Medicines S Day

The Commencement exercises of the
Training School for Nurses of Union
Hospital was held on Wednesday
morning in the Elkton Opera House
and brought together large audience.
The program was followed as publish
ed in last weeks WHIG, and diplomas
were presented to Misses Alice Mary
Denver, Stella Sanbourn Graves, Mary
Turner King and Georgia May Miller.
pr Joseph c. Bloodgood, of the
Johns Hopkins University, who made
the commencement address, spoke
again in the afternoon at the same
place to another large audience, on
The Control of Cancer"
The object o fthis lecture and SINH
lar ones by medical men to popular
audiences, is to increase the popular
intelligence as to certain needed con-
tributions on their part to health and
life. DR.. Bloodgood especially en-
phasized the fact that cancer is not a
blood disease; is not contagious and
need not be fatal if diagnosed and
treated in its early stages. Hence
the importance of having an exami-
nation made by a physician when a
persistent sore develops, or a wart,
or mole or lump. A simple operation
at the early stages may, and in most
cases will prevent the development of
the dread malady. The lecturer was
heard with deep interest and profit by
the audience.

such land, the owners must file with
the board a plat and the plans for
supplying the tract with water and
sewerage service. If these are not
satisfactory, the board may order the
owner or owners to install such a sys-
tenn of water and sewerage service as
it may deem proper. This power ex-
tends even to the case where one man
builds row of small houses for sale
or rent.
If the Health Board can carry out
all these new laws and enforce all
their provisions, typhoid ought soon

FRANCE PLACES
SMALL LOAN HERE
Gets $1O,OOO,OOO Credit
from Syndicate of
Local Banks.

The French government, Il was
learned last night, has completed ar
engagements with the National City
Bank as the head of New York bank
ing syndicate for loan OF Sl0O00,0OO.
The loan will be In the form of credit
established here against which France
will draw for purchases OF food sup
plies, cotton and other non-contraband
articles.
The agreement provides that there
will be no actual purchase Of French
securities for money. IL was under
stood, however, that the interest re-
quired by the lending banks will net
them approximately 5i2 per cent.
While the name Of the National City
Bank was the only one connected with
the loan yesterday it was understood
that other banks would participate, IN
view of the provision of the national
bank act which prevents any national
bank from ending in a single issue an
amount in excess of 10 per cent OF lS
capital and surplus.
j. z. Morgan q Co., who in August
sounded the State Department on a
loan of 500, 100000 TO the French gov
eminent on terms similar TO the one
Just completed, would not participate
in the present loan, 1t was stated by a
member of that firm. II was said that
the Morgan firm had not been officially
notified of a change in the attitude OF
the Secretary of state on the matter
! of loans to bellIgerent countries, and
that until such notification had been
received there would be no departure
| from the present policy Of non-partci-
patton i'm foreign financing.
In view of the more liberal policy
l.. . L. Ia N % d
connection with the rendering Of as
sis.ance to bclligerent powers since
.he failure of the Morgan loan nego-
tons, however, the conclusion was
reached that the loan arranged with
the National City Bank would not be
openly opposed by the State Depart
ment.
This is the first war loan that has
been placed in the United States since
the outbreak OF hostilitics. Reports
have been current from time TO time
of the efforts Of other countries 20
obtain money here, but none OF them
succeeded. Among these were the ncu-
trail nations of Italy and Switzerland.
GermanA through inter uonal bank
ers with German connections, has also
tried TO get money here, but so Tar has
been unsuccessful
Il was announced ldSl moulh INA.
trance had raised temporary loan Of
S1O.OOO.000 i'm London by an issue Of
treasury bills'through the Rothschilds,
who placed them privately on per
cent intercSt basis.
II is held by several authorities on
international law that the lending Of
money by persons in neutral countries
is not a violation of neutrality, al
though the older writers took the OPP
posite view. During the Franco-Ger-
man war J. ?. Morgan d Co. raised a
war loan for France in England, and at
the same time the English bankers
raised a large loan for the North Ger
man Confederation, and neither was
regarded as un-neutral.
