WHOLE NATION JOINS
IN PARALYSIS FIGHT
Infantile Scourge Spreads to Nine
States Outside of New York.

NEW YORK, July s.-The
germs of infantile paralysis are
doing more deadly work than ever
among babies. They attacked
not only eighty-seven more chill
dren in this city and killed twenty
two, in the last twenty-four hours,
making a total number Of 7e7 cases
and 1876 deaths in this city, but they
affected babies in nine other States
outside of New York, and also in
Montreal.
The health department, tackling
the biggest problem in many years,
sought to expand its facilities to
cope with the situation.
The United States Public Health
Service is sending six experts to
help in the fight, and it is hoped
the American Red Cross today will
lend its aid in furnishing nurses,
doctors and ambulances.

about "knocking" the President on
the Mexican question, it is pleasant to
bark back and read what Republi-
can papers thought at the time it
was engrossing the attention of our
people. AS sample out of hundreds
of such editorials, I give place to the
following from the Boston Advertiser,
whose Republicanism was never
questioned:
Thanks to Woodrow Wilson's stead
fast adherence to the ways of peace,
in face of widespread and hysterical
clamor for war, this country is to-day
vast workshop instead of an armed
camp. Instead of having sown the
seed of lasting hatred in the breast of

strengthened the bonds of friendship
and won the respect and trust of all
the nations Of the two Americas. Nor

prestige in the eyes of the warlike
nations Of Europe.

of Wilson would be hailed with glee
by every foreign militaristic power
with a grievance against the United
States because of her living demon
stration of the beneficence of govern
