SANITATION
AT THE CAMPS
Public Health Service Reports on
Conditions as They Find Them
in All of the Can
tonmentS.

The United States public health
service is at present carrying on an
active campaign along sanitary lines
in the areas adjacent to twenty-eight
military camps and cantonments
throughout the country. Complete
sanitary organizations, composed of
personnel supplied by the public
health service, the American Red
Cross, and state and local health
authorities, are at work in these
areas for the purpose of preventing
the spread of disease from the civil
liam population to military forces. and
to protect the civil populations from
communicable diseases where they
have occurred among troops.
The sanitary organizations include
physicians, sanitary engineers, SAM
tary inspectors, public-health nurses,
attendants, and laborers. Measures
undertaken include medical inspec.
ton of school children, inspection OF
all establishments handling food sup
plies, inspection of barber shops,
publication of unsafe or questionable
water supplies, installation OF SAM
tary methods for the disposal of
waste, and drainage or filling of mos
quito breeding places.
There is engaged in this work a
force of approximately 440 employees
of the public health service, compris-
| ing fifty commissioned officers. fifty
acting assistant surgeons (non-com-
missioned medical officers), sixty-f1ve
scientific and technical assistants.
and 275 other persons, including pub.
| Iic-health nurses, sanitary inspectors,
clerks, stenographers, laborers. etc.
The Red Cross has furnished III
scientific and technical assistants,
nurses, inspectors, etc, and over 200
laborers to assist in the campaign.

Charles Henry Meier in the Wash
ington Post: AT last most of us have
begun to realize what had for many
years been plan to some, that the
German kaiser Is stark, staring mad.
From time to time we have had
hints of this. We have read stories
OF the kaiser's startling pranks, of
his frenzied outbreaks and amazing
follies. But few believed half that
was said and printed. By some the
stories were set down to prejudice.
We had quite forgotten scores OF
unquestioned facts which might and
should have made us guess the truth.
We had forgotten, among other
things, that, in his lusty youth,
Prince Wilhelm (now the kaiser),
with party of choice Prussian
friends, had bounded a poor devil of
a fellow officer to suicide, after bad
gering and humiliating him in one of
the royal Prussian palaces. We had
| forgotten the gross inhumanity with
which, on his accession to the i'm
perial throne, the new kaiser had
! treated his own mother, and the reve-
lations which connected him. at one
moment, though perhaps unjustly,
with the strange doings of those vile
| knights of the round table," the Zu
Eulenbergs and the Won Moltkes.
Nor had we remembered, among
other facts OF interest, that from his
childhood up the kaiser had been
afflicted with malignant ear
trouble; that his father. the high
| minded Friedrich, died victim of
some cancerous disease, complicated
by an even more terrible malady, and
! that his grandfather, old Wilhelm,
! had inherited the same taints from
his proud ancestors.
There has been more than want of
, balance in the actions, words and
| ways of the reigning kaiser, more
! than megalomania and the inflated
lust of powre A man who claimed
his right divine to rule his fellow
man in this twentieth century could
hardly have been sane or really nor
NAL. God and me, the suppressed
| interview with DR.. Hale and that
latest of the imperial proclamations,
| youching for Gods peculiar love and
gracious favor for the German satan
4 lists, would of themselves have more
| than warranted his removal to the
discreet seclusion of a lunatic asylum.

| as mere outbursts of an unbridled
will, if they had not indeed been adj

now, after years of blood and dread,
| that the whole world is slowly be-
! ginning to perceive what those who
| have seen the kaiser at close range
| have always suspected-and indeed
! have known.
/ There is nothing in the least
strained or improbable in the theory
and, might add. the assumption
/ that the most montsrous of all crimes

of an untrammeled criminal mad

BUYING AUTOS
DESPITE WAR
Secretary Of States Office Expects
5000 900 in License
Fees for Cars
in 1918.

The last license number issued by
the automobile department of the
secretary OF states Office is 286,900,
and the sbtal number of registrations
is over 100000 The average license
fee is $685. per car. and it is estimated
that the aggregate amount which will
be received by the state from this
source during the present year will ex.
coed $4,000 900. The war does not
seem to have caused any decrease in
the purchases of automobiles, for new
applications for licenses are constant
ly coming in.
This is the busy season in the auto
mobile department. Renewals of IL
censes begin January /, and all must
be in before April 1 in order to escape
| the penalty provided for failure to re.
new up to that date.
iowa is the fifth state in the Unit
ed States in the number of registra-
tons" said Secretary Allen, "and the
work of the automobile department is
done with smaller number of clerks
than in any other state in proportion
to the number Of licenses issued. In
Ohio the clerks employed by the state
to take care OF the auto business mum
Der over a hundred, and they have only
90 per cent more registrations there
than we do, while in our department
we have regularly only seventeen
clerks. except in the rush season, when
we add about ten more"

A FABLE FROM THE DEEP.

New York Sun: The report at
tributed to the second officer OF the
transport Tuscania, in which the llfe-
boat under command of that gallant
sailor is alleged to have colnded
with a German submarine floating on
the surface of the sea subsequently 10
the torpedoing of the troopshlp, is
incredible.
It's fabulous quality is established
by the facts that the lifeboat was
not sunk and all of it's helpless occu-
pants slaughtered.
No German submarine commander
having the opportunity to destroy a
boat and it's passengers under cir
cumstances such as those described
would neglect to take advantage OIL
it, If in a moment of weakness MS
personal inclination should turn ever
so slightly toward mercy, the know
ledge that an act of common human
ity would bring down on him the
severest punishment of which his
imperial master is capable would
! Immediately correct his detection
from the code of Prussian ruthless
ness.
An infant whose parents had been
victims of man-eating tiger might
survive an accidental contact with
the satiated beast after it had eaten
its fill, but under the standard OF
conduct that has been set up for
the guidance of the U-boat, no de-
fenseless creature happening in its
course would be spared.

RuSsIA,s RAILROADS.

The Russian people, in spite OF the deaden-
ing effect upon commercial enterprise on an
autocracy. have achieved much in the operation

and since his return has rendered service VI
great value to the two countries. Inc nus

LOVE OF CoUNTRY-IN GERMANY.

Will the German working people love the
government that compels them to work at the
point of the bayonet and through pressure OF
hunger when they strike that grievances may
be adjusted? AS it is understood In this coun-
try, these people were not striking for peace
but to secure better conditions And what
does a government amount to when the ruling
principle is not respect and affection but fear9
Iniustices are not to be corrected or done away
with in the manner adopted by the imperial
government. They continue to speak, and as
the years pass their voices become all the more
insistent and clamorous The putting on af
the lid does not prevent the hot Goals from
glowing and the flames are likely at most any
moment to break forth with increased violence.
If government expects its people to do
things for it, then it must do things for them.
