HEALTH SERVICE
WILL FIGHT FEVER

Secretary McAdoo announces that
the United States Public Health
Service of the treasury department
has practically completed plans for
preventing malaria among soldiers
at camps and environments during
7the coming spring and summer. In
a zone from l to miles wide
around 20 or more camps in the
South every known effective method
of graduating the disease will be
employed under the supervision of
experts. In the camps themselves
the army authorities will control
the disease.
In the past the Public Health Ser
vice has supervised demonstrations
which have proved beyond question
that its methods are effective They
are similar to those which made pos
sible the building of the Panama

LOSES SON IN WAR
SEEKS REVENGE

Luciene Milvoe, the famous
French politician, whose son has
fallen in battle, publishes this thrill
ing malediction against the Germans:
my son, my Henri, my JOY. my
pride, has fallen by German bullets
and shall live in a halo of glory
which this young hero has cast
about my name. BY that spot of
earth where the valiant dead re-
poses | take this oath of death to
the crowned bandits who govern
Germany-aye, and to all Germans.
The blood is already up to their
knees. Soon it will reach their
threats and stifle them We shall
give no truce. Humanity can breathe
again only after their undoing and
when their kingdoms rock beneath
them.
Then, upon the pile of corpses
of millions of victims, we will cast
the base of German carrion for vul- |
lures food. Then mothers shall
again have the right to bring forth |

JUNEAU WORKERS
PLAN UNION FOR
ALASKAN CAMPS
Exclusively Territorial Organization
Is Planned of Founders of
Union.

Plans for an all-Alaskan union
were outlined and temporary officers
chosen at a largely attended meeting
of working men held recently at
Juneau. F. B. Harrison was elected
chairman of the organization and c.
Enge, secretary, to hold office until
permanent organization is per-
fected.
Several speeches were made by
those present, all urging the high
est degree of patriotism on the men
and also urging them to be reason
able and work with capital instead
of against it. Sam Mandle, of An
chorage, was present and outlined
the work followed by the Anchorage
Association, where the men are or
ganized and where they are entirely
independent from any Outside union.
AT Anchorage the association is
composed entirely of the working
men, but we are not Connected with
any Outside federation. We are ut
terly opposed to any l. W. W. propo-
ganda or agitation and none of that
is tolerated. If we have any griev-
ance we appoint committee which
waits on those in charge of the work
and we state our troubles They are
generally adjusted to the satisfac-
ton of all concerned without any
trouble. Since the first strike two
years ago over the wage question,
there has been no labor trouble. or
talk of labor trouble in the An
chorage section" he said in part.
Senator o. P. Hubbard, Senator
Frank Aldrich and Bob Oliver, all
addressed the meeting, as did also
District Attorney J. A Smiser, who
gave it as his unofficial opinion that
the eight-hour law was a valid one.
The committee appointed by the
first mass meeting to present the
case of the workingmen at the eight
hour hearing reported and vote
of thanks was rendered them for
their trouble.

The Manufacturing Mosquito
1t is we'll known that malaria is
carried from person to person only
by a certain variety of mosquito,
known as the Anopheles. Measures
against the disease are therefore
designed either to eradicate this
variety of mosquito or to prevent
persons from injecting them or be-
infected by them. AS other varie-
ties of mosquitoes will incidentally be
eradicated, not only will malaria be
prevented but the mosquito as a
pest will be driven from the vicinity
of the camps.
At each camp where there is dan
ger of malaria an expert, probably
sanitary engineer, will be in charge
of the malaria operations. He will
be supervised by Public Health Ser
vice experts who know malaria pre-
vention to the ground.
