THE MISSISSIPPI BOARD or
HEALTH SELECTS DR..
DUDLEY JONES.
CATCHINGs LEAVES BOARD
Former President of Body Appointed
Health Officer Of wilkinson
County-AppIicants for Med
ical License Pass.

-JdChSOu.
In selecting DR.. Dudley Jones, OF
Brookhaven, to succeed DR.. VALLEY,
the members of the board Of health
are satisfied that they have secured
one of the most competent medical
men available.
A feature of the days proceedings
was the resignation of DR.. c. E. Catch
ings as a member of the board from
the Seventh district, upon his election
as health officer for Wilkinson county.
This action followed his resignation
of the presidency on the first day OF
the meeting, which was prompted by
professional and business reasons, and
as this will probably be the last meet
ing of the state board until the fall,
it is believed that no material inter
ests will suffer by reason of the
change.
Just before the adjournment Of the
board DR.. Catchings gave notice OF
his resignation, which he later trans
mitted to the governor, which was ac-
cepted, and DR.. J. H. Johnson OF
Brookhaven was appointed as the
Seventh district member.
|. DR.. Galloway, executive secretary,
announced the following appointees
as health officers for the Seventh dis
trict, which completes the list through
out the state:
Adams, Dr. w. H. Aickman OF
Natchez; Amite, DR.. H. T. Cunning OF
Gloster; Claiborne, DR.. A. L. Chapman
of Hermanville; Copiah, DR.. w. L.
Little of Wesson; Eranklin, DR.. L.
Costley OF Mesdyille::- JefxzefsoEqs,, err
J. C. McNair of Fayette; Lincoln, DR..
W. H. Frizell of Brookhaven; Pike,
DR.. w. D. Beacham of McComb; Wal
thall, DR.. B. L. Crawford of Tylertown;
Wilkinson, DR.. C. E. Catchings OF
Woodville.
Secretary Galloway reported that
out of 60 applicants for medical
license who stood the examinations a
larger proportion than usual were sue
cessful, so having passed the required
grade. The one lady who took the
examination, Miss Rena Crawford of
West Point, was successful, attaining
good grade.

DAMAGE BY MOSCOW MOB
In Anti-German Demonstration 700
Buildings Are Wrecked-Teu-
tons Owned 113.

Petrograd, via London.-MoscoW
suffered damage to the amount of
$2O,OOO,OOO during the recent anti
German demonstrations in which near
ly 500 stores and factories and more
than 200 private lodgings were de-
stroyed.
The infuriated mobs turned the city
into wild disorder, according to eye
witnesses. From music stores, pianos
and other musical instruments were
hurled into the streets, until the piles

became reckless in their pillag1ng,
burning many stores and apartments,
the owners of which were Russians.
OF the total number of buildings de-
stroyed only 113 belonged to Austro-
German subjects.
The demonstrations beginning early
on June lasted more than "a hours.
Buildings burned and crumbled to
ashes. and the fire departments, al.
though active throughout the disturb
ances, found it impossible to cope with
the flames, so extensive were the
conflagrations.
The Moscow council, at meeting,
took measures to quell the disorders
and prevent a repetition of the riot

Book Commission Upheld.

Responding to a written request
from Gov. Brewer for a ruling on the
question whether the state textbook
commission could legally recommend
supplemental textbooks in any line of
study, Assistant Attorney General Eth.
ridge, for the state department of JUS
ice, rendered an affirmative opinion.
There was a difference of opinion be-
tween representatives of publishers as
to whether the textbook commission
could or could not authorize supple.
mental or optional selections.
In clothing its official list of adop-
tions the commission entered clause
recommending certain series of read
ers as supplemental course, from the
primary through the eighth grammar
school reader. The attorney general
held that it was the obvious intent OF
the uniform textbook law to authorize
the commission to exercise its d1scre-
ton in cases where it was apparent
such action would insure a saving in
the contract cost of books to the depos-
itories and the patrons. AS stated in
the opinion, "the state would not be
injured nor would it incur any pecun-
iary obligations by accepting such
contract, nor would any other book
selling concern be injured by such q
contract"
The governor wanted to be sure that
the contract as drawn would be legal

HEAVY FIGHTING IN WEST
British Troops Win and and Lose .
Mile Front in One Day-Allies
Advance at Ypres.

London.-For the first time in weeks
there has been heavy fighting over
comparatively extensive line OF the
British front in Belgium and France.
Berlin describes it as an Anglo-French
movement synchronizing with Russian
reverses in Galicia.

lose it before terrific German counter.

sent, frank if brief, Field Marshal
French records this incident, but does
not state the losses, which must have
been heavy on both sides.
The Germans are as frank In con-
ceding the loss of ground near Ypres,
even temporarily, to yield mile OF
their Festubert stronghold.
The latest Zeppelin raid on England
has created hardly a ripple of excite
ment. Aircraft protection was one OF
the subjects discussed June 16 in the
House of Commons, William Jeynson-
Hicks urging marked increase in
this branch. He said that London must
soon expect a serious raid and added
that at one time more than five Zeppe-
Iins Of the latest type were over the
English coast.
The under-secretary for war, H. J.
Tennant, besides giving assurances
that bigger aeroplanes were under col.-
struction. said that since the beginning
OF the war the number Of machines
had been increased tenfold and the
number of men engaged in this branch

CLAIM RUSSIAN RETREAT
Fighting In GaIicIa Developed Moth
ing to Stem Austro-German
Advance.

London.-Another "a hours Of fight.
ing in Galicia developed nothing to
stem the Austro- German advance to-
ward Lemberg, and Berlin claims the
Russians are retreating over their
own frontier toward Tarnogrod, four
miles from the Galician border.
This means an invasion of Russian
territory at new point, but ccordilg
to military observers here. 1t may
spell ultimate advantage for the Rus
slams In that a general Russian retire
ment northward into Poland would
divert Gen. Linsingen's attempt to
crush the Russian cehter near Zura-
wana, which would sever the communi.
cations Of the Russian army In South
eastern Galicia and Bukowina. The
military writer's here say the real dan,
ger zone from the Russian standpoint
is in the Zurawana district and along
the Dniester.
According to Berlin, the Austro-Ger-
man forces have battered through
Niemecrow, 30 miles northwest of
Lemberg, and are advancing toward
Jaworow, which is only ,25 miles west
of the Galicran capital.
Masses of Austro-Germans thus are
sweeping from the San toward the
capital. and the prediction is MADE
that the decisive battle, if one is
fought, will take place in the vicinity
of Grodek, where military observers
believe the Russians should benefit by
the lake country.
British newspapers, though not min
imizing the Importance Of the Austro-
German successes in Galicia, acclaim
what is styled the Grand Duke Mich
olas' elusive strategy in shifting his
front from north and south to north
west and southeast. This maneuver,
it is asserted, has DETECTED the Aus
tro-GeGrman blow to some extent and
at the same time denied to them q
full test of strength.
Thus the Russian retreat Is char
acterized in London as strikingly par
alleling the allies vicatory on the
Marne. The struggle along the Dnies-
ter and before Lemberg, it is consid-
cred here, must determine which side
is the more astute in the present ma
neuyerS.

PARKS AN ASSET
TO NATION, SAYS LANE
Visitors Last Summer Spent
Million That Europe, Normal
ly, Would Have Gotten.

Declaring that national parks are an
asset to the people. not only for health
and recreation, but from an economic
rtandpoint, Secretary Of the Interior
Lane in section of his annual report
made public today, calls attention to
the fact that visitors TO the parks last
summer distributed millions that under
normal conditions would have gone to
Europe.
With respect to the parks. he says.
The United States furnishes play
grounds to the people of this country
which are, we may modestly state. with
out any rivals in the world. Just as the
cities are seeing the wisdom and the
necessity of open spaces for the chill
dren. so. with a very large view, the
Nation has been saving from its domain
the rarest places of grandeur and
beauty for the enjoyment of the world.
Revelation To Many.
And this fact has been discovered by
many only this year. Having an in
centive in the expositions on the Paci-
fic coast. and Europe being closed, thou
sands have, for the first time crossed
the continent and seen one or more of
the national parks. That such noun
tans and glaciers. lakes and canyons,
forests and waterfalls We're to be found
in this country was revelation to
many, who had heard out had not be-
lieyed.
Of this year that the real awakening
rs to the value of these Iarks has at
last been realized, and that those who
have hitherto found themselves enticed
by the beauty Of the Alps and the Rhine
and the soft lovelness of the valleys Of
France. may find equal il not more
stimulating satisfaction in the noun
tains. rivers and valleys which this
government has set apart for them and
for all others.
The Governments Aim.
There is no reason WIZ this nation
should not make its public health and
scenic domain as available 10 all its
theirs. The aim is to open them tnor-
oTEhly by road and trail and give ac-
cess and accommodation to every &c
gree of income.
I'm this belief an effort has been
made this year as never before to out
fit the parks with new hotels which
should make the visitor desire to linger
rather than hasten on his journey. one
hotel was built on Lake McDermoct.
