BEACH FOLKS
 PREPARING FOR
 BIG CELEBRATION

The summer colonies along the Milford shore have planned to make the celebration of the Fourth of July this year one that will long be re- membered According to the fire commissioners this will be the last time that 1t will be legal to celebrate with fireworks and firearms in the time honored way.
 They have passed a new ordnance that goes into effect on the 9th, which imposes Q heavy penalty on any enc selling or using fire arms or fireworks after that date. Accord ing to the United States law this will be the last time that the day can be celebrated with the use of frewater that contains the least amount of ex- plosive alcohol. These laws are of course In effect now but most of the residents have enough on hand for their personal use to enable them to enjoy the day In the customary man. ner.
 All along the shore from the Hous- atomic to Oyster River including Laurel, Walnut. Myrtle. Seaside, Sil- yer and Fort Trunbull beaches up to woodmont, the residents have made preparations to entertain greater crowds than ever before.
 The Milford Yacht club at Fort Trumbull will have boat and swim ming races, fireworks and a dance In thee lubhouse in the evening. Silver Beach will have games on land and in the water both morning and after noon and fireworks in the evening while Myrtle and Walnut beaches will have the usual attractions with many new ones to attract and enter tain the strangers who will flock to this popular resort. The Connecticut Company have made preparations to handle the largest crowd in it's his tory and promise that there will be no lack of transportation to mar the day,

C0SSACKS OPEN BAGGAGE OF US,
 CONSUL HARRIS

TolSio, July 4.--- -(Correspondence of The Associated Press.) )---Ernest W. Harris, the American consul general at Irkutsk, had a disagreeable expe- rience recently at Dauria, between ManchuH and Cihta. according to Si- berian advices, when his baggage was forcibly opened by troops of General SemenOf, the Cossack leader.
 MT. Harris was travelling eastward from Omsk on a special train to which his private car was attached. Sem enCffs men, composed of Russians, Buriats, Mongolians and Chinese, boarded the train and insisted upon inspecting the baggage Of MT. Harris and his party. This demand was re- fused and the train was held at the station for six hours pending a de- cision of Semenoff's officers as to whether they should open the bag gage. Guards were kept on board Mir Harris car during the interval and at least 800 troops were drawn up be- side the train, with machine guns sta- toned so as to bear directly on the American consul generals car.
 The Semenoff commander finally decided that the baggage must be in spected, and at midnight his men broke upon all the trunks, boxes and bags in the possession of the American official party and made a nasty search of their contents. It does not appear that they levied any duties or took away any property belonging to Mr. Harris or his companions. The bag gage was closed by the troops before leaving.

FRANCE FAVORS
 COMING OF ALL
 FOREIGN PEOPLE

The changed attitude of the French toward emigration is mentioned as a symptom of the far-reaching changes of a war upheavaI in Human Cur rents of the War" by Herbert Adams Gibbons, in Everybody's for July. The French can not afford to look with disfavor upon the settlement of soldiers and other foreigners in France" writes Mir. Gibbons.
 ''The aid France received from African and Asiatic co1onials was not greater on the front than in the rear. Kabyles from southern Algeria were sweeping the streets and collecting the garbage of Paris. There has been a large inux of population to intuition centers and ports from Sen egal, the Sudan, Algeria, Tunis, Nor occo, Madagascar and Indo-China; Brest, Nantes, Bordeaux, MarseilIes, Lyons, have become the worlds meet ing places. French employment agents secured Spain and Italy. Refugees from Servia were received cordially Al lover France one finds farms work ed by German prisoners, and garri- sons and detachment of English, Americans, Belgians, Russians, Cana dians, South Africans, Australians. Portuguese, Poles, Czecho -SIovaks Armenians, Syrians and Anamites Even the friendliest of tourists used to feel instinctively the xenophobia of the French provinces.

RED CROSS GIVES
 CHILDREN THE FIRST TREATMENT

Bucharest, July 4-(Correspon- dence of The Associated Press)-The children of Rumania are the special care of the American Red Cross nurses who are showing Rumanian mothers how to care properly for them- They are distributing in fants' clothing, condensed milk, soap. talcum powder and everything that contributes to a baby's comfort In this field of relief wok the efforts of the Americans already have shown remarkable results. The condition of the children has been wonderfully i'm proved.
 The Red Cross workers found the children in all these war-affected towns in a pitiful state of impover- ishment. Many of them were slowly dying of starvation. Others had pellagra and malignant skin diseases. These little ones are now being cared for and given nourishing and fatten- ing foods, such as bacon, jam, cod liver oil, etc. They have shown won derful improvement since the Ameri- cans came.
 All these children have been un- der the stress and strain of war for four years and have really never known what childhood is. In com mon with their parents, they have borne the keenest privations and sufferings. Since Rumanda entered tn ewar they have not known what ii is to play or to laugh. Hunger has obbed them of that spirit. The war has blighted their lives No smiles have come to their faces, no happi- ness Into their hearts. They are like overs which have never seen the sun- shine. Their wan, pinched little countenances tell a tragic story. They have had neither proper food, shelter nor clothing. Many of them have lost either one or both parents.
 The Red Cross gives them Ameri. can jam and sweets, the things that youngsters the world over crave for and their dark eyes, frank and melan. choly, light up with a new radiance They become children again. The Americans give them clothing, shoes stockings. They bathe them. The little tots become real human be ings.

IS THE LAND OF MANY
 HIDDEN FLAGS
(By Willard Price in June World
 Outlook.O

Outlook)
 Having recently visited every part of IStria, I have found it the Land of Hidden F1ags-Italian flags, which had been concealed in hooks and cor ners, in attic or cellar, for years or decades, in some cases for more than a century since the time of Ma poleon, awaiting the time when they might again be thrown loose from windows and masts to welcome the soldiers of Italy.
 What Lorraine and Alsace have been to France, the Trentino and Is- tria have been to Italy. Formerly they were Italian territory, of old under the Roman Empire, later under the Venetian Republic. Austria her self, after annexing, commonly refer red to this part of her domain as Italian Austria. Just as in Alsace found strong and numerous German elements, so in Istria there are more numerous though far less strong and Intelligent Slavic clements. In the country districts of the interior the peasants are Greats, Rumanians and SIovenes-but the cities and towns and the country districts of the coast are Italian. As Alsace belongs right fully to France, so Istria inclu ding Plume, is properly a part of Italy.

LONDON TAXIS ARE DECREASED
 BY ONE-THIRD

London, July 4-There are only B. 900 ta-dcabs on the streets of London today as compared with 5000 in 1914. One company owning 5000 idle cars refuses to operate them because the government will not permit it to charge a fiat rate of 25 cents a mile. Five hundred other cars are kept out of service by the police requirement that there shall be a clearance of ten inches between their axles and the ground.
 At a hearing before a committee of Parliament this requirement was de- nounced as a foolish rule. It was fn- tended to save the lives of persons who might be knocked down by taxi cabs. The Parliamentary committed promised to try to have the idle cars put into use.

GAME OF CHESS.

On the day preceding the night on which General Washington had de- termined to cross the Delaware (De- cember 25, 1776), and attack the British in Trenton, an Engli Shman in the neighborhood despatched his son with a note to General Rahl, to warn him of the approaching danger. The General, being deeply absorbed in a game of chess when the note was pre- scented, without withdrawing his at- tention from the game, thoughtlessly put the note into his vest pocket After the battle next day, when the Hessian commander, mortally wound ed, was brought into the house o1 Stacey Potts, the note was found un. read in his pocket.

Dangers To Future Generations

Free clinics for the treatment Of
venereal diseases in Oklahoma are
meeting with an almost unprecedcnt-
ed support They reveal the large
numebr of persons infected with all
ments that are little short of eating
cancers. These diseases unchecked
threaten future generations that are
entitled to be well born. Many per-
sons are known to have been infect
ed innocently. through drinking cups,
sleeping in beds where infected per-
sons have slept without linen
changes, and by direct contact. The
new law is effective against infected
persons handling foodstuffs for gen-
eral consumption. The percentage
OF cases being treated at the various
state clinics show as high as twenty
in every one hunded persons to be in
fected with venereal diseases. This
is an alarming situation. 1t should
serve to arouse the public to the dan
ger OF social evils, the menace OF
prostitution. both public and private
as affecting the general health.

The United States Public Health
Service must depend largely upon
the public to help in the work. Ig-
norance is largely responsible for
present conditions and the prevail.
ence of venereal diseases in the var
ious communities of the state.
Through the cooperation ~ the
press and the public spirited citizens
headway is being made against the
ravages of the Red Menace. Com
munities and civic organizations,
public officials, state. county and city
are the leading assistance. In one
city where drive against vice was
started two weeks ago and about 100
persons arrested. suspected of being
infected. the tests show that 116
were diseased. Welfare boards are
helping in the follOw-up work and
great benefits are expected as a
result OF these vice cusades. the wom-
en- being parolled and provided hon
est employment, and the men are
warned that il they persist in viola
ting the law and continue to carry
infection they will be sent to prison
and confined until cured. The work
Is just starting. 1t is a great work
when once properly understood. and
1t is the desire and wish OF the de-
partment of the Public Health to en-
list the help of all good citizens
