Scarlet Fever ... Outbreak Here
 Reported Mild

Dr. John A. Carswell, Territorial epidemiologist. stated today from the Territorial department of Health that the present attack of scarlet fever in Juneau is mild and in the majority of instances has affected children under ten years of age.
 Tn many cases a child may suf- fer from severe sore throat when no rash will be noticeable and it is important that the family physi- clan should be called for diagnosis in such instances.
 Tt has not been possible to trace the source of infection in every instance for the cases re- ported in Juneau to. date, but it is the feeling of the Department of Health that carriers of the strep- tococcus germs are responsible for acute sore threats and even scarlet fever in children"
 Ben L. Grimes, Public Health Engineer, and Dr, Carswell have the milk of the Juneau Diaries and have excluded milk as a possible source for the present outbreak Workers in the dairy were also subject to examination.

 However, the United States could not keep legation in Vienna if Austria ceased to be an independent nation. It would be necessary to change to a consulate which would give practical though indirect rec- cgnition to the fact that change had taken place in Austrias status.
