BY one Of those back to the-walf
stands for which they are famous
in this war, the Franco-British
forces have saved the situation in
the Ypres sector from turning into
an immediate big success for the
Germans after the loss by the allied
forces of the dominating peak Of
KENNEL.
Had the enemy been able at once
to develop his success in the Kem-
mel sector as he attempted to do.
the result probably would have been
disastrous to the allied troops in
the Ypres salient. The British, how
ever. held firm against the attacks
which lasted all day yesterday in
the neighborhood Of voormeseele,
two. miles south Of Ypres, and tho
French were equally firm in defend
ing the line in tho sector Of Loore,
west of KENNEL, protected by the
heights Of Mont Rouge and Scherp-
enberg.

Thus the enemy was brought to .
standstill for the time being and
Saturday morning did not bring
with it the resumption Of his infan-
try attacks. He was assumed to
be preparing for a renewal Of the
assault, however, while the Anglo
French forces were establishing
themselves more firmly for tho de-

 by physicians in many distrcts in the United States are for malaria. It is one of the greatest health prob lens now, not only so far as the sol diers are concerned but also because
 of the necessity to produce a maxi. mum of food and other supplies re- lated to the war. The efficiency of the laborer in the South according to public health service officials, has
 been markedly reduced by the di- sease. These experts say that the anti-malaria campaign will reduce malaria generally and stimulate simi-
 lar work by local health authorities.

AN MALARIA
 CAMP PA|GN |S NOW UNDER WAY

WASHINGTON, May '. - The pub lie health service has just begun the most extensive anti-malaria campaign ever undertaken in the United States with view to protection of the health of the soldiers in the Southern cantonments. Congress has authoriz- ed this crusade and provided the funds and it is expected that s4OO,- 900 will have been spent by Uncle Sam in this work by July 1. 1919. This is exclusive of the governments part in the cooperative health work now being carried on in the vicinity of these cantonments by the public health service, the American Red Cross and the local health authori- ties.
 Because malaria is conveyed only by the bite of certain mosquito which flies only short distance from its breeding place, the eradication of 'ii| hOSquiIo VIII De uHueftaKen Tn zones two miles wide around each camp likely to have malaria. Breed i ing and hiding places will be ditched. drained, and cleared, undrainable still water in which the mosquitos breed will be oiled and minnows will be in- stalled to eat the mosquito larvae off the top of the water Even dynamite will be resorted to in this nationwide health campaign, to eliminate dan gerous breeding places and the work supplemented by screening and by use of quinine for preventive and curative purposes.
 Cooperation of the state and local authorities and of the people in eac' place is expected. Posters will be put up in the post offices, railroad sta t1ons and other places in the South. Previous operations of the federal health service against tho mosouitos nave been enthusiastically received by the people in each place affected. because of the results in the reduc- ton Of malaria and eradication of the mosquitos. For years the public health service has studied the most practicable means for preventing ma. laria and demonstrations have been conducted in many places in inc South.
 In the building of the Panama Ca nal one ofathe greatest difficulties en. countered was the presence of swarms of mosquitos, which conveyed yellow fever and malaria to the workmen The engineer largely responsible for the success in the campaign against yellow fever mosquitos in the canal zone will supervise this anti-malaria campaign and associated with him will be an officer of the public health service widely recognized as one of the foremost authorities in the United States on mosquito borne diseases.
