WAR COUNCIL OF
THE RED CROSS
Gives $4,000 To Free Columbia, S C..
Cantonment From
Malaria.

The War Council of the American
Red Cross has appropriated $4,000 to
free the Columbia, S. c., cantonment
and its immediate vicinity from
malaria.
This sanitary undertaking for the
benefit of men of the new army who
are ordered to Columbia for their
training, illustrates what the Red
Cross is arranging to do at other can
tonments the country over-even in
the vicinity of camps where malaria
is not prevalent. AT Columbia, the
Red Cross representatives are Work
ing in close cooperation with the
South Carolina Board of Health and
with the Public Health Service. DR..
French Simpson, the Public Health
Service officer detailed to supervise
sanitation in that district, has been
appointed director of the Red Cross
Sanitary Unit Other sanitary units
are already organized or in process
OF organization for work at other
points
Round the Columbia cantonment
will be created a one-mile zone free
from the only species of mosquito
guilty as a carrier of malaria-the
anopheles, field" mosquito, which
breeds in marshes, pools and slow
flowing streams. When French en-
gineers had to give up the digging of
the Panama Canal, it was the deadly
mosquito that had conquered them
the Isthmus mosquitoes being car
riers of both malignant malaria and
yellow fever The Panama expert
ence of American medical officers is
the basis of the present war against
the Misunderstanding mosquito wher-
ever army training camps are being
established.

N'ADOO REQUIRES
8 BILLIONS MORE
Treasury Head Asks Congress To
Vote New War Credits
NEW LOANS TO THE ALLIES
Bond Issue Of 3 or 4 Billions and $500.
100000 More Taxes At
This Session.

Congressional leaders were inform
ed by Secretary McAdoo that it would
be necessary for them to authorize at
this and the winter session of Con-
gress an additional $4,000. 100000 for
war expenditures, including further
loans to the Allies. to June 30, 1918.
Five billions in bonds already have
been authorized, and a s2,000,000,0 1000
war tax bill is pending in the Senate
Within an hour after the Secretary
had conferred with Representative
Kitchin. Chairman of the House Ways
and Means Committee, plans were un-
der way for raising the money. A
meeting of the Ways and Means Com
mittee was called for August %, and
arrangements made for the House,
now taking three-day recesses, to re-
sumo its regular meetings on August
81 and expedite financial legislation
Issuance of between 100000, 900 and
$4,000, 100000 in bonds to meet new
allied loans and authorization of an
additional $500 100000 in taxes. to be
added TO the bill before the Senate,
probably will be proposed by the
Committee and agreed to by the
House. No delay in either authorize
ton is anticipated. The bond issue
will be agreed to within day, Mr..
Kitchin predicted, and the $780, OO,-
600 probably will be added to the
Revenue bill in conference. with the
approval of the House.
The plan is to have the remainder
of the $4,000, 100000 authorized at the
next session of Congress, beginning in
December Whether it will be raised
by bonds or additional taxation, or in
what proportion of both, is un-
decided
Announcement that authorization of
loan was desired came as a surprise
to most of the Congressional leaders.
They thought the conference the
Secretary sought with Mr.. Kitchin
was for the purpose of discussing
raising possibly an additional $1,000
100000 or $2,0O0,000,0O0 for emer-
gency domestic needs. They planned
to authorize it, go home, and raise
at the next session the remaining
$4,000, 100000 or 5,OOO,OOO,OOO it was
estimated the war would cost this
fiscal year
The needs of the Allies have been
much heavier than was expected, and
the $4,000, 100000 already authorized.
it is estimated, will hardly carry them
farther than October.

Meade's water supply is unwise, par
ticularly as it could so easily have
been avoided. While it will be pos
sible. as / have stated from time to
time. to make water from this point
safe for drinking, by filtration and
disinfection with comparatively large
amounts of chlorine, the situation is
not only undesirable from an estetic
standpoint, but during temporary

FORMER SCHOOL CADETS
ARE URGED TO ENROLL
Board of Education Official Plans
Census of Those Who Have
Had Military Training.

Efforts are being made to enroll every
former high school cadet in the District
Of Columbia who is not already con-
nected with some military organiza-
ton. 1t is planned to find how many
former cadets now living here are
available for military service and to
give them such training as may be
furnished at this time. It Is pointed
out that with the rudimentary knowl-
edge Of close order drill and tactics
which they already possess through
the training they received while at
school. they should easily be developed
into efficient soldiers.
Ernest H. Daniel, vice president OF
the board of education and chairman
of the committee on military AFFAIRS
who himself was a high school cadet
has issued the call for all former cadets
to enroll Information covering the
following points should be sent to MT
Daniel. care of the Franklin school
18th and X streets northwest:
Name. address, age; whether married
or single: amount of military or tech
nical training received since leaving
high school. and highest rank attained
while serving in the cadets.
Plans are now being perfected for
instruction in military science for ex-
cadets should a sufficient number re-
spond to the call. No obligation for
enlistment is entailed in giving the in
formation requested above.
