told of the extensive study which he ana
others had made with the purpose Of dc
vising an ideal program for the State

A group of prominent medical men Of the
state and the Christian Scientists were
the only opponents of the bill submitted
to the legislature. he said, and the Chris.
tan Scientists withdrew their opposition
when they learned that their lawful right
were not to suffer. Dr. Beach said that
as the old department had an eXceedingI-
active and faithful executive it vas mgr
difficult than otherwise it would hayt
been to show the faults of the then ~

The first annual conference Of Maine
local boards of health with the State
health department opened Wednesday
afternoon at the State House with
Hon. Hiram Kicker of South Portland,
a member of the Public Health Coun-
Gil, presiding.
The Governors Welcome
Gov. Milliken welcomed the health
officers with a brief address in which
he urged that war conditions make the
protection Of public health even more
imperative than in times of peace. He
spoke as follows:
War is no longer made by armies
alone Under conditions of modern
warfare. the whole nation goes 10 war
and that nation wins in the long run
which keeps its whole personnel both
in the field and at home at the highest
pitch of efficiency.
For many years it as been regarded
as one Of the proper functions of the
State to exercise supervision and con-
troll over the conditions affecting the
health of the people.
An the reasons which have made
this a proper activity in time Of peace
are now re-enforced by war emer-
gency conditions. Whatever threatens
the health of the people lessons effec
tive support of the fighting armies and
thus becomes an aid and comfort to
the enemy.
More than ever, then, in time Of
war we must see to it that people are
instructed in the rules of health. that
children are properly protected from
the Indifference of greed of those who
would exploit them in industry before
they have reached proper age. and
that industry itself is conducted with
proper regard for the health of the
toilers.
I'VE must also train ourselves and
educate public opinion to be prepared
to deal with the problem of the care OF
those who will be returned TO US
wounded and wasted by disease from
overseas
so l am especially glad to have the
privilege of welcoming YOU here to a
discussion of health problems from the
Joint standpoint of the municipality
and the State. Under the direction of
pr. Bristol. the activities of the State
department have been broadcncd and
extended. He desires the cooperation
of every city and town board of health
in the development of a strong CON
Structive program and has wisely re-
earded this conference as the logical
first step to that end. We want YOU to
feel that the State department exists
for the purpose of helping YOU solve
your health problems and we shall be
happy if this conference opens the way
to much closer cooperation"

ANTICS FOR PRESIDENT
 WILSON COSTLY

For one ''zoom" two tailspins, divers volplanes and other antics in the air above President Wilsonn's head as he stood on the George Washing ton yesterday, Lieut.. Fred Kelly, the crack hurdler from the Pacific coast, has been ordered to remain two weeks on post at the Hazelhurst camp.
 Lieut.. F. L. Pritchaid, Kelly s chum reported this last night at the dinner of the sgd Aerial Squadron in Healey's. Lieut. Pritchard, who was in the airopIane as observer, said he had been ordered to report to his comm anding officer in two weeks. Lieut. Kelly piloted the machine and med" up from Mitchell Field 250 feet or so. Booming" he explained means to strain the plane beyond it's tested l endurance and get away with it. Lieut.. Pritchard would not say wheth- CT or not they had permission to take out the airplane. but did not concea' that they had no orders for what fol | lowed
 When 1900 feet above the ship, It Kelly according his friend, did { tailspin. Then he came down So close to the ship that President Wilson could return Lieut.. Pritchard's salute
 Lieut.. Pritchard said Mrs. WilsoT became so nervous at the antics the plane cut that she went below. Tht machine circled about the ship anC cavoted in the air, greatly to tn amusement of every one, especially o the two fllers.
 The disillusionment came wheT they returned to Mitchell Field.

JUCO-SLAVS IN
 SOUTH AMERICA
 START BOYCOTT

Dispatches from the Jugoslav colonists in South America contain the information that their organiza- ton. the Jugoslav National Defense, will continue it's vigorous work throughout the duration of the Paris Conference and until peace is signed. These people, about SO,O0O in num- Der, dwell chiefly in Chile, their larg- est settlements being in Antofagasta and Punta Arenas. Among them are some of the richest men in South America.
 Even before the war, the Jugoslavs of Chile felt keenly the German men ace in South America. It was well known that the German spy system penetrated every country on the con- tinent. Because they had seen some thing of German operations at home in Europe, the Jugoslavs were more | awake to the danger than many of 1 the native South Americans. Then | came the outbreak of hostilities and | the embroiling of all Europe in war l Early in 1915, Dr. Ljubo Leontic was | summoned to Chile to organize the l Jugoslavs so that they might work | together as a unit. The so-called Jugoslav National Defense, to whicf nearly every Jugoslav in South Amer ica belongs, was the worthy resul of his labors.
 Financed Work of Jugoslav Com
 mittee.
 From the start, the Jugoslav Ma tional Defense has been abundant, able to help finance Jugoslav work both in Europe and America. It ha met all the expenses of the Jugosla7 | Committee of London. Among thu members are 50 millionaires, wh have each contributed about 5,00 pesos every month for propaganda purposes alone. Pasko Baburizza the president, is one of the leadin business men of Chile. He is en gagged in saltpetre mining and has re gently been interested in a project t build a great harbor at Antofagasta for the export of Bolivian saltpetrt When this is finished, saltpetre ship will be able to come into port an take their cargo from the Wharve instead of anchoring some distanc out from the shore. Nicolas Mihan ovic, an Argentine business mal owns 327 merchant steamships an vessels, most of which ply betwee Montevideo and Buenos Aires an down the coast of Argentina. Vjekc
 slav Mitrovic is another Chilean wi , has become wealthy in the saltpet1 l trade.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-12-06

The most important single under taking in South America, started by the Jugeslav National Defense was a ! general boycott of German firms and | German goods. Knowing well the : weak spots in the fabric of German industry in South America, the Jugo- slav business men attacked these. Their efforts were helped by English, French and American immigrants and. before long the boycott was sys tematic and general. Before the end of a year and a half German enter prise in the South American republics was paralyzed.
 Spy System Brought to Light.
 The bringing to light of the German spy system was a still greater service. So insidious was German espionage in the South American states that it had poisoned many political parties, and, in some cases, important govern ment officials. Without the ceaseless aid of the Jugoslav National Defense,
 many of the German spies would have quietly continued their work. One factor that enabled the Germans to operate more freely was the unsettled political status in number of the South American countries. Wherever | they saw their opportunity, the Ger mans played their favorite game of
 setting faction against faction and
 stirring up discontent and strife. In
 surprisingly large number of instances 1 the German agents found their
 schemes blocked by the JugoslaVs. l Jugoslav immigration to South l America began in 1860. The political
 revolutions in Austria sent large num-
 bers into exile in that year and again
 in 1878. Most of those who went to
 South America were from the coast and islands of Dalmatia. Of the S0,- 900 southern Slavs in South America, l 75,O00 are Dalmatians. So many of them left their native villages that
 more than one village was half depop-
 ulated. For example, in Punte
 Arenas there are 2,OO0 immigrants
 from the Dalmatian village of Supe- , tar, with scarcely more than that
 number left in Supetar today.
 Besides the political reason, there
 was also the economic reason whicl banished many Dalmatians to 1nt homes in the new world. Those wh' went to Latin America have done con , siderably better, on the whole, thai the 100, 900 Jugoslavs from Dalmatit who went to North America. The, , arrived at a critical time in the devel ) opment of the saltpetre business an took advantage of their chances. Tn assistance they have given to the Al 7 lied cause throughout the course 0 the war has been very great.

IN THE SPORT WORLD

When Marcel Dupuy came on the track at 4:40 o'clock yesterday morn ing the 'owls' gave him the greatest reception ever accorded 9 six-day rider. They all like the game Frenchman. He seemed to feel that he was doomed to lose Kramer, for once he remarked in his bunk: Whats ze use ride two. tree days and out he go."
 Dupuy is now teamed with another favorite. Bello has taken the place of the immortal "Brocco'' in the A7arts of the fans. He isn't the spectacular sprinter that the other Italian was, but he is steady rider and capable of great bursts of speed when the occasion demands The real jam" of the race was looked | for the moment that he and Dupuy set out to regain their two lost laps. A crowd of wounded but happy sol diers from Debarkation Hospital No.
 S. Sixth avenue and 18th street, will see the race tomorrow afternoon as the guests of Jimmy Johnston. John ston asks that automobile owners
 who wish to convey the men to the Garden call at the hospital at 1 1 o'clock.
 The early morning hours are made
 worth while to the riders when the
 best known of the cabaret singers
 and dancers drop in to get peek at the race They go through all their high priced stunts for the edification !. of the pedallers, and it is then that the racers slow down until they al most fall off their wheels. Especial ly is Freddie Hill fond of the sing
 ing. Long years of service as a
 rider have made him acquainted
 with the wallolers, and he'H ride up to the edge of the track and ask for
 his favorite ditty and get it. Ever Frisco" the jazz dancer, gives then , a laugh by smoking a seegah in his , inimitable way.
