AMERICAN MARINE TO BE rst
MANNED BY AMERICANS,

WASHINGTON, AUG. Manning
OF the American merchant marine
with 100 per cent American crews ts
to be included in the program of,ae-
tivitfes of the shipping board, Chair
man Hurley announced a few days
ago, adding that the success of the
huge ship-buf1ding program was as
sured. New training ships are to be
placed at New Orleans and Cleveland,
he said, and $4,000 men are expected
to be trained in the next year. -re
War needs are to be the sole con-
s1deratfon, it was said, and a founda-
ton is to be laid for maintaining the
crews for the great
peace fleet with which this ountvy is
to take a commanding place in world
trade after the war. &8
In beginning the educational cam
paign the shipping board made it plain
that the manning program is based
on present and potential needs of
merchant service in coastwise and
overseas traffic, for both existing and
new tonnage.

MONEY INSTEAD OF SUPPLIES
SHOULD BE SENT SOLDIERS

The original order that the approval
of regimental or higher commander
was necessary before packages
might be sent to members OF the ex-
peditionary forces has been modified
so officers with the rank of major and
higher may approve shipments. The
approval of a company commander is
not sufficient =
The question of the shipment of par
cells to France first came to the atten-
ton OF the War Department when the
commanding general of the .expedi-
.tionary forces cab1ed that congestion
of, such articles had reached such a
point that French railroads we've un-
able to handle the load A board
nted bytthesSe Secretary of War and
the Postmaster General examined
5000 sacks of parcel-post mail, and
found that the articles being sent not
only in the main, were abso-
lutely unnecessary but undesirable.
The investigation showed that the
amount Oh SUCH HAL uc1u ACoSAON -
total of 100000 pounds week, and
was steadily increasing. +
Relatives and friends, according to
a recent statement by the War De-
partment, will find they often can DO
d greater service to soldiers by send
ing them money for the purchase OF
articles in France than by forwarding
the articles. Tobacco is now being
supplied as part Of the Army ratiOns,
and merchandise of nearly all kinds
may now be purchased in France
through the huge general store es-
tablished by the Quartermaster
Corps at, lower prices than charged by
retailers here.

TO FIGHT TYPHOID.

Ra1eigha I'm ad ditfon to the routine
work the county healtA departments
operating with the state board of
health during the week ending July
27 accomplished especially notable
work in the campaign against typhoid
te4er.
The fight against this disease nat
urally falls under two heads, the sani-
tatfon of homes and the immuniza-
ton of individuals In these counties
during the week there Tere S24 sani-
tary privies installed, which means
that many homes that are no longer
constant menace to their occupants
and neIehbors, and $50 people were
given the anti-typhoid treatment.
In RobeeOn, Nash, Lenoir, North
hampton and Davidson counties dem
tai clinics for the school children were
being held during the same week, and
592 children were treated.
The typhoid vaccine gives immun=
itv from the fever for three years, bur
the sanitation of home gives permG-
nent immunity to both its occupants
and to the neighbors. Typhoid fever
being passed from the body Of one
who has had the disease and then
conveyed to another The control OF
the disease becomes, therefore, a
question of properly dispoSing of sew
age. and that is why so much stress
is laid upon proper home sanitation.
