GUARD FLours DISEASE PERIL.
Health Authorities Visited This City Commissioner Says Some Maladies Are to Be Expected.

pr. John T. Black. state commits sioner of health, said Wednesday there was nothing unusual in condi- tions relating to infectious diseases among troops of the state. There had been cases of German measles, humps, scarlet fever. diphtheria, typhoid and spinal meningitis, but the number was not greater than what might be ex- pected among a large number of men living the life of soldiers.
 There has been some difficulty in providing for cases in New London. There is only one hospital in New London for infectious diseases. and 1t is amply able to take care of New London and surrounding towns. but it is not prepared for cases sent to it by the military authorities. Of the 2o new cases sent to the hospital in the month of June, about one-haf were infec- tious.
 The presence of Dr. G. W. Mccoy. the director of the hygienic laboratory at Washington. D. C.. in this state should not be taken as an indication the conditions at New London, or in any other parts of the state. said Dr. Black. Dr. Black and Dr. Mccoy have made a tour of the state to inspect the conditions. They visited Hartford New Haven, Norwich and New Lon don. Next to the situation in New London the two officials gave the con- dition in Bridgeport the most atten- tion. They found conditions in Hart ford very satisfactory and by the iso- lation hospital they found there was ample provision for the taking care of the normal situation. In New Haven, also. the conditions were found to be satisfac ctory.
 It is intended to increase the facih- ties at the disposal of the authorities of the Memorial hospital in New Lon don so to cope with the conditions there Just what form this increase will take has not yet been decided. It it quite possible however that build . ings will be bought and fitted up for the purposes of an isolation hospital. The entire matter is now in the hands of the federal authorities and the state is ready and wiling to cooperate with them in providing means for treating al caSas
