without hinchinR, scores OF the girls bare
their white arms and submitted to typhoid
vaccination And some OF the pretty de
butantes refused to be vacclnated on tn

twice taken the vaccination. This was
the last one today. The vaccination dosel

Several foreign countries have already
sent cablegrams TO John Barrett director

ing for information about how TO start
similar camps In their countries, Among
the places asking for particulars are
Panama Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Santiago
Chill Buenos Aires Lima, Peru Havana

the United States. They always have
said Mr. Barrett, in discussing the cable
grams. when they fought clear of the
European countries and became republics
they looked to our Declaration of Inde'
pendence. When they wrote their Consti-
tutions they modelled them on the Constl'
tuition of the United States When the
generals OF the South American coun'
tries were fighting for freedom they did
not lools to a Julius Caesar or Hannibal
for model. They looked to the United
States-to a George Washington.
Now the time has come when the
women of the United States have taken a
new part In preparedness and patriotism.

republics look to the women of the United
