Soldier Gives Son His
Pipe Before Leaving Camp

Heartrending scenes by the score
were enacted in Camp Brumbaugh
yesterday when wives saw their hus-
bands, mothers their sons and sweet
hearts for the last time before the
men departed for the border, but of
all the sights, none was more impress
sive than the parting kiss given by a
member or the Fourth regiment to
his little son. The soldier-father
lives in Williamstown and he wrote
to his wife that she should visit him
yesterday because it would likely be
his last Sunday in camp. He did not
fail to note, either that the five-year-
old son should see him, too. When
the time for parting came late yester-
day, the little boy looked up into his
fathers tear-filled eyes as he said:
Daddy, I won't let you go from me
and mamma to that old war unless
you give me something to keep" SOL
diers carry very little with them that
they can give away but when the lad
said, Give me your pipe" the father
removed it from his mouth, dumped
out the ashes and after tying a bit of
red, white and blue ribbon about the
rou-npiece, gave it to the boy.

High Meat Prices Will
Continue Indefinitely
By Associated Press

Washington, July 5. - High meat
prices probably will continue indie
initely. This is the conclusion of the
Department of Agriculture as set forth
in an exhaustive report on the situa-
tfon, made public to-day.
High meat prices prevail throughout
the world. One reason for this is the
fact that production has failed to keen
pace with the increased consumption.
Other contributory causes given are
the increase of production and the di-
minished purchasing power of the
money unit. An interesting feature in
the United States is that while the pro
duction of meat is on the increase it is
not yet proportionate to the growth of
the population.
While holding out little or no hope
to-day for reduction in meat prices
for the near future. the report saws
there will probably be gradual
growth and expansion in the world 3
production of beef, mutton and pork
which may or may not equal the rate
of increase o fthe meat-eating popu-
Qation.

PARALYSIS KILLS
ONE AN HOUR
178 New Cases in Brooklyn;
Few Have Chance to Recover;
Epidemic Is Spreading
By associated Press

New York, July 5.-The average of
one death an hour was maintained
to-day by the infantile paralysis epi-
demic, twelve children dying of the
disease between 10 o'clock last night
and 10 o'clock this morning in the five
boroughs of New York.
During that period there were 17S
new cases reported. OF this number
l57 were in or near the seat of the cpl
demic in Brooklyn.
In one Brooklyn hospital to-day
there were 225 children victims of
the disease. many of whom, it was
said, had only a slight chance of re-
covery.
Health Commissioner Emerson was
in conference to-day with his assist
ants and corps of medical experts.
1t is understood that drastic measures
to rid the city OF the plague are under
consideration.
Total of 7O2 Cases
The officers of the health depart
ment were besieged all day by men,
women and children, mostly foreign
ers, who, terrified by reports of the
spread of the disease, demanded med
ical advice. 1t was necessary to sum-
mon extra policemen to preserve order
and at one time those sitting for an
audience with the doctors formed a
line which extended for nearly a block.
Since June 26. when the epidemic
took hold, 702 cases of infantile pa
ralysis have been reported. Of this
number 1913 died.
Physicians fighting the disease were
of the belief to-day that cooler
weather which followed a shower
would do more good than anything
else in routing the plague.
