Sanitary Conditions on the Border

To the Editor of The tribune.
Sir: The celebrated Sir William
Osler saws OF sanitation in 1898: AT
Camp Alger, near Washington, with a
mean strength of 21,9SS men, there
were / ,951 cases Of typhoid fever. Never
have seen so many cases Of fever
concentrated together, barrack after
barrack filled with victims Of neglected
sanitary precautions" This. about SO
per cent of the command, includes
typhoid and psratyphoid.
When the 14th Regiment Infantry,
n. Y. n. G., U. S. A., arrived at Camp
Whitman from Texas the Health De-
partment of this state found 1870 cases
of paratyphoid and forty healthy car
riers, a total of 10 cases among, say,
1000 soldiers-about II per cent.
What would it have been had not the
typhoid injection been discovered since
1898? Tho country had been told by
the swivel chair medicos of the War
Department we had made great adj
vances since the Spanish-American ty-
phoid carnival. They omitted to men
ton the progress was backward.
General Bliss found everything on
the border just right. DR.. Darlington
was compelled to leave because he dis
agreed with him. Now we know who
was right.
Again, say, let General Wood visit
the border; he will tell the true, I'M
vanished facts and get things cor
rected-if it can be done.
To-day the country knows nothing
is all right on the border but the
hearts and courage of our splendid.
patriotic, misused militia and that the
accomplishment of the swivel chair
Medical Department of the army is
the worst of all.

fired over $500 rounds OF gas shelis

twenty-four hours.
OF the quality OF the German am
munition General Won Arnim says tnat
the old pattern of field gun ammuni-
ton has proved efficient, but the COM
plication of using five different fuses
with the long shell for the light heid
howitzer caused delay and confusion.
OF the ammunition supply he remarks
Difficulties of Ammunition Supply
"The supply Of artillery ammunition
Of all kinds during the hrst days OF
the battle did not equal the great ex-
penditure. Reserve supplies we're only
available in very small quantities. On
July IA the English attack took place
which necessitated a great expenditure
of ammunition. (He explains in detail
how ammunition was borrowed from
another army group, and had to be
brought UP at night under very diffi-
cult conditions.) From July ID
onward the supply Of ammunition was
better but the supply was
never sufficient to make good the ex-
penditure in the event of the railway
being blocked for one or two days. The
lack of gun ammunition was always
felt, and large reserves were never
available. Here follow various COM
ments on the motor lorry and cart
transport, which was generally eff
ficient.) There should be am
munition depots for large quantity
of ammunition close to the detraining
stations. In addition, light railways
are required from the detraining sta
tions to the depots. These were not
provided, and consequently large
quantity of ammunition was piled up
along the railway lines Immediately
beside the detraining stations"
Incidentally, it may be noted that
our airmen have been quite aware of
this fact. and that several of such
piles have been bombed and exploded.
1t should be noted that General Won
Arnim betrays no misgivings as to the
abundance Of Germany's supply OF am
munition as whole. What he COM
plains of is the faultiness of the ar
engagements for delivering it when it
is wanted.

remedy we had longed for, hoped
for, believed would come.
So much for the past. Looking to
the future, is it not possible even to-
day TO perceive that the fate that
overlook the Wing party in 1852
now threatens the Republican party,
which succeeded to its estate? The
Wing party died of the effort to
swallow the Fugitive Slave Law; it
died of the effort to face both ways
on the great question OF the hour; it
persisted because in the presence of
a great national crisis it could only
think of an election, it could only
talk of material prosperity, and it
was prepared to invite the vote of
the STAKEHOLDER in the South and
the Free Soiler in the North by an
avoidance of every question that
did not concern the pockets and
profit of the voter.
The verdict of Tuesday adjourns
all settlement of the great ques-
tons of the present time until
the opposition can find a party and
leaders-a party Of principle and
leaders of courage.

able could the original plan Of meet
ing upon the banks OF the Rogue in

Inclement weather stood in the way
OF this. The adverse disposition Of
the royal chinook salmon, which 1t
was tentatively planned to have as
the piece de resistance at the ban
quet, prevented the consummation
Of this plan. The fish absolutely re-
fused to leave his ocean retreat at
this time. or the nets were too thick
for him at the rivers mouth.
But. taken in all, the meeting OF

success from the city's point OF view.

tion godspeed in the wonderful work

February and February shipments

In April. S.6S3 Portlanders sent

Exhaustion OF old liquor supplies

for the steady increase.

HOW TO PREPARE.

From the tenor of the speech made
In Grants Pass by Senator Albert B,
Cummins, it is evident that republi-
cans in eastern political centers are
convinced that the United States
must begin q campaign of prepared
ness for the conditions that are to
follow the closing OF the war in
Europe. The immense prosperity that
has flooded the east. and that has
made mills and factories work over
time and caused general increase
Of labor's wage. is founded upon war
orders from Europe. When peace at
last comes these war orders will
cease and commerce and industry
must be readjusted upon the new
basis Cancellation of these orders
viii prick the Industrial boom. and
through q readjustment Of the tariff
the country must be protected from
the importation Of cheap-made Euro
pean goods. The tariff policies Of
Wilson and his party are supported
BY but a very small minority Of the
American people. Few more than q
fourth Of the voters registered their
ballots in favor Of Wilson. his cleo
tion being made possible through
the split Of the opposition. The re-
suit next November would be the
same again unless the two branches
OF the republican party are brought
together. as they can be through the
nomination OF an acceptable candi-
date. There is little doubt about the
result Of the Chicago convention. for
republicans have been punished sum-
ciently by four years Of democracy
for their fiasco Of 1912. The time

in America after the war is closed is
now at hand. The way to prepare
Is to put a republican in the White
House next March.

THE VISIT OF THE CHANGERS

THE VISIT OF THE CHANGERS.
Grants Pass will bid the grangers
of Oregon a reluctant farewell upon
the closing OF the 43rd annual con-
vention OF the state organization in
this city today. While the business
OF the grange,-and it is essentially
a business organization.-has not
allowed the members a great deal OF
time for social communion with the
citizens OF the community, their pre-
sence has been an inspiration to our
people. The opportunities offered for
acquaintance have been improved,
and friendships have been builded
that will have beneficial influences
in years to come. Such entertain
ment as the city and the citizens OF
Grants Pass have been privileged and
permitted to offer has come from the
hearts OF the people. The business
men have expressed the spirit OF
good will and OF cooperation by lib
eral contribution to the entertain
ment fund, and many homes have
been opened to the visitors OF the
week. It Is hoped and believed that
this spirit which is manifest In the
city upon the Rogue has been truly
reflected to the visitors, and that
when they depart It will be with only
good viii and best wishes for the
community that was proud to offer
them It's hospitality.
The citizens have not done all the
things they had hoped to do. op-
portunity was given for the visitors
to see something OF the Rogue val
ley, though to see II adequately
would have taken more time than
the grangers we're able to give. AT

for social commingling, but this
