PEACE PACT
FOR EUROPE
SATISFIED j. 5.

CONTINUED From First Page)
come, a party 10 peace arrange
ment in Europe similar to the four
power Pacific pact. Such models
drawn from the Pacific treaty were
suggested by President Harding in
his message TO Congress and 1t is
possible the Executive had some
such step as the German proposal
in mind.
Germany's plan contemplated two
treaties as follows:
1. A treaty between Great Britain.
France. Germany, Italy and Belgium
to protect the peace OF Europe for a
generation. or at least thirty years
by undertaking an obligation not to
go to war unless a referendum vote
OF their respective peoples so de-
cided.
?. Another treaty to which the
United States would have been
party as a moral guardian OF the
peace Of the Rhine whereby the DOW
ers named above would have SOL
EMMY reaffirmed to the United
States the obligation taken in tho
first treaty not to embark on another
war unless a plesiscite of their peo-
pie decided in favor OF that course.
The proposed position of the United
states under this treaty as the guard
Ian of the peace of Europe was en-
templated purely as a moral ore.
There was 10 be no need for Ameri-
can troops or displays of force. For
OF course, had there been any such
proposed obligation this government
would not have been so favorable to
participation in the project.

Open WAR ON
"MARINEBORER"
Local u. S. Engineer Would
Save Harbor Timber
From Insect
NO EVIDENCE OF
PEST IN STATE

A nationwide campaign against
destructive insect known as the
marine borer," is being psrticipat-
ed in by the L. s Engineer once
for the Wilmington District. Colonel
Earl I. Brown, commanding.
The marine borer attacks timber
structures in harbors and ports and
its depredations on the Pacific Coast
has become so serious that the Ma
tional Research Council has organ
lied a war against it extending from
ocean to ocean. At the engineer Of
fee Sixth and King streets, Colonel
Brown said today:
Thus far the ravages OF the
borer have not been sufficiently
severe on the Atlantic Coast to war
rant drastic measures We are.
however, assisting the National Re
search Council in its efforts to de-
termine more definitely the habits
of the insect with a view OF check
ing its work and ultimately eliminat-
ing the pest.
ITO learn more OF the insect we
have placed test boards al Delaware
Breakwater and AT Atlantic City.
Each board contains twelve wooden
blocks all of which are submerged
Each month one of the blocks f.
sent to the Research Council for
examination. The blocks are sent
in regular order so that a record can
be made not only Of the damage il
any is done to them by the borers,
but the time of year the damage was
committed. As new block is
substituted for each OF those sent to
the Council, the record is a continu-
Gus one. For one thing We have
learned that the borers usually come
in waves
I'VE also have equipped all the
lighthouse stations along the De'a-
ware with similar test blocks. As
he borer does not thrive well in tidal
waters. where fresh water is contin-
lally mixing with salt. we do not
anticipate much evidence Of is pres
ence in the Delaware"
For the reason last assigned by
Colonel Brown no particular damage
o the new Marine Terminal quay

new WARMING
AGAINST GRIP"
Health Board, However,
Not Alarmed Over Spread
of Disease
WOULD ISOLATE
COLD SUFFERERS

Reports received by the Board Of
Health indicate that there is a large
number of cases Of influenza, or
grip" and infectious colds in the
city. Both Intestinal and respiratory
types of influenza have been reported.
but in such mild form as not TO cause
alarm. Some physicians. though ad-
hitting they have many calls for
treatment of influenza. in some in
stances an entire family being under
treatment, few of the cases are be-
ing reported to the Board Of Health.
The danger of grip" lies in the
fact that it may develop into pneu-
monia. Patients suffering with 1t are
easy subjects to the more serious dis
ease owing to their weakened phys
zeal condition.
DIR. c. NJ. Handy, president Of the
Board of Health. has issued the fol-
lowing warning in view of the rap
id increase in influenza. or grip
and so called colds" which in many
cases develop into the worst type
of the grip" or pneumonia result
ing in the death OF the patient with
in a few days from the time the dis
ease Is contracted.
1T is common experience 10
find multiple cases Of acute catar-
rhal affections of the upper respIra-
tory tract among employees in the
same office. factory and store where
contact cannot be avoided. Tnis Is
particularly true during cold weather
when there is a tendency on the part
of many to close the windows ana
turn on the heat, producing condl-
lions which are very favorable 20
the spread Of these apparently minor
infections.
The use OF public telephones by
persons with colds Increases the
of spreading the infection to
others. Hands contaminated by
soiled handkerchiefs are also
agencies for spreading infection.
From a standpoint of common
sense persons with colds should
refrain from mingling with their CO.
workers in offices and elsewhere.
will perform valuable
service to their own workers by re-
1uesting employees with colds to re-
main at home until the acute symp-
.oms have subsidized. Prompt action /
in this respect will prevent the |
spread OF infection not only among /!
persons in the same establishment |
out will minimize the danger OF gem !
,ral dissemination of colds in street
,ars. which are generally used in the 7.
OF workers 10 and 1
rom the place OF employment. From !
an economic standpoint employers |
will find that absence from employ /
nent because OF respiratory diseases |
will be less among employees where /
his practice Of Immediate Isolation I
s rigidly carried out.
Telephone mOuthpieces should be r
lept cRan, while booths should be
thoroughly ventilated by keeping the
loors open when not in use. one Of
he principal agencies in preventing
Infectious colds is fresh air. All Of
ices. workshops. schools and indoor
ssemblies should be constantly ven
Hated. During the lunch period Of
ices and workrooms should have
he windows lowered to renew the
circulation.
