JEPS(jI|
Urges Vaccination as the Only
Weapon with Which to
Fight SmaIIpax.

In an exhaustive treatise on SMALL
pox, DR.. s. L. Jepson of Wheeling,
secretary OF the state board of health,
urges In a special edition of the state
health board bulletin, just Issued
that vaccination be made the only
weapon in lighting smallpox in this
state.
In the article DR.. Jepson treats OF
the merits of vaccination exhaustive
ly, showing that vaccination, abso-
lutely will prevent smallpox. He re-
fers also to the great prejudice
against vaccination which prevails In
this state and suggests to 1ealth of !
ficers that this is missionary field In
which they can lanor.
In referring to The recent out
break of smallpox in this state, DR..
Jepson says that 1t was the most
mild epidemic he has ever seen. For
that reason he regarded 1t as more
dangerous than an outbreak of sever
smallpox. This, the article explained
lis because in mild forms of the dis
ease persons are out and in contact
with others after the disease is sever
al days old, while with severe cases
they are confined to bed almost FROM
the first. With mild form Of the
disease many. also, reputable physi-
clans are misled and call the disease
chickenpox. This gives 1t further
opportunity to spread.
lnasmuch as vaccination will pre-
vent smallpox. DR.. Jepson believes
that the expense and trouble of strict
quarantine is Unnecessary. He sug-
gests that houses where the disease
prevails should merely be placarded,
the well members OF the family, il
properly vaccinated, be permitted to
come and go at will and that the pub
lie be informed that protection IRON
the disease through vaccination will
be given.

ANCIENT EMPIRE
Is Now Partly under Control Of
Great Britain as Result of
Success on Euphfates.

Correspondence OF Associated Press).
LONDON. Dec. 2S-In the excite
ment of army and navy actions nearer
home, the British public seems to
have overlooked the important sue
cess secured by the Anglo-Indian
force on the Euphrates. which gives
British sway over a part of the
ancient Babylonian empire.
With the capture of Basra and
the surrender OF Kurna, the British
become masters of the Persian gull
and the whole of the Euphrates del
ia.
This region had been brought un-
der Germany's sphere OF influence
and the English believe that the Bag
dad railway was intended for strateg-
ical as well as commercial purposes.
With a vassal Turkey. there would
have been a clear road from Vienna
to the. Guf. If this road had been
developed and Teutonic infiueSce in
creased, the Gulf would have given
Germany an excellent base Of opera
tions against India.
While the future of Asia Minor Is
not yet settled. i is. not likely that
Britain will removesits colors from
the ruins of the city OF Babylon.

FRENCH WAR OFFICE
CLAIMS MORE PROGRESS
tsy ASSOCIATED reEss,

PARIS, Dec. 2S.-An official state
ment given out by the French war
office this afternoon reads as follows:
in Belgium we have continued to
advance. To the west of Lombaert-
zyde we are actually at the foot of the
sand dunes on which the enemy has
established his line of resistance. At
the point south of Ypres we have lost
a section of trenches near Hollbeke.
In the region of Lens, near Carenzy,
the enemy yielded under our attacks
500 yards of first line trenches In
the valley of the river Aisne and in
Champagne there has been intermit-
tent artillery fighting which was par
ticularly severe in the vicinity OF
Rheims and around Perthes. Here
the enemy directed their artillery fire
especially against the positions to the
west OF Perthes, conquered and occu-
pied by us. On the heights OF the
Mouse there has been slight progress
by our troops along the entire front.
liz the Vosges the enemy bombarded
the railroad station at ST. Die, but
the railroad service has not been in
terrupted In upper Alsace, north
east OF Steinbach, counter attack
of the Germans was repulsed."

IS THE WOLF
TO SOLDIERS
On BattIefieIds Of East Prussia

Russian Officers Letter.

Correspondence OF Associated Press).
PETRoGRAD. Dec. 2S.-The pres
ence of the wolf as new. terror on
the battlelelds of East Prussia and
Poland, Is described in letter sent
by a Russian officer to a Riga news
paper.
Wounded in an engagement which
had driven the Germans from their
trenches he found himself later to be
the only living soul left on the field
of dead. Pulling himself together,
and leaning on his sword he walked
as best he could toward the supposed
shelter OF his comrades in the woods.
Just as l reached the edge Of the
wood" he says. 81 stopped in terror.
From the distane there anne the
bowling Of wolf. It sounded unut-
terably melanholy and dreadful in the
still autumn night. Another wolf
answered, in the same long-drawn,
dismal note. The bowling drew
nearer; presently I heard it all
around me, without pause, growing
louder and more exultant every mo-
|ment.

ed to fight as long as could. had
my loaded revolver and my. sword.
The wolves came nearer, and their
bowling filled the night. Now they
were at the border of the woods. In
the darkness1 could see dim shadows
moving slowly between the trees.
las they came out of the wood from
different directions they drew togeth-
err into zone great dark herd and stood
thus for some minutes. Then another
wolf howled-from somewhere out on
the battlefield, and all at once the
pack began to move. Without haste
in little deliberate trot they went
past me, past the very .clump O.,
bushes where was sitting with
drawn revolver. Not one turned
toward me. watched each one as he
went by, expecting that he would
spring at me. don't know how
many there were, but there were very
many-all trotting so quietly to the
field where the dead bodies were
lying.

GERMAN STATEMENT OF

BERLIN, by wireless to London,
Dec. 2S.-The German army head
quarters staff today issued the follow
ing statement:
"In the western theater the enemy
unsuccessfully renewed his attacks
on Newport supported by warships
which did no damage to us but killed
or wounded few inhabitants OF
Westende. An attack on the hamlet
of st. George also failed. South Of
Ypres we captured one of the enemy's
trenches and some dozens of pris-
oners fell into our hands on this oc-
casion Several violent attacks by
the enemy in the region northwest of
Arras we're repealed. To the south
east Of verdun the enemy repeated
his attacks but they also were without
success. A similar result occurred
when he attempted to recapture a
height west OF Senheim for which we
fought yesterday.
There was no news from East
Prussia or from Poland. North OF the

Vistula our attacks are developing

ABSURD STORIES
About the Caste Habits Of the
Indian Soldiers Will Make
Trouble at the Front.

Correspondence Of Associated Press).
LONDON, Dec. 2S.-Absurd stories
about the caste habits OF the Indian
soldiers will make trouble at the front,
says General O'Moore Greagh.
One correspondent wrote that the
Ghurkas had been given special
dispensation to eat beef and drink
porter, like the British soldiers. Moth
ing could be worse insult to the
Ghurka, says General Greagh.
The British press has lavished It's
praise almost entirely on the Ghurkas
and Silks. to the neglect of other
fighting castles. There are, for in
stance, three regiments of Dogras,
who, although OF poor physique, are
the coolest under fire of any of the
native soldiery. Some of the best
fighting Indians are the Punjab Mo-
hammedans.
A popular mistake is that the Ghur-
kas throw their kukrlm or carved
knife, at the enemy. They do not
throw 1t, but use 1t so skillfully that
they can behead a buffalo calf at a
single blow.

.ALASKANS ARE
MADE THRIFTY.
And Civilized by the Reindeer
Industry, Says Bureau Of
Education Bulletin.

civilized and thrifty men, says tho
United States Bureau Of Education In
a bulletin just issued.
The reindeer industry began In
Alaska in 1892 when the Bureau of
Education imported from Siberia III
reindeer The object OF the importa-
ton, according to the bulletin, was to
furnish a source OF supply for food
and clothing to the Eskimos in the
vicinity OF Boring Strait. This inn
portation was continued until 1902.
and a total of 1880 reindeer were
drought from Siberia. There are now
1926 reindeer distributed among
sixty-two herds, and 30.532 of these
are owned by the natives.
This industry has given to the
Alaskan Eskimos not only food and
clothing, but means OF transporta-
ton superior to dog teams. Instead
OF being nomadic hunters eking out a
precarious existence on the vast I'M
timbered lands OF the Arctic coast

reindeer to any person other than q
native of Alaska" This is done, the
bulletin states. "lest white men de-
priye the natives of their reindeer and
destroy this great native industry
which the 3ureau of Education has in
the last twenty years built up and
fostered.'
The reindeer service is an integral
part OF the educational system of the

upon It and that in consequence the
troops have suffered the greatest
harsbips.
The assertions seem to be borne
out in part by the condition of 800
servian prisoners, who were standing
today about the market places here.
1t was pitable spectacle, 800 men in
rags. unwashed and unshaven.
Though the ground was frozen, q
score of them had no boots and were
busy trying to avoid contact with the
cold earth by lifting one foot after
the other. What once had been a
uniform was now a collection of rags,
torn and soiled and in some instances
supplemented by bags. Very few OF
the men had boots. Most of them
wore the contrivance of rags and
leather, peculiar to the peasants Of
the Balkans and these had become
useless from long marches.

In City Of Charleston Tomor-
row Discuss State School
Legislation.

CHARLESTON. Dec. 2s.-T There is
to be held In this city Tuesday meet
ing of the colored educators of the
state who, acting as a committee Of
the state teachers association will
consider plans for securing larger ed
ucational opportunities for the race.
While the common school, high school
and normal facilities are conceded to
be about up to the average, 1t is point
ed out that there ia no provision
whatever made for the higher train
ing of this element of the population
which they regard as a serious handi-
cap. Quite number Of colored stu
dents, 1t Is stated, who desired high
er education, have had to seek 1t in
other states at an expense. and incon-
yeniences which imposed hardships.
Others are deferred altogether from
undertaking such courses.
The object Of this meeting will be
to secure for the colored citizens OF
the state a complete system of educa-
ton. Just what plan will be adopted
Ia not known, bu; 1t Is thought that
the committee will urge either the
creating Of a college department at
one Of the present state normals or
the establishing o. limited number
OF free scholarships to be awarded
annually on competitive basis.s
Principal J. w. Scott, Of the Hunt
ington high school, who Is chairman
of this committee on legislation. has
received letter from the governor
favoring the general proposition Of
giving to the colored boys and girls
who have ambitions for higher edu-
cation. the opportunity Of acquiring
the same" 1t is the opinion of Mr..
Scott that no matter which plan lis
decided upon, the cost would be small
and the gain large, for every social
group is stronger and saner for hav-
ing wise and sane leadership. OBJ
yiouslyg ~, is better that q state de-
velop its own leaders than to depend
on some other state to develop them
for It. Then. too, there is no better
way of keeping the race safely to
itself than by making 1t sufficient I'M
to itself. which result can come only
through trained Leadership.
