SMALLPOX WARNING
Outbreaks In Various Sections of Sir-
Einin Are Reported to State
Board of Health.

The State Board OF Health has re-
ceived information that smallpox has
been discovered at Richlands. in Taze-
we'll County; at Clifton Forge. III the
County of Allegheny: at ManDboro, in
Amelia: that one case has been dag
nosed in the city of Roanoke, and that
the disease has also manifested itself
at Plain View. in King and Queen.
While not alarmed over these re
ports. the state Board OF Health feels
itself impelled TO caution the public
generally with regard to the great I'M
portance and real necessity AT this time
Of neglecting no possible means at its
command OF preventing all species OF
disease. and especially Of guarding
against the spread of any dangerous
contagion. Several hundred physicians
IN Virginia have answered the cali to
the colors and are seeing service in
environments. Others are already on
active duty as army surgeons in
Europe. The result is a decided and
growing dearth OF doctors in Virginia
The rural sections will probably be the
worst sufferers from this condition.
The state Bs.f. OF Health has sent
out warning TO citizens in infected
rural sections and cities. to at once
have themselves vacc!nated, for when
once smallpox has entered the house
hold it's control Is most difficult. The
contagion is carried rapidly from one
section 10 another by persons travelling
on railroads. and i'll these days of
speedy transport the possibilities OF
introducing smallpox from one section
into a community far removed are very
serious. The State Board OF Health is.
therefore. sol;ci;ous that all citizens
protect themselves and their families
by visiting their physicians and having
themselves vaccinated with smallpox
virus. Such recommendation is the
more earnestly made TO those who re-
side in or near a community where the
disease has manifested itself
To be fully protected, every one
should be vaccinated for the first time
when about three months old. II there
is smallpox in the community. n child
should he vaccinated Immediately after
birth. At seven years OF age raccina-
ton should he repeated. and every
seven years thereafter. Seven years is
the usual minimum period Of complete
immunity from q single vaccination.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
PLAN COMES FIRST

Paris Nov. ga league OF ma
tions is likely to figure before the
peace conference at very early
stage OF the proceedings instead OF
being relegated to the close, after
the territorial aspirations OF the var
ious powers are settled.
Two distinct viewpoints have now
developed on this subject. Tho
American view is that the coming
congress will not be like the Vienna
congress, which devoted Itself prln-
cipally TO arranging what each
power should receive as result Of
the Nappleonic upheaval Accord
ing to the American view the present
war was based on certain high ideals
and was not a struggle for territorial
gainA
Therefore. It Is maintained. ideals
should come before territorial aspir-
atlons in the deliberations OF the
congress. and these ideals having
been first defined, should thereafter
be the main guide in national aspiE-
ations.
Lcague OF Nations Accepted.
Ono OF the chief OF these ideals, II
Is pointed out, was to prevent future
warfare, and league OF nations has
been generally and officially ac-
cepted as the most practical organ
ization for accomplishing that Ideal.
II is therefore held that this should
be one OF the first subjects consid-
cred and should set n standard or
ideals for other subjects following.
II can be stated that this Ameri-
can view Of procedure has found
warm supporters in England and
France, though there Is also another
viewpoint which clings to the old
procedure under the Vienna con-
gress, whereby claims for territory
should have first consideration.
Those urging that territorial ques-
tions should come first say that It Ia
highly desirable 70 sign a peace
treaty embodying he essential de-
tails at the earliest possible moment
so as to terminate the official war
period under which troops are held
for the duration OF the war and rail-
roads. telcgraphs and other public
utilities are similarly affected until
peace IL declared. According to this
view an early peace agreement on
essentials would release the armies
including the American troops hold
ing the occupied regions.
Would Consider Plan Later.
Having secured an early agree
ment on territorial and other prac-
tIcal details, Il is suggested the
larger general questions. like a
league Of nations, could come up
later for extended discussion either
by the peace congress or separate
International congress TO formulate
the working details Of the league
This view Is chiefly held by those
favorinE the old Vienna congress
procedure OF individual claims first,
while the American viewpoint Is dis
tInctly favorable to establishing
ideals first as the guiding principle
Of tho congress.

That team has been changing around
a good deal OF late, and the Kendall
bunch have lost track of them TO a
good extent.
There is plenty OF room out at
