.
lean garrison, is not officially known
here, but is estimated at 200 killed.
This was the first step in the program
of reprisal by the United States
against the Huerta government for the
arrest Of American bluejackets at
Tampico and other offenses against
the rights and dignity of the United
States"
1t was the first clash between forces
of the United States and Mexico since

republic in 1910 and gave the Wash

lem.
Fire Only in Defense.
The American forces orders are to
fire only to defend themselves. The
United States intends to take no Of
fensive steps for the present.
The salute to the flag which Huerta
refused will not be satisfactory repa-
ration. 1t is understood a declaration
of apology as well as a salute as a
guarantee that the rights and dignity
of the United States will be respected

can forces.
