DUTY OF CITIZENS AND PHYSl-
CLANS is POINTED OUT BY DR..
j. l.. VOORHEES,.
Is A NECESSARY SAFEGUSRD
Only in That Way Can Proper Pre-
cauions Be Taken to Prevent the
Spread of Dipthera and other Con-
tageous Diseases.

In view Of tn feact that there are
several cases of diptheria, which is a
highly contagious disease, in the
county, attention was called today by
DR.. J. l.. VOORHEES,, the county health
officer, to the Importance of physi-
clans and citizens generally observ-
ing the law which requires all cases
Of this character be promptly report
ed to the county health officer
While the situation locally os not
at all alarming, it is said that in
Nashville and other places in the
state there are an unusually large
number of cases, making it highly i'm
portant that every precaution posi-
BILE be taken. 1t is the duty of the at
tending physician in every case of
diptheria or any other contagious dis
ease to notify the county health Off
Ger of the case. 1t is also made the
duty of the head of the household
where such cases may exist to give
notice of it to the health officer
The county health officer in turn
must make reports to the state board
of health so that if necessary the ma
chinery of that organization can be
invoked to prevent the spread of any
contagious disease. The county health
officer is required to disinfect any
premises that may have been infect
ed as the result of case of conta-
gious disease. This, of course, he
cannot do if no one has reported to
him the existence of any case of the
character described.
Il is important that places where
there are contagious diseases should
be properly placarded, said DIR. Voor-
HES. that the public may be warned
of the danger and be governed accord
ingly.

saw, was level as table and
four hundred acres of the very finest
alfalfa, and the balance of the place
all in cultivation. The plantation has
eighteen tenant houses and six large
barns and one large colonial resi-
dencC.
The plantation adjoins the planta-
ton of the late General Stephen D.

HAIC'S SPEECH
 REGARDED HERE,
 AS HUGE JOKE
Army Officers Amused at Claim that British Empire
 Won War;"
Didn't Mention Historic Appeal to America For
 Assistance.

Washington, July 10-Sir Douglas Haig has said it again. Tuesday night in a speech at Newcastle, England, he told his audience that ''after all the British Empire won the war. Although the French and Italians helped some, the brunt of the strug- gle during the past two years was borne by the British forces the gen. eral said.
 There was no mention in his speech Of America or the American army. according to the cabled accounts of the meeting. There was no reference to his famous message of appeal to America for help when the British army was fighting with our backs to the wall' and was saved only by the onrush of the American troops. Nobody Else But Britain. Those who listened to the general in his Newcastle address heard from his own lips that Britain alone won the war. Unless they had been pre- viously advised to the contrary they are still ignorant of the fact that America had any part in it. Comment by officials here on Gen eral Haig's pretentious claim was re- strained Staff officers of the army, among them being many who partici- pated in the struggle and are familiar with the reasons why the American troops were brigaded with the British, passed off the remarks highly amusing. They are not serious enough in the opinion of these off cials, to call for any explicit answer.
 Bakers View of It. Secretary Baker was asked wheth- any formal rejoinder to General Haig and whether It would not produce records from British Staff Officers at testing to the service rendered by the United States in winning the war. To these inquiries, Secretary Baker re- piled:
 sir Douglas was talking to his own soldiers and to his own people, just as all of us at home have our own first in our minds. The valor and endurance of the British in this war were great beyond praise. The American soldier made his own demonstra ton of his worth on European battlefelds, and I have no doubt Sir Douglas Haig and all other observers will bear cheerful testi- mony to his greatness"
 The War Department also made public a statement published in the London Daily Mail of May 30, in which tribute to the American forces was paid in these words:
 We shall never forget how in the dark hours of 1918 they came to our aid"
 Champ Clark on Gratitude.
 Former Speaker Champ Clark made this comment on General Haig' $ Gtterance:
 Tt takes a great deal, 1t seems to me, to create a sense of gratitude in the minds of some people,"
 Senators who were approached on the subject laughed and dismissed the subject as a joke.

Newtown, July 10-This Thursday evening an open air concert by the Sandy Hook band will be given in front of the town hall. Newtown. Af- ter the concert a dance will follow at town hall to which admission will be charged for the benefit of the band which has been over-generous dur ing the war period and celebrations of victory. At this gathering a radi- cal change in the dance program will be effected. A prompter has been engaged and an equal if not a greater number of the dances will be of the so-called old fashioned square sets.
 It is hoped in this way, not only to give the older people pleasure, but to prove to the younger the really grace ful movements and unself1sh pleasure to be derived in a quadrille or lanc- CTS. In the last two years or more parents and guardians have looked on with misgivings at the various kinds of new dances.

'DINED PEOPLE THEN PROMISED TO SHOOT THEM Populace of Istria Perse- cuted by Austrian Com
 mander. COL. VOGELHUBER
 THE DASHING WAC Arrival of Italian Troops Saved Citizens From
 Determination.

1 (By Willard Price in June World Out 1 look.)
 | Colonel Voge1huber had had a good
 day.
 He was an Austrian commander in
 Buje. a town of Istria---the land which
 during recent weeks has been claimed
 with so much fervor by both Italy and
 Jugo-Slavia. The country, although
 containing a large Italian population,
 has for centuries been under the rule
 of Austria. During the war, Austria,
 fearing and' hating the Italians of Is-
 tria, placed every town under drastic 1 military control.
 l It was the chief task of Coolnel Vo-
 gelhuber, commander of Buje to make l the Italians feel his presence. They
 had felt it today. Incensed by his lat
 est decrees. they had come in crowds
 below his windows, discussing, gestic-
 ulating, angrily demanding an audi l ence, until his troops had rammed
 them in the stomach with the butts | of rifles and driven them off Off to | their homes where they would find l that during their absence a few more | objects had mysteriously disappeared. 1 Woolen clothing, perhaps, or some
 pieces of furniture a cherished pie l
 sitioned." It was neat
 He had had a good day but he
 would have a better evening" They l had wanted an audience Very we'll That evening he would grant an audi
 ence to their leading citizens. More
 than that-he would dine them! 1 The leading citizens of Buje will not
 soon forget that dinner. The meal itself was excellent---infinitely better
 than any that they had had for
 months. It consisted of meats "requi- 1 sitioned" from their own herds and
 f1ocks, grains from their own fields,
 wine from their own cellars. The host. Colonel Vogelhuber, sat at the | head of the table, all smiles and be-
 nightly. He was solicitous that every
 one should have plenty. When the
 repast was finished, he rose. l He called the attention of the Ital- ians of Bute to the fact that he had
 sent very few of them to Austrian in ternment camps. He emphasized his tolerance and liberality in this mat
 ter His action, however, had been
 guided by a definite purpose It
 might please them to be informed as | to the purpose which he had had in
 mind
 T do not care to intern you" he | said, in a smiling climax, "beca,se 1 prefer to execute you.
 i The troops of Italy are As .9esent l making some advance. I vEsh simply l to announce to you now that before | they ever reach Buje I shall have the I pleasure of seeing every man of you | shot. Goodnight, gentlemen. The l pleasure has been mtne." Then, showing the yellow streak al- 1 ways present in such natures, he hastily summoned his soldiers, and l every guest was escorted to the street l at the point of a bayonet. | A gay, dashing wag was Vogelhu- | Der. Dashtng he was certainly, few weeks later, when the Italian Bersag- i Here swept into Buje so suddenly that he did not have time to make good his promise, but found it prudent to
 run to save his own skin, even leav- l ing a precious carload of stolen treas-i ] ures behind him.
