LAST SCHOOL EXAMINED.
Cultures Taken From Arson Children
Hiqh School Pupils Out.

! City Physician F.. P. Lierle finished
| the examination of the last of the city
! schools Monday, when he took cultures
/ from the children of the Arson school.
A report from the cultures of the high
school show twenty eight carriers and
, more than sixty designated as sus-
pected of being carriers.
There are fewer cases of diphtheria
in the city now than three weeks ago,
and there have been no new Quaran-
tines since Friday. The attendance in
the schools where cultures We're taken
early in the campaign has returned to
about normal, Superintendent Palmer,
said today. Pupils are not to lose
standing or credits because Of enforced
absence caused by being sent home as
diphtheria carriers or as having SuS-
picious threats. Superintendent Pal
mer has issued instructions to all prin-
cipals to see that pupils out for the
causes given be not set back in their
studies. The superintendent thinks that
by next Monday conditions in the
schools will be about normal again.

Nogales.
But IN Nogales DIR kidney was not
to be removed entirely from the stir
ring times of guerilla warfare. He
writes Hull:
I'VE have had some pretty lively
times in this burg. When Villas troops
left they started in to Shoot UP the
town. but they had only FREQ tive
shots when they thought q Fourth OF
July had struck them. We got 40 IN

Practically its whole area can be kept
under constant observation by scouting
craft of various types. supplemented by
Zeppeiins and aeroplanes. Fast ships can
pass from the British to the German coast
between daylight and dark.
1T results from the above conditions
that there is no such demand in the pres
ent war for vessels of the battle cruiser
type as would exist in war on the At
lantic or Pacific, nor is there any oppor-
tunity for these ships to give evidence of
their value in the primary role for which
they are intended. This role 1 attempted
to define in the following paragraphs of
my testimony before the naval commit
tee. as follows:
THE second respect in which the
navy, as it exists today. is hampered.
or would be hampered, in the event OF
war. is that it has no battle cruisers
and no scout cruisers. In other words,
we have no means of gaining informa-
tion as to the location or the move
ments of an enemy force or of denying
to the enemy information as to our
own location or movements. Our fleet,
if it were sent to sea tomorrow to de-
fend our Atlantic coast from Eastport
Me. to the Panama canal would go out
with the commander-in- chief and
everybody under his command practl-
cally blindfolded.

Food Tasted of Gas.
Col. Cosby took an auto home, his
throat still on fire, but not otherwise
physically affected. That night every
mouthful of dinner had the unmistak-
able taste of the poison gas; each
draught of water had the same taste OF
the deadly gas, and even the puffs of
cigar had the taste of so many puffs
fiery needles and so many draughts OF
vitriol. Col. Cosby could speak to his
family only in inarticulate whispers
They were naturally much concerned
over the possible after effects.
When Col Cosby saw a doctor next
day, the throat was found to be in
very bad condition, as from an acute
attack of laryngitis. The colonel con-
tined on his duties, but for week he
could speak only in whispers. 1t was
ten days before the clutch of the poison
gas on the throat had been relaxed

WATERMELONS BACKWARD.
Cold Spring Has Delayed Ripening
Along Chesapeake Bay.

From present indications it looks as
if the watermelon season at the 11th
street wharf will be late in opening
this year. Usually vessels laden with
watermelons from farms on tributaries
of the bay begin to arrive here the
latter part of July or early in August.
and before the end of the first week in
August the melons are arriving here by
the many thousands daily.
Advices received by Capt. Dave
Faunce, who each season handles at
the wharf many hundred thousand
melons for the producers, state that
owing to the cold spring the melons
are backward and it will be later than
usual when the season opens. The
same conditions are known to exist at
other melon producing points. and it is
figured that the season will probably
be week or ten days late in opening.
