Grangeville has shown a disposition to

Jump to Destroyer s Deck.

The captain of the destroyer, eacI
time it was brushed away from the
side of the Otranto, again would push
near enough for many more men to
jump to the deck of his vessel. He
described as a veritable rain the number
of men landing on the destroyer.
Many Of those who reached the decks
of the vessel suffered broken bones or
otherwise were hurt. Those who missed
the deck of the destroyer went to al
most instant death.
-Four times the battered destroyer
came alongside and each time the pre-
vious scenes were repeated At the end
of the fourth trip she had 80 Ameri-
cans, 236 of the crew, 80 French sailors
and one British officer on board. The
bow was full and, having done all posi-
BILE, she started for port.
The survivors saw the Otranto drift
ing helplessly toward the rocks as they
pulled away toward the Irish coast The

brief message when her wireless was
carried away The little overloaded yes

Walters Rules for Board.

Walters Rules for Board.
''Other municipalities in the stat,
are warned to observe the order, be
cause it will be enforced said Attur
ney General Walters. "The state board
has power to issue such an order under
the statutes, and municipalities cannot
suspend orders made pursuant to
statute"
In support of his view, the attorney
general quoted the following language
from a legal authority:
General provisions for the
preservation of the life and health
of the people of the state are no
more suspended in the territory
comprised within municipality
than are the criminal laws of the
state. 1t would be obviously I'M
wise for state to delegate to any
municipality full and complete
control of matters pertaining to
the public health. The municip-
ality might in the preservation of
sanitary conditions in its own ter
ritory work incalculable mischief
to the health and comfort of peo-
pie living in adjacent territory. To
prevent this being done, it is pri-
marly necessary that there shall
be one central authority clothed
with the power of affording equal
protection to all. "
Fines Up to $500.
Failure to observe an order issued
by the state board of health pursuant
to statute is punishable as a misde
meanor, and persons convicted are sub
jeet to fines of not less than $50 or
more than 5000, or Imprisonment of not
less than 30 or more than 90 days in the
county Jail, or both fine and imprison a
ment. j
"The boards authority" said the 5
attorney general, "to issuse orders to .
prevent disease is set out nsection 1886 Il
of the state statutes" This section is, il
in part as follows: l
Whenever the state board of health .
shall have cause to believe that there il
S any danger of cholera, smallpox or e
other contagious or infectious disease i
invading this state or country, it shall Il
be the duty of said board to take such 8
letion, and adopt and enforce such rules cl
md regulations as may be necessary to a
prevent the introduction of such infec- :,
ious of Contagious disease within the =;

372 American Soldiers Missing

OF the 500 American soldiers on board
the Otranto, 80 were landed. Seven
teen were rescued alive at Islay, leav-
ing 372 unaccounted for.
The Otranto struck the rocks Sun
day night south of Saligo bay, Islay
island, an uninhabited section where
the coast line in many places rises
straight out of the water to the rocky
peaks many feet above.
AS the destroyer neared the side of
the Itranto the men began to jump
from thirty to fifty feet from her decks.
The more experienced sailors of the
crew of the steamer had better sense
than the soldiers, many of whom had
never seen the sea until this trip
AS the destroyer steered toward The
side of the steamer many of the men
leaped too quickly and missed their re-
ckoning and dropped between the boats.
Some of these disappeared in the water,
but others of them were caught and
crushed to death between the boats and
the life boats which had been lowered
to act as buffers The destroyer was
badly battered.

The epidemic of infant paralysis at
Dubuque seems to be increasing ana
the efforts of the health authorities
have not failed to check it's course.
The Dubuque epidemic is plain
warning to other cities to which the
infection may come from Its present
scat. Every epidemic of infantile
paralysis can be traced by the path 1t
followed. IL leaves a we'll defined trail
from some central starting point. The
serious epidemic in Wisconsin, few
wears ago was tracked to carnival at
Eau Claire where one or two cases,
not at that time ared and understood
as now, scattered this terrible and
terrifying disease by trails clearly
traced by Investigators.
An ounce of prevention is worth
pounds of cures. The conditions in
Dubuque are and will continue to he
a constant menace to the children of
cities connected with Dubuque by con-
venience of transportation and the
travel and communication consequent.
Ii is almost impossible TO protect
people against themselves. Rules and
laws and advice fail against needless
ness. But the woman who takes Ter
children into the belt of an epidemic OF
infantile paralysis risks their lives and
health and the lives and health Of
other children in her home community.
There is no doubt that infanti!e
paralysis is violently infectious.
The best place for the children when
infantile PARALYSIS Is epidemic Is at
home. It cuts the danger to the min
imum. The number Of persons who
are infected with, disease in their own
homes is comparatively small as
against those who go abroad to find it
and bring 1t back with them. What an
epidemic OF infantile paralysis means
when il attacks a city may be better
understood by Dnbudues present
epidemic and the history of infantile
paralysis in northern Iowa
There Is no occasion for fright or
panic but for plain common sense
preca ution Don't hunt it, Don't let those
from infected areas peddle il. Where
the possible danger exists watch and
guard the children. II necessary stay
at home with them 1t IS far better TO
be safe than sorry with the sorrow
that infantile paralysis brings when 1t
arrives.

Of the bolsheviki government and
are so insistent in their campaign that
they arouse wonderment as TO the real
motive for such ardor.
There is no government or set OF
m ZEN in Russia that can he recognized
in the usual sense. nor is there any ne
cessity for such acton. The saving of
Russia is a matter that, has gone far
beyond forms and phrases. With the
bolsheviki in control Of Russia and
Germany in control Of the bolsheviki
there is no need for expectation that
Russia will be easily wrested from
German hands. Get Russia must be
saved from German absorption II the
western nations are to remain free.
The Independence Of the United States.
celebrated today, depends upon pre-
venting the assimilation Of Russia by
Germany.
How can Russia be saved? BY an
American army? That would mean
several years preparation, for, a strugA
gle which might have different as
pect by the time the belligerents CRAP
pied in Russia. The war would be won
by Germany before the United States
could make safe the front in France
