LITTLE SERIOUS ILLNESS
IN THE j. S. NAVY
Surgeon-GeneraI Braisted Reports
Navy's Health Good.
MEASLES AND MUMPS HOLD ON
Shore Stations Ia Excellent S,ape, Ex.
ceps San Francisco, Where Some
Sickness Is Reported

Practically a clean bill of health
was given Uncle Sans Navy in
statement issued last night by Sur
geon General Braisted Measles and
mumps appear to be the only diseases
that are giving the iack-tars any trou-
bic, yet neither of these maladies is
taking any great hold except at the
shore station at San Francisco,
1t will be recalled that several
months ago when critics of the Ad-
ministration sought TO make it APP
pear that health conditions in the
navy were extremely bad. Secretary
Daniels appointed a commission of
physicians Of undisputed standing in
civil life. headed by DR.. William III.
Welch, of the Johns Hopkins Medical
School, to investigate The report of
this board of eminent doctors was a
complete yindication of the navy
In his statement, Surgeon General
Braisted said:
Health conditions in the navy.
afioat and ashore, are, on the whole,
very good, there being little serious
illness Some cases OF measles and
mumps continue TO be reported from
the Atlantic feet Measles is less pre-
valent than mumps at tlre present
time, averaging only 10 cases a week
for the whole force afioat.
Conditions are excellent at all the
shore stations. except at the naval
training station at San Francisco,
where there are a number of cases
of measles and mumps
Sanitary measures which are be-
ing put into effect at all shore sta
tions are having a good influence in
many nearby cities and towns. San
ity surveys of practically all the ports
in which section bases are located
have been made by sanitary officers
attached to the various naval dis
tricts.
In many instances where unsatis-
factory conditions have been found
the local authorities have responded
promptly to suggestions and they are
showing a spirit of cooperation
which is very gratifying, leading as
it does to cleaner food, improvement
of milk and water supplies, better
methods of garbage and sewage dis
posal and to campaigns against the fly
and mosquito
I'm many places the sanitary work
which is being done by the navy
amounts to an educational process
which will lead to permanent improve
ment in the sanitation of those civil
communities which have felt the in
fiuence of the navy"

KENT ISLAND PLAN
KILLED BY CONGRESS
House. Knocks Out Appropriation
For Station
WAR DEPARTMENT UPSET
Maryland Solons at Odds Over Taking
Land For Proving
Grounds.

There will be no proving station for
the testing of ammunition at Kent
Island
The plan OF the War Department
10 use this ground for the purpose was
defeated yesterday. when tire Senate
Military Affairs Committee ruled
against the project, and again when
the whole proving ground appropria-
tion was killed in the House upon
point of order.
The action OF the Senate commit
tee, to which the matter had been re-
ferred for arbitration, was unanimous.
When the acting Speaker of the
House ruled the whole appropriation
out of order, upon the point raised
by Representative Sisson, there was
no appeal from his decision.
As the matter stands now the War
Department is not only deprived of
Kent Island, but it is deprived of a
proving ground for testing ammuni-
ton there or anywhere else. The
whole appropriation went out of the
bill, leaving the War Department help.
less.
Senator Smith To Rescue.
The seriousness of this situation
was quickly realized The friends of
Kent Island themselves realized it,
and Senator John Walter Smith, who
had led the fight for the. islanders, an
nounced early in the afternoon that
he would see that the proving ground
appropriation was put back in the bill
before the Senate passes it. He does
not want to he in the position of say
ing to the government that it shall not
have proving ground
Representative Coady was the only
Marylander who stood with the War
Department III the contest. He wen.
upon the floor of the House prepared
10 make a lone fight against the whole
group of his colleagues. He was ready
10 speak against them and to use all
he influence he had in support of the
departments program. But his speech
was never made. When the techni-
cal point was made against the appro-
Driation the 100000 went bodily out
OF the bill, and there was nothing to
speak to.
Accuses His Colleagues.
If Mr.. Coady could have gained the
floor. however, he would have de-
nounced the course of the Kent Is
landers as unpatriotic, and would have
charged Representatives Linthicum
and Price Of bald inconsistency in the
stand they we're taking, citing their
record in the Baltimore civic centre
project when it was before the State
Senate
IF | had been given chance to-
day" said Mr.. Coady, Il should have
told the House that the people OF
Maryland had no more right to ask
that Kent Island be exempted from
draft as military property than the
State has to ask that its young men
be exempted from military service. 1
would have shown. moreover, that we
we're in the act of discriminating
against every other State in support
ing the amendment which Mr.. Price
was about to offer"

recently. and the hurried plans look
ing to the arrangement of a new

the journey to Annapolis. However,
the schedule will be a fairly strong
one under the circumstances.
