Many . large country villages also have no' sys- tem, and the conditions are” /most unsatisfactory. These places do not bother about it; they seem content to. 20 on in their own “sweet way.”” They will not hear of any scheme. Those ] respopstble look upon themselves as; economists; yet thelr economy {8 but false, and their intefest a “pocket one,”, the welfare and wellbeing of the ‘people being the last consideras tion. A pure and-efficlent water supe ply is another essential for.all places, yet we have many small towns and villages without it. ‘Water 18 taken from defective and {mpure sources, while wells arb close to cesspools and draipage from cattle yards, and other fouled surfaces have access to them. This 18 often due to the faulty’ con- struction of the well or cesspool. What appears to have happened i8 this-~two- holes were dug, and lned with}dry- 1ald bricks, one being called: the:well and the other the cesspool. Can we wonder at disease being rampant? We also find-the water supply taken from an open pond, full of mud and growth, and often a drain pipe discharging its eontents- into it. Many small towns' and -villages view -with disfavor:and are up in arms if an efficient system of: sewers, sewage disposal, or wa- .ter supply is suggested.. They will tell you that their-arrangements have suf- ficed. for the past and ‘no'ill results have occurred; the inhabitants, they say, llve as long as they Hke; and yet facts prove otherwise. In places where proper systems have: been in- stalled the death rate is lowered; in< fantile mortality reduced, infectious disease ‘eradicated, or nearly so, and the general - health - bettered.—From A RATES -mlourno: s .%‘ ou_ym...................u.uo lfl . .8ix months ... vese 200 Threa months . sses 100 vages, Y i of the week.

There is no excuse under the sun for the bombing of hos- pitals even in war time. But it has repeitedly been done during| the present war by the Hun.. When called to task for this brutal disregard of all the rules of war and mercy, the German high command has attempted to excuse such actions by complaining that the hospitals were located too close to the front line and the bombing was merely ‘“‘incidental.” The public safety commission .calls attention to the recent ‘ attack in force on a group of hospital buildings located far be- hind the British lines, plainly marked. Twenty German planes bombed this place of mercy, all evidence .indicating that the raid was carefully planned. It far surpasses all of the Hung’ previous performancse of frightfulness. 3 : ] k The Hun mo longer apologizes and he no longer pleads “military necessity” as his excuse for the slaughter of the help- less. He glories in hig guilt. " The “Stars and Stripes,” the offi¢ial paper of our forces in France, prints the following comment on the. above occur- rence in a recent issue: . hy “Fatuous people who still believe, in the face of such proof as this, that a negotiated peace with .+ “liberal”- Germany is within the range of probability g ought to be led quietly by the hand and placed in a retreat for the feeble-minded. There is.only one way to deal with the Hun. Thank God we have learned that way!” 5 : - 0: REPORT OF .AIRPLANE DELAY.
