WILL RID CAMP OP MAT, ART A
Tie war council of the Ameri
can Red Gross has appropriated
$10,000 to free the Columbia, S.
C. cantonment and Its immediate vi
cinity from malaria.
T»is sanitary undertaking for
the benefit of men of the new Army
who are ordered to Columbia for
their training illustrates what the
R«d Cross is arranging to do at
other cantonments the country
over, even in the vicinity of camps
where malaria is not prevalent. At
Columbia the Red Cross representa
tives are working in close coopera
tion "vith the South Carolina Board
,of Health and with the Public
Health Service. Around the Col
umbia cantonment will be created a
1-mile zone free from the only
species of mosquito guilty ag a
carrier of malaria, the anopheles,
# "field" mosquito, jvhich breeds
in marshes, pools, and "slow-flowing
etreams. The Panama experience
of American medical officers is the
basis of the present war against
the malaria-carrying mosquito
wherever Army training camps are
being established. ^

Yet with, all our< wariUt^f environ

the war on the 6hip; and what lit
tle news w© get is scarcely read
i>y the boys. 1 know I never read
the dispatches about Haig's advanc

Hindenberg's strategy^ retreats) to
victory. I am far more interested
in such important questions ae our
next port or call, our chances for
getting reimbursed for the money
we have spent on outfitting our
selves, and the location of the
man who is to relieve us on a night
watch. Besides, the news we get
is go poorly written up and ia ifa
such miserable form, that it is not
worth while, anyway. 1 have for
gotten what a newspaper looks
like, and 1 haven't had time to
read a magazine since the Dead Sea
was sick. .
1 have had gome of the f Jiest) af
ternoons 1 ever spent, on shore this
past week. Had one two-hour auto
mobile ride about this great city
with four others, including George
W. and several good meals of steak
eggs, and chicken, wtfth some! ofl the
finest coffee and icecream I ever
ate. 1 have the local recipe for
vanilla ice cream which I am sav
ing. I have no expectations of
getting as fine coffee in Seattle, as
I know it can't be done, but I
shall certainly have some remem
brance of its taste to talk about.
GIRL "SAMMY" SENT HOME.

looUli:^ ultra feminine young matron,
Mr.;. Hazel li:.i't.-cr Carter, "the j,irl
who nearly gut into the trenches," has
returned to her home at Douglas, Ariz.
Mrs. Carter, v.-hn smuggled herself
aboard n transport with her husband.
Corporal John Carter of an infantry
command, was sent buck on a trans
port which arrived ut an Atlantic port
several days ago.
"1 nearly pot avwy with belnj a sol
dier." she lat'rl.od. "I mnrchod aboard
the troon train at Don.*rlas without my
husband's knowledge and pot to the
port from which we sailed without being
detected. If 1 hadn't raised my voice
when uu officer was around they might
not have found me out ut alL It was
very pleasant, but tame on tho trans
port. We didn't see n single subma
rine. They would not let me land.
But from the deck I could seo the
camps of the American soldiers. I
begged them to let me stay over there
as a nurse, but they refused, and so
here I am back again."
Mrs. Carter insisted that her hus
baud knew nothing of her acts until
the troop train was near Chicago.
Then, sLe said, he wanted her to re
turn homo. But she kept out of his
sight. she declared, until she was
aboard ship and tho vessel was a day
or two from port. Dispatches from
Douglas, however, say her husband
got the uniform and rehearsed her two
weeks In the manual of arms. Tho
dispatches added that other soldiers of
Corporal Carter's regiment knew of
her presence. The husband's stripes
were tnkrn from him on shipboard,
Mrs. Carter said.

TEACHERS HAVE THEIR
DUTIES DURING WAR
The duty of the American school
teacher during the tfime oX war—to
sorea4 among the people Bound in
formation on tbQ causes and the
purposes of tbe war and to aid every
one in doing his part ia the con
flict—was presented to the students
of the summer session of the Uni
versity of Washington recently by
Robert J. Aley, president of the
University; of Maine and p»st presi
dent of the National Education as
sociation.
If the school system of America is
to ba a more efficient ally with
democracy, the speaker) declared that
the schools must create in the
youth of the land a greater rever
ence and respect for tine law, culti
vate clearer and more logical think
ing on the part of the students and
produce in the school population, a
greater faith in the ideals upon
which this country is founded. The
great problem of democracy he de
fined as the co-ordination of the
tendency toward indiWdualsim with
the need for greater co-operation. )

LIBRARIES FOR SOLD1EKS
Plans to provide libraries, both
buildings and books, lor the sol
diers at the cantonments and train
ing camps were discussed at a
series oI meetings of representatives
of the American Library Associa
tion from tUe Last and South, and
a campaign was started to raise at
least $1,000,000 lor the oamp li
brary fund. This was ins trusted
to the American Library Association
by the committee on training camp
activities, in co-operation Kith the
War Department, and will be in di
rect charge ol the committee on
oamp libraries, of which S, I. Wyer,
jr., director ol the New York State
Ubi^ry, is chairman.
From reports presented at the
various sessions, it apperaed that
books had been proved to be the
best antidotes or preventives lor the
evils ol drinking and gambling, and
also that approximately 99 per Cent
ol the men preler a good book to
cards or dice or drink in their off
hours.
One dollar, it is figured, will
furnish a book, keep it in clrculatio
until it is worn out, and replace it
when retired lor physical disability.
The field to be covered by the
libraries embrace® the jndoet range,
including service for recruits, for
men in training, fcrr men in mobilita
tion, garrison's, outposts, for the
men in their rest periods while on
the march, and even Tor the men at
the front.
For its very minimum contribu
tion, each city and town and village
will be asked by the association to
transmute 2 per cent of its popula
tion into dollars—that is, a city of
10,000 residents will be asked to
give a minimum of $200, and eo on,
up and down the scale, but no lim
it is set on a maximum.

was to be taken.
"To England," was tbe reply.
"How can that be?" he asked. "Our
