One Mosquito Responsible for Death
of PeODlo

Richmond Dispatch, Aug. Fl.
The theory that one mosquito COM
municated "pernicious'' malaria to
Mrs. John A. Skinner, ST., Frank
Skinner and John A. Skinner, Jr.,
of Highland Park, suburb of Rich
mond, was strengthened when the
last named died this morning follow
ing the death Of the other two in
quick succession.
The end Of both was violent. His
coughs is the last stage Of the dis
ease, which is more frequently, than
otherwise fatal.
A difference Of opinion prevails as
to the kind of mosquito that is sup
posed to have communicated the IA
tai disease to the Highland Park
victims. One theory is that it was
kind of mosquito found in the Dis
NAL swamp in certain sections of
North Carolina, parts Of the far
south and Panama where the disease
is sometimes known as blackwater
fever and is very often fatal.

A general strike of construction

W. w. secretary at Spokane, accord
ing to a dispatch of the goth from
San Francisco.
The swift and unexpected action
Sunday of military authorities at
Spokane in arresting Rowan and 26
other alleged Industrial Workers of
the World is believed to have had
" powerful influence in lettering
the radical members of the organi-

which, it is admitted, might have
had serious results.
The 27 men who were arrested by

Of the national guardsmen at Spo-

War Can be Won Only With Aid of
Well-Trained American Army

:. Major General Pershing, the Amer
lean commander in Paris, told the
Associated Press the other day that
the war can be won only by hard
and forceful blows delivered by a
well trained American army work
ing in conjunction with the allied ar
mics.
Deploring the lukewarmness OF
the American people in regard to
the war, General Pershing added:
every man, woman and child
should support the administration in
its determination to arm and equip
the American army and to keep UP
its morale and that of the allied ar
mics. This war will not be won by
talk Or by subscribing to the Rec
Cross The American people mus
come to a full realization OF what
the war means. 1t can be won only
by striking hard and foreful blows
not otherwise"
