EPIDEMIC HERE THOUGHT ENDED No New Cases Reported: Reactors Herds Eliminated Dr. R. E. Daniels, secretary of the city board of health, today sta.ted that he and other members of the board believed the paratyphoid and nndulant fever epidemic had wasted itaelf. No new cases have been reported recently. in the matter of boiling milk. Dr. Daniels stated that it was optional with tlie individual a.s the board stated, "the sources of contamination have existed for years." The hoard did not find any human carrier of the fever gertn and ‘‘positive reactors among suspicious herds of cattle ha.ve been eliminated.” The Ixtard recommends immunization as a safeguard against picking up the fever. The statement of the hoard, issued by Dr. Daniels, Dr. G. J. Kohne and Mrs. Paul Graha.tn. follows: 1. Milk handiem have been found to be free of the bacillus of para-typhoid fever. 2. Positive reactors among suspicious herds have been eliminated. 3. By accumulated evidence it is believed that the status of the loca.l milk supply is as nearly nor mal as present methods of control can make it. 4. Undoubtedly there are sources of contamination in the community above and beyond rhe milk source. These sources are difficult, if not impossible to locate, and have existed for an incalculable number of yeaj's. 5. The local health board urges most sincerely that the public avail itself of the much neglected procedure of typhoid and paratyphoid immunization. This can be done over a period of three weeks at a minimum cost of three dollars per person. Immunization is the absolute protection against unknown and uncontrollable hazards. BANQUET.

BELGIUM JOINS ISOLATIONIST NATIONS TODAY For Belgium Only; Is Severe Blow To French Hopes Os Peace ! (Copyright 1936 by United Press) Paris, Oct. 15 —(UP)— France suffered a serious diplomatic defeat »oday an ( i Germany a victory when Belgium, key to Western Europe as it was in 1914, joined the isolajtionist nations and concentrated its ' foreign polcy on preserving its neutrality in any war. 1 Complicating a foreign situation already causing anxiety in Europe's capitals, it brought nearer the cer- ' tainty of a diplomatic realignment which at best could only deter a war and might bring one measurably ' near. Young King Leopolds announcement of a foreign policy “exclusively and wholly Belgian” implied denunciation of the traditional BelI gian French military alliance, caused abandonment of any hope here for a successful Locarno treaty conference. and faced the government with the apparent urgent necescity for pouring new millions of dollars into the maginot line of forth cations facing Germany. The announcement, made before a . council of ministers in Brussels, reached the government, as a body blow, not through diplomatic channels. softened by warning, but as a surprise through news agencies. It seemed to end France’s hope of broad regional alliances among groups ot neighbor nations tor self protection against any aggressor; it seemed to strengthen greatly Germany’s idea of direct treaties between nations, one nation with another nation. It seemed to end hope for a substitute for theLocarno treaty, guar- ’ anteeing the peace of the western powers; it weakned the French frontier and it was a most serious blow to French prestige, already , challenged in the Balkans by Italy. But more seriously, it came when Russia, France's new ally east of I Germany, was complicating the situation by demanding an end of the I agreement for non-intervention in the Spanish civil war unless alleged aid to the Spanish insurgents by ’ Italy. Germany, and portugal were stopped. This treaty was negotiated at France’s insistence, because the government believed the fascist powers were ai ming the insurgents and feared that an international clash might result. Frane’s relations with Russia have not been bettered by the failure of French delegates at London . to support Russia in its charges | (CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR) Sunday School Rally At Mt.

KING'S FRIEND SEEKS DIVORCE Mrs. Simpson Files For Divorce; Not To Marry King London. Oct. 15 — (U.R) ■— Mrs. Ernest Simpson, friend of King ' Edward VIII, l.as filed suit for divorce but not, her friends insisted emphatically today, with any idea that she might some day marry the king. Papers, in the suit of “W. Simpson" agajnst "E. Simpson" were being prepared today in the assize court at Ipswich, and in about two weeks the court probably wil! dissolve the marriage of Ernest 'Simpson, Harvard graduate, and ' the former Miss Wallis Warfield of Baltimore. British newspapers ignored the news of the suit out of deference II to the king and in compliance with the law against printing de- . tails of divorce cases. Rut in i fashionable Mayfair, and as 'he ; news circtilajed down through 1 servants to tradesmen and the ■ public, the question was asked at i cnee: What change will the divorce bring in tlie companionship ■ of the king and the vivacious . Mrs. Simpson, already once divorced. , The answer came from sources .(VONTU4UBX' ON PAGB FIVE).

Rebels Inflict Series Os Defeats On Loyalists; Counter-Offensive By Lloyals Routed. NEARING MADRID (Copyright 1936 by United Press) Gibraltar, Oct. 15 —(U.R)— Spanish Nationalists, smashing with terrific force, inflicted on the troops of the left wing government today a series of defeats that threatened to become a rout. A leftist (loyalist 1 counteroffensive on the front west of Madrid was turned into a retreaj which dispatches from Madrid itself indicated was disorderly. Fearing that the nationalists might soon be, at the city’s gates, the leftist government urgently intensified the building of fortifications in the suburbs. Insurgent dispatches asserted that by the cajitaure of two small towns in the Cordoba region, they had cut off completely the capital’s supply of coal, needed not only to heat homes during the present cold weather but to operate essential defense works. It was indicated that the insurgents had resumed aerial bombardment of the Madrid-east coast railroad and that at any moment the government might find itself cut oft'- except for automobile and air transport to the coast. It was persistently reported that nationalist troops sent to relieve the besieged garrison a.t Oviedo had effected contact with the defenders and must soon penetrate the city streets and be fighting hand to hand the miners trying to overwhelm the garrison. Hints that the Loyagain (leftist) towns on the east coast were : to be bombarded by the I rebel fleet ronfinued i Madrid admitted a severe aerial | bombardment of Malaga yester- ' day. One bomb ignited a gasoline I tank and another, it was asserted, i fell on a German freighter in the harbor, but did not ex,plode. The position of the Madrid government at the moment was perhaps the most serious since tlie start of the civil war three months ! ago. • Only yeeterday. there were high hopes of a great offensive by the leftist troops on (lie west Masi rid front. These were blasted. The troops who went westward yesterday were seen by a United Press correspondent pouring back from : the front, in retreat. Unless the nationalists —as the leftists have hoped—prove to have extended their lines too far. and their present attack west of the capital was stopped quickly, the siege ot Madrid would be on in fact. A brief United Press dispatch from Salamanca revealed that the nationalist high command after a series of conferences completed its entire plan for the capture of Madrid. It was estimated that th prP (CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE) O PRE-HALLOWEEN DAMAGE CAUSED Police Warn Against Pranks; Arrests Will Be Made Chief of Peolice Sephus Melchl issued a warning today against all premature Halloween celebrations.
