AMERICANS APPEAR FUTILE.

sociated Press. Interest in Mexican
developments today shifted to the
interior where American citizens are
at the mercy of the bandit, Villa,

prisal, following the battle with
American troops Monday.
Telegraph lines are down south of
Juarez and the railroad is complete
ly wrecked between Juarez and Chi
huahua City. Wagon roads are dan
gerous because of Villas presence in
that section, so that nothing has been
learned of developments.
Efforts to warn Americans in Mex

A committee representing the
Chamber of Commerce will go before
the city council at its regular rreet-
ing Thursday night for the purpose
of asking the city to make good ohe-
half of the pledge of $4,000, given
the government last winter by the
Chamber of Commerce, that chat
amount of money to carry on the
anti malarial maintenance work here
would be Forthcoming, if called for
by the government.
Recently the Chamber of Com
merce was notified by the government
that, owing to the greatly reduced ap-
preparation for the department of
public health for the coming fiscal
year, beginning July 1, the guaran-
teed fund would be required, to start
on that date. 1t was stated that the
money was to meet the payroll, av-
eraging about $500 per month, for
labor required on the project during
the next four months, or until the
close of the malaria season.
The matter was brought up at a
recent meeting of the board of COM
missioners of the Chamber of Com
merce, at which the records in the
matter were produced. These show
led that the money was, guaranteed
by the Chamber last winter as a nee.
essary condition upon which the work
twas to be continued by the govern.
ment this spring, and at time when
because of changing administrations
of both city and county, it was i'm
possible for the government to secure
definite action by either the county
board or city council. The Chamber
of Commerce officials, considering the
continuation of the work imperative,
and having faith in the city and
county officials recognizing later on
if necessity arose the obligation which
Shey were merely underwriting, as
sured the government that the money
would be Forthcoming if needed, and
the work was continued, and the
drainage project completed. Only
maintenance now remains.
Mosquito Eradicated.
That it has been one of the most
valuable pieces of development work
ever undertaken here was the opin-
ion of various business men at the
meeting of the Chamber commission
ers, and it was freely commented up
on that the mosquito, once a serious
menace to health and comfort, had
been eradicated entirely.
Recognizing that the obligation to
the government is binding, the COM
missioners authorized President Shef-
field to appoint committee to go be-
fore the city council and the county
commissioners to ask these two bod
les to appropriate the money neces-
sarry to carry out the pledge. Mr..
Sheffield appointed the following
Frank P. Harold, chairman; L. A.
Morgan, Lovelace Eve and Joseph
Perkins.
Lieut.. w. ~. lleueHdIl, IN cnafge
of the anti-malariaI work here, has
submitted to Mr.. Perkins, as secre-
tary of the Chamber of Commerce, a
statement of the project which ex-
plains what has been done and is con-
templated. His statement follows:
Lieut.. Tiedeman Explains.

u. S. CALLS FOR PAYMENT
OF DRAINAGE GUARANTEE
Chamber of Commerce, Which Pledged $4,000
If Needed, To Ask City and County To
Appropriate Fund Which They Under
wrote in Emergency

ment of the present status of this
work.
Malaria control work was started
in the Extra Cantonment zone South
er Field, April Is, 1918, with the CO.
operation and financial assistance of
the city, county and chamber of
commerce. Ditching, drainage, and
oiling work has been carried on over
an area of 1914 square miles; 8
miles of creek channel has been work
ed and Strengthened, and 81 miles of
bitches have been opened up. In oil
ing these bitches and other stand
ing water, 1888 gallons of oil have
been distributed during the 1918
breeding season. No exact figures on
the reduction of malaria as the re-
suit of this work can be given, as
records on communicable diseases
have not been kept in the past. How
ever, out of 588 blood specimens ta-
ken during 1918 in the sections
where malaria is generally most prev
alent, only showed the presence of
the malaria organism.
"The above mentioned drainage
work and the oiling work for the 1918
season cost about SAT, 800, of which
the government furnished $45,000,
The city, county and chamber of
commerce furnished $4,000 of this,
and will have tools returned to the
value of about $3.50. The oiling work
will be continued by the government
until June 80, at cost of approx
imately $4,000. This amount includes
the purchase of oil to the value of
about $400, which is now on hand and
may be used for completing the work
this season.
"The service informs me that due
t radical reductions in its appro-
rl,at ons for the fisrli year begin
ling July 1, 1919, it will he me- cssary
to restrict its work in this zone to
the supervision of anti-malaria work
already under wav.
"The work yet to be done consists
in spraying oil on the 21 miles of
bitches and other standing water at
IA day intervals between July l and
November 1, 1919. This work will
require the maintenance of an oiling
crew, consisting of foreman and d
laborers for that reriod, and other
expenditures for gasoline, oil, truck
repairs, and other small items. The
total cost of which should not exceed
$4,000. If weather conditions are
favorable, the cost may be somewhat
less. AS has already been stated, the
government will furnish the oil for
this work.
Condition of Continuance.
members of the City Council and
Chamber of Commerce were ap-
preached early in the year with re
gard to raising about $4,000 toward
malarial control work this season. 1t
was with the assurance that this
money would be forthcoming when
needed that the service undertook to
start the work.
81 feel deeply grateful for the in
terest that is being taken in this
work locally and feel sure that you
will get good return for the money
spent in it. Other South Georgia
cities have found it necessary to un-
dertake this work without any gov
eminent assistance other than occas-
sional supervision. Respectfully sub
mitted

ADMIRAL DENIES
 EP|GRAM REPORT

NEW YORk.-Eice-Admiral Will liam s. Sims, commander of the American naval forces in the war zone, refuses to be known to history as the author of laconic reply to the British naval commander who asked when the American destroyers sent to Queenstown to help conquer Germany would be ready to fight The famous words as attributed to Eice-Admiral Sims were: We can start at once. We made our pre- paration on the way"
 What actually happened, asserts the vice-admiral in a letter pub lished here, was that when the de- stroyers commanded by Commander Joseph K. Taussig arrived at Queens town after their 3,000-mile trans Atlantic voyage, they were in need of coaling. Admiral Bayly asked when the American ships would be ready for service and Commander Taussig replied that he would be ready "as soon as his vesesls could be refueled."
 Eice-Admiral Sims writes that he was at that time in Paris. He added that Commander Taussig twas one of the ablest destroyer commanders who, served under me in the Atlantic flotilla and the reply he made to Admiral Bayly was exactly the re- ply I would have expected him to make. I can make no claim to hav- ing made use to any epigramatical expression on this ac"osion."

DICK MORRIS HAS GONE ID WALES
 TC CLAIM BRIDE

On the last mail Alex Fowler re- ceived a letter from Dick Morris, intimating that he was leaving for Wales on a boat which was sched- uled to sail from New York March 18th. Dick, by this time, is no doubt safe in his own home town, and perhaps is taking in the sights in the company of his best girl, whom he will bring to Nenana this summer as his wife.
 Dick encountered considerable difficulty in securing passport to enable him to travel to his native land and claim his bride, and it is evident that he has been able to convince the authorities that the trip he was contemplating to Europe was on business of an important and necessary nature, as these are said to be the only grounds on which passports allowing travel abroad are issued.
 A telegram from Dick, announc- ing his marriage and the date of his return to Nenana may be looked for at any time now.
