Lower Vitality Noticed Dur

DUBLIN. Ireland, August 4.-Some-
times one hears the argument:
ireland was never SO well of; it
didn't feel the war at ALL
Didn't it? Ask Irish social work ers.
Look, they say, at the vital statistics
People could not afford to marry. The
already low vitality of the country
grew less, so tuberculosis increased
and the birth rate fell. This. they
say, was true of all Ireland, but es-
pecially of the cities.
Babies certainly got scarcer in Ire
land. In 1913 there were 10000 ba-
bies born, but In 1917 the number
dropped to $3.50. tuberculosis jump
ed. Before the war Ireland's tuber-
culosis rate put her in a class with
Serbia, and since the war it has in
creased. Which of the tuberculosis
is said to have been brought back by
returned migrants, and during the
war the annual harvest migration of
so, 900 boys and girls to England and
Scotland was increased by a munition
migration which totaled 10000 place
ments.
Housing, ordinarily, is very bad In
the proclaimed town of Westport,
which, like many of its neighboring
towns, sends its harvest quota abroad,
there are many boys with an Eng
lish cold" According to DR.. Berming-
ham of the Westport union these boys
acquire consumption across the chan
mel, where they sleep on bags in dark,
ill-ventilated barns called Paddy
houses" Whether bad housing of mu-
milton workers tended to raise the
rate or not, there was tuberculosis
marriages were fewer The whole
country was said ot be becoming
"Sligo-like," for in certain parts of
Sligo those who did not emigrate were
confronted with the cost Of subsist-
ence and have never married. Wed

dropped to 21,073.

"In Belfast and in Ireland gener-

males suffer from tuberculosis. In
Great Britain the reverse is the case.
In former years, however, they had
much the same experience in Great
Britain as we have here, but it
would be necessary to go back over

Juarez expedition, American lives and
property in Mexico will pay a heavy
penalty, Senator Fall. admittedly the
best informed man on Mexican affairs
IN Congress, warned the Senate to-day
While he was speaking Secretary
Baker issued statement disavowing
any intention Of doing more than pro-
tect American lives on the American
side OF the river Mr.. Baker greeted
with Fine" the statement that the
American troops were rapidly return
ing to the American side
Mr. Fall declared the effect Of the
occupation of Juarez by the American
troops would be the same in Mexico
whether the real purpose was TO pro-
tect American lives, or whether it was
actually TO save the Carranza garri-
son in that town. In Mexico, he de-
clared, it would be believed that the
Americans were siding with the Car
ranzlstas, and as result massacres
Of American citizens by the Villistas
might be looked for.
Carranza, he declared was president
Of Mexico only by grace of the United
States government, and he is power
less, Mr.. Fall said, to protect Ameri-

Senator King, of Utah, strong
supporter of the Administration on
most questions, declared he would have

lives and property.
At the State and War Departments it
was declared that nothing remotely ap-
preaching an invasion of Mexico is in
volved in the Juarez crossing to-day
by American troops, and there is the
best of feeling between the United
States and the Mexican government
Both Secretary Baker and Acting
Secretary of State Phillips empha-
sized the determination Of this govern
ment to limit the action TO steps
actually necessary to protect lives and
property on the American side of the
river.

there had been no casualties in the
American forces across the river. A

the Villa forces, as my forces defended
the town most bravely."
AT the fort it was announced that
the seventy Villa prisoners had been
taken south with General Gonzaless
column and that eight officers of Villas
command made prisoners had been ex-
ecuted. 1t was also stated by ajor
Hernandez that the body of Manuel
Castro, Villa general, had been found
in the trenches east of the town.
The number Of Villa rebels killed
during the engagement was placed at
200 by the Carranzistas, while 20 were
wounded, they said. They said they

One American officer in command Of

ROME, June 16.-Italian forces are
advancing on the Villach- -Sanvito line,
on the frontier between Italy and
Jugo-Slavia, to counteract the action of
the Jugo-Slavs in the Klagenfurt re-
gion, in the Austrian province of Carin-

cording to decision reached at Paris,
to be neutral zone and the population
was to decide its own fate by a plebi-

the Italian advance says:
The Jugo-Slavs wished to occupy
Klagenfurt to influence by force the
sef-determination Of the people, and,
besides, intended to control all railway
communications between Trieste and
the hinterland-"

from the United States in handling the
situation.
Il told General Gonzales that there
was no idea Of invading Mexican SOW

withdraw as soon as possible" General
Cabell announced, following the inter-
view.
General Cabell then sent out the fol-
lowing order TO the commanders Of the
troops on Mexican soil:
IN the absence of any important
reason TO the contrary, you Will with
draw your entire command and re-
cross the border to the United States
at noon to-day
At II O'Clock the entire I'd Cavalry
Brigade, composed OF the 7th and 9TH
Cavalry regiments, could be seen plain
iy about eight miles south and west Of
Juarez, IN hot pursuit of the Villa
iorces, which they had engaged near
San Lorenzo.
At 11.20 o'clock the American cav
airy appeared to be gaining rapidly
On the Villa band, which was making a
desperate effort to reach the mountains
to the southwest of Juarez.
The pursuit, which started east of
'uarez, swung to the west, and the
columns could be seen in a cloud Of
gust to the southwest, beyond Juarez.
Family Visible at Noon
By noon the two columns were only
ialntly visible in the dust screen and
was impossible to tell whether the
american troops were in contact with
the fleeing Villa riders.
Soon after this the withdrawal Of
the American troops began.
The American forces fought their
nrst general engagement with the Villa
rebels at the Juarez racetrack shortly
after o'colck this morning, and the
Americans were victorious. Villas
troops were driven from the racetrack k
~ rihe and machine gun fire, and many
prisoners were reported taken by the
United States cavalry, which took up
positions on the east and southeast of
'ne track. according TO an official re-
port at military headquarters.

Shells Seen from Ell Paso
American machine guns started sput-
tering from adobe houses near the race
track and the preponderance Of rife fire
was soon with the American forces
The preliminary artillery preparati ton
having been completed, the shrapnel
guns became silent as the rifles took up
the work. The explosion of Mauser and
American cartridges could be plainly
distinguished from military keadouar-
ters in the Mills Building in Ell Paso,
where General Erwin was an interested
spectator from a tenth-story window
AS the American cavalry maneuvred
over the Juarez plain their positions
were marked by green rocket flares and
were answered by similar star shells
from the top of the Mills Building. At
2:30 a. m. the rife firing had died
down, indicating the Villa forces were
defeated and were being driven into the
hills or pursued by the United States
cavalry.
Invasion Not Intended
The American artillery was stationed
in positions from which the Juarez race
track, where the Villa rebels were
quartered, could be shelled with
shrapnel. A thanking movement was
begun in an effort to prevent the escape
Of the rebels.
In announcing his action in ordering
Americans into Mexico Brigadier Gen
eral Erwin in a formal statement said
he had done so to prevent the indis-
criminnte firing into Ell Paso by rebel
soldiers, endangering the lives of Amer
leans.

THE SLEEPING SICKNESS.

The sleeping sickness, known to
the medical profession as encephali-i
tbs lethargica or epidemic coma, has
appeared in England in the last six
months, in New York, Chicago, and,
possibly, Rocky Mount, North Caro-
lima. In the last week there have
been the first two deaths from it in
New York. That city's health COM
missioner, DR.. R. S. Copeland, has
issued a warning concerning it.. The
malady is not always fatal, yet no
successful method of treating it is
known.
The symptoms are sore throat,
headache, a drowsy feeling, dizziness,
aching and dropping of the eyelids
and great difficulty in keeping awake
after having the disease ten hours.
In addition, the patient appears to
lose all strength, is sometimes unable
to make any voluntary movement,
and is "as expressionless as wax
figure"
According to DR.. Copeland. there
are two forms of attack, one passibly
being sequel of Influenza. while the
otter, the true f5rm, does rot icw
influenza.
There ace possibly forty "a in
New York, but there have been but
two deaths. Out Of one hundred and
S.yty-four cases re a1rtcd in England
since last fall there were thirty-eight
deaths. One death, ascribed to this
disease, has just occurred in Rocky
Mount, North Carolina. ~" a..
This malady is not the kfrican
sleeping sickness which is limited 10
tropical Afr:ca and communicated
by the tsetse fly. 1t first appeared
in the latter part Of the seventeenth
century in Germany. It appeared in
Italy and Hungary. in 1890 and in
parts Of Europe and the Unitcd
States in 1895. The first case in
England was IN 1918 when five per-
