Washington. - An official report
from the British government on the
British liner Arabia, sunk by sub
marine without warning in the Med

Washington.-One more appeal for
modification OF the protocol providing
for the withdrawal of American troops
from Mexico is made by Gen. Car
rama in message just delivered to
Secretary Lane by Luis Cabrera, the
chairman Of the Mexican members Of
the joint commission. The Mexican
first chief replied to the insistent

signed by his spokesmen at Atlantic
City be ratified, with an S0O-word doc
ument in which he failed to accede to
the demand, but refrained from writ

The latest suggestion for changes in
the agreement will be construed by
the three American representatives.,
Secretary Lane, J. r. Mott and Judge
George Gray. Secretary Lane advised
his colleagues of the character of the
reply and askd them to meet him here
as soon as practicable.
A joint session of the Mexican

GENERAL NOTIFICATION SENT TO
ALL COUNTY HEALTH oFFI-
GERS TO CLEAN UP.
URGES BETTER SANITATION
Health Officers Are Empowered With
Ample Authority to Enforce the
Laws and State Board In
sists On Activity.

--JdCk6Ous
With plea for cooperative effcien-
cy in carrying on the health work Of
Mississippi through the coming year,
DR.. Willis Valley, chief sanitary in
spector Of the state board Of health
forces, has Addressed a letter filed
with practical suggestions to the corps
of health officers over whom he exer.
cised general official scrutiny. In this
letter DR.. VALLEY states, as a matter
Of information, that they are getting
up a complete tabulated report Of the
county health work accomplished
throughout the year, which will short
ly be ready for circulation. In the
course of. the letter DIR. VALLEY writes;
During the passing year have not
been able to visit each county Of the
state and work in person with you, as
1 had hoped to do, but If everything is
favorable, as / hope it will be. it is my
purpose to visit each county Of the
state the coming year, taking first
those have been unable to visit this
year. would like to urge the county
health officers during the coming year
to, as far as possible, teach the peo-
pie that the county health officer has
the same power to prosecute in the
courts as l have and see to it that
they comply with our regulations.
From summary Of the annual reports
recently sent in by practically every
health officer of the state, It seems
that it is well agreed that the educa.
tional feature Of our work through the
public schools is perhaps the most
important to be done, and in this
want to heartily agree
81 would like to urge each Of the
health officers to make every effort
possible during 1917 to improve over
this year. Let our new year resolu-
ton be a cleaner, healthier town
And last, permit me to thank you
most cordially for the uniform cour
tesies shown me, for which shall feel
under deep and lasting obligations. ]
would have each county health officer
know that have the kindliest feeling
for the health officers and their work,
and can always be depended upon to
render them any assistance in my
power in our work or otherwise, at
any time, and a command from any
one of you will receive my prompt at
tention."
