at is unfortunate that the pub
lie becomes SO intensely interested
in spectacular epidemic outbreaks
of disease and is so little moved by
the daily occurrence of many pre-
ventable deaths in all parts of the
country. OF the one and one
quarter million deaths occurring In
the United States annually, at least
100000 could easily be prevented
by the application of available
medical knowledge. For example
one of the diseases which becomes
prevalent about this time of the
year is diphtheria. This disease is
responsible for about $4,000 deaths
in the United States annually.
Practically every one of these
deaths could be prevented, for not
only have we an effective anti
toxin for treating the disease when
it occurs, but what is still more
important, we are now able by
means of a simple skin test to de-
termine which children are suscep-
tible to diphtheria. and. this ascer-
tanned. we can effectively immunize
them so as to protect them against
this disease.

"The 10000 or more deaths from
typhoid fever that occur annually
in the United States could also be
largely prevented II communities
everywhere would make certain
that their water and milk supplies
were protected. and IL simple pre-
cautions were taken in homes
where typhoid fever occurs. 1t is
encouraging to know that small
pox has been so well controlled
that at present the average deaths
from it in the United States num-
ber only 400 annually. Neverthe-
less these 400 deaths are entirely
unnecessary. for vaccination has
long shown itself an effective
means of control"

The case involves what is COM
monty known as the gasoline tax
law passed by the 1919 state leg
islature. Before the collection of
the tax by the state was started
an Injunction was granted by Judge
Neblett to prevent the collection
of the tax by the state. The in
junction proceedings were carried
to the supreme court of the, United
States, where an order was given
sustaining the Injunction of Neblett
because of the levy of tax upon

the collection of the tax until such
time as the district court could
pass upon the constitutionality of
the tax when applied to other than
interstate business.
Distributors Get Tax.
While the litigation was prog
ress, the state was unable to col
lect the gasoline revenue, al
though the tax was quite gener-
ally collected from patrons by gas
oline sales stations over the state.
Whether an effort will be made to
redistribute to purchasers the
amounts collected by stations in
this way, is a question:
In the Continental Oil company
case, regarded as test suit which
will prevent the collection of the
tax from any dealer or distributor,
the attorneys for plaintiffs and
defendants stipulated that the
company shipped into the state in
1918 a total of 77,243 barrels of
gasoline of fifty gallons each and
sold the gasoline in broken pack
ages, and also shipped into the
state and sold in unbroken pack
ages, 4,60S barrels of gasoline.
During 1919. the company sold
74,99S barrels of gasoline in broken
and 1857 barrels in un-
broken packages.
Method of Sales Considered.
The supreme court of the United
States decided that the tax when
to the class of business in
which barrels of gasoline were
shipped into the state and sold in
the containers in which shipped
was beyond the taxing power of the
state because 1t interfered with
commerce. This left to

ENGLAND DON'T LIKE
RUSS DECISION, BUT
FRENCH PRESS DOES
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, July 2S.-The decision
reached by Premiers Millerand and
Lloyd George at their BoulOgne con-
ference yesterday, to stand by the
original plan for peace conference
with the Russian soviets, and that the
London conference which the soviet
demanded could not take place unless
the Bolshevik reversed their present
attitude and agreed to discuss at the
conference peace with Poland with all
qualified representative of Russia and
the border states in attendance-re-
ceives no enthusiastic endorsement by
the London press.
BY the anti-Bolsbevik papers 1t is
roundly denounced, one Of them saying
it will bring nearer that diplomatic
recognition of the soviet government
which We especially detest and
dread"
Premier Lloyd George, whom these
papers regard as anxious to establish
relations with the soviet, is sharply
criticised, as one of them puts 1t, for
surrendering to the Bolshevik1 and
creating by his policy a very serious
situation"

The London Times declares the
matter is too grave for irrevocable
decision behind closed doors" and
maintains that it must be submitted
to TIE parliaments of the allies. The
paper sympathizes with the French
view that America must have voice
in the question, implying its belief
that America would repudiate an
agreement based on recognition of
Bolshevik conditions.

Is the last thing anybody desires, "
the Herald says-"we must come to

The Chronicle describes the Bou-

Former Empress of Germany
Suffers From Heart Attacks

DOORN, Holland, July 28-The for
mer German Empress, Auguste Vic
toria, has undergone so much distress
during the past two years that she
has suffered for several months from
aggravated attacks of heart disease,
during several of which her life was
despaired. Recently she has been
leading the life of an invalid. She
has had milder attacks of this malady
for many years.
At the House of Doom, where, sur
rounded by a staff of her own Berlin
servants, and attended almost con-
stantly by Countess Kellar-for many
years her lady in waiting-she has re-
Gently been so completely indisposed
that she has at times been unable to
walk and has not for a long time
been permitted to walk up or down
the stairs. A special elevator was
built for her use.
Those familiar with the inner life
Of the former Emperor's household
since the flight from Potsdam to Hol-
land declare that while William, con-
soling himself with religion, has been
more or less of stole, the former
empress has suffered great mental
distress and has felt severely the
separation from her children.
From the time she arrived at Amer
ongen, in November, 1918, she has suf-
fered continually, Now and then, she
was the victim of heart attacks so
severe that she was confined to her
bed for several days at a time.

COX, IN SECLUSI0N,
DRIVES AHEAD TO
COMPLETE SPEECH
(By Associated Press)

DAYTON, O., July 2S.-An all day
stretch, debating to his secretary his
address for August 7, accepting the
Democratic presidential nomination,
was the exclusive but formidable af-
fair today before Governor. Cox.
1t was the first day since his nomi-
nation that his engagement list was
blank, and he planned to make the
most of the opportunity to work un-
interruptedly on the acceptance
speech.
Installments of the address were to
begin going to the governors print
shop today, with arrangements for
strict secrecy. The governor has
stated that he desires to have his
address live copy" in its news feat
ures as delivered Aug. Z without be.
ing discounted by advance statements.
Keeps His Mouth Shut
While some of his main subjects
like the league of nations, industrial
affairs, campaign contributions and
others are patent, the governor is
keeping close counsel regarding their
details. Also he has yet given no in
timation whether he would discuss
prohibition questions in the address.
With the party platform silent on
prohibition, friends of the governor
here who have been associated with
MIN for years express the belief that
he will not mention it in the speech
Of acceptance, but that with what they
say is characteristic fearlessness, he
will have no hesitation in discussing
the subject in his campaign speeches.
Because of his newspaper training,
the Governor was reported today to
be making fast work Of his address.
But he is exercising great care as in
dicated by composition of a few of
the main subjects in pencil. Length
Of the address was today said to be
still problematical.
SALT LAKE CITY, July 28.-Plans

as to whether he will cooperate with

Labor nominee for president, inform
ed the governor in a telegram today.
The telegram asked for an early re-
ply to one sent by Mr. Christensen
from Denver last week, wherein he
asked the nominees of the Democratic
and Republican parties to join him in
pressing for Debs' release.

CAMP TAYLOR, ARMY
HOME OF MANY BOYS
OF WAYNE, GIVEN UP
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. c., July %. -
Abandonment of Camp Zachary Tay-
lor, at Louisville, KY, was announced
today by the war department with the
notice that the First Division now sta
toned there Is to be transferred to
Camp Dix. N. J.
The property upon which the camp
is located will revert to the private
owners.
LOUISVILLE, KY, July 29.-Camp
Zachary Taylor was completed in the
summer of 1917, at a cost Of $7,500,0OO.
It comprises 1900 acres Of land and
contains $500 buildings. 1t has train
ed 125,000 recruits, including the Saith
division.
1t has held q maximum Of $4,000 and
now contains approximately 1000 Off
GERS and men of the First Division.
Many Richmond and Wayne county
service men, as we'll as those all over
Indiana, will hear of the end of Camp
Taylor as a military post, with more
than passing regret.
They Will recall days and months of
dusty drill, varied by occasional visits
to "Coke's Station" and the Board
walk" as we'll as promenades down
Fourth street, in Louisville.
For more than one parent, Camp
Taylor will be remembered as the
camp to which they were summon ed
for hurried goodby to the son going
overseas, or. especially In the influ-
enza epidemic of 1917-1918, to the
deathbed or sickbed of their sons.
First Drafts Sent There.
The first drafts of Indiana, and parts
of Illinois and Kentucky were sent to
the Kentucky camp in the early fall
of 1917, for training.
The draftees were met by young
officers of the three states, many of
them also from Wayne county, and
were whipped into fighting shape as
the Saith or Lincoln division, by a rig
orous course of training which did not
let up for the severe winter Of 1917
and 1918
This division was sent overseas dur
ing the summer of 1918, but never saw
active service as division. Par. of
its men, however, saw service as, re-
placement units in other divisions.
After the departure of the Saith, the
camp was utilized as a great training
center for young artillery officers, and
what was claimed to be the largest
artillery school in the world, was in
bull blast just before the armistice
The 59th depot brigade, a training
organization which sent thousands of
young men on to the other camps, and
the field. artillery replacement depot,
were other big organizations which
occupied the camp during the later
months of the war. Much of the artil-
lery work was transferred to Camp
Knox, about 20 miles south however

lars has been stationed at Camp Tay-
lor during the last few months
