The solar eclipse of June s, 1918,
with a total phase of minute and a

ington. at $50 p. m. Pacific. time, and
will cross to the Atlantic In south

ing the coast of Florida at 6 40 east
ern time, and vanishing 400 miles at

Good Resulting From War.

Carlyle has said somewhere that CIV
ilizatlon rides on gun carriage. So
does the genius of public health. The
Spanish war initiated, through its medf-
cal officers, another war-the one with
yellow fever. The battle against ty-
phoid was waged more vigorously and
Systematically in the American army
than anywhere else. The building of
the Panama canal, largely for naval
purposes, completed the conquest of
both yellow fever and typhoid. The
number of lives which have been and
will be saved by these two victories of
science undoubtedly exceeds many
times all the losses of the present war.

Report at Jackson.
Although no official order has been
issued by the war department, 1t Is
probable that the First Mississippi
regiment will be returned within the
next thirty days.
During the last few days several
members of the regiment who are at
home on furloughs have received in
structions not to return to Fort Sam
Houston, but to report in Jackson to
be mustered out, and this is taken to
mean that the regiment will be on the
border only a few weeks longer. posi-
bly, less than a month, for furloughs to
privates are usually for a thirty-day
period.
No advices have been received at
the adjutant, generals office concern
ing the matter, nor has General Scales
received any letters from officers OF
the regiment expressing thir opinion
on the subject, but the orders being
issued from Washington are taken as
an indication that the department Is
saving mileage by having soldiers on
furlough come to Jackson.
