SEE NO NEED FOR ALARM
OVER THE SCARLET fever
District Health officials Also Decry
the Closing of Chevy Chase
Public School.

Although three cases of scarlet fever
have been discovered among pupils OF
the third grade of the Chevy Chase
public school, District health depart
ment officials do not anticipate an cpl
demic of the disease. There is nothing
unusual or alarming in the situation,
they say. and no reason why the school
should be closed.
This is the time of year when scarlet
fever is most prevalent and there are
eighty-six cases altogether among
school children throughout the District.
At this time a year ago there were
ninety-one cases on record. it was
stated at the health department today.
Records Show Low Fever Rate.
Health department records show a
low mortality rate for scarlet fever.
During 1918 there were 566 cases of
the disease in the District, with four
teen deaths. During 1912 there were
311 cases with one death. The mortal
ity rate in 1912 was 1 per cent and in
1913 2 per cent.
Customary precautions are being
taken by the health department to pre-
vent spread of the disease. The room
occupied by the third grade in the
Chevy Chase school has been disin-
fected and the pupils examined.
The Maryland state board of health,
the local health officer at Chevy Chase,
Md, and the county health officer OF
Montgomery county, Md. have been
asked to cooperate with the District
officials in their efforts to hold the
disease in check.

DENY CURRENT WILL CEASE.
London Electric Companies Tell Of
Zeppelin Raid Rules.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON. January 31.-The report
| that the electric light works in London
had received instructions to turn off all
current, public and private, on the ap-
proach of hostile aircraft. is denied in
a statement given to the trade journal.
Electrical Engineering The statement
says:
'As a matter of fact our instructions
are exactly the opposite. We must
maintain the supply Of current and
keep the lights going. Theaters and
hospitals, for instance, would be in a
serious predicament If their current
were suddenly stopped. If theaters
were suddenly plunged into darkness
panic would inevitably ensue. Hos
pitals would be in terrible plight and
there would be loss of life in almost
every operating room.
Moreover, if our electric light works
were to switch off their current large
quantities of steam would have to be
Immediately blown off into the atmos-
phere, and the noise would probably
startle the inhabitants of the darkened
town far more than the explosion of
dropping bombs.
Moreover. the rising steam would
| offer an admirable target for the Yep
pelin: a bomb might be dropped on the
Bankside electricity works, and if the
range finding inaccurate it would per-
| haps hit St. Pauls Cathedral, Black
| friars bridge or the Central Telephone
Exchange"

PHEASANTS GIVE CUE
TO NORTH SEA BATTLE
Folks on East Coast of England
Know When There Is Can
nonading.
of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 30.-Folks on the
east coast have no need of lookouts to
warn them of a battle in the North
sea. Even when they cannot hear the
gunfiring they have auguries of the
battle in the pheasants, in which the
country thereabouts abounds.
Hours before the people of London
were aware of 1t, many east coast resi-
dents knew there had been an engage
ment the morning of Sunday, January
"a. Almost Immediately firing had be-
gun the pheasants made a great stir
and fuss. and those old residents able
to read the signs realized that the SEN
sitive birds were aware Of distant can
nonading. Similar demonstrations by
the birds had been made on previous
occasions.
The Rev. W. NJ. L. Evans, writing
from Saxby rectory, Lincolnshire, on
the east coast. says: ut may be of in
terest to Admiral Sir David Beatty to
know that large portion of the popu-
lation of this remote parish, in spite of
the censor. knew all about his doings
Sunday morning at an early hour.
Our worthy clerk met me with the
announcement. There be rare goings
on in the North sea the MORN
"'Why?' l inquired.
THE pheasants is all over the place
with their FUSS" was the reply.
Many villagers" adds the rector,
Confirm his statement as to the ex-
cited condition of the birds"
The London Times, investigating the
matter, finds that pheasants elsewhere
along the coast have displayed the
same uneasiness during naval engage
ments. Their sensitive organism
catches the faintest distant tremors,
when the human ear is not disturbed.

BURN A GERMAN CLUB.
Australians, Incensed by Turks, Re
taliate Upon Teutons.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
MELBOURNE, January 10.-The only
outbreak of any consequence in Australia
directed against Germans since the Wa.
began occurred recently when a mob
burned down the German club at Broken
Hill, large mining city.
The trouble originated through the ap.
parently insane act Of two Turks. who
conceiving it to be their duty to attack
Britons because Great Britain was al
war with Turkey. armed themselves
with rifles and. in hiding along the state
railway line. fired into a train of pic
nickers. killing four and wounding seven
persons
The Turks were finally shot to dearf
by police and militiamen, but the after
math of the tragedies was a gathering
of turbulent Britons in the foreign quar-
ter of Broken Hill that night loud in
their charge that the attack upon the
picnic crowd was attributable to the
Germans.
The mob marched into the German
club, smashed all the windows in the
building with stones and, saturating the
house with Oil, they set the place on
fire,

REFERS TO ENGLAND'S
FRIENDSHIP FOR u: S.
Sir James Atkins of Dominion Par
Lament Sees No Trouble
Likely.

Serious controversy between the
United States and Great Britain as q
result of the European war is very un-
likely. in the opinion Of Sir James
Atkins. member of the Dominion par
Lament from Winnipeg, who is ir
Washington for a few days.
unlikelihood of trouble arising is
based. he said, on close blood relation
ship. on financial relations and on the
very friendly feeling that has beer
growing UP between these two nations
for many years.
IF the American people will pursue
their customary evenness Of temper" he
asserts, the British government, 1 am
sure, will continue to act in harmony
with the American government. Can
ada is the arm of Great Britain on the
American continent, and the feeling OF
Canadians toward Americans repre-
sents the sentiment of British people
and 1 may say this feeling is of the
kindliest.
THE people of the United States
should not be other than neutral, be-
cause of the racial kinship they have
with the English. We are all cousins
in blood.
