Public Health Talks by the
County Health Officer.
The education of the public on
the preventability of many diseases
which have devasted mankind for
centuries. is probably the most inn
portant development in the present
campaign against disease. Such
education is not only indispensable
for the prevention Of disease, but it
is unavoidable. Through the work
of such leaders as Pasteur. Lister
and Koch, as well as through the
labors of multitude of other scien-
tific men. it is known today that
many, If not all. communicable dis
eases are directly due to social con-
ditions beyond the control of any
one class or profession. Prior to
the development of modern bacter-
iology and pathology. disease was
largely an individual matter between
the patient and his physician. The
specific cause of the disease as we'll
as the method of transmission from
one patient to another. was unknown.
There were no means of preventing
these diseases or of recognizing their
presence before an epidemic broke
out. The discoveries of the last 40
years, however, have shown that the
causes of most OF the epidemic dis
eases are not individual but social.
Tuberculosis, which was formerly re-
garded as hereditary (that is, due
to individual factors) is now known
to be largely caused by insanitary
tenements, workshops and factories,
insufficient ventilation and nourish-
ment and other causes largely econ
omical and social. Typhoid fever
is due to a polluted water or milk
supply or to transmission by flies.
People still haye flies in their homes
and buy groceries from a careless
groceryman who has flies in his store
all over the foodstuff. Instead of
boycotting such fellow and trading
with the sanitary man who has a
sanitary store and therefore clean,
safe groceries they wonder why they
have typhoid. They most likely
have not ayailed themselves of the
wonderful protection afforded by
typhoid vaccine. Malaria is carried
by the mosquito, which finds its
breeding place in stagnant pools.
Bubonic plague is carried by the
rat. for whose continued existence
and multiplication in our large cities
and in our water fronts. insanitary
warehouses and poorly constructed
buildings are responsible.
Our awful infant mortality is due
to variety OF causes. most OF which
are social and economic. rather than
individual. As most Of the commu-
nicable and preventable diseases
from which civilized man is suffer
ing. are due to social rather than
individual offenses, the remedy must
be found in the treatment Of the go
cial organism rather than the indi-
vidual. The present movement for

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES ON THE MEUSE AND MOSELLE FRONT, Nov. H. 12:50 p. m. (By the Associated Press).-News that the ar mistice had been signed spread like wildfire along the American front, from the Moselle river to the region of Sedan. Reaching the various head quarters early in the day, the news passed by wire and wireless to divi- sion and regiment and finally from mouth to mouth to the boys in the for ward lines.
 It was among the boys in the fore most lines who had been under shell fire for days. that there was the most genuine rejoicing.
 There had been so many rumors of peace lately that the boys in the front lines were not inclined to believe the report of the signing of the armistice, until their officers informed them that it was a fact. Then there was gen. eral rejoicing.
 On Sunday both sides kept ap an intermittent artillery fire as a reminder to each other that the order to cease hostilities had not been received. With night fall. the duel became weaker each side awaiting the final word as to the set hour for desisting all firing of guns.

TAX BURDENS MAY
 BE L|GHTENED IS
 BELIEF IF LEADERS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Peace to- day threw into conference between congressional leaders and treasury of ficials the question of whether the tax burden planned in the pending revenue bill can be frightened, in view of pro spective reduction of expenditures.
 Senator Simmons, chairman of the senate finance committed; Chairman Kitchin of the house ways and means committee, and Secretary McAdoo dis cussed the problem, but reached no conclusion. MT McAdoo said he would undertake an immediate survey of the governments tentative plans for re- turn of the army from abroad, for cur tailing war orders, and other phases of war-to- peace conversion, and make recommendations within a few days
 Future Needs Uncertain
 The uncertinty of future government financial needs and the urgent need of pushing the revenue legislation to completion at an early date constituted the principal reasons prompting many congressional leaders, both democrats and republicans, today to advocate that the bill be not changed to reduce the revenue to any great extent. Al ready the senate had revised it so that IHe lnEO1uH IS t5IiHldltu at dDQul s6,250, 100000 instead of the eight bill ions provided by the house draft. Treasury officials also pointed out that a large inflow of taxes will reduce the volume of war bonds which must be floated in the spring.
 Demand Expense Pruning
 Demand for immediate steps to cut down expenditures now is coming strongly from both parties in con- gress. Senators Borah and Shoot, re- publicans, in addresses in the senate today urged immediate curtailnent of vast government expenditures, and said Democratic Leader Martin would have difficulty in carrying out his re- gently announced economy programs unless the public is informed on details of all expenditures.
 Senator Martin will find there will be 1000 reasons advanced for main taining and extending bureaus said Senator Borah One thing congress never has been able to do is to abolish an office or department"
 Senator Shoot said the time has come for the senate to point out how the saving can be brought about. He urged immediate curtailment of Wash ington war bureaus. some of which, he says, have as many as 10000 employees

ARMY DRAFT CALLS
 ARE CANCELLED BY
 SECRETARY BAKER ER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1..-Almost the first action of the war department today. after announcement, of the signing of the armistice with Ger many, was the cancellation of allsarmy draft calls under which more than 500.000 men had been ordered to en- train for camps before November 30.
 Urgent telegrams, prepared three days ago at the direction of Provost Marshal General Crowder, were sent to all local draft boards directing that the movement of 250,000 men. under orders to entrain between today and Friday be immediately stopped. The telegrams reached most of the boards in time. but few men are known to have started for camp. Secretary Baker said, however that wherever possible their immediate return to civil life would he arranged.
 "I have suspended further calls un- der the draft and inductions," Mir. Baker said. There will be for the present no additional men brought in under the draft, and to the extent that we can we will turn back those men who have been entrained and have not yet reached training camps
 All Honorabiy Discharged
 The provost marshal generals office had no estimate on the number oii trains before the canceling order was issued. All men assembled for en- training are to be considered as honor ably discharged from the army and paid accordingly. Until further mo- tice, no inductions or calls, except for the navy and marine corps. will be permitted. One call for few thou sands of men for the navy is now in preparation. but volunteers have more than filled the requirements of the navy and marine corps.
 Since August, 1917, when the first calls were issued under the army draft law, 2.7o0,000 men have been inducted into the army. Practically all physi- cally qualified men between the ages of 21 and 31, who were placed in class one. are new in the service. The men who were. to have moved to camp this month were of the new registrants en- rolled September 12.
 Many of the men who were under orders to move this week were orig inally directed to entrain in October but their movement was held up be- cause of the epidemic of influenza iT the army camps last month.

Conditions So Severe They Represent No Mere ''Scraps of Paper'' Their Acceptance Amounts to Abject and Unconditional Surrender.
(By the Associated Press)

(By the Associated Press)
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Signing of the armistice with Germany was proclaimed today by President Wilson, who also announced it's terms at joint session of congress.
 The terms herald the end of the war; because they take from Germany the power to renew it.
 Just before he went to the capitol, the president, in proclamation addressed to his fellow countrymen said
 PRESIDENT ANNOUNCES HISTORIC FACT

 WASHINGTON, Nov 11.-Analysis or the terms imposed upon Germany shows them to be even more drastic than those being enforced against Aus tria, Bulgaria and Turkey.
 From a military standpoint all of these powers have been stripped, even Of the means of defense.
 The object sought-absolute pre- Nention of recurrence of hostilities- IS the same in each case, and. in gen eral, the same character of conces- sions were required though in Ger many's case, there was no necessity 10 provide for future campaigns against a remaining enemy.
 The surrender of 1000 cannon, 1000 alrplanes and other war material in preparation, military men say, means that for years to come the German states will be unable to think in terms of armed force against any of the powers associated against them.
 Naval Power Dismantled
