WILL FIGHT FEVER
Secretary McAdoo announces that
the United States Public Health
Service of the treasury department
has practically completed plans for
preventing malaria among soldiers
at camps and cantonments during
'the coming spring and summer. In
a zone from 1 to 2 miles wide
around 20 or more camps in the
South every known effective method
of eradicating the disease will be
employed under the supervision of
experts. In the camps themselves'
the army authorities will control
the disease.
^ In the past the Public Health Ser
vice has supervised demonstrations
which have proved beyond question
that its methods are effective. They
are similar to those which made pos
sible the building of the Panama
■ canal by eradicating the yelk
fever mosquito.
The Malaria-Carrying Mosquito
It is well known that malaria
carried from person to person on
by a certain variety of mosquit
known as the Anopheles. Measur
against the disease are thereto
designed either to eradicate th
variety of mosquito or to prevei
persons from infecting them or b
infected by them. As other vari
ties of mosquitos will incidentally 1
eradicated, not only will malaria 1
prevented but the mosquito as
pest will be driven from the vicinii
of the camps.
At each camp where there is dai
ger of malaria an expert, probably
sanitary engineer, will be in chars
of the malaria operations. He wi
be supervised by Public Health Se
vice experts who know malaria pr,
vention to the ground.
Area to Be Surveyed.
The plans contemplate a survey c
the area around the camps. Th

IS GIVEN VERDICT
! Jury Decide, Officials Did Not
Discriminate Against Uniform
of Army.
Claiming that they had been re
fused admission to a smoker given
by the Alaska Labor Union, at An
chorage. several enlisted men of the
Fourteenth infantry recently filed
f
e
an action against the officials of
the union, charging that they had
discriminiated against the uniform
of the United States army. The
union officers named in the com
plaint were President Edward
Christensen and Secretary Jack
Sutherland.
The case was tried before a jury
j and decided in favor of the defend
j ants, whose defense was that a
smoker had been given for members
of the union only and that there
had been no discrimination against
the uniform. The evidence did not
j establish that any soldiers had ap
j plied to either of the defendants
i for admission.

Exclusively Territorial Organization
Is Planned of Founders of
Union.
Plans for an all-Alaskan union
were outlined and temporary officers
chosen at a largely atended meeting
of working men held recently at
Juneau. F. B. Harrison was elected
chairman of the organization and 0.
Enge. secretary, to hold office until
a permanent organization is per
fected.
Several speeches were made b;
■ those present, all urging the high
est degree of patriotism on the mei
and also urging them to be reason
| able and work with capital instead
j of against it. Sam Mandle. of An
' chorage. was present and outlined
! the work followed by the Anchorage
| Association, where the men are or
ganized and where they are entirely
independent from any Outside union.
“At Anchorage the association >s
composed entirely of the working
| men. but we are not conected with
I any Outside federation. We are ut
terly opposed to any I. W. W. propo
|ganda or agitation and none of that
I is tolerated. If we have any griev
ance we appoint a committee which
waits on those in charge of the work
and we state our troubles. They art
generally adjusted to the satisfac
tion of all concerned without any
trouble. Since the first strike two
years ago over the wage question,
there has been no labor trouble, or
talk of labor trouble in the An
chorage section." he said in part.
Senator O. P. Hubbard. Senator
Frank Aldrich and Bob Oliver, all
addressed the meeting, as did also
District Attorney J. A. Smiser, who
gave it as his unofficial opinion that
the eight-hour law was a valid one.
The committee appointed by the
first mass meeting to present the
case of the workingmen at the eight
hour hearing reported and a vote
of thanks was tendered them for
their trouble.
[OSES SON IN WAR
SEEKS REVENGE
Lueiene Milvoe, the famous
French politician, whose son has
fallen in battle, publishes this thrill
ing malediction against the Germans: i
“My son, my Henri, my joy. my
pride, has fallen by German bullets
and I shall live in a halo of glory
which this young hero has cast
about my name. By that spot of
earth where the valiant dead re
poses I take this oath of death to j
the crowned bandits who govern
Germany—aye, and to all Germans.
“The blood is already up to their
knees. Soon it will reach their
throats and stifle them. We shall
give no truce. Humanity can breathe
again only after their undoing and
when their kingdoms rock beneath
them.
“Then, upon the pile of corpses
of millions of victims, we will cast
the base of German carrion for vul
tures' food. Then mothers shall
again have the right to bring forth
children.”
Jack Bishop and wife, former
residents of the Ruby district, are
now conducting a grocery store in
Seattle.
