In December of last year the

continued the practice Of fumigation
of premises after the occurrence Of a
case of infectious disease in all the
boroughs except Brooklyn, where 1t
was maintained for the purpose Of
control. As to the results OF the
experiment. the Board reports that
in the Borough of Manhattan, 1913

mary cases of diptheria. OF these
III. or 40 per cent would not have
been affected by fumlgation, and %
or o.6 per cent might have been 30 af-
fected. In Brooklyn. where fumiga-
ton was performed, there were 1873
later cases among 2.709 original cas-
|es. OF these. ITO, or 3.s. per cent
would not have been affected by
fumigation, and 2s or 90 per cent
might have been so affected. In

into execution the entire present build

II is to be remembered that only a
norton, about half, Of the increase
has been appropriated for-only those
ships which are to be laid down this
vear-and that the balance OF the pro-
gram is to be spread over the follow

the small navy people and the peace
at-any-prlce fanatics will redouble
their efforts to curtail preparedness

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


on the Stock Exchange the opinion of
bcarish traders that peace may come
sooner than had been expected was sup
ported principally by expressions frCm
a broker who has recently come from
London and who is we'll connected In
brokerage and banking circles there.
More and more said this broker, tho
British people are coming to the con-
clusion that the war must end In a draw.
They are greatly disappointed over tic
failure to break through the German
lines on the Sommc. for after the failure
Of the German drive at Nerdun they had
been hopeful that the German rcNcrScs
there might be turned into n decided
allied victory elsewhere. Now that all
tho armies will soon settle down into
winter quarters, the opinion is general
that nothing decisive can I've ar-
complishcd before the middle Of next
year. People who never before would
tolerate the thought Of peace now want
the boys out Of the trenches without the
suffering and casualties OF another
