In connection with the report of the fire committee Mayor Matheson, speaking pn- officially for the Wilson &.Syl- .yester Mill Go, stated that the company greatly. appreciated the prompt and efficient service of the .Wrangell Fire department which prevented the fire at the mill from spreading and thereby caused the loss to be far less than it otherwise would have. been.

"Doni't Cough, .Donf .Sneeze,
 Don't Spit "

WASHINGTON.-Re Respiratory diseases having caused practical Ely al the sick and death rate in the, natioii's armies, the medical corps has begun a nation wide campaign of prevention against pneumonia, measles, diptheria, 1nunps, meningitis; infantiie pa raiysis, influenza and tuber culoSiS.
 All ef the diseases mentioned are spread er communicated in the same way-+thru the transfer of, nasal and mouth secretions. The sickness rate thru the coun- try eouldi.be cut to the minimum if the general public stopped promiscuous coughing, sneezing and splitting.
 One sneeze in aaeroWded street car may infect many persons in the ear with pneumonia, or measles. CT diptheria, or humps, or meningitis. One hearty cough could do the same. In either case spread of any of these diseases could be prevented; If "a sneezer or a.cougher a used his handker- chief as a cough catcher to sneeze or cough in.
 Unlike some disease germs, the germs which cause the di 5eases mentioned do not die or become harmless upon drying. So that when they are dried and blown about with the dust they are<still capable of setting up di- sease in many other people.
 Apparently, however, the pub lie generally is totally ignorant of the immeasurable harm that is done through nnguarded and promiscuous coughing, sneezing and splitting. Army medical corns experts. Whosahape given untiring study to this problem, have reached the conclusion that a national campaign must be in- augurated at Honce, not only in the camps but in the homes, in the offices, in the street cars, and in all pdblfc places, lo3stasap out this widespread habit of splitting and coughing, if health conditions are to be improved.
 They feel that such a campaign is as. important in every way for the object to be achieved, as was the now famous and eminently successful fly-swatting campaign, which started some years ago. For this reason the surgeon gen. eral, therefore, .appesls to Ithe public to'1nake. the; Don' tcougn, don't Ssneeze, don't spit' slogan as widely quoted and effective as Swat the fy.'

sCoTCHED, BUT NOT KILLED.

Peace talk while Germany is numbering nom
Icombatants and women and children is a mock
Iery 1t is obvious despite the studied effort of
Dr. Won Solf the imperial secretary of state for
foreign affairs, to make it appear otherwise,
that there has been no real change in the gov
eminent at Berlin. What may be understood
lin reading of the secretary's reply to this
government inquiry is solely that the snake
has been scotched but not killed. German Of
fcialdom is concerned in that it may have a
place of influence, even though that Influence
be infinitesimal, at the peace discussion table.
But that must not be. Final peace terms must
be made by the allies and the place should be-
Berlin. Let us not now tarnish all that we have
done and all that the innocent have suffered by
accepting anything less than what we and our
allies have been fighting for.

escadrille have agreed-at least such of them
as may survive the war-to engage in a free
for-all, round the-world airplane race when
hostilties have ceased.
The project plques the imagination. What a
glorious voyage that would be, How punv and

eighty days by steamship and railroad train and
other mediums of travel! And after the vow

would desire another route by land and seat
1t will be a great world-or smaller world.
to be exact-when the airplanes become as safe
as the automobiles Meanwhile there is more
practical work for our aviators to do. In order
to make the world safe for air circumnaviga
ton it is essential that they shall drop tons and
tons of dynamite and other high explosives on
certain portions of German territory where
they will do the most good. The Hun delights TO
drop dynamite bombs other peoples heads

ON his own. he does not like to see his mu-

Eouses and cards. He does not fancy being
blown into thousand pieces and said pieces
scattered over a few square miles of German
territory. He has too much ego in his compo-
sltlon, and he isn't-a good sport That is why
