By the decisive vote Of 453 to SIS
the chamber Of Deputies has adopted
4 resolution formally announcing peace
terms on which the French Republic
will insist. The restoration Of Alsace
Lorraine, the liberation Of territory in
vaded by the Germans and Austrians

InfaRtile Paralysis Epidemic is Expected

Columbia, Mo-, June l4.-"The
summer Of 1916 witnessed an out.
break Of inlantiIe paralysis in the
United States which was the most Sc.
we're in history. While New York was
the center, it was quite prevalent in
New Jersey and in even quite distant
cities. A few cases havd been seen
throughout the winter months, and
health officers generally arr fearing and
rather expecting wide spread epidemic
for the summer OF 1917" says Dr..
NJ. P. Ravenel Of the department Of
preventive medicine OF the University
Missouri.
Unfortunately, the germ Of the dis
ease is not known. Its method Of
rlnsmission is not known, and in fight
ing it we are in the dark as TO the
proper Measures to take. What then
cln we do? The first measure should
be to send promptly for a physician 10
any suspected cases, remembering that
the early symptoms Of the disease are
trivial in appearance and not to be dis
,inguished from minor and non danger
Gus ailments. This precaution should
be observed, especially in communi'
ties where one OF more cases have al
ready occurred.
Isolation Of the patient should be in
sisted upon for it least two weeks.
The discharges from the nose, throat
and bowels must be disiniected prompt
y and the nurse or caretaksr should
cleanse the hands with soap and hot
water immediatly after handling such
discharges. The room should be
thoroughly cleaned with soap and
water, summed and aired after the re.
moval OF the patients personal and
bed clothing and everything handled
.ther BY the patient or catetaker.
One Of the most effective agencies

the necessity Of isolation and rest in
bed, and the proper support Tor affect
ed parts, House hold pets should be
excluded from the sick room. The
room should be screened and all in.
sects should be destroyed.
People should preserve their equi-
librium. The disease is not very fatal
but leaves more or less paralysis OF the
various parts Of the body. 1t is new
to us and in many ways Is an unknown
disease, consequently possessing terrorg
Tor the public which better known dis
eases which are more fatal and more
prevalent do not have. The important
point is TO send promptly Tor a physi'
clan and abide By his directions.

The Jamestown Purchase Graft.

The Jamestown Purchase Graft.
Washington, Juns-(Special cores.
pondence) The House has refused to
agree 10 the Senate's proposal to buy
the property oI the jamestown Exposi'
ton lor a naval trsining station. The
property was bought in at q receivers
sale a few years ago for S240, 900. Its
owners Immediately uied to unload it
upon the government, but Congress
has always turned deaf ear to their
plea until now, under pressure from
Secretary Daniels and the plea Of
War necessity, when it is proposed
to pay Sl,400,000 for the property
with soma more land added, and to ex
pend the further sum Of 81, 100000 in
improvements,
The Secretary Of the Navy will fight
the issue 10 the bitter end. His deter
mination has aroused little surprise in
Washington. The jamestown property
is in Virginia aud the heart Of every
member Of the administration beats
warm for the old fig and an appropri'
alton, with some added throos when
ever the appropriation, runs into seven
fguers and is to be expended south Of
Mason and Dixon's line.
The debate in the house disclosed
not only the exhorbitant price which is
put upon the jamestown property ant
the excessive profits which its owners
will realize il the deal goes through,
but it also demonstrated the small
value from a stragetic point oI view.
The exposition grounds are easily acces-
sible from the sea, the coast deiences
Of Chesapeak Bay are VIGOROUSLY weak
and a naval station at jamestown would
be venerably in the extreme. In ad-
dition, the shore front there is OF such
/ nature that it will require a dredging
operation exte ending mere than a quar-
ter Of mile from the land 10 provide
A sufficient depth Of water ior an anchor
age.
The Secretary'S passion Tor James
town is geographically understandable.
Financially and strategically it has
title 10 commend it. The best minds
Of the Navy have long dwelt upon the
,dvisa5llity aud the desirability Of estab
fishing the great naval base Of the At
,anlic seaboard on Nlragtnsett Bay,
where the Naval War College is now
.ocated, where a naval station now ex-
lists, where the depth Of water, the
ease Of defence, the climatic and mari.
time conditions, the easy steaming dis
,ance from great and rich ports, all
combine TO form the IDEAL location for
1 great centralized naval base. It is
probable that land for this purpose can
be obtained near Jamestown, Rhode Is
and, as easily as near jamestown, Vr'
ginia- and the prices can hardly be in
excess oE those which the latter local
ity demands. A Secretary Of the Navy
who halls from Raleigh, North Carolina
however, will probably plead political
and geographic strabismus in defence
Of the choice he has made.

Americas Sons Respond.

Although it will be some time be-
fore complete returns from all the iso.
lated corners Of the country are avail
able, it NAV be safely stated that pract'
ically all male persons between the ages
OF 2l and 81, inclusive, registered
Yesterday OF complied with the regu-
lationS for the i'll or absent. Whether
the total reaches or surpasses 0,000,
900 is immaterial, for that was only an
estimate. The registration was ac
complished without such riotous scenes
as disgraced New York when the civil
war draft was resisted, There have
been professional agi,ators here and
there who have lived up to what might
have been expected from their general
conduct in the past, but as we have
heretofore observed, they were noisier
than they were numerous. No men
OF standing have countenanced their
treasonable efforts and very few indi'
viduals subject TO conscription have
given any heed to them, A suit 10
test the constitutionality Of the act
may be instituted when some unwilling
individual is finally selected for military
service but it will fail as every justice
OF the peace in the county ought to
know. There may be few hysteTcal
people who will enjoy the role Of mart
yr and try to stand out agains; the
fixed purposes Of nation OF 100, ,000,-
people, but they will receive scant
sympathy.
We must win this war, no matter at
what sacrafce, for no Sacrafce would
be so costly as failure, We cannot
win it without an army and we have
chosen the best and the most demo
cratic way to get an army. Few Of
the millions who registered yesterday
are eager 10 fight but they realize the
needs Of the nation and have shown
their willingness TO make the supreme
sacrafce a nation may require Of is
citizens. Soldiers actuated by this
stern sense Of duty, who consider that
patriotic obligation oatweighs home,
peace, ease, comfort, health and even
lie itself will prove invincible. Those
we're solemn, serious men who stood il
line at the registration places Of Ameri'
ca yesterday waiting to report for what
ever duty the country may require.
II all OF the rest Of us, not eligible for
military service, will but emulate their
grim determination in performing the
services we can render, it will hasten
peace. Globe Democrat.
