The American tropics are being
brought into Gods country. The
mighty works accomplished for sani-
tation and good health by the United
States in the Canal Zone and at Ha-
vana during the American oecupa-
ton have been duplicated in a vast
fringe of country circhng the Carib-
bean sea
The people of the Caribbean lands
are not only making wide use of au-
tomobiles, street cars, concrete con
struction, city lighting, and public
water supply systems but the prob
lens Of sanitation and hygiene are
occupying their serious attention.
The largest, most thoroughly or
gained and far-reaching work for
public health and sanitation ever IN
dertaken by an American company
in the tropics has been successfully
carried on by the United Fruit Com
pany. 1t is doubtful if any similar
work OF equal magnitude has ever
been successfully attempted by a
private concern. Few governments
have even equalled or approximated
it. We have nothing hike this work
in the Philippines. The company has

In its medical divisions in Panama,

But they soon learn to like them and
the daily bath, too Ninety-five per
cent of the native patients at the
company's hospital in Santa Marta
are found to have hook worms. OF
this ailment they are quickly cured.
The broad and enlightened policy
of this company cannot alone be
measured in dollars and cents. 1t

WOMEN IN near riot
PreCipitate Disturbance in Front
of White House.
Suffrage Pickets Display Offensive
Sign and Nearly Mobbed by
Angry Crowd

Washington, June 21.-A near-riot In
front of the White House was precipi-
tated when the Russian mission entered
the grounds to present its credentials
to President Wilson. A great sign
was held aloft by the suffrage pickets
at the gates. The sign read:
ITO the Russian Mission: President
Wilson and Envoy Root are deceiving
Russia. They say we are democ-
racy. Help us win o world war SO
that democracy may survive
"We, the women of America, tell
you that America Is not a democracy.
Twenty million American women are
denied the right to vote. President
Wilson is the chief opponent Of their
national franchise. Help us make this
nation really free. Tell our govern
ment that 1t must liberate it's people
before it can claim free Russia as an
ally"
The sign was held aloft by Miss
Lucy Burns of New York and Mrs.
Lawrence Lewis of Philadelphia. When
a crowd Of 300 persons that had gath
cred to see the Russian ENJOYS saw
the sign, they rushed the women and
tore it down.
"This Is treason" one woman cried
as she wrested one end of the banner
from Miss Burns.
"We give our sons and then you do
this" another shouted" The women
who held the banner were jostled, but
were not injured.
White House policemen rescued them
from the crowd and took them and
their banner inside the gates Of the
executive mansion.
While the riotous scene was being
enacted at one entrance, the Russian
mission passed into the White House
grounds through another gate. The
members Of the mission did not see the
sign that caused the outbreak, nor
even notice the disorder.

FAIR PROFIT TO PRODUCERS
Secretary of War Daniels ThroWs
Down Gage of Battle to
Manufacturers.

I Washington, June 21.-Secretary of
the Navy Daniels threw down the
gage Of battle to the producers of
commodities needed by the navy In
the prosecution Of the war. In con-
ference with the federal trade COM
mission he asked that body to deter
mine the cost of production of coal,
copper cement, iron ore and oil. He
then declared:
II am going to know what these
things cost and give the producers lib
eral profit, but beyond that I am not
going to pay"
He said that 1t was true that the
navy has bought copper at II cents
a pound when the market price was
20 cents, but the market supply is now
exhausted and more must be obtained
at reasonable price.
