The history of the outbreak of small
pox in Charles county as we'll as II has
been possible to trace its source,
starts with visit to Washington made
by a colored man living near New
port, around the first week in Febru-
AIRY of this year. In due course of
time this man developed an eruption,
without, however showing other Sc
we're symptoms, following along the
lines OF so many cases seen previously
in Charles and st. Mary's counties
the last two years.
The case was not recognized as
smallpox at the time and from this
case two others are known to have
been infected. One, a young colored
woman, now in the Washington SMALL
pox hospital, the other colored man
living between Newport and Wicomi-
co. Another case is under suspicion
ard is being fully watched and quar-
antined.
1t is reported that there are around
thirty cases now in Washington and a
late report states that another young
colored woman, whose parents live in
Charles county, is now in the deten-
ton hospital, under suspicion.
None of the persons infected have
ever been vaccinated, and the health
officers of the county have already
vaccinated over 100 adults and chill
dren, white and colored, also lacking
this protection.
This vaccination will be continued
and ID is gratifying indeed that SO
many have become interested and APP
piled for vaccination.
DR.. Fort, State health officer, will be
at Wicomico, Saturday of this week
and all nearby residents are urged to
come to him for this purpose.
DR.. Jameson, at Newport, is pre-
pared to take care OF applicants az his

FACTIONS IN CHINA
BATTLE TO A DRAW
Troops Estimated at 10000
Fight Throughout Day With
out Material Results.

Shanghai-Though trops estimated
to number 10000 have been battling
near here, competent eye-witnesses
declared that neither side had made
any material gain in the fighting.
The battle front extended from the
line of the Shanghai-Nanking Rail-
way to the Yangtse River, about Is
miles from Shanghai at its nearest
point, and about rs miles at the most
distant.
Lungwha headquarters OF the Chi
kiang troops, defending Shanghai,
claimed gains in the Hwangtu sector,
on the railway, and in the Liuho Sec
tor, on the coast. Both sides report
ed that they had added reinforce
ments to their fighting forces.
When the Kiangsu troops opened
their attack only about 1000 defend
ers were holding the Chekiang lines.
Irucps were pressed into service to
rush troops and ammunition to the
front.
All day long the shells whistled
overhead. Several of them passed
through the hospital building. An
American correspondent obtained an
automobile truck, and by using the
truck and his automobile, managed
to remove the patients, together with
the American women, to safety in
Shanghai The rain of bullets con-
tinued, however, while the escape
from the hospital was effected.
Two American women remained in
Liuho during the bombardment. They
were Miss Grace l. Crandall wom-
an physician, and Miss Susie M. Bur
dick, who were in charge of the Sew
enth Day Baptist Mission Hospital
there.
When the firing begun the Red
Cross unit from Shanghai retreated
IL miles to the village of Luti, but
Miss Crandall and Mis- Burdick re-
fused to abandon the patients in the
hospital who were not war casualties.
Conscription of both men and wom-
en- workers for war work was report
ed continuing In many sections Of the
Chinese territory adjacent to Shang-
hal.
