The Grand Jury Report The report of the grand jury on its investigation into the handling of the smallpox epidemic during the last three months of 1917 tells its own story and places the blame for the mistakes. Little comment is necessary. The scope of the document shows that all phases of the question were investigated, and the conclusions drawn by the jury represent the general opinion of the people. ' It is deplorable that grand juries periodically must Investigata laxity, cupidity and dishonesty in public office. It indicates that too often the proper attention is not paid to public affairs, and that men in public office do not guard the city's money with the same exacting care they devote to their own affairs. The indictments returned against the two physicians puts this issue squarely before the circuit court where it will be decided. One physician haa admitted his guilt, the other will introduce a defense. The condition of the pest house ought to be

remedied at oncj. The grand jury used very conservative language in its condemnation of the institution, if conditions there are as they were depicted in the testimony that went before the jurors. Richmond certainly cannot tolerate these conditions longer. This community owes a duty to citizens who through no fault of their own are exposed to smallpox and forced to go to the pest house. Sanitary improvements at least ought to be provided without delay. A segregation of the sexes must take place. Patients must not be forced to walk through rain and snow to a bench to obtain their meals as if they were tramps to whom the municipality is giving a hand-out. It is apparent that the former board of health and the board of public works were lax in passing on bills incurred at the pest house. If an efficient system of checking other sources of ex

pense is in vogue, there is no reason why this should not have applied to the expenditures of the board of health which cost the city $5,685.95 in 1917 exclusive of salaries. One paragraph of the report places the blame where it belongs : "The City Health Department which was under the supervision of Dr. S. C. Smelser should be held primarily responsible for the improper expenditures, as the other departments based their approval of the claims largely upon the recommendation of the Health Board, However, in many instances the bills were, so glaring that other departments of the city government cannot be excused for their laxity in allowing the amounts. The cost of the Health Department alone reached $5,685.95 for the past year, and this did not include salaries."

this is a capitalists' war the capitalists were in control of the German submarines. Lie No. 3 "America has more to fear from England than from Germany." Answer. The English and German warships in Manila Bay, 1898, Zimmerman's note to Mexico. ' The Kaiser's proposal to England to join him in attacking the Monroe Doctrine. The Kaiser's regrets that Europe had not encouraged the South during the Civil War and his hopes that the East and West might yet be set against each other so that two weak countries might take the place of a single strong pne. "I shall stand no nonsense from America after the war," he said repeatedly to the American ambassador while America and Germany were on terms of peace. But the final answer to this most stupid of all lies is the History of the World since 1911, and in particular the record of relations between the United States and Germany beginning with the 7th of May, 1915. Lie No. 4,-p "Germany wants a just peace and England is preventing it." Answer. Ask the man who tells thi3 lie to state the German terms. Lie No. 5.-r-"The Red Cross is a capitalists' money-making concern. It sold a sweater made y the grandmother of a gyrl who lives on the corner of Washington Street and Wilbur Avenue." Answer. That girl hasn't got any grandmother. Three corner lots at the intersection of Washington Street and Wilbur Avenue are vacant, and the fourth is occupied by a stag hotel. Find another grandmother. Lie No. 6.WIf you have a food conservation card in your window the guv'ment will come and take away all your jellies and preserves and everything else you put up last fall." Answer. Yes; they're for Mr. Rockefeller

He's fond of jellies and preserves and can't afford to buy any. Lie No. 7. "If the allies lost the war, that wouldn't hurt America any. Germany wouldn't try to do anything to America., even if Ameriea were on the losing side." Answer. "My heart bleeds for Louvain." (The Kaiser,) Lies No. 8 to No. 1,263,407; that is, all the other lies. Answer. Find the German who started them.

The Food Administration Says: How you can save animal fats: Use vegetable oils Instead. Use no butter in cooking except leftovers. Save lard by eating less fried foods and try boiling and broiling more. Use all left-over fats in cooking or make soap of them. If every person in America saves one-third of an ounce of animal fat a day, we can ship enough for our soldiers, sailors and Allies.

Answers to Heinle's Nonsense By Booth Tarklngton Lie No. 1. -"This is a capitalists' war be- ; cause the capitalists wanted to keep on making ; money by manufacturing and shipping muni- :' tions, and they forced the Government to declare war in order to protect the boats." Answer. The entrance of the United States ? into the war took from the capitalist his profits and is turning them into labor. Probably there " have been a few food "profiteers" and the like, but they are being dealt with, and the only financial profit from the war accrued to laboring . men. , Lie No. 2. ."This is a capitalists' war be- ' cause the capitalists had bought English bonds : and were afraid the bonds would be worthless if

Germany won." ' Answer: Then, since the "munition capital

ists" lose money by the war, and the capitalists who had bought German bonds would oppose war,

it was a struggle of these two classes of capital-

ists for peace, opposed by those who had bought

English bonds. The latter were incomparably in

the minority and could not have won such a

: struggle even if it had taken place. Of course it ; is also necessary to assume that the capitalists who brought on the war caused the events which caused the American people to declare through their representatives that they were in a state of war with Germany. These events which the : capitalists must have caused were namely, the ; sinking of the "Lusitania" (114 Americans murdered) ; of the "Arabic" (3 Americans murdered); of the "Hesperian" (1 American muri dered) ; of the "Marina" (8 Americans murdered) ; of the "Russian" (17 Americans mur- ; dered); of the "Laconia" (8 Americans murdered) ; of the "Vigilancia" (5 Americans murdered) ; of the "Aztec". (28 Americans raur. dered), and of other sinkings and murders, Jt

Toronto's Treatment of Bryan William Jennings Bryan will find little sympathy in the United States for the affront he received in Toronto last week. Canadian veterans, discharged from the service because of wounds that incapacitate them,. hooted and jeered him to the echo. Efforts of the police to restore order were futile. The veterans resented Bryan's presence because he had been a pacifist. They were acquainted with the sentiments he expressed in the United States before the outbreak of the war and showed their opposition to his tenents in a manner that was vigorous. Bryan had no recourse. He could not deny his pacifist views. Neither could he deny that

acceptance of his views by our national lawmakers ten and even five years ago were responsible for the unpreparedness of our country to wage efffective war against Germany. The United States and Canada now are thoroughly convinced of the necessity of adequate military defenses. That they hoot and cat-call a speaker who formerly taught them pacifist views indicates the extent of their conversion to the preparedness program.

Conquest and Kultur "Each of us must keep himself fit for arms and also prepared in his mind for the great sol emn hour when the Emperor calls us to the standard the hour when we no longer belong to ourselves, but to the fatherland with all the forces of our mind and our body; for all these faculties must be brought to the highest exertion, to that 'will to victory' which has never been without success in history." The Crown Prince, in Deutschland in Waffen, May, 1913.

Camouflaging Ships From the Independent (N. Y.) TF some ancient mariner were to return to one or our Eastern ports these days he would think the shipping

world had gone mad. The submarine has called !

forth the camouflage artist, and the camouflage artist has painted our trans-Atlantic vessels with bizarre designs in all colors ef the rainbow. Imaginative writers used to dwell on the kaleidoscope of shipping in great harbors like New York. The term is thoroughly applicable today, for our harbors are as colorful as operatic pageants. Half of some great ship will be painted a delicata baby blue and the other half

will be an arrangement in great circles and stripes and bands In black, green, yellow and pink. Another vessel will appear dressed in a succession ef waving colors ranging from pink to purple. A steamship no longer resembles a steamship. It looks like a futurist nightmare. There are two rival schools of marine camouflage. One works on the theory of low visibility and the other one strives for bat is called the daizle effect. The low visibility camoufleurs paint the ships In waving lines with the basic light ray tones reds and greens and voiiets with the idea of having the vessels marge with the atmosphere and disappear. The dazzle school goes In for a system ef marvelous designs and colors calculated to confuse tha aim of enemy gunners. Even our battle ships have succumbed to the lure of strange pigmentation. The sober "fighting gray" battle 6hip color Is a thing of the past. Our fighting craft go to their grim business in the war zone made up like a Rus

sia, ballet.

"Have you taken anything for your complaint?" asked the doetor of a long, lank, middle-aged woman who complained of being "all run dewn." "Well, I ain't been taking much of anything, doctor that is, nothing to speak of. I tuk a couple o' bottles o' Pinkham's remedy a while back, an' a mottle of Quaekham's tonic, with a couple o" boxes of Curera's pills, and a lot o' quinine, and some dandelion tea. I've got a mustard plaster on my back, an' a liver pad OP, an' I'm wearing a rheumatiz ring, an' takin' codliver oil four times; a day, an" a dose or two of ginger ev'ry other day. 'Cepting for that I ain't takin' nothing'." A man advertised for a hostler and mentioned that a returned soldier would be preferable. Soon a hardfaced looking felow put in an appearance seeking the job. "Do you smoke?" asked the man. "No," was the reply. "Swear?"

"No." "Are you a member of the Church of England?" Seeing that an answer in the affirmative' was required, the other said he was. But when the man asked, "Are you a total abstainer?" it was too close quarters for the returned hero. "Look 'ere, mister," he said, "strikes me if yer know what yer want. You hadvertised for an 'ostler, but you bloomjn' weil wants a harkangel, that's what yer wants," and he walked away in disgust.

"You should ride a horse." "Can't afford it," said the hensive person.

"But it will give you an appetite." "Perhaps. But it will do the same for the horse."

SAME SPIRIT -IN U. S, AND CANADA

NEW YORK, March 4. Sir Robert Bordep, Premier of Canada, In a statement here tonight regarding bis conference with President Wilson and other government officials in Washington concerning co-ordination of effort in prosecuting the war, declared "the spirit of Car.ada seems to be the spirit of the United States." "The purpose of my visit to Washington," said Sir Robert, "was to discuss with the British Ambassador and the government for the United States the utilization of the resources of the United States and Canada in the most effective way for the common purpose of winning the war. The relation of

conditions affecting production, the most effective employment of natural resources for essential industries and ether matters of a kindred nature were considered. "The reception accorded to the Acting Minister of Finance, the Hon. A. K. McLean, and myself was most cordial. The discussions which took place were very intimate and interesting, and we have a very warm appreciation of the attitude of the United States In its manifest desire to co-operate with us in every reasonable way." Regarding the affront to William Jennings Bryan at a prohibition massmeeting at Toronto last night, when the Nebraskan was hissed and prevented speaking by returned soldiers, Sir Robert said: "I observed with deepest regret the occurrence at Toronto, but was very

glad to note that it was due to various small portions of the audience. Doubtless the incident arose out of a misunderstanding."
