U. S. TO FIGHT TYPHOID.
Public Health Service to Furnish Vac
 cine Without Charge.

Washington, May 30.-Free anti typhoid inoculation is to be given by the government to protect the health of the Nation at this time when the labor of every man possible is needed in winning the war.
 Secretary McAdoo announced to- night he had directed the public health service to give the inoculatioi. without charge to all who apply at any of it's hospitals or field offices. Many of these offices are located in zones surrounding military canton ments and prevention of typhoid fever in these zones is a step toward re- ducing the risk of interchange of dis eases between the military and civil populations.
 "The season of typhoid fever is now at hand" said the Treasury Depart ment announcement, "and this fact makes inoculation at this time of great importance. The effectiveness of this measure is recognized by the army and navy authorities and all soldiers and sailors of the United States are inoculated when they enter the service"

! AIR vULTURES STRIKE AGAIN.
British Red Cross Hospitals Bombed
 Casualty List Heavy.

With the British Army in France, June 3.-British Red Cross hospitals htave again come under the German bombing scourge. This latest attack began at 10:30 o'clock Friday night and the hostile airmen raided the same group of hospitals which sui fered May 19.. Several hospitals were nit and the casualty list among pa- tients and workers is considerable.
 One hospital was almost demolished when an enemy aviator dropped an ex- plosive on it after getting his bear ings by letting fall brilliant flare which lighted up the whole district. One sister was killed at this place and several others wounded, one of the latter probably fatally.
 The raid lasted two hours, but thanks to the fact that most of the hospitals were not crowded, the casu- alties were much lighter than in the previous bombardment. One hospital, which had large number of wounded men in was bombed, but the precau- tions taken saved heavy loss of life
 In one hospital a ward was de- stroyed and two other wards damaged. Several attendants were killed in this place and there were other casualties.
 The operating theater of still an- other hospital was wrecked.

 Ann Arbor, Mich, June 2,-Whx the Philippines are loyal to America was told recently at the University of Michigan by Prof. F. de la Canters of the University of the Philippines Illustrating the cause of this loyalty he said: s Ss
 "The conquerors marched triumph. antly thru the streets, while the van ouished garrison stood at salute was only ten years old then, standinp with my mother and sister in. the crowd of spectators that lined the streets, and, fearing he had been made captive, and was in danger from the strange soldiers, she gresped mv sister and me by the hands and hur- ried across the street, directly in the path of the soldiers. She almost ran into the captain of one company Young as I was I realized that to in terfere with the military, especially victorious military, in such manner meant that wrath would descend upon us. 1l
 'The captain shouted an order I did not understand. thought he meant to shoot us; at least throw us into prison. But the column halted All along the line orders were given to each company to halt. Not a man moved until my mother, my sister and myself had passed in safety across the street. Not civilian was harmed and no property was mofested: This then, is not an account of the occupa- ton of Belgian city by the Germans, as you will have no trouble in seeing. It is the occupation of Manila by the soldiers of the United States.
 "The Philippines want indepen- dence, but we are willing to wait until the United States is willing to give t to us. This the United States has promised to do and we trust the promises of the United States be- cause they have always been kept. Every student in our university is taking military training to help the United States. We are training off, cers and have S0,0O0 men under arms now, training for duty in France.
