"SWAT THE FLY"
CRUSADE is ON

. y = y v y y - y y y
/ DR.. E. L. Dawson, city superin.
tendent of health has launched the
annual Swat the fly crusade. In
! the following statement, DR.. Dawson
outlines the dangers to health and
life that accompany the fly and
tells how to rid the premises of the
pest:
Down south they already started
swatting the fly. The health au-
thorities Of Georgia, Florida and
Louisiana are putting up posters de-
picting the habits of the house fly
and its proclivity for gathing and
disseminating disease germs. etc
The principle of "the fewer flies"
the less sickness is being impressed
upon school children as we'll as
housewives. The state food and
drug commissioner of Tennessee,
has offered two gold medals to
school pupils for the best essays on
the housefly as a menace to health.
"In California the women have
organized for the good fight The
Texas health officials are issuing
bulletins warning the public against
their peril The Merchants associa-
tion of New York has issued rules"
for dealing with the fly nuisance.
The anti-fly crusade of Detroit puts
the fly in the same class as the
mad dog and the snake in the grass.
He turks in every corner. He plants
his disease germs on your bread.
He buries them in your butter. He
browns them in your baby's milk
bottle. There is no escape if he
once enters your nome.

A STATE IN BUSINESS.

There is a great row on up in
North Dakota. That state is con
trolled by what is known as the
Non-Partisan league, and at the
last session Of the legislature the
state was authorized to create
an industrial commission, which
will have authority to handle a
$10,000,000 bond issue for farm
loans. This, with an act for the
establishment of a central bank
by the state and the creation of
state terminal elevator, capi-
talized at $4,000, 600 Of the com
monwealth s funds, caused the
row.
A petition is being circulated
to have thesese measures re-
ferred back to the voters for APP
proval This the Non-Partsan
league is said to be combating,
and the row is growing merrier
every day. The governor, elect
ed by the Non-Partisan league,
attorney general and labor com
missioner, are to comprise the
commission for the expenditure
Of these funds. These measures
are opposed by the Independent
Voters association, who are
against the state entering these
lines Of business in competition
with citizens.
This scheme may work ont all
right, but there is an element Of
doubt about it which would

DEFENDS SHANTUNG PACT.
Gerhard NJ. Dahl Says Facts Are
MisunderstOOd.

Gerhard NJ. Dahl. vice-president of the
Chase National Bank and president Of
the Japan Society. issued a statement
last night relative to the Shantung con-
troversy. in which he declared that there
is widespread misconception of the
facts supporting the Shantung provision
of the peace treaty.
ANY dispassionate consideration of
the facts" he said, Should lead an un-
biased mind to the conclusion that on
the merits OF the case Japan is entitled
to everything given to her by the peace
treaty in the Province of Shantung. AS
a matter of fact Japan received by the
peace treaty only those rights which
Germany had acquired in the Province
of Shantung by virtue OF the treaty en-
tered into with China in 1898. which
treaty covers chiefly the port of Kiao-
Chau, consisting of about 200 square
miles and containing about $4,000 peo-
Pile"
Mr.. Dahl bases his argument largely
upon the fact that China, France and
England agreed by treaty to cede to
Japan the rights owned by Germany in
the Shantung province.

The principal Mexican and Car
rama papers were violently hostile
| to Americans during the war.
1t is difficult TO determine whether
the CarranZa Government is more
unfricndly to Americans than other
foreigners because owing to the
greater number of Americans in Mex
leo, more of them were injured. Mr..
Fletcher knew of no Germans or
Spaniards being murdered.

| American war vessels remained in

that the United States Government
