Keokuk should take steps immed-

which is said to be the greatest car
rier of infantile paralysis germs. DR..
William Rankin who is in New York
now and has studied the infantile
paralysis outbreak there, writes to
The Gate City urging that Keokuk
take steps now to clean up stables
and any other breeding places for the
horse fly.
The New York board of health ac-
cording to the Keokuk doctor. Is
working overtime in the effort to
check the epidemic and the doctors
are directing their efforts on the
stables of New York trying to- clean
them up.
Keokuk should insist on cleaning
UP its stables If this is the case, and
stop any possible epidemic of infantile
paralysis. There has been consider
able rain here, and the conditions for
the flies breeding is said to be very
favorable. All moist places as well
as stables are found to be excellent
breeding grounds for these flies and
the consequent propagation of the fly.

THE FLAG GOES BY.

THE FLAG GOES BY.
Hats Off
Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles, a ruffle OF drums,
A flash of color beneath the sky;
Hats off.
The flag is passing by.
Blue and crimson and white it shines
Over the steel tipped order lines.
Hats off!
The colors before us fly,
But more than the flag is passing by.
Sea fights and land fights. grim and
great,
Fought to make and save the state;
Weary marches and sinking ships,
Cheers of victory on dying lips;
Days of plenty and years of peace,
March of strong lands swift In
crease;
Equal Justice, right and law,
Stately honor and reverenced law;
Sign of a nation great and strong
To ward her people from foreign
wrong,
Pride and glory and honor-all
Live in the colors to stand or fall.
Flats off!
Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums;
And loyal hearts are beating high;
Hats off!
The flag is passing by!

WASHINGTON, July 3.--Cessation
of the main part Of the great allied
drive. ON the Somme within ten days
without crushing the Germans
was the prediction Of military experts
here today.
The gigantic fight was termed ''the
final effort Of the allies to force Ger
many into making acceptable peace.
But experts judgment is that this
purpose will fail of accomplishment,
even though the British may spectacu.
larly force their way through first and
second German lines.
"In my opinion" said one Of the
foremost United States experts, "the
allies will finish as previously, that the
Germans will hold them. l am per-
fectly neutral in this matter, but have
believed just such move was COM
ing for more than a year. The Eng
apparently were urged to this
great battle by the success Of the
Russians in Bukowina. Some people
have thought Russia was about done
for, but this remarkable drive seems
to have given the allies new courage
Yet the Russian seems to lack the
something necessary to make his VIC
tory complete.
When the Englishman saw how the
Russian was progressing, he thought
1t was time to start something him
self. And, too, the Verdun situation
influenced the latest move, for you

cities for big mass meetings and the
tour will continue about month with
two weeks vacation in the Rockies

can get taste of his favorfte sport

didate nor Chairman Wilcox has yet
had chance to map out any itinerary
for Colonel Roosevelt, but it is ex.
pected that IL war with Mexico does
not deprive the republicans of the
former bull moose leaders aid, the
colonel will make tour Of consider

In view of the support of Francis

clared for Wilson in lengthy tele-
gram given out in Washington, the
republican chiefs were specializing on
the possibility of Governor Johnson

Musician is Leaving.

That Mrs. Amanda Barnes-Barham,
the harpist, is soon to leave to join
her husband in their new home at
Cedar Rapids, is distinct loss to
Keokuk unsteady. Mrs. Barham is a
talented pianist and has had a large
class both here and in Ft. Madison.
but her loss as a harpist will be
especially felt since there are COM
paratively few musicians who play on
that instrument. Mr.. Barham is a
cellist and violinist of much ability
and played both in Agnes orchestra
and in the orchestra at the Grand.
Before coming to Keokuh they made
