SPREAD OF ANTHRAX
Is NOT ACCIDENTAL

Honolulu. T. H.-The rapid and
mysterious spread of anthrax
throughout the islands of the Hawai-
ian group is causing apprehension. The
conviction is openly expressed in Of
ficial quarters that the disease is be-
ing deliberately spread by persons in
tent upon injuring the United States.
During the past two or three days
reports received from the island Of
Maui by the board of agriculture and
forestry that, anthrax on that island
- spreading with alarming rapidly.
DR.. Victor A. Naargard. territorial
veterinarian, who was sent by the
board to Maui to handle the situation.
reported by wireless that the disease
mad broken out in several widely sep
arated spots and that in his opinion
ttS spread was not accidental.
Vigorous measures are being taken
to prevent the dissemination of the
disease on the island of Hawaii, where
there are great cattle ranches. Thus
Tar 1t has not appeared on that island
or on Molokai.
Anthrax first appeared on the island
of Kauai more than two months ago.
The legislature, which was then in
session, passed an emergency appro-
priation bill to supply funds for coping
with the situation. Although the
deaths from anthrax on that island
have lessened recently, it is still prev
alent.

Governor Manning has issued the
following letter of thanks to the
people of South Carolina fol their
generous response to the call for
funds for the Red Cross:
1t is a physical impossibility to
personally reach the great number
of persons, organizations, churches,
newspapers, and others who unre.
servedly gave of their time, service
and means for this fund for the re-
lief and care of humanity, and | de.
sire to request the press of South
Carolina to publish this card of
thanks to all who have in any way
aided in the great campaign for the
the Red Cross fund.
The response to the call of the
President has been prompt, wide
spread and generous, and this ap'
peal has brought forth evidences Of
true patriotism and sense of duty
and desire in this way to extend
my personal and heartfelt thanks to al
those throughout the State of South
Carolina who have contributed tt
this campaign and have brought
about such a splendid response anc

GEN'L PERSHINC'S
ORDER TO ARMY.
THE GOOD NAME OF THE UNITED
STATES MUST BE UPHELD,
HE DECLARED.

Gen Pershing has issued the fol-
lowing general order to his troops:
For the first time in history an
American army finds itself in Eu-
ropean territory. The good name
of the United States of America and
the maintenance of cordial relations
acquire the perfect department of
leach member of this command.
1t is of the gravest Importance
that the soldiers of the American
army shall at all times treat the
French people, and especially the
women, with the greatest courtesy
and consideration.
The valiant deeds of the French
armies and the allies by which they
together have successfully maintain
ed the common cause for three years,
and the sacrifices of the civil popu-
lation of France in support of their
armies, command our profound re-
spect. This can best be exhibited
on the part of our forces by uni
form courtesy to all the French peo-
pie and by the faithful observance
of their laws and customs.
The intensive cultivation of the
soil in France under conditions caus-
ed by the war makes it necessary
that extreme care be taken to do no
damage to private property. The
entire French manhood capable Of
bearing arms is in the field fighting
the enemy. Honor them as those
of our own country"

SENATEFOR BONE
DRY" PROHIBITION
PROVISION WOULD LIMIT CON.
SUMPTION TO STOCK IN
RETAILERS HANDS.

RETAILERS HANDS.
The Senate went on record Satur-
day in favor of bone dry" national
prohibition during the war, so far
as whiskey and other distilled bev-
erages are concerned.
Liquor legislation was written in.
to the food control bill in one Of
the Senate's bitterest contests, which
would strike at consumption Of dis
titled intoxicants by Communicating
stocks in bond in addition to abso-
lutely prohibiting their manufacture
or importation. The beer and wine
industries would be left undisturbed.
While the final prohibition legisla-
ton will be evolved in conference
between the two houses, it is gener-
ally regarded as probable that the
House will accept the Senate's change
after a fight in behalf of its original
section.
The Senate provision would limit
consumption to stock in retailers
hands or withdrawn before the law
goes into effect. Stocks of distilled
beverages in bond were estimated
Saturday as between 200, ,00Q, 900
and 3OO,OO0,O00 gallons, and the
annual normal consumption at l20.-
900, 900 gallons. To purchase this
enormous quantity Of liquor. or
what is left of it, after Withdrawals
in anticipation Of the legislation. it
is estimated the government would
have to spend from 100000, 900 to
81, 900. 100000. The probable loss
in federal revenue is placed at from
2OO,OOO,OOO to 100000, 900, al
though this as we'll as the cost of
purchase would depend entirely upon
how much liquor was withdrawn tax.
paid before the Communicating.
The Senate's action promises in
definite delay in enacting the war
tax b;ll, further delay on the food
control bill and indefinite postpone
ment of adjournment of Congress.
The revised $1.67O, 100000 war tax
bill was withdrawn Immediately af-
ter the final vote upon the liquor
question to seek new sources OF
revenue in case taxation on distilled
liquors is eliminated.
The Senate's vote to have the
government buy, for industrial pur.
poses and thus withdraw for con-
sumption or revenue purposes. the
great stocks of distilled liquors held
in bond followed rejection of a pro-
posal to deal with beers and wines, q
proposal to authorize the President
to suspend manufacture of the
light" intoxicants being defeated.

commission consolidation bill.
Springfield, Feb. 23.-In the crea-
ton of the department of public
works and buildings, the trainers of
the commission consolidation did at
least one thing upon which everyone
apparently is agreed was a good
move.
This one thing was the abolition
of the Office of state architect. It
was the elimination of this position
that the state charities commission
and the state board of administration
so urgently recommended in their re-
cent joint report.
The ability of the state architects
heretofore employed by the state was
unquestiOned by the many members
of the house and senate opposed to
the retention of this officer. The en-
tire system, it was pointed out, was
wrong and that no one officer could
possibly draw plans and superintend
all Of the state construction work.
Under the consolidation bill, the
supervising architect is in the same
department with the state highway
commission, which maintains a corps
Of efficient engineers who, under the
terms of the bill, can be called upon
by the director of the department to
assist in drawing plans or in the su-
pervisiOn Of any construction work.
The department Of public works
and buildings probably is the most
concrete department Of the nine
created in the bill.
The duties Of the department Of
public works and buildings are:
1. To exercise the rights, powers
and duties vested by law in the state
highway department, the state high
way commission, the chief state
highway engineer, the assistant state
highway engineer and other officers
