DISTRICT GUARDSMEN
ARE ENTERTAINED

Music is heard every night in the Y. NJ.
c. A. tent at Camp ordway. and last
night the Ninth Street Christian Church
furnished it.
The ONO Class Of the Brightwood NJ.
E. Church, will give another Of its
vaudeville performances tonight. Edwin
Callow. Tony the Barber, Arthur Pierce,
the coon song singer. and the Logan
Tribe of Red Men will be on the pro-
gram.
Judge William E. Norris will deliver
his patriotic lecture, The Destiny of a
Nation" tomorrow night.
II the relatives and sweethearts OF the
soldiers in camp do not receive mail
from the militiamen, II is not because
the men do not have writing facilities.
More than lO.CO0 sheets Of paper have
been used since the camp was estab-
lished. and 500 postal cards are used each
day by the boys in the camp.
Books and ma gaines are wanted to
send with the troops when they depart
for Bisbee, so that the men will have
something to do on the train.

judging from the editorial articles abou,
the tremendous German losses at Yer
dun and other foolhardy German enter
prises, have come to believe our general
stan Is composed of a pack of gamblers
gamblers with human blood and with
the faith and fate of a nation.
Long Since Prepared.
Long before the allies met In solemn
council to discuss their grand drive we
were prepared for every eventuality
Nothing could have pleased us better
than the fact that the allies picked out
the Somme front for their offensive.
Determined to save Verdun by a grand
drive, which had been postponed so often
and SO long, they selected the point
where they are most vulnerable
But 1t is evident that they Under
rated our foresight. I have read much
in the English. French and American
press, about the crown prince putting all
on one card. You may shortly discover
that someone else made this very mis-
take, and that this someone else's card
will be the losing one, while the crown
prince will be holding his and cash in
at Verdun."

800 GUARDSMEN
TO Leave soon
Troops Depart for Bisbee,
Ariz., Either Saturday
or Monday.

More than 800 officers and men Of the

detachment of the First Separate Bat
talon, colored, and a detachment of the
regimental medical corps will not be able
to leave before that time.
Four companies of the First Battalion.
A, B, c and D, need about thirty men
to bring them up to minimum strength,
and large recruiting details secured the
city last night for enough recruits to
bring each company up to sixty-five men.
The officers expect thirty men to be en-:
rolled by Saturday. and hope that the
transfer of men from other battalions
will not be necessary. Clothing, includ-
ing sweaters, has been issued to members
OF the First Battalion and the new in
fantry baby doll" equipment will be
given out today or tomorrow. The ma
chine gun company needs four more men,
including two buglers
The Medical Corps will send one oficer
and six men equipped with necessary
supplies, with the First Battalion.
As many recruits for the First Separate
Battalion as will fill one tourist sleeper
about fifty men will be sent forward to
join the colored troops on the border
Since the departure OF the colored bat
talon on July 4, sixty-five colored re-
crults have answered the call to the
colors.
Nearly 400 Needed,
In all. nearly 800 recruits are wanted
by the District militia. Two hundred
are needed by the Third Infantry and
each battery of field artillery needs about
twenty-five men to fill the places of
those lost because Of physical disability
The cavalry troop needs about twenty
men and college men are preferred.
Battery finished medical examina-
tions yesterday and unofficial figures
show a loss of about twenty-five out of
135. The official figures on Battery B
show a loss of thirty-one men out Of
133 Twenty-Five men are needed to bring
this battery from los, present strength, to
the minimum strength of 133. Troop A

tions has continued, and the men are
beginning to look like regulars, in their
new ollve-drab uniforms.

amainations for commission as second

Prevention Rules

The District Commissioners yesterday
ISSUED the following rules to household
ers as an aid in the fight against in
fantile paralysis:
Keep yourself and family in as good
physical condition as possible by avoid
ing exposure and excesses of all kinds.
Fresh air. good food and rest are es-
sential to good health.
Householders are urged to keep their
premises clean, and as free as possible of
refuse of all kinds.
Do not allow garbage or trash Of any
kind to accumulate. If there is delay
on the part of the contractor in remov-
ing garbage or refuse from your prem
ises, notify at once the street cleaning
department.
See that all garbage receptacles are
watertight and supplied with tight covers
to keep out flies and other insects.
Have your house well screened against
flies and other insects. Don't fail to
swat the fly wherever and whenever
found.
In sweeping the floors alIay the dust
as much as possible by first sprinkling z
or by using a damp cloth to wipe up the
floor.
Let all the sunlight and air possible
enter the house.
Prevent as far as possible all over
crowding of the home, especially of the
sleeping apartments.
Do not permit your child to visit any
other child who Is sick, it matters not
what the nature of the illness may be.
Do not permit your child to associate
with any person who has been exposed
to any infectious or contagious disease.
Evidence tends to show that the
virus of infantile paralysis is easily
killed, mild antiseptic gargles, sprays
and nose washes may, therefore, with
advantage be used by those in attend
ance on the patient by those who have
been exposed to the disease. A solu-
tion of common table salt used in the
proportion of one even teaspoonful to
a pint of water, or two teaspoonfuls
of peroxide of hydrogen to one pint of
water may be used for the purpose.
Sprinkle Streets Frequently.
AS far as possible. keep down the
dust in the street in front of your
premises by sprinkling with water.
Do not allow your children to eat
food that is likely to cause intestinal
arrangement
Do not allow your children to play
around stables and other places where
refuse is accumulated and flies are
found in large numbers.
Notify the health department Of
the names and addresses of all chill
dren under 16 years of age who are
known to have arrived in the District
of Columbia from the city of New
York within two weeks, so that they
may be kept under observation.
Visits from friends or other per-
sons residing in the city Of New York,
especially children under 1s years of
age, should be discouraged.
Notify the health department of any
suspicious case of sickness coming un-
der your observation.
Careful observance of these rules
will be of material assistance to the
Commissioners, and health department
in their efforts to prevent the intro
duction and spread of this disease in

RUSHING TO ruin
German General Staff Officer
Says Anglo-French Army
Doomed.
CBy the Sun News service)

Berlin, via Amsterdam, July 1.-THE
allies press speaks Of a forthcoming dis
aster to the Germans on the west front
There may be disaster, and great one
but 1t will be an Anglo-French dis
aster. II the allied offensive on the
Somme continues with the same success
which has marked 1t so far, within a
month from now there will be no more
talk OF an Anglo-French army. We have
separated them, and there will be no get
together-not in this war. at least"
The foregoing statement was made to
the Sun News Service correspondent to-
night by a member of the supplementary
general stan, general whose name was
in the worlds spotlight during the first
phases of the war, but who has been
wounded since, and has been detailed
to the home stair in the war depart
ment- For obvious reasons his name must
be withheld

cannot stop" said the officer The French
and the British must attack again and
again, no matter what the cost They
must try to break through this time, for
they know that the moment they stop
We shall begin. And they cannot afford
to let US begin.
Need Miracle to Save Them.
Unless a miracle happens-unless more
Of Kitchener's famous 100000 army is
thrown into the front between the Ancre
and the Somme, than we have had to
face thus far, the allies will be in a
dilemma which we shall solve for them
by selling both horns and break them
apart.
Every day brings the same news: the
French are advancing, the British are
deadlocked with the counter-attacking
Germans.
Now, how long do you suppose this
game can go on? Some time the French
have got to stop, for the danger of ex-
posing themselves to flank attack grows
from hour to hour.
DO you suppose the Germans have
been, and are. idle all this time?
