the war, or of any matter relating thereto,
without printing IN i column parallel to that

opposition ON the part OF publishers ~
some of the German language papers. II

proposed law. they would he thanktni that

PHYSICAL RECLAMATION or MEN.
lFort Worth Recorl.l

DIR. Dudley A. Sargent of Harvard uni

To meet the health requirements Of military
service. OF the largest and strongest 81
our country folk pouring into our cltie~
barely one OF their descendants ever at
tains to the third generation.
These are startling statements. but they
express what the country has suddenly
been forced Ia realize. The exemption
boards Of lay physicians are finding the
percentage of physically defective men
amazingly large and the final wedding out
by military surgeons will increase the
number.
No suggestion for dealing with material
problems of the war j. more sensible or
likely 10 be 80 far reaching in it, effects
after the war a. that Of reclaimIng "a
sound physical condition this enormous
proportion Of the men of our country that
are physically defective.
DIR. John III. Quayle, an experienced
specialist of Cleveland. has proposed to
the government a plan whereby he believes
possibly 90 per cent OF such men can be-
restored to normal condition and rendered
fit for any service asked Of them. Ills
plan calls for reclamation camps IN which
recoverable men would be recovered. See
rotary OF War Baker and other govern
ment heads approve the idea.
DIR. Quayle j. confident that very few
are irremediablv impaired: most who fall
below military requirements d. - because
Of bad teeth. flat feet. hernia. imperfect
vision or hearing. functional arrangement
ri the heart. slight bone curvainreS. lack
of weight, excess of weight. OF other affec-
tons which under proper medical and sur
gical treatment can be removed.
Such reclamation Of men would be the
means Of establishing among ~ 4 new

YOURS FOR FIRE PROTECTION.

YOURS FOR FIRE PROTECTION.
The state fire insurance commission has
spoken. Ii has said that Brownsvllle's fire
fighting facilities are entirely Inadequate
That. We knew before. Long ago, and
more than once, The Herald has pointed
10 the necessity for improving omr fire de
partment. Everyone has known for long
that the department was almost useless
when il came to fighting fire. Everyone
realized that the Town was running u risk
in permitting the tire department to re
main in such = state.
But fs~ otyss. sRerhaps, realized just
how mach improvement was needed, "r
how great WAS the actual risk which the
incurred by its failure to equip she
fire department n it should be.
Now we do know. The fire insurance
commission has spoken very plainly. II
has given u every detail. 1t has pointed
the only way to safety from fire.
The only remaining thing for Browns
Vile to do j. to make the necessary i'm
provemonts without delay.
The money, Well. the revenue from
the wafer and light plant would pay for
the expenditure within a comparatively
short time The plant has been a money
maker for years
Now that we have fully awakened ia
the great danger Of delay in e%quippine our
fire department a. it should be, we do de-
mand that the matter be attended To with
ont further delay.
Remember. il l. not only n reduction in
the key rate ut our fire insurance prem
ium~ that we WANT j. protection FOR AL
OF our homes and all of orr city property.
for human life itself. that We demand. The
price we paw for our insurance j. the least
consideration. We want 10 save the tovn
from fire disasters that the insurance
could never repair in full.
The citv government can do this thing.
Ii owes il TO the city. a. we'll a. 10 itself.
to do it without n moments unnecessary
DELAY.
