 The revolution in Guerrero, he said, was more serious for the Mexicap federal gov ernment than the movement in Sinaioa where troops under Gen Angel Flores continue to progress toward MazaHsn. The reyolutionists from Snaloa and so- nora plan to join with the rebels in Guerrero for the attack on Mexico City. Capture of Mazatlan by the rebels they expect will easily lead to the subjusa- tion of the balance of Sinaloa and rapl progress through Nayarit, which is said Ito be sympathetic with the Sonora cause. In Jalisco the next state south revolu- tionary forces are said to be making head
 way, as is reported also tho case in colina, where the capital city of colima and the port of Manzanillo are iohjectives of the victorious rebel troops. Miehoacen also was reported in revolt against car ranza. and adjoins Guerrero.

INDUSTRIOUS CHARGE .OF SIMS INSULT ID EVERY MAN IN NAVY
 ANNIE M'KEAN
Statement That Navy De- partment Had No Plans for War Will Also Be
 DisprOved, Declares
ADMIRAL M'KEAN
By Assoo,r,es P~a

Washington, April 27.-Sharp crft- icism of Rear Admiral Sims, voiced to- day before the Senate naval investfsa- ting committee by Rear Admiral J, s. Mex can, former assistant chief of naval operations, resulted in tilt between Chairman Hale and Senator Trammel. democrat, Florida, when Admiral Mc- Kean was reprimanded by Senator Hale for indulging in personalities" The officer declared he was only following a precedent set by Admiral Sims in his testimony, while Senator Trammel remarked that the chairman's objections to personalities had not run against Admiral sims "snappy com ments"
 | Admiral McKean. whose appearance followed completion of the cross-ex- | animation of Capt. w. V. Pratt. who had been on the stand several days, in- sisted he was not seeking to defend Secretary Daniels or to damn sims in what he said.
 CHARGE INDUSTRIOUS" Admiral sims charge that delays on the part of the navy department early in the war prolonged hostilities four months and cost 500, 900 additional lives were "monstrous,' Admiral McKean 1 said, adding that if it had been made by a patient in the government in- sane asylum" it could be understood but that coming from "a rear ad- miral or the active list, the head of 1 the naval war college. 1t was an insult to of 1 or who served in the navy during the war" 1 Tt has been or will be entirely dis proved" he declared.
 | The charge that the department had l no plans for war; also, was unfounded, | the officer said. He added that one plan In particular had been in exist
 ence for years before the war and was l corrected up to the time the United l States joined the allies and constantly l changed as the situation altered during I the war. The plan was not perfect, he 1 said because of new elements injected into the war by the German submarine l campaign.
 CRITICISES DANIELS Captain Pratt, in answer to Senator Trammei, who sought to show that | Admiral Sims letter to Secretary Dam
 els, entitled some naval lessons of
 the world war" was in reality a sweep
 ing criticism of Secretary Daniels and
 naval officers generally, said he bad
 no reason to doubt Admiral Sims
 declaration that it was not intended as
 personal criticism. He could not
 avoid the impression, however, he added, that Sims was criticising the
 chief of naval operations, whether he intended to or not.
 | "I cannot say what was in Sims
 mind,v Captain Pratt said. He is
 sometimes impulsive and was exceed ingly so when he said the navy was
 responsible for the great losses of the
 war;
 Secretary Daniels was not Admiral
 sims target. the officer declared, add
 ing that he knew of no specifinc in-
 stance where MT Daniels interferred
 with sims.

cases are in Portland.
DR.. l. D. Bristol. the State health
commissioner. said Thursday there
is yet nothing to cause alarm except
in Portland as the cases are pretty
well scattered over the State and
are Of mild type. Portland IL the
only place which has called for
nursing assistance.
Commissioner Bristol and his as
sistants in the State Health depart

Health. Another dozen Of these noti-
fable diseases impose upon health
officials and physicians the task of
keeping the death rate down."
A brief summary, prepared for pop
ular education on matters of COM
municable disease takes up these
common infectious diseases and says:
"Altogether too frequently it is hap
pening that smallpox remains for a
while uncontrolled with the final out
come Of much illness, business disrup-
ton, and expense to the individual
and the community just because it is
so often taken for chickenpox.
Chickenpox is however also a noti-
fable disease which the householder
and physician is under obligation to
report. II all such cases of supposed
chickenpox were reported there would
be much less chance of smallpox get
ting under way.
1.-THE present Maine system of
registration of deaths went into effect
in 1892, a few years before antitoxin
for diptheria came into use. In the
five years following 1892. the average
death rate from diphtheria was 80;
in the last five years. the average
death rate from this disease has been

no greater is because many cases do
not receive the antitoxin or receive
it too late.

Of scarlet fever has been mild but a
malignant type may develop from
mild cases.

long been additionally classed among

who opposed this bill assured me that
they would gladly favor a measure

an appropriation Of $4,000 each year
is necessary to do justice to this i'm

The commissioner Of agriculture
should. in my opinion, have some d.
rect oversight, fixed by the Legisla-
ture. over the local milk inspectors.
This is chiefly necessary because of
the failure of some inspectors to full
fill the duties Of their office.
The commissioner Of agriculture
should also be 6 ranted more author
