ARGENTINA's EYES OPEN.
Mobilization of the Navy 0rdered-Un
usual Military Activity.

Buenos Aires, Sept. Rehabilitation
OF the Argentina navy has been ordered
at a rendezvous 81 kilometres from
Buenos Aries. There is also unusual
military activity in the republic. Al.
though it is ostensibly due to the general
strike, high official said yesterday that
the general staff has its eyes open to
"other necessities"
The question Of rupture with Ger
many is still being widely discussed by
members Of the Argentine Congress and
the public in general, despite Germany's
recent notes. Many of the deputies say
that they no longer have confidence in
Berlin because If the government disap-
proved of Won Luxburg's dispatches it
should have taken action against the
minister and not waited until after
Secretary Lansing's revelations to ex-
press its disapproval.
The cabinet and deputies do not yet
consider the question closed, and there
is widespread disapproval by the news
papers and deputies af the personal
guarantee sent by DR.. Luis B. Molina,
the Argentine minister at Berlin, that
Germany would keep its promises.
1t is learned that the general staff,
since the beginning of the Toro cabi-
net has had the matter of mobilization
under consideration and that war plans
have been completed and campaign com
manders appointed. II there is declara
tion of war, it is declared, Argentina
will send two divisions to Europe and
will not be content with a passive atti-
tude The men and equipment are ready
for almost immediate embarkation, IL
the necessity arises, and the allies in
that event would be asked to furnish
artillery.

to Have Slashed Throat.

Burlington, Sept. 25.--A report has
been received here to the effect that
Merton Shaw, member of Co. G Of
what was formerly the Vermont Nation

his throat with razor at the mobili-

employed for several years on a farm
in Colchester When the farm was sold
he enlisted in Co. G, Winooski COM

the cause of his act.

the adversary remained masters of their

"At the same time two secondary at |
tacks were delivered, one north of Bezon-

did not know whether the defendant

shortest trials in Washington county

been agreed upon excepting as to the
construction OF the gate.

LvOFF CHIEFLY BLAMED
For Outbreak of the Korniloff Uprising
in Russia.

Washington, ID. c., Sept. 25.-An off
cisl explanation of the Korniloff revolt
issued here yesterday by the Russian
embassy, tends to confirm accounts pub
Iished in Petrograd, laying blame for tn,
trouble upon Vladimir Lvoff, the dums
member who informed Premier Kerensky
that Korniloir demanded that he be made
dictator.
Since the revolt was put down, accord.
ing to the embassy, thorough reorgani-
zation has become necessary, because the
troops lacked confidence in their com
manders, and changes are being made in
administrative and army positions which
will result in the greatest benefit
The statement issued by the embassy
says:
The plans advocated by General Kor-
nilof were under consideration and most
OF them lad been adopted by the provi-
sioaal government. On the morning of
Sept. three remaining measures were
adopted, but had not been put into oper-
alton. These measures were:
The enforcement of the death penalty
in the rear of the army; the widening of
the territory to be considered as the
theatre of war. so as to enforce military
law: and the enforcement of martial law
in Petrogrsd.
Con the morning of Sept. it was de-
cided by the provisional government to
adopt these measures, but that evening
Vladimir Lvoff came from General kor-
niloff with fat demand that Dictator
ship be vested in him.
a judicial inquiry is under way 10
determine how this demand came to be
brought and TO determine the origin of
the measure.
After the quelling Of the revolt the
government faced a very difficult situs-
tion, caused BY the fact that the troops
had lack OF confidence in their com
msnders and viewed many OF them with
suspicion This led TO many changes in
comman1 and demanded a thorough re-
O'SsniEatioa oi the army.

tary discipline and his men obey or
ders. while the civil health officer
must rely upon cooperation to secure
results.
One OF the things insisted upon at
the conference was that public health
administration in the rural communi-
ties aud smaller towns must be i'm
proved. Under present conditions
the population OF many communities
is too small to support a full-time,
trained healh officer. The practical
suggestion made to meet this situation
was that several communities unite,
TO employ a health officer on a coop
erative basis. This plan has been
followed with success both at Welles
ley. Massachusetts, and at LaSalle. Ill
Another point Of emphasis at the
conference was the Importance Of
public health education. Not only IS
such education necessary with refer
ence 70 the communicable diseases and
the prevention OF sickness and death
among babies, but health men are ap-
preciating more and more the import
ance of education in personal hygiene
Especially is was emphasized at this
meeting that citizens have a right 70
know what their health departments
are doing, and that IL they really
know of the excellent work being done
there will be no question concerning
the support given to public health
work In short the education OF the
public in matters pertaining to health
and hygiene Is regarded as fundamen-
tai in public health work
II was a great privilege to attend
such a convention, particularly at
this critical time. Every man there
will do better health work next year
as a result OF the inspiration received
at this meeting
