PEACE IN THE AIR
 BUT LONG WAY OFF
Henry CleWs Believes Germany
 Has Had Enough Of War
Especial to the Herald

New York, May 13-A change seems impending in the atmosphere of current events. We have long been agitated by a sense of keen ap- prehension that the great crisis through which we are now passing would not end without some sort of disturbance at home. These fears had their inception in the war and our relation with Germany and MeXi co and certainly had good founda- tion As regards Germany, the out look has been much improved by the frank admission of responsibility for sinking the Sussex and the promise of reparation. The promises of Ger many to also modify here submarine policy in accordance with the wishes of the American government are also encouraging, and if fulfilled should insure friendly relations between the two countries The situation was immensely clarified by President Will sons decisive note last week which was practically an ultimatum. There IS every reason to hope that. Germany Will avoid a rupture with the United States, since we are really her best remaining friend among the neutral powers and can be of invaluable ser vice when peace negotiations actual ivy begin The desire of Germany to end the war is unquestionable. Peace feelers have been repeatedly put for ward, and the belief in it's early coming strengthens daily. The great est hindrance to peace now is the strong inclination of the Allies to to push the war to final conclusion. The final struggle between the armies of the Central Powers and the Entente is probably yet to come; as yet neither side has con- Guered, and no satsfac ctory or last ing peace can be esta blished until one side or the other has been forced into submission. Thus while peace is in the air, and while the mad thirst for war has been superseded by a sane longing for peace, there ic no immediate prospect as yet for any such conclusion. The war promises to continue for some time yet, unless something happens which will compel concessions on both sides. Meanwhile, peace talk will grow, and 9ll rational efforts to that end should be encOurag ged for the good of the heIligerents in particular and the benefit of mankind in general. The Mexican outlook is far from satis- ia ctory, and the danger of our be- coming more deeply involved in that quarter is constantly increasing. We are certainly threatened with a long and costly difficulty, the outcome of which cannot at this time be fore seen.
 Tremendous Bank CIcarings.
 How long is the feverish business activity of the last few months to continue? During the first four months of the current year, bank Clearings reached the tremendous total of $78,000, 0,00O,000, or nearly A5 per cent. more than the same tune last year. Making allowance for the rise in Values-and an increase of nearly 60 per cent. in New Yorll's clearings which were more than half the above total and swollen by un- usual financial operations-it is evil dent there has been a very consid-

Cleaning Up Would

90 WAT THE FLYm has long

&C WAT THE fly has long
been a rallying cry among the
workers for better sanitation.
purer hygiene and cleaner streets, but
its position as a slogan is threatened
by a new cry of ISLAM the mosquito!"
A bulletin issued by the Philadel-
phia board of health deals with the
mosquito question and tells how TO
make the clean up campaign mini
mize, If not eliminate, the dangers in
separable from the presence of mosqui-
toes in numbers. 1t lays stress on the
Importance of killing as many as pos
sible of the mosquitoes In the early
spring, because "every mosquito killed
now will mean thousands less in the
summer"
by far the best way to deal with
mosquitoes" says the bulletin. sis to
destroy their breeding places. As soon
as the warm weather comes the female
mosquitoes, which are the only ones
which survive the winter, will emerge
from their winter quarters in our cell
lars, vaults and other damp, dark
places to seek food and to hunt a place
to lay their eggs. The breeding mos
quito must find standing water in
which to deposit her eggs. II she
fails in this she soo dies, without of
spring. Therefore no stagnant water,
no breeding places for mosquitoes; no
breeding places, no mosquitoes.
"People do not realize that any pud-
die of water, no matter how small nor
how foul, is an acceptable breeding
place for mosquitoes. Where it Is nee
essary to have water standing in tanks,
barrels or other such receptacles. keep
them tightly covered with fine wire
screens. Keep cesspool covers perfect
iy tight and the vents tightly screened.
"Where drainage of pools is not pos
sible or covering of receptacles is not
practicable all standing water should
be covered with a film of kerosene oil,
which prevents mosquitoes from breed
ing in 1t. One ounce of oil is sufficient
to cove fifteen square feet of water.
The oil should be renewed once a
week during the mosquito breeding
season."
The bulletin admonishes all house
holders and residents to take full ad-
vantage of clean up time, so that
neighborhoods and individual premises
may be made mosquito proof, fly
proof and disease proof"

SOME CLEAN UP BENEFITS.
Results Obtained In Chicago Would
Please Any One.

A few of the things accomplished for
Chicago by the clean up campaign
were:
Helped keep the street clean, protec-
ton of the trees, back and front yards
kept in good order. prizes having been
offered for the greatest improvement
and best results, kept dirt out of
schools and made the boys shine their
shoes, which has been an incentive to
keep the rest of their clothes cleaner;
kept the buildings from being defaced
and fences marked with chalk, etc.;
flower boxes were used in the BUSH
ness districts and shrubs and flowers
planted everywhere, protection to
dumb animals and other things capable
OF being injured, many alleys paved,
broken fences mended, old shacks torn
down or repaired and painted, enforced
the anti-spitting law, and fairgrounds
were created.

Clean Up and
Paint Up if You
Desire Health

nAVE you Joined the "Clean Up
and Paint Up" movement? If
not, get in line and march to
the front ranks and be ready for duty.
The royal battle of "Clean Up and Paint
Up" will be fought all over the coun-
try. This movement has enlisted the
aid of every one. young and old, the
schools, the clubs, commercial organ
izations, municipalities and country
communities.
One state wide campaign was started
by the Oregon Federation of Women's
Clubs, which led to the issuing Of the
proclamation to "clean up and paint
up by Governor Withycombe and was
followed by the appointing Of a COM
mittee from the Portland chamber OF
commerce.
This committee ~inaugurated a pub
licity campaign of ~stupendous work
and met with successful cooperation
or the part of ministers and physicians
throughout the state. That it has re-
ceived true cooperation from the ply
sicians is evidenced by the responses.
One physician Endorsed the move
ment as follows: at Is much more
exhilarating and encouraging to see
clean, well kept yards and lawns,
clean streets and buildings than to see
dirty lawns and neglected buildings.
The first example is 'exhilarating; the
second is depressing. In which state
Of mind do you do your best work."
Another physician said:
Want to put the doctors out of bust
ness? With good water and a salubri-
GUS climate and an abundance of fresh
food most of the doctors would be idle
loafers. But am with you just the
same. l am having my house painted
and lawn moved, anG when the paint
ers get their stuff out I will flush out
the garage"
Are you going to do the same? Take
heed to the advice of the above physi-
clans. 1t is vital that everything be
made spick and span not only for
showing off to the visitors that are
coming to your town this summer, but
for the sake OF yourself, your family
and surroundings.
