WAR ON ANARCHISTS.
VIENNA, June 29.—The Austrian
Government declared war on anar
chists to-day as a result of the as
sassination of Archduke Francis Fer- |
dinand, heir apparent to the Austro-
Hungarian throne, and his morga
natic wife, the Duchess of Hohen
berg, in Sarajevo yesterday. Many
arrests were made in this and other
cities throughout Austria, and the
Government secret police and the
military authorities maintained the
strictest precautions.
Emperor Francis Joseph, accompa
r-ied by his suite, arrived here at noon
from Ischl, and at once took into his
own hands the direction of affairs.
Austria has been plunged into the
deepest gloom by the assassination of
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, who
was popular with the people. Flags
were at halfmast, public functions
were canceled, and Government
buildings were draped in black and
closed. The court probably will go
into mourning for a year.
New Heir Condoles M_narch.
The attention of Europe now cen
ters upon the new heir to the Aus
trian throne, Archduke Charles Fran
cis Joseph, the 27-year-old son of
Archduke Otto, who came to Vienna
with his wife to condole with the
aged, grief-stricken monarch.
Official announcement of the assas
sination of Archduke Francis Ferdi
nand was made in the court Gazette
to-day. An unofficial sheet, attached
10 the Gazette, announced the death
of the Duchess of Hohenberg. Sep-.
arate announcements were made be
cause of the difference in rank of the
two victims. |
The bodies of the Archduke Francis
Ferdinand and his will be brought to
this city to-morrow. Burial will be |
made at Amsteeten, in Lower Austria.‘
The streets were filled to-day with
silent, reverent crowds. A densel
throng congregated at the Schoen
brun Castle and cried “Long live the‘
Emperor,”™ as Francis Joseph entered

" RATE OF STATE
r |
Thousands of Lives Are Lost by
Preventable Diseases in Geor
gia Every Year. j
MONETARY LOSS IS GREAT
Allen Measure, Now Before the
Legislature, Will Correct This
Evil, Say Health Experts. |
if the Angel of Death swept over
Georgia in one night and took the
first born of each family, lamenia
tions would rise as they did from the
Egyptians in the days of Moses; yet,
unrecorded and unnoticed by the pe6-
' ple as a whole, 16,000 persons, many
of them in the prime of productivity
and usefulness, die from preventable
diseases in Georgia every year, en
tailing a loss to t he State of $40,000,.
000 annually in wealth, or more than
$l5 for each man, woman and chiid —
white and black—lliving within its
boundaries. This is the statement of
fact made by the brief in supporl of
the public health bill now before the
Legislature for consideration.
These startling figures are declared
‘approximately correct, or as near.y
correct as it is possible for them o
‘be with no vits! statistics recorded in
‘Georgia. The information is taken
from the United States Census of
1910, and, therefore, is not up to date,
which faect proves the need of a vital
staitstics law in Georgia. To supply
this need a vital statistics bill 18
pending in the Legislature, being
properly considered a necessary ad
junct to the public health bill. The
one seeks to secure the information
and the other to provide means for
stopping death and loss of wealth
from preventable diseases.
~ Only State Without Law.
Without considering the humanita
rian side of the question of the pre
vention of disease; with no account
taken of the pain, the grief, the wid
ows and the orphans; but measuring
life in dollars alone, the loss to Geyr
gia from diseases that could readily
be prevented through the information
given by a vital statistics law and a
State-wide system of inspection and
‘sanitation, as provided for in the Al
len vital statistics bill and the Ellis
public health bill, is appalling.
Georgia is now the only State with
out a vital statistics law., Informa
tion as to births and deaths in Geor
gia can only be estimated and aver
aged by using the figures from other
States that are in what is known as
the “registration area.” Accordingto
the figures obtained by this method
from the census of 1910, the number
of deaths in Georgia in 1910 from
preventable disease was 16,437, but
that estimate is undoubtedly too low,
for the States included in the “regis
tration area” have greatly lessened
the loss of Jife and wealth from pre
ventable diseases, and Georgia's death
rate and loss of wealth unquestion
ably is higher than in those Stdates
that have taken steps to prevent dis
ease.
The Raoul Foundation for the Pre
vention of Tuberculosis, founded: (o
fight tuberculosis in Georgia, =avs
that, from the best information it can
get, the average death rate from that
one disease in Georgia is 180 per 100,-
000 of population, or 5300 per an
num. The idea is prevalent that the
death rate from tuberculosis is much
higher in Northern States than in
Georgi&_ Ay e -
Rate Cut Elsewhere.
The census shows that the rale
per 100,000 population in Massacnu
setts is 153.8, New York 177.7, Michi
gan 96.1, Wisconsin 106.8, Kentucky
229.3 and North Carolina 256.8. Mas
sachusetts and several other INorth
ern States have reduced the death
rate from tuberculosis during the last
few years at least 50 per cent.
The loss of efficiency and produc
tiveness due to hookworm, the loss of
life from such preventable diseases as
typhoid fever, malaria, diphtheria,
whooping cough, c¢roup and smallpox
in Georgia every vear runs into start.
ling totals.
The people of Georgia work ear
nestly to prevent diseases among
hogs, cattle and plant life; stations
are established by the Government to
manufacture and furnish serum. to
prevent cholera in hogs; much time
and money are spent in efforts to
eradicate the cattle tick; frantic ex
periments are made to find something
that will destroy the boll weevil—all
of which are necessary and commend -
‘able objects. Yet, the people of Geor
gia have made no provision of law
‘under which effective work can be
done to lessen mortality among in
fants or adults.
The officers of the Georgia Cham
ber of Commerce, which is heartily
in favor of the passage of a vital sta.
tistics bill and a public health bill,
state that they are confident the peo
ple of Georgia, when fully aware of
the great need for the conservation
of the most valuabie assets of all—
human life—-will insure the passagze
of these laws by urging their Repre
sentatives to work and vote for them
