GUARD AGAINST
DISEASES OF WAR
Every Precaution Taken to
Prevent Introduction of
Plaques to England.

Folkestone. Nov. ls. English
health officers at Folkestone are taxi
Ing unusual precautions to prevent the
admission of diseases into England
from the war zone. Passengers arriv-
Ing on the Flushing, Dieppe. Boulogne
and Calais boats are examined with
great care
Folkstone is now practically the
only commercial port open for pas
senger business from the continent.
So the stream of refugees, tourists
and wounded soldiers all passes
through this port.
Health officers feel the pulse of ev-
cry passenger, examine the wrist
carefully, look into the throat and
eyes and scruitnize the forehead for
evidences Of smallpox. In order that
! they may see: the foreheads. of ladies'
whose. hair Is fashionably dressed it
Is frequently necessary to push the
hat and front. hair back. This action
on the part of physicians has fire.
quently caused ladies to believe the
physicians were secret service men
who suspected they had messages con.
cealed in their hair.
immigration officials and plain
clothes men examine the papers Of all
passengers very carefully before they
enter England and usually engage
tNem IN conversation In an effort to
ascertain whether their French or
English has German accent. Bag.
gage is also examined thoroughly by
inspectors to make sure it contains
no German newspapers or letters from
Berlin for persons in England.
Because Of the improper use made
Of American passports by Lieutenant
Lody Of the German naval reserve
and other spies apprehended in Eng
land. France and Belgium, all bear
ers OF American passports are rigor.
ously cross questioned.
Flushing is the only open gateway
from the United States and England
to Germany which affords q direct
trip and most travellers to and from
Germany - by the Holland route as
1t 10 much shorter than trip by way
Of Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
Consequently the Flushing boats
would be probably selected by secret
agents Of tho German government.
Scattered cases Of scarlet fever and
smallpox have already made their ap-
pearance among Belgian refugees in
Holland and northern Belgium. Ey-
cry effort has been made to prevent
tho spread Of these diseases in the
refugee camps. but the Belgians are
living In such crowded and unsanitary
conditions that 1t is difiicult to pro-
tect them against contagion.

who may be in sympathy with Ger

It is alleged by English investigators
that they have been selling contra
fand goods to Germany. Bankers and
warehousemen in Amsterdam and
lsntt r,iarn who should know some-
thing of the situation do not deny this
charge vigorously.
IL y OH!S HuIldn nature, tHey say.
Suppose Piet has a warehouse full
Of goods which are badly wanted in
Germany. Perhaps months ago he
ordered them to sell to Germany. He
finds it hard to understand why he
should not sell them to Germany to-
day-especially as they have largely
increased in price,"
The Other Side Of 1t,
A commercial Investigator for the
English government puts it somewhat
differently.

he suddenly turns into a broker for

And Holland is full of that sort of
brokers.

option Of two courses. She may eth

!, Berlin. Nov. 1S.-Notwithstandin
the war. the new University Of Frank
fort has just been opened. The en-
peror signed the statutes Of the new
institution on August I. the day the
German mobilization was ordered.
Thus this new seat Of learning will be
identified for all time with the great
many for having been born during the
Napoleonic wars. The University Of
Frankfort has also attached to itself
a "Reminiscences Of those days by open
ing its doors on the anniversary'of the
Battle Of Leips!E, whers Napoleon's

The opening, on October 1s. was
without any special ceremony. The
Kaiser cent from military headquar-
ters q dispatch expressing his regret
from the nefarious attacks Of our
enemies" rendered It impossible for
him to be present.
The institution begins its career un-
der favorable financial and intellectual
auEuries. An endowment fund Of
abort 100000 has been collected. A
large part Of this was given by men,
which is also represented din New
York. A considerable contribution
was also made, 1t IL understood, by
Jacob H. Schtff Of New York, as . gift
to his native city.
The city Of Frankfort undertakes to
make annual appropriations for meet

unique position among those Of Ger

municipal activities in Germany. It
had been proposed by the contributors
to the endowment that the city should
have exclusive control. including the
selection Of the faculty: but this was
rejected by the Pruesian legislature:

MAKE OUT SCHEDULE
FOR PENSION DUES
26 Years Back Dues and S25
Annually for q Years En-
titles Teacher to $500 Pen
sion.

A schedule for the payment Of
teachers pension dues was made out
last night at a meeting OF about 80
teachers of the city in the Grammar
school building. 1t was found that
after paying back dues for 26 years
and SIS a year for the next four years
that any teacher could by the laws of
the state retire from service with a
pension of $500 a year.
The law of the state requires that a
teacher shall have served 80 years as
a teacher and have dues paid for that
length Of time before he is eligible
for payment of the pension when he
decides to retire. The law has been
in effect for something over % years,
and local teachers wishing TO take adj
vantage OF it, have decided to pay back
payments for the past 26 years and at
the end of four years retire with the
pension. The back payments, includ-
ing interest amount to $613.
The law states that something over
$40 a year be paid for the first II
years. The next eight years call for
a payment of something over $40 for
each year, and the last four years
dues are $25 each.
Teachers will be given credit for all
time served on consideration that
they pay up all back payments In
terest is counted at four per cent an
nually and the payment of 1913 will
settle all payments to date. For the
next four years dues Of $25 a. year
must be paid.
There was great interest displayed
in the project by the teachers present
at the meeting. The proposition was
explained in talks by Principal r. L.
Sims and Pres. John A. Byers Of the
Teachers Federation of the city. Ali
present declared that they would take
advantage of the proposition. Mr.. By
ers acted as chairman of the meeting.
Mr.. Byers has sent out pension APP
plication blanks to all the teachers OF
the city, and more than so have al
ready answered that they we're inter-
ested in the project and would proba-
bly, take advantage of the opportunity.
1t is said both by Mr.. Byers and Mr..
Sims that as the proposition becomes
clearer and the interest is quickened
the number of applicants from this
city will grow.
