A SAD CASE OF "UNPREPARED.
NESS"
New York Daily WORLDLY

NNcW 1OrK Dally WOrlu.)
The Seventh cavalry has furnished
another deplorable example of the
"unpreparcdness" of the United
States army, the Seventh being Gus
! ter's old regiment.
After covering iifty-iivc miles in
seventeen hours through Mexican
wilderness, it surprised the Villa fore
es Wednesday and cut them to pieces
in tcn-mile running fight that lasted
five hours. None Of the American
troops was killed, and of the four
none was seriously wounded. The
Villistas left thirty dead on the field
and lost two machine guns, in addi-
ton to considerable military supplies
In addition, Col. Dodd's men released
large number of Carranza prisoners
who had been held for execution.
Villa is hiding with broken leg,
but his career is drawing rapidly to a
close. The result of the first engage
ment ought to remove any doubt that
the punitive expedition is fully capa-
bic of performing its task. 1t ought
also to stop some of the rotten cgging
of the United States army that has
been going OF ever since the Column
bus raid.
Because Il machine gun jammcd in
Il night attack and an aviator had
trouble with Il leaky gasoline tank,
the army has been held up to derision
by every half-bakcd preparedness"
agitator and by every cheap polite
ian who hoped to manufacture little
capital against the administration.
Evidently it was thought that by
slandering the army the President
could be hurt.
Unfortunately for its critics the
army has acquired the habit of giving
good account of itself in all circum-
stances, and what it has already done
in Mexico is crcditablc i'm the highest
degree. After the expedition started
it advanced through the desert faster
| than Won kluck's army moved over
| the perfect roads of Belgium and
| Northern France mt the beginning of
the European war. 1t has maintain
ed Il line of communication $50 miles
long through wilderness chiefly by
motor trucks, and while pursuing Vii
la IT has been winning the respect and
admiration of the natives in the coun-
try through which it is operating
Thanks to the confidence in the
honesty and integrity of the United
States which President Wilson has
inspired in the Mexican people, not Il
hostile shot has been fired ut an
American soldier since the expedition
started except by Villa bandits. In
stead of being surprised and ambush
ed, as hystcrical assailants of the
Administration predicted, the expcdi-
ton has not suffered u mishap and is
doing its work in a manner that calls
for the highest praise
We do not believe that either the
opposition to the President or the
campaign for preparedness is likely
TO profit much by throwing mud mt
the United States army.

LEPROSY IN TAZEWELL.

The appearance of q leper on the
street of any town in this State, or
any other State, causes excitement
and alarm. Officers of the law are no
titled at once, and the poor fellow is at
once ordered out of town or arrest
ed and confined in a pest house.
Should leper appear on the streets
of Tazewell, there would be Il scatter
ing of pedestrians, and children warn
ed to keep out of the way. Leprosy
is loathsome and incurablc disease,
and dreaded almost as much as death
itself. Butts lcprosy the worst dis
ease with which a community can be
afflicted? How about tuberculosis?
Leprosy is not contagious, cannot be
communicated, they tell us, except by
actual contact. Consumption is con-
tagious, can be communicated from
one person to another through food,
milk, water, clothing. The very winds
of heaven carry the deadly germs
Which is the more dangerous and in
fectious-a leper in your house, on
your streets, or consumption Con-
sumption, or tuberculosis, in its adj
vanced stages, is just as incurable as
leprosy. The end is certain in both
cases. Here is the practical and COM
forting de-tubcrculosis is prcventa-
BILE, and durable, if taken in its early
stages nine times out of ten. This
being the case it is entirely possible
to stamp out the dread disease within
a few years, if only the people knew
how and would take the necessary
cautions. No one, so far as known,
has ever died in Tazewel of lcprosy.
but can anybody tell how many score
people have gone from Tazcwell to
their graves within the last decade
from tuberculosis?
Our people are dying every year OF
tuberculosis and no concerted, intelli-
gent effort is made to stop it. We
have about stamped out smallpox and
other contagious epidcmics through
vaccination and other means. We can
do the same as to tuberculosis through
intelligent, persistent effort. Taze-
we'll is no more infected than some
other counties. We want to make
this clear, but ought not some steps
be taken to put stop to this great
white plague?

N. & W. FINANCIAL
STATEMENT GOOD
NET INCOME FOR FEBRUARY Is
THREE TIMES GREATER
THAN IN 1915.
(From The Roanoke Times of
Tuesday,

IucSday.)
Dropping slightly behind the rev.
cnues for January. but showing up in
strong contrast to the same period of
last year, the statement of the Nor
folk and Western Railway Company
for February shows total operating
revenue of SI,5SS,4 l5.S3.
The operating revenue for Februa-
~ 1918 was but $2,939, I2l .46. show
ing an increase for the present wear
of 81 $40, 29l.37 for the month of Feb
ruary. Operating expenses for Feb
ruary of this year, while larger than
during the same period of time in
1913, do not show an increase i'm pro-
portion to the gain in revenue. This
yea rthc expenses amounted TO So
o22, 1868, while in 1915 they totailed
y O2G, 09l.lG, or nm increase of S496.-
635,59. Figuring in percentages, the
operating revenues increased So per
cent, while the expenses increased
but % per cent.
me most remarkable figures of the
FEBRUARY statement, however, are
found IN tn net income column, which
Tor February, 1916, was 81 .664 .293. OF
and WAS but $50l ,5S9.45 i'm 1915. II
can easily be seen that the net income
TINS year is more than three times
greater than for the same period of
1915.
The net income for the eight
months, from July to February Doth
Is double that of the same period last
year. In the eight month period of
i9l5, the net income of the road was
%6,229,26l.2S. For the same period
inns year 1t is $40, S66, 100.S5.

AN INNOCENT At OYSTER BAY.
New York WORLDLY

Our old friend, Augustus p. Gard
ner is probably IL shrewd, discerning
politician according to Massachu-
setts standards. but he is too artlcss
and ingenious for these diggings.
After long conference with Col.
Roosevelt ut Oyster Bay, Mr.. Gard
ncr returned to Washington and told
The correspondents that the Colonel
Is IA different man from the Roose-
welt OF four years ago." that "he was
not thinking of his personal ambition
to be President so much as he was of
The election of Republican Presi-
dent who fitted into the situation in
the United States"
This is characteristic of the Colo
mel. He never thinks about himself
but always about the election of Il
Republican President who fits into the
situation. And the more the Colonel
thinks about it the surer he becomes
that the only Republican who fits into
the situation lives at Sycamore Hill
IN the Town of Oyster Bay, County
OF Nassau, State of New York, SIS.
Even while Mr. Gardner was hymn
ing his hymn to the Coloncl's disin-
terestedness, the ineifable George w
Aldrldge, Francis Hendricks and Bill
Ward, all famous fir their devotion
to the cause of social Justice, were
framing up a job to turn the New
York delegation to the Republican
National convention over to Roosc-
welt. OF course the Colonel is not
thinking of his personal ambition
and MIR. Gardner is quite right The
Colonel cares no more about geetting
the Republican nomination for Pres,
dent that the Kaiser cares about win
ming the war.

covered q new agent, called uAnuric,"
which will throw out and completely
eradicate this uric acid from the sys-
tenn. "Anuric" has proved to be 81
times more potent than Hthia, and

dependent on an accumulation of uric
acid within the Lody. Send to DIR.
