 Passports have been h nded to Count von Bernstorff, and Ambassador Ger ard with ali his staffs and all Ameri- can consuls have been ordered out of Germany All Germ cc,nsuls in the United States are eXpec c.ed to with draw, that the severance of relations may be complete. American diplo- matic interests in Berlin have been turned over to Spain; German Giplo ny tic in terests in the United States have been taken over by Switzerland. Foreign diplomatic interests which the United States had in charge in Ger many have been turned over to var icjuS neutrals.
 Two years of diplomatic nego, ,i@tion, marked with frequent crises and at tended with the loss of more than 200 American lives on the high seas have eliminated with an acs which in all the history of the world has always led to war. Every agency ot the Am erican government has been set in mo- tion to protect the country against ac.s of Garman sympathizers. These ,ctions are of necessity being kept secret.
 Dem2Aas Prisoners Release.
 With the severance Of the diplomatic relations the United States sent to Berlin a demand for the release of the e4 Americans taken from ships cap ,ured by German raiders in the south Atlantic.
 At the request of the president, Con- gross, immediately after hearing his address, began work on new laws framed by the Department Of Justice to check conspiracies and plots against he United States which cannot new te reached under existing statutes.

US. NAVY OFFERS
BEST OPPORTUNITIES

aminations for entrance to the Naval
Academy are conducted on board all
ships and stations wherever there are
applicants. In order to give young
men a chance to prepare for this ex-
animation, classes are formed at all
the training stations land on board
ships) with special instructions, and
the free use of the necessary text
books. The candidates who have the
highest standing on the examination
and have successfully passed the phys
lean examination, enter the Naval
Academy on August 18th, and are ad-
mitted on exactly the same terms as
midshipmen who are nominated by
members of Congress, and upon grad
uation, receive commissions in the
Navy.
Retiring from the service as chief
petty officers of any class may enter
the reserve force where he receives an
annual retainer. Should he be called
into active service he is then paid in

addition to his retainer, the base pay
of the regular Navy for active duty
and if on recruiting duty he will re-
ceive $500 a day or $4,000 a month
for subsistence. The following sched-
ule will show what man will receive
after retirement from the reserves:
After four years Of service he will re-
ceive $62.50 year if he goes into the
reserve force four months after his
discharge. If he waits over that time
his retainer will be $4,000.
After eight years service the retain
CIR is $4,000 If after four months of
discharge, and $1,000 after that.
For IL years service 1925 yearly re-
tainer if after four months of dis
charge and 500 after that.
Reaching 16 years of active service,
chief petty officer on going into the
reserve will receive one-third of the
base pay plus all permanent additions,
amounting to $50 to $25, and averag-
ing monthly income Of s46. II he
has served 20 years this amount will
aggregate $50 monthly.
If called back into the regular serv-
ice this man will then receive the reg
ular pay of his class plus his retainer
pay and if on recruiting duty $500 a
day for subsistence.
For instance, a chief petty officer
drawing regular pay of 500 monthly
would receive $45 retainer and $50
subsistence allowance, making a total
of 1902.
If this man had retired after 20
years and was called back he would
draw $65 retainer, sos regular and
$50 subsistence, making total of
1920, which is more than a junior
lieutenant's pay and nearly equal to
that of full lieutenant or a captain

MILK A PERFECT
ECONOMICAL FOOD
But is Easily Contaminated and Often
Becomes Medium for the
Spread of Disease.

Frank w. LeClere, Utah Public
Health Association.)
Milk is one of the cheapest foods.
This is worth considering in this time
of high food prices. Milk is also cas-
ily digested and contains all necessary
food elements. It is therefore, when
pure, a perfect food.
Unfortunately, however, milk easily
becomes unfit for use. milk is re-
sponsible for much sickness and more
deaths than all other food-stuffs put
together" says Rosenau, one Of the
best authorities Milk rapidly alb
serbs odors and havors. 1t decom-
poses quickly. Most disease germs
soon die in water, but if they find
their way into milk they live and null
tiply enormously.
Epidemics are frequently traced to
infected milk. The diseases most
commonly conveyed in this manner
are: typhoid fever, tuberculosis,
diphtheria, scarlet fever, septic sore
throat, and summer complaints of
children. Sometimes infestion is due
to diseased COW, as in bovine tuber-
culosis and ot-and-mouth disease.
But usually infection comes from be-
ing handled by an unhealthy person.
The United States Public Health serv-
ice reports an epidemic of thirty-six
cases of typhoid in one town last
month which was traced to a milk
man, who was typhoid carrier. AL
though he was apparently free from
typhoid, he still carried the typhoid
germs in his system. In 1907, seven
hundred and seventeen cases Of scar
let fever and seventy-two of diphth-
eria in Boston were traced to milk.
Milk is the natural food of the
young. However, it must not be for
gotten that cows milk was intended
by nature for the cows baby, not for
the human baby The natural food
for the human baby is its mothers
milk. If the cows milk must be used
for that purpose it should be modified
under Doctors advice.
Infants and children have less re-
sistance to disease than adults. And
since milk forms so large a part OF
their food, they suffer much more
than adults from spoiled and impure
milk. Thousands of little white cas-.
kets is the hideous price we pay foi
our carelessness in the source and the
handling Of our milk supply.
Pure clean milk is possible with 8
little cost and constant vigilance. The
chief points in the production of clear
milk are thus summarized by Rosen-
au: "Clean and healthy COWS; healthy
mixers; milk pals sterilized by scald-
ing; sterilized cans and bottles; clear
hands" The milk should be cooled
at once and kept cool.
Unless the milk is known to be alb
solutely safe it is best to pasteurize
it, Some authorities advise pasteur-
izing all milk. This is done by heating
it in a closed vessel or bottle to about
1dS degrees for thirty minutes ano
then rapidly cooling it. This kills al
dangerous bacteria.

GUS
Defensive Warfare Fails
Decreased totals of ships sunk do
not mean Improvement necessarily. A
recent low total Of the number of
ships sunk showed an actual increase
in tonnage destroyed above that of
previous weeks
The thing that blocks such a move
chiefly is that the United States neces-
sarily must follow England in the
matter Of naval policy, inasmuch as
an offensive would have to be CO.
operative. The American navy is too
small to do the work alone.
Practically all the younger naval
officers here and many of the older
ones are opposed to merely defensive
work. They say any offensive is a
gamble with good chances for allied
success; that defensive warfare is only
putting off temporarily German con-
troll of the seas
There ought TO be a naval policy
directed toward an offensive plan.
said one authority today. The pres
ent plan of the allies concerning sub
marines is to protect ships against
them after they are out in the At
lantic by covering as large areas as
possible with patrol ships. These
areas are only small percentage of
the Atlantic and will continue so.
Direct Drive at Bases.
An offensive would be any definite
attempt TO keep the submarine from
getting out into the ocean
This would take any one dozen
of different forn-from a direct
drive at Germany's naval bases and
navy manufacturing plants by com
bined naval and aerial attack, down
to and including keeping the subma-
rine in 4 definite sea area by means
of mines, destroyers, nets and bIimps,
or small dirigibles.
Germany will win If she keeps on
at her present rate. If we gamble
on an offensive we may lose ships but
the chances would be in our favor
