ANOTHER QUARANTINE?
Virginia State Board of Health
Alarmed Over Paralysis Situation
in Baltimore

Unless infantile paralysis declines
| in Maryland very soon, the State
Board of Health is apprehensive that
the State will have to be included in
the area against which Virginia has
established partial quarantine.
l. Health Commissioner Williams, OF
Richmond, is in daily communication
with the health authorities of Mary
land. is receiving regular reports OF
, new cases and is hoping that the sit
| uation in that State will improve. In
case it does. drastic action may not
be necessary and the present quar-
antine may be raised at no distant
date.
Discussing the general outlook, Dr.
Williams made the following state
mcnt: "The original epidemic in New
York appears TO have practically run
it's course but some of the epidenl-
les that probably had their origin
in New York are still active. we
have watched these carefully and
have modified the quarantine as our
experience justified, hut we do not
feel that all danger is past by any
means. The most hopeful aspect OF
the situation is that the disease seems
to abate or at least to lose some
,, of its epidemic form when cold
weather comes on. This may merely
mean that trouble is postponed un-
til next summer, in which case i'm
mediate action will be necessary.
"The United States Public Health
Service recently published the re-
turns for infantile paralysis during
September in all the States. Virgin
ia had fewer cases by far than any
other State on the Atlantic seaboard,
with the possible exception Of North
Carolina, which did not file report.
Inasmuch as Virginia has the most
stringent quarantine Of any Of these
States, it is reasonable to suppose,
that quarantine has been responsible
/ for at least part of our relative. i'm
! ,nunity. IT is the one weapon We have
employed that some other states have
neglected and Il can hardly be a
coincidence that our morbidity was
so low The board cannot afford not
to read its warnings from this sit
uation and would lie recreant in its
duty if it took chances.
"The board will dislike having to
quarantine against Maryland, but #
the situation in Maryland does not
improve, we must take those precau-
tons which our experience leads us
to believe have protected us from
the disease as it has appeared IN
other states. +"

/ CUNARDER STRIKES a MINE
Armed Niunition and Passenger
Steamer Sinks in English
Channel.

New York, Oct. 2O-The new 13,400
ION armed munition and passenger
steamer Alaunia Of the Cunard line,
was sunk yesterday by, a mine in the
English Channel, between Falmouth
and London.
Cable advices received in this city
by Charles P. Summer, general agent
of the ICunard Company, stated that
Captain II. M. Benson and a major
.ity of the crew were saved, although
some still are missing.
The 243 passengers, 1S5 cabin and
5S steerage, that the Alaunia carried
from this port on October Z, were
landed at Falmouth on Wednesday
night, and probably owe their lives
to that fact. The Alaunia had car
60 of 10000 tons of war munitions
but examination of her manifest at
the custom house the day she sailed
revealed she had no explosives or
board.
The Alaunia left New York, on tine
day that the U-53 arrived at Newport
! Her agents considered the postpone
| ment to sailing on account OF ths
submarine risk and the value of the
| liners cargo. She sailed, however
on schedule time, and news Of hcl
safe arrival in England had beer
anxiously awaited here.
London, Oct. 20-The sinking b!
a German submarine, without previ
Gus examination of the Norwegian
steamship Steun is reported by Reu
ter's Copenhagen correspondent. Th'
sixteen members of the crew were
landed at Christiansand.
The Swedish bark Greta Vrem wa
set afre by a German submarine
Eighteen men from the the bark wer'
landed at Friedrickshafen.
The steamer Rosewood has beer
sunk, according to Lloyds dispatch
The crew was landed.
Dispatches to the State Depart
| ment Yesterday reported the sinking
of the British steamer Kennett by ;
submarine and the landing of tbt
body of her captain. The steame
Damia, presumably Norwegian, alst
was reported sunk by a German sub
marine, and the Swedish steamer
Norma was reported disabled soutl
of Drogden light vessel by her pro
paller becoming entangled in nets
stretched by the Germans to trap sub
marines.

Southern Alabama increased the

to Span Potomac About Fifty
Miles Below Alexandria

The Chamber of Commerce OF Al
exandria at the meeting last Monday
night informally discussed The pro
nosition to build a bridge across the
Potomac river about 50 miles sapth
of Alexandria. Most of the members
were apprehensive, as it was believed
the building of the bridge would
place an impeachment to navigation
in the river. 1t seems that the pro-
position is about to crystalize, not
