plete survey Of the oyster beds Of the
United States is being made. The first
years work was completed last spring,
and the three services are making
plans for their campaign during the
coming winter. An oyster map will
show the location of every bad oyster
bed in this country, but it will not be
printed for general distribution. 1t will
enable the agents Of the bureau of
fisheries to keep watch upon Interstate
shipments of oysters made from these
polluted beds.
Shipments to points within the state
where they originate will not be in
spected. but If it becomes known that
oysters from bad" locality, in Ches.
apeake bay. for instance. are being
shipped to point in New York or else
where. samples of them will be tested
and subjected to an analytic test. II
the disease germs are found the ship
pers and packers will be prosecuted
under the pure food and drugs act.
The psychologists this winter will
devote their attention to beds along
the Atlantic coast. Chesapeake bay. to
which their last winters work was
confined. will be resurveyed in sus-
picious localities found last year. The
bureau Of fisheries vessel Fish Hawk
will carry four chemists on the inspec-
ton tour. Every oyster bed Of CONNER
cial value is known. and the Fish
Hawk will anchor over each one while
the experts make their observations
A few tongsful of oysters will be
dredged from each bed, and samples of
the water and mud along the bottom
will be taken. These samples will be
labeled as to locality and general river
conditions and sent to Washington.
The oysters will be sent to the pub
lie health service here. where chemists
will make analyses for bacteria. The
chemical condition Of the water sam.
pies will be noted BY the bureau scien-
fists and will then be sent to the pub
lie health service for another examina-
ton as to their bacterial contents.

The post Office department is active

Burleson issued an order directing the

In closing his report to the governor
DR.. O'Connell says: 81 feel it my duty
to refer to the probable consequences
Of the deplorable war now being waged
in Europe This is a subject engaging
the earnest attention Of quarantine
authorities all over the world. We are
compelled by what we know of the
pathological corollaries Of war during
all history to conclude that this vast
and desperate struggle, involving SO
many nations and extending over SO
great an area. must bring In Its wake
some terrible epidemics. The c0ncen-
tration Of the thought and power OF
civilized governments upon destructive
measures. weakening the sanitary serv-.
ice on the one hand and the conditions
OF war favoring the spread Of disease
on the other hand. bring us face to
face with situation extremely grave.
Unfortunately these conditions are
REINFORCED BY the malign consequences
of the recent Balkan war, which left
eastern Europe cholera stricken. The
epidemic had not been stamped out In
Europe when this new war began. and
the reports each day Of cholera infec-S
ton in southeastern Europe and among
the troops engaged On the territory Of
the Austro- Hungarian empire grow
darker with malign significance.
1T is the duty Of those charged with
the protection Of the public health Of
this country and particularly with the
protection Of Its greatest port to erect
every safeguard against what al this.
Implies. European nations are already
taking steps in this direction. England
Is organizing special cholera corps.
and Italy has adopted stringent quar-
antine measures against all Austrian
ana east Mediterranean ports. :
