City Health Superintendent and Council
10 Unite in General clean Up Crusade;
Attack Open Toilets
SEWER CONNECTIONS
CHIEF REQUIREMENTS
Also Alleys and Garbage TO Receive At
lenI on; Warning to Comply With
Law Will Be Given

AS first warning that correction
campaign to remedy any possible
sanitary conditions in Chickasha is
about to be started, e. L. Dawson,
city superintendent or health, began
today a systematic attack against the
open toilet menace which campaign is
intended to cover the whole city be-
fore the finish. Active steps in the
movement follow investigations of
conditions existing here, and which
were made at a meeting of the city
council Thursday night.
DR.. Dawson stated yesterday that
he expected a general warning to be
issued to violators Of the open toilet
laws and that later a clean up cru
sade would be launched. Leniency
will be allowed wherever the case is
deserving but the drive for public
benefit will be a strict and important
one, the health superintendent states.
Sanitation laws require connection
with sewer mains wherever possible
and the maintenance Of fly proof tot
lets beyond the range of city sewer
lines,
Il "i have been~ working on the PROF.
ldsp for a long time and things are
just now getting in shape Where we
can get results said Dr.. Dawson
yesterday afternoon. q am confident
that only a reminder will be suffici-
ent for most cases and property
owners will be given a chance to
make the improvements of their own
accord. The city will then attend to
the negligent cases."
AS a form of general notice DR..
Dawson issued the following state
ment today: "All property owners
on sanitary sewers will be required
to connect with the sewer. Those out
OF sewer districts will be required to
make their toilets fly proof. Plans
and specifications for fly proof toilet
can be seen in the office of the city
clerk. This is the law from the state
health department and failure to COM
ply is punishable , by a fine of not
more than $25 until the nuisance is
abated.'
City officers stand ready to assist
in the prosecution Of the law, Mayor
Coffman said yesterday.
Health conditions in the county are
unusually good for this time of year,
reports from the office of S. O..
Marrs, county physician, show. The
county is practically free from all
epidemic, only one case of contagious
disease being shown to health Off
GERS at the present time. The small
pox spread reported at Bailey few
weeks ago has been entirely checked
4 and there is now no case under quar-
Iantine there, according to Dr. Marrs.

GERMAN RULER FOR RUSSIA

James Kelley. former owner of the
Chicago Herald, returning recently
from Europe, where he has been in
vestigating conditions under the
auspices of the Committee on Public
Information, declared that the starva-
tion, misery and disorganization in
Russia would lead Germany soon to
attempt the installation of German
picked monarch in that country.
He had been informed that the
Kaiser had already selected his candi-
date, and, with the aid of the Russian
church parties, which have been COM
pletely antagonized by the Bolshe-
Wiki, would find no difficulty in put
ting the plan into execution.

ARMY CAMP NEWSPAPERS.

Work.

Copyright, 1918, by General Wei
fare League.)
In connection with the numerous
army training camps throughout this
cauntry, and in France. quite num-
Der of newspapers have recently been
established, which are proving to be
very important factor in building
up our great army. The best known
of these newspapers is perhaps the
Stars and Stripes, which is published
in France-the Camp DOdger, OF
Camp Dodge. Iowa, being close sec
ond for popularity and influence.
When the idea of establishing
camp newspapers was first suggested,
it is said that some of the higher Off
GERS of the army pooh-pooed the idea.
stating that the army had always got
ten along well enough without any
such newspapers and that there was
no more need for them in the present
army than in the old one. Since that
time, however, more than fifty camp
newspapers have come into existence.
In a few camps there are two COM
peting publications and there are
only two big army camps in the
country where there is not at least
one such journal. These new publica-
tions are almost all weeklies and
range in size from eight to sixteen
pages. They are not mere fads gotten
out for the amusement of the soldiers
but, in most cases, are well conducted
organs and have already accomplish
ed a great deal for the benefit of the
soldiers. Since many of these papers
are subscribed for by the soldiers
relatives at home. they also serve the
purpose of keeping the home folks
in close range with the everyday life
of their soldier boys.
/ These camp newspapers played a
very important part in boosting the
sale of liberty bonds into many mil
lions. They also aided greatly in con-
nection with the military insurance
campaign, the effectiveness of such
work being indicated by the fact, as
reported by the war department, that
nearly every soldier in the service is
insured for from five to ten thousand
dollars. This military press is also
important in connection with the wei
fare work of the cantonments and has
been very useful in providing means
for the adjustment of certain unfortu
nate conditions such as the practice
formerly followed by merchants in
the vicinity of camps, of systematical
ly oyercharging soldiers for goods
purchased by them,

Declaring that camouflaging is an
art and that the British Tommy will
never shine at it, a writer in a recent
issue of one of the London weeklies
attributes this shortening to the
temperament of the English soldiers.

HAND IN STRIKE
President Starts Federal
Machinery To Compel
Men To Work.

Washington. Sept. 13.-Presi-
dent Wilson took the war labor stu
alton in hand personally today and
applied to "lawless and faithless en-
ployes" force in keeping with drastic
measures which he disclosed had been
adopted with his approval in dealing
with recalcitrant employers.
Striking machinists and other war
plant workmen at Bridgeport, Conn,
were informed in a letter addressed
directly to them by the President that
they must return to their work and
abide by the decision of the War La
Dor Board, or be barred for year
from all employment over which the
government exercises control, and
lose all claims for draft exemption
on occupational grounds.
At the same time the President an
nounced that the plant and business
of the Smith Il Wesson Company,
of Springfield. Mass. the first EN-
ployer to "flaunt" the rules of the
war labor board. approved by Presi-
dental proclamation. had been COM
manded by the War Department to be
operated for the period of war.
In effect, the President gave notice
to both employees and employers that
no labor controversies will be per
mitted TO stand i'm the way of the
production of materials needed for
winning the war. The great majority
of both employers and workmen are
cooperating heartily with the gov
eminent. With the board comman-
deering powers granted by Congress,
the large measure of control eXercis-
ed over all plants doing war work, the
operations of the federal employment
service and the far reaching work or
fight order of the provost marshal
general, the President is prepared to
see that the few inclined to stand
aloof do not interfere with the output
of the Industrial army.
