Fear for -aIth of Americans at Vera
Cruz.

Washington, June 15-Although
Surgeon General Braisted of the navy
department and other officials pro-
fessed no extraordinary anxiety over
the health of American soldiers and
sailors In Mexico there was neverth a
less an undercurrent of apprehension
in both the war and navy depart

DR.. Braisted pointed to the fact that
the army sick rate at last report was
2.3 per ce' and the navy 81 per
cent while the normal rate is from
2 to 215 per cent.
American policing or sanitati IN
is the reason for a higher health rate
at Vera Cr'z than at Tampico.

say, but We are all hoping that the

There Is Deep Gloom

There was a serious side to the situ-

many IL meant the severing Of rela-

that for long periods past had worked
