OLD Battle GROUND
Since Earliest History Men Have
Fought in the Alps.
Two Thousand Years Ago Armies
Traversed the Region That IL
Now the Scene Of Austrian

could tell their story, there would be
many a thrilling and warlike incident
to relate; but none so strange as the
scenes which are being enacted today
bet%89d the Austrians and the Jtal.
ians in these mountainous regions.
The Italians are absolutely at home
IN the mountains, and the Austrians
are using every invention OF science
to counteract this advantage. All the
parapets on the steep roads, where
summer tourists were wont to motor,
have been demolished, and beautiful
pine forests have been swept away so
that nothing shall obstruct the artil.

roads beneath their feet.
From the Cottian chain, marking
the boundary of France in the west,
TO the Carnic and Julian Alps, north
and east of the Adriatic in Austria,
there are literally a thousand passes
and routes of more or less note, near.
ly all traversed by practicable roads,
and some shortened by railway tun-

marched to battle over 1000. years
ago.

The conquest of some Alpine tribes

Teutonic and Frankish hordes in the

Carolinian empire in the tenth and
eleventh centuries until the crystalli-

NAV Be Valuable pIscovery.

1t has been ascertained that remov-
ing the spleen from mice makes them
much less susceptible to tuberculosis.
Though the explanation is not yet
clear. theory has been put forward
that this is due to a substance called
tuberculo-splenatin. which possibly
has some afinity for the tuberculosis
germ. Such is the substance OF pa
per in the Journal OF Experimental
Medicine, issued by the Rockefeller
institute for medical research. and the
Implication IN the findings of DIR. Paul
A. Lewis and DR.. Arthur Georges
target OF the Henry Phtpps institute
OF the University Of Pennsylvania.
The two Investigators suggest the
name acknowledgements for the new
substance as suggesting merely ITS
origin and It's apparent Relationship
to tuberculosis. Hardly anything is
yet known OF the properties OF tn
berculo-splenatin.

To Escape CONSUMPTION as is
Shown by the October Re-
turns in Dublin.

DUBLIN. Ireland, Dec. 1G--The
irish emigration returns for the
month OF october contradict the
stories as to the great exodus" OF
lrislimeif to this United states to es-
cape CONSUMPTION. The government
Official returns show that In the
month Just passed 1908 men and

to all parts OF the world. The figures
for the same month last year were
,39s men and 932 women. There Is
thus q decrease In emigration for
{ the month Of 1876 men and 231
women. The record is very similar
u the whole ten months OF this year
~ compared with the same months
last year. Last year the total emil
grafton from Ireland to all parts Of
the world In the ten months was TO-
o35 men and 1854 women. This
year 1t has fallen to 5,662 men and
1884 women.
The official figures also contradict
the story that the passages Of the

America. One thousand one hun
dred and sixty-five OF the | ,740 emf
grants In October went to the United
States, and Of these the passage of
only seventy-seven were prepaid from
the United States, in accordance with
the old practice by which Irish emf
grants who have settled In the United
States send home the passagle money
of friends and relatives they have
left behind. For the ten months OF
this year Of 5,81S emigrants to the
United States sos had their passage
prepaid. Last year in the same peri
od out OF 14,714 who went to the
United States 1863 had their pass
age paid for them.
1t Is true, however. that the de-
sire to avoid entering the army has
been added TO the other causes OF
emigration. The methods OF recruit
ing adopted in some districts. cspe-
cially in the west of Ireland, before
the business was taken over by n re-
sponsible department under the con-
troll OF the lord lieutenancy, were Of
ten very ill-judged, and irritated in
stead of conciliating the people.
Threats instead Of persuasion were
sometimes used. and the people were
told that if they did not come will
ingly they would be taken by the
scruff Of the neck" and forced in un-
der CONSUMPTION. Shortly following
upon these threats came the invita-
ton OF the lord lieutenant, distrlb-
uted by circular to almost every
house in every parish in Ireland.
Though It was purely voluntary, the
people in some cases jumped to the
erroneous conclusion that here at last
was the fulfllment of the threat.
Wounded soldiers had returned from
army districts. and when the tales
were told OF the seventies OF fight
ign, especially at Suvla Bay, mothers

one old woman sold her cow to pay

The declarations of the Irish party
against CONSUMPTION. and the assur-
ance of its leaders In public speeches
that IL will never be applied to re-
land were accepted. however, by the
great bulk of the people, and though
1.003 men left Ireland for all parts
OF the world as emigrants in the
month of October, the recruiting in
the month was four or five times that
number.

 Cost Would Be Small.
 That the proposed floOdgates will cost not more than $l0,0G0, and per haps only S6000 or $S.000, makes the financial portion of that proposition not so difficult to handle. Engineers appear to differ to a certain extent as to the full measure of good that would be accomplished by the flood gates at East Second avenue, but all appear to agree that the floodgates there will prevent flooded conditions such as prevailed in the eastern and southern portion of the city the past few weeks, and such as exist almost every spring for greater or less per  iod of tiUe
 Property owners are discussing the matter among themselves. Members of the council are giving the subject serious consideration. following the appeal made to them by Mayor Smon Blooom at Mondays session of the aldermanic board. There is no par ticular reason why the building of the flcodgates should be started at once. as there is ample time, under ordinary conditions, to complete the floodgates before another flood stage in the river is due. But just at this time. when the condition of the lake bed can be appreciated by everybody, and when the harmful results can be understood, it is apparently bellev- ed best to push the matter to an early issue, hence the general impress sion that when the council meets the evening of June 2t, there will be cltl- 2ens and property owners present to discuss the matter with the council, and that something definite may be the result of the discussion

CONDITIONS IN OLD LAKE BED
 MANAGE HEALTH
People Realize That Only Way to Prevent Recur-
 renee Is by Flood Gates.

Discussion as to the proposition of erecting floodgates at East Second avenue, where the old lakebed empties into the Arkansas river, continues to interest property owners, especially those in the section affected each year by the recurrent floood or semi-flood city generally.
 Since the fall in the stage of the river began some days ago, the stage of water in the old lake bed has af- most resumed it's normal. As the waters receded, more and more of the land Was left high and comparatively dry, but over it all was the layer of sediment, which, under the rays of the hot sun, is sending forth nause- ating odor which penetrates the great CT portion of the southern and east ern end of the city.
 While an odor in itself may not cause disease, despite it's unpleasant features, there is no doubt whatever that the things which cause the odor are certain to have a most harmful effect upon the health of those per sons exposed to them. If only be- cause the old lakebed is an ideal breeding place for flies and mos quitoes, it is generally believed the city would be far better off if the con dtiions were improved there.
 Dr. Evans on the Fly.
 Flies and mosquitoes disseminate typhoid, malaria and other dangerous diseases, and only as late as yester- day was there printed in the Mem pbis Commercial-Appea an article by Dr. w. A. Evans, former city health officer at Chicago, and one Of the worlds foremost sanitarians, Ill which pr. Evans speaks to the polnt on the fly question:
 "Years of experience prove that the only fly campaign which can result i'll a flyless town is one which removes the fly-breeding places.
 "The fly situation can be controlled if one type of flybreeding place IS eliminated. That is horse manure. A daily removal of all horse manure has made Havana flyless town. San tiago de Las Vegas, 20 miles away, has as many flies as Memphis, Tenn. A wekely manure service 100 per cent perfect in warm weather would solve the problem.
