of the Pacific fleet now en- route to
the west coast would be diverted to
Mexican water adding that if addi-
tional forces were needed they would
be drawn from the Atlantic fleet.
Three American warships are now on
duty at or near Tampico. They are
the cruiser Topeka, the gunboat Cas-
tine and the Cheyenne.

Clinic to Be Discussed

The prospects for a venereal dis
ease clinic in this city will be dis
cussed by the Board of Health mem
bers at an informal meeting tonight
Since the setback the project receiv-
ed at the hands of the triple COM
mittee when it was opposed by the
Board of Governors of the Hospital
the health board has been consider
ing what actual work toward the es-
tablishment of a clinic might be done
independently of the Board of Hos
pita1 Governors.
The opinion was expressed that the
Board of Aldermen would probably
assist in any plan that did not call
for the expenditure of a larger sum
of money than had already been
pledged. 1t is believed that the Board
of Trade which fathered the move
ment is still behind it.
