"Out of the several thousand immi-
grants that have come into the United
States through the ports 81 Roma. Rio
Grande City, Hdalgo and Brownsville
there has not yet developed one case OF
typhus fever, % far a. we know. How
ever. in a number of cases we have found
persons carrying the typhus lice but
through cooperation with the officials on
the Mexican side Of the river these per
sons nave been thoroughly fumigated, be-
fore being permitted to enter the United
States.
1--WE are continuing 10 take every pos
sible precaution. and our surgeons are
maintaining the Strictest vigilance 10 pre-
vent this disease entering on this border.

P0ZIERES WON BY BRITISH
London and Berlin Tell of Capture of
Town, British War Office Reports
No Further Fighting.

London, July 27.-Following official
announcement both from London and
Berlin of the capture of the important
village of Pozieres, the British war
office reported in its statement that
there was no further fighting of any
consequence. This is taken to mean
that the Germans either have been un-
able 10 get organized for counter-at-
tack CT do not contemplate any.
The capture of Pozieres came after
four days of terrible fighting from
house to house In the little village.
There is scarcely q house In the vii
lage in which death has not been dealt
or received. The capture Of the posi-
ton was entirely the work of the Aus
tralians. 1t was their first big effort
on the western front.
The possession gives the British
troops domination of the highest point
overlooking the plateau on which the
German lines extend to the eastward.
