WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—Not the
least important feature of the work
#AOf development in the Southern and
Southwestern States is the improve
ment of health conditions in certain
parts of that section. Notable prog
ress has been made in this work
through the co-operation of federal,
State and local authorities. The re
sults of the activities of the United
States public health service and other
authorities and organizations inter
ested in this matter have been very
gratifying, according to government
reports.
The area covered by the health an
thorities in the anti-malaria work
during the year was ten times greater
than that in the Panama Canal zone
with which the health experts of theg
govérnment dealt in wiping out dis
ease and its causes. The death rate
from all causes in the areas referred
t 0 went way down.
Organizations interested in the de
wélopment of the South and South
‘west will, it is understood, co-operate
with the Rockefeller Foundation and
the United States public health serv
ice in the general fight that has been
begun against the malaria mosquito.
_ Where it still remains in that sec
‘a)n one or two sanitary engineers
ill be sent into each State which
contributes. funds toward carrying on
the battle.
The federal health officers are as
sisting in the building up of adequate
health organizations in many coun
ties, After the organizations are cre
ated and instructed, they are left to
work out their own salvation, and re.
ports indicate that they are doing it
satisfactorily.
Rural sanitation is another branch
of the government work. This work,
which is largely along lines of in
struction and advice, has yielded re
sults in reducing the hookworm dis
ease as well as typhoid and other dis
eases,
Government, State and local offi
ecials are being assisted in their ef
forts to improve health conditions by
local chambers of commerce and
'State organizations. Many land own.

for some tiime in a campaign 6

bringing about the draining of wet
lands and the treatment of areas
where the mosquito breeds. The re
sult is reported to have been a de

L. C. Walker, the cotton erop in this

He reports one man who has thirty
acres in cotton with prospects very
gcod for one bale while another one
who has thirty-five acres will prob

There are a few who will do some
better than this but there are many
who will not and quite a good many
who will not do so well. There were

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.--Con
stantinople, center of the world’s ‘in
trigue for centuries, now is proposed
as the best place for the trial of
German leaders responsible for the
world war.
All allied capitalg have been sug
gested for the trial of the perpeéetra
tors of the war. There has been no
enthusiasm in any capital over the
trial,
News that General Liman von San
ders, Hun military commander in
Turkey, had arrived at Venice, Italy,
on a British warship as a prisoner
of war, led to speculation in diplo
matic circles here as to the possi
bility of the greatest trial in history
being held in the Turkish capital.
Allied diplomats have been loathe
to discpyss the scene of for the pro
posed trial of the former kaiser and
his associates. It was believed here
that the trip of Gen, Von S:nadvr:" to
Venice may be the first intimation
that Constantinople is to be selected
for the trial of the German war ™ in
gtigators,
Italy, too, was mentioned here as
the possible scene of the trial. Of
all allied capitals, Rome has been
least mentioned as the possible base
of the war trial. Though there was
no officlal information available, it
was said unofficially that either Rome
or Constantinople might be selected
for the trial of Germans responsible
for the war.

France for a time, but when his
father was made a brigadier gen

Young Vanderbilt once was
quoted as saying that he admired
newspaper men, because when he
was in the army he always noticed
that any duty calling for initiative
and resource was usually given to
a former newspaper man,
‘Whether he can display sufficient
initiative and resource to live on a
“cub reporter's” wages, without
taking money from home, is now
the problem of the day.
