treated the Ford party with
every consideration, passing them
through that country from the
Baltic Sea to the Holland border,
without examining a trunk or
looking into a handbag. and

cordial goodbye as the train
pulled out for Holland.
1t is Col. Henry's opinion that
Germany, having the better of
the war, would be glad to dis
cuss peace terms, but he is salts
fed the Allies woull not even
consider the proposition at this
time. He talked with Germans,
Englishmen, Frenchmen and
others, and formed his opinions
on expressions he heard from
representatives of belligerent
countries.

vessels were carrying our cotton
at % cents per hundred pounds
and were satisfied to continue to
do so, but as soon as these YES
sells were withdrawn from
freight service, many of them
being called in by the governs
ments of Europe to be converted
into naval auxiliary ships, freight
rates jumped to exorbitant fig
ures, and the southern cotton
producer was compelled to pay
just what rates they saw fit to
impose upon him.
Some of the members of the
Senate who opposed the ship
purchase bill at the last session
of congress have intimated that
they would support it this time,
and Senator Vardaman has said
that he would do so if instruct
ed by the people of Mississippi. :"
The statement can be construed
as an invition for the people of
Mississippi to write him express
ing their views upon the ques-
ton. What has been done is a
matter of the past. What can
be done is the question which
should concern the people of this
state. We believe that a vast
majority of them are of the opin-
ion that Senator Vardaman made
a mistake in opposing the bill:
The Senator has also indicated
that he is willing to be set right
if his views are opposed to those
of majority Of the people whom
he represents. There is only one
way by which he can know this.
Let them speak out in the
matter; write the Senator let
ter telling him that the people of
Mississippi favor the passage of
the ship purchasing bill; that
they are losing money every day
because of a want of ships to
carry the product of their labor
to foreign markets at a reasona-
BILE rate, and that, with Presi-
dent Wilson, they believe that
America should no longer be at
the mercy of Europe in the mat
ter of hauling her products to
market; and that if the Senator
is sincere in what he says, he
will cast his vote with the great
majority of his party and the
ship purchasing bill will be en-
acted into law.

COL. HENRY RETURNS FROM
PEACE TRIP.

Col. R. H. Henry, the popular
and brilliant editor of the Jack
son Clarion-Ledger, who was the
Mississippi representative on the
Ford Peace Expedition to Eu-
rope, returned Monday to his
home at Jackson, having made
brief stops at New York, Chica-
go and Detroit. He is highly
pleased with the trip, and says
he hopes that good may ulti-
mately result from it.
ION its face" said Col. Hen
ry, nothing has as yet come
from the expedition; but the en-
terprise has given the world a
thought to discuss, which, in the
future, may result in great
good"
Asked what he thought of
Henry Ford, Col. Henry said:
He is pure-minded. sweet and
lovable man, who is doing more
than any person in this country
to benefit his fellow-man, and
was actuated by the noblest pur-
poses when he agreed to finance
the peace ship, hoping that some
good might come from the expe-
dition; that Ford did not origi-
nate the idea, but Madam Rosika
Schwimmer did, having been one
of the originators of the Woman's
Peace Conference held at The
Hague last April. She presented
her plans to Ford, with state
ments that she had documents
from the belligerent countries to
the effect that they would hail
any movement looking to peace
and induced the Detroit million

finance the proposition.

THE PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO
INSTRUCT HIM.
(From the Clarion -Ledgsr.)

The ship purchase bill, which
failed in the last congress be-
cause of the opposition of a half
dozen democratic senators, will
be one of the live issues OF the
present congress.
Senator Vardaman, who was
one OF the six democratic sena-
tors who voted against the bill,
in a recent interview declares
that he is still unalterably OPP
posed to it, and that the only
thing that would induce him to
vote for it would be instruct
ions from the people Of Mlsslss-
ippi." 80,
In justice to Senator Varda-
man we credit him with honesty
in his views upon this measure,
but at the same time cannot help
from believing that his vote and
those of his colleagues who took
the same view, cost the people OF
Mississippi during the past year
from SO, 600, 900 to $40, 100000.
When this bill was before con,
gress during the last session and
as late as July, 1914. the freight
rate on cotton to Liverpool was
28 cents per one hundred pounds,
or 81 40 per bale of 500 pounds.
On December 9, 1915, the freight
rate on the same class OF cotton
to the same point of shipment
had been raised to So per hum
dred pounds or $40 per bale OF
500 pounds; a difference OF S8.6O
per bale.
On the same date, in July,
1914. the insurance rates on cot
ton on all vessels of the firstclass
from New Orleans to Liverpool
was 1916 of one per cent. After
the war started the rate was
raised 2 per cent. additional on
British vessels; 3 per cent. on
French vessels; 3 per cent. on
neutral vessels, and Il per cent.
on American vessels; this in adj
dition to the rate already in ex-
istence. Soon after this the
United States government went
into the insurance business, and
the war risk on American YES
sells, which was i per cent,
dropped to 3-8 of one per cent.
showing a saving as result OF
the government going into the
insurance business of l 1-8 per
cent.
If such a saving could have
been accomplished by the gov
eminent going into competition
with the foreign trust in the
aIaaoc ooaaarine insurance, why
80 1T like results follow if
the American government, or
the American ship. builders
should enter into competition
with foreign governments and
ship owners in the matter of
ocean carrying vessels? AS long
rs foreign ship owners are al
lowed to do all the business,
they will continue to collect all
the freight they can squeeze out
Of the American shipper.
The above figures show that
freight rates were increased
more than So per bale on Ameri-
can cotton. Mississippi produces
about one million bales per year,
so that during the past year the
cotton raisers of this state lost
fully $4,000, 600 in the matter of
freight rates alone.

THE WORK OF BANISHlNG
MALARIA.

Persons who are in the habit
of reading the daily papers per-
haps have noticed that an effort
is now being made by the health
department to rid one county in
Mississippi of the pestersome all
ment called malaria.
A person may have malaria in
his or her system without being
fully aware of the fact. Evident
ly malaria, when once it has en-
tered the system, will grow and
eventually produce fever, and
become difficult to cure. 1t is
conceded that a certain mosqui-
to is the carrier" of the mala-
ria germ and introduces it by it's
bite into the system of a healthy
human being, and thereby makes
the human being i'll with mala-
ria; and later ION, malarial fever
sets in.
The Mississippi State Health
officers, under the international
Health Association, have select
ed Bolivar county in which to
make the first attempt to 'abol-
ish" malaria from it's limits.
DR.. w. S. feathers, dean of
the medical faculty at the Uni
versity at Oxford, as head of the
health department of our state,
assisted by DR.. G. C. Bass, of
New Orleans, as active field
leader of the campaign, have Sc

lected five doctors to engage III
the work against malaria I'd that
county, to-wit: DR.. Aiken and
DR.. Sharp, New Orleans; Or.
DedWylder, Clarke county; DR..
Dorsey, Union county; and Or.
Whitfield, Rankin county.
DR.. Sharp will be at The lead
of the laboratory at Cleveland,
the county seat. Under his d.
rection five ladies' will be micro
scopists, whose duty it will BE- to
examine the blood drawn from
the persons outer ears for germs
of malaria.
No doubt many Of our readers
will be curious to know how the
doctors will proceed to Danish
malaria from an entire county.
The process is simple.
The individuals themselves
must cooperate with these .doc-
tors. A section of Bolivar coun-
| ty, of a few miles square, inhab-
tied by white people will be. the
first field of operations. The
citizens of this section will be in
vited to gather at some public
place to hear lectures on malaria
and learn how to remove it from
the systems of those who are in
fected. After the lectures the
supposed patient or sufferer.
and the supposed we'll men, and
women as we'll, glad to be re-
lieved of the infection, or to
learn whether they are infected.
will permit the doctor to extract
one drop of blood from the lower
part of the outer ear, called the
Lobule. This extracted blood is
placed on a piece of glass and,
we'll protected from any foreign
substance, delivered to the labor
atory, inserted in the microscope
and thoroughly and carefully ex-
amined for germs. If germs Of
malaria be discovered, the pa
'tient is given, free of charge, 10
grains Of quinine for each day
for 30 days, at the end of which
period he is supposed to be re-
lieved of the infection.
But to prevent a return Of the
infection through further mos
quito bite to this now cured case,
every member of his or her fam
lily must submit to the blood test,
and take the quinine treatment
at the same time. This done,
the mosquito draws no poison to
infect the we'll cases.
This same mode of operation
applies to an entire neighbor-
hood, the same as to a single
family. So, in like manner, an
entire county becomes relieved of
malaria.
After the whites have been
treated, in their neighborhoods
or sections, the colored people in
the same section receive atten-
ton.
It will probably be recommend
ed, or suggested, to the cured,
and to the unaffected persons,
too, that they take a little quin-
inc daily to keep themselves i'm
mune to the malaria germs. In
this way malaria is STAYED off. If
quinine dosing be persisted in
daily, by the individuals of a
county, that county becomes free
of malaria.
The doctors engaged in this
fight to abolish malaria, have
been advised to daily dose them
selves with 5 grains of quinine
in order to keep themselves inn
mune while exposed to mosquito

Kovel and Lerlberg Face
Inevitable Fall Before
Russian Advance, Belief

Petrograd. (via London), Aug. l.
In the region of Brody on the Volhy-
man and Galician frontier, Russian
troops are pursuing the Austro-Ger-
man armies, 1t was officially announced
here today, and have reached the riv-
ers Graberki and Sereth.
London, Aug. 1.-The early fall Of
Lemberg and Kovel before the Russian
advance Is thought probable. How the
Germans, pressed in the west by the
Anglo French and in Courland by the
Russians under Kuroptakin, will be
able to reinforce Generals Won Linsing-
en- and Won Bothmer, is something not
easily explained. General Brusiloffs
striking victories present the German
general staff with the imperative prob
lem of how to reinforce the eastern
front, since General Won Linsingen,
who was sent by the Germans to aid
the shattered Austrians, now has been
completely thrust back from the Lutsk
salient.
The Russians remarkable victories
reveal most interesting situation. The

London, July 31.-The 0utch mail
steamship Koningin Wnhelmina has
struck a mine near the North Hinder
lightship, says a dispatch from The
Hague to Reuters Telegram company.
The passengers left the vessel in the

The captain for the Koningin Will
helmina reported by wireless that his
ship had struck a mine near North
Hinder and that only the aft part Of
the vessel was out Of water.
Boats, with the passengers, left the
steamer, but after a while returned.
Later, passengers took to the boats
again and proceeded to the Dutch

ARAB REBELS TAKE
TURKISH FORTRESS
Town of Yembo on Red Sea
Occupied and Garrison
Made Prisoners.

London. Aug. IAN Arab force dis
patched to the Hejas coast of the Red
sea after the fall Of Jeddah, has taken
the Turkish town and fort of Yembo,
says a dispatch from Rome to Reuters
Telegram company. The troops in the
Turkish garrison were made prisoners
and guns and munitions were captured.
Apparently, the dispatch adds, the
grand sheriff Of Mecca Is putting his
house in order. He is arranging for
the publication OF a weekly official
journal whereby the news and opinions
may be conveyed to the public. He has
appointed an Arab to collect the GUS
toms at Jeddah, has nominated doc
tors to study hygiene in the army and
has named competent police instruc-
tor.
The grand sheriff of Mecca, the chief
magistrate of the Holy City, pro-
claimed his independence of Ottoman
rule early in June and was supported
by Arab tribes in the west and central
parts OF Arabia. The sheriff began OPP
erations about June 8, and in a short
time captured the garrisons OF Mecca,
Jeddah, the chief seaport of Arabia,
and the town of Taft.
Yembo is the Red sea port of the city
of Medina, which lies 125 miles to the
west1 Yembo is situated on a low
sandy and bare tract and has a shell
tered harbor. 1t is place of transit
of pilgrims from Egypt to the holy
cities Of Arabia.

NORTHWEST HEAT
WAVE IS BROKEN
284 Deaths and 400 ProStra-
tons In ChiCago-High Tenn
peratureS Still Prevail
In the East.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-The end Of one of
the worst heat periods Chicago ever
experienced came today on the wings
OF an 1S-mile wind from the north. A
drop of % degrees in temperature from
1902, the highest record reached yFster-
day, was recorded at n. m, when the
government thermometer registered 81.
The wind sprang up at 4 o'clock and
gradually increased in velocity, the
weather bureau predicting it would
shift to the northeast, whence comes
the usual cooling lake breeze" Lake
Michigan, yesterday nearly as smooth
as glass, today was covered with white
caps.
The hot spell began July l, since
which time the temperature was con-
stantly above normal. Yesterday
record was 20 degrees higher than the
normal. There is no indication of a
return Of the heat for days, according
to the weather bureau.
Latest figures show that 2S4 persons
died in Chicago directly or indirectly
from the effects Of the heat.
Chicago, after yesterdays tragedy OF
115 deaths attributed to the heat and
more than 400 prostrations for the most
part slept out doors again last night.
The numerous parks of the city were
vast sleeping apartments and Lake
Michigan, the friend of rich and poor
alike, furnished comfort to thousands
Of batherS as late as midnight. On many
Of the beaches the usual regulations
were forgotten. More than 100000 per-
sons, il was estimated, spent yesterday
and last night in the lake and nearly as
many were turned away because or lack
Of accommodations.
The record breaking death rate OF
the last week has seriously tested the
facilities Of the cOronerS OFFICE. The
high mortality among infants has been
the most distressing phase OF the stu
alton. Upwards of so babies were re-
ported to have succumbed to the neat
during yesterday.
Cool Wave Is Due.
The local forecaster is authority for
the statement that today is TO be just
like Yesterday, only perhaps not quite
SO warm Last night he said he would
be surprised if the thermometer failed
to go above 80 degrees. The promise
Of cooler weather was made good so
far as the Lake Superior region was
concerned, last night, according to the
forecaster.
The cool wave, which is coming from
the northwest, is moving faster on its
north sad than it is on its south end.
No hove OF rain Immediately is held
out however, simply lower tempera-
lures.
The government temperature at 7
O'Clock this morning. in Chicago was
so degrees, three degrees lower than
on Saturday morning at the same time,
Brisk winds made 1t seem as II the
predicted cool wave had come sooner
than expected.
