"Unless the central powers

CALLS FOR COOPERATION
OF VIRGINIA MAYORS
State Health Commissioners williams
Sends Out Letter of Warning to
All Cities In State

Pursuing it's campaign OF co-opera-
ton in the general movement to pre-
vent the ,infantile paralysis scourge
from gaining foothold in Virginia.
the State Health Department yesterday
sent out to the Mayors of the State u
letter urging local precautionary meas
ureS
The letter reads in part as follows:
Grave apprehension is felt that thu
present epidemic of infantiie paralysis
in New York and other Northern States
may spread TO Virginia. To prevent
this the State and local governments
must cooperate actively and imme-
diateiy. !. therefore. appeal to you to
do your part in protecting the state
from this dismal scourge by taking
proper sanitary precautions.
Exact method by which infantile
paralysis is spread Is not fully known.
but 1t is believed that the germ Cor
infectious agcnD is carried in the Sc
crettons of the nose and mouth. and
In the bowel discharges OF persons
VINO have the disease There may be
some carriers who show no signs
Of the disease. but have the germs in
their bodies.
ITO prevent the spread Of a disease
conveyed in this manner 1t is neces-
sary:
First. to have sewerage system,
with which all houses are Connected
or to have dry closets at every home
90 arranged and kept that they cannot
endanger any scource OF drinking
water or be accessible to flies and anil
mails
Second, premises should be kept
clean to pevent the breeding of flies,
and garbage should be removed reg
ularly.
Third. common drinking cups must
be prohibited in the schools and other
pubic places. including soda fountains,
stores. hotels and restaurants.
Fourth, all food supplies should be
protected from flies, especially those
supplies eaten without cooking. This
is required by law.
ruth, children should be made to
avoid close contact, especially indoors.
and should be taught to cover their
noses and mouths or turn their faces
downward when coughing and sneez-
ing. Children likewise endanger their
health by putting their fingers I'm their
mouths.
This is time when every town and
city stands in special need OF a COM
peter, trained health Office. Nothing
that can be done will give the same
protection for the same money as to
nave these necessary precautions taken
unuer the eyes OF man who knows
what he is doing. I urge YOU most
earnestly to leave no stone unturned
IN. helping protect Virginia aeainst
the probable appearance OF infanttle
paralysis and | shall be glad to have
statement from you as TO what has
been done by YOU and what is planned.
we cannot afford to take chances"

IRISH HOME RULE SPEECH
DEFENDED BY LANSDOWNE
Delivered. He Says. After Consulta-
ton With Premier and Other
Ministers.

LONDON. July 1.-THE Marquis OF
Lansdowne. replying In written
statement to John Redmond's charge
that his speech in the House of Lords
tuesday was declaration OF war
against Ireland, announced that the
speech was made after consultation
with Premier Asquith and other mem.
hers of the government.
In making my statement" he writes,
as to the permanent character or
certain provisions of the amending bill.
l did not intend to go, and / do not con-
slider that did go. beyond the deciara-
ton made by the Prime Minister in
the House OF Commons that the union
of six counties with the rest Of Ire
land could only be brought about with,
and could never be brought about with
out. the free will and consent of the
excluded areas.
My statement with regard to the
government OF Ireland during the in
teryal which must elapse between the
present moment and the passing of the
amending bill represented what 1 be-
lieve to be the views Of the govern
ment, and were made after consulta-
ton with the Primes Minister and others
of my colleagues"
In Lord Lansdowne's speech OF
Tuesday he declared that the amend
ing bill would make structural altera-
tions in the home rule act OF 1914,
while other provisions were merely
temporary. This statement evoked a
passionate protest from Mr.. Redmond
who declared that it indicated a gross
breach of faith and was a gross insult
to Ireland. Mr.. Redmond asserted that
'if this speech be taken as represent
ing the attitude and spirit of the gov
eminent toward Ireland, there is an
end OF all hopes of settlement"
