RAT PROOF BUILDINGS BEST MEANS TO KEEP PLAGUE FROM CITIES " -. -: . .. Surgeon-General Blue of U. S, Health Bureau Gives Advice Concernfng Disease. ELSIE: FERGUSON IS WONDERFUL IN NEW PLAY AT THE HEILIG "Outcast" Is .Opposite to ; That Given by Ibsen in His Dramas, ; . 1 ; San Fr an ei sco, June 16. "la view of the world wide distribution of plague and its adverse effect on com merce, it would seera... a matter of urgent importance for seaports espe cially to so change their type of archi tecture and building as to erect per manent barriers against the ' increase of rodents," said Surgeon General Ru pert Blue of the" Unltedi States public health service today in an address be fore the American society of Tropical Medicine. The subject of Dr. Blue's address was f "Plague .Preventive Measures; Their . Development and Present Status." Dr. Blue, who, has been largely In strumental In evolving the modern methods of . fighting plague, pointed out that as a result of the c&npaigns carried on by the public health serv ice in San Francisco and New Orleanjj building operations : have been prac tically revolutionized. ' -In order to effectually combat a plague outbreak in an urban com munity, well directed efforts must be made simultaneously to destroy ro dents, to deprive them of., food, to pre vent their harborage, and to exclude them from human dwellings. While It is Impossible to destroy all rodents wttmn a, plague Infected city, wtoen their number has been- reduced by one- half, the diseases among human be ings ceases." t . " 'In the. discussion of the paper which fallowed. Assistant- Surgeon General W. C. Rucker of the United States Dub- lie health service gave a resume of the work which has been performed under his direction in the city of New Or leans since July last. He pointed out i riai irom mat oate to May 15. 35.Z13 balldings, over 50' per Cent of the total number in the city,-; had been rat proofed, 33,000 nuisances bad been abated,' and 360,000 rodents 'captured in traps. He estimated that, counting those buildings which . were already rat proof, there were only about 17, 000 buildings In New Orleans In which rat-proofing remained to be completed." The rodent population, according to Dr. Rucker. has been reduced at least 80 per cent. "So far as human beings are con cerned. New Orleans has been plague free since October 4, lat." said . Dr. Ruckec. "It Is true that1 plague rats have been found as recently as May 17, but the great diminution in the ro dent population and the abolition of rodent harboring places Will eventual ly control the disease. "Some opposition to theenforcement of the. rat-proof ing ordinances has been met in certain' quarters, but inasmuch as both the federal courts and the su preme court of the state have upheld the validity of these ordinances, they will be completely enforced to the end that New Orleans may become entirely rat-proof, a veritable 'city sanitary.' Only a lucky man- can afford to pose as a disbeliever In luck. In "Outcase," four act play,' which opened at the Helllg last night for the week, the author, Hubert Henry Da vies, has attempted, apparently, to supply something just as good as Ib sen without sacrifice of the realistic strength that is Ibsen's.- - With Ibsen still in- view, it would seem that Mr. Davies has tried to give us ,the other thing." In bsed the key characters "obey the injunc tion; "To thine ownself be true?" That is, they are true to their conception of the injunction, and their environment is allowed to readjust itself as it will. In "Outcast" the characters do noth ing of the klndj They' do not .what they want .to do, not what their better selves tell them to do They do the eonventlonal thing, the thing ; they think they ought to do having nibbled at the other and the play closes with a dreary desert of r days ; and years stretching ahead of at least four peo ple. - .- '"' - And so "Outcast,". If It does attempt to, provide, an antidote for Ibsen and his dramatic disciples.' does not suc ceed in convincing that the goods have been delivered. , . The story of the play Is that of a man Geoffrey, who has been turned down by bis sweetheart, Valentine, who marries for money. . Quite by ac cident, a woman of the streets, Mi riam, comes to him when he is on the down grade with drink and drugs. Her story is like-his own. They sympa thlze. H Is saved from himself.

SAYS BLACKEST TALE ' OF WAR: WILL BE ON . USE OF DEADLY GASES Correspondent at Front Tells How' Russians Play Dead, Then Attack' Germans, ; - By Stanley Washburn- : Warsaw, June 15. (L N. B.) The use of poisonous gases by the Germans promises to present one of the black est pages of the world's history. . X spent the last three days studying the effects, visiting both the advanced trenches and the base ! hospitals at Warsaw, where the victims are dying. The soldiers- had been warned of the possibility that - gas would be used, hence they .were not surprised When, early on the morning of May 30, Ger man soldiers in their trenches were seen placing a white powder, resem bling salt, upon straw before their po sitions. - ' : - -' It was at first reported that this was a' gas-producer, but I . learn it was merely the means of creating a cloud of heavy white smoke to screen subse quent movements. The system usual ly employed by the Germans was to place cylinders of steel in the trench, embedded - in the floor, then connect this with a lead pipe running along the parapet facing the' Russians, With a valve at the cylinder head. After the smoke curtain was created, these valves, were, opened. 1 Clouds of a heavy, greenish-yellow gas poured out, flooding all the ground before the Ger man lines, and, with a favorable wind, drifted to the Russian line, which, was hidden -by the wall of- smoke and gas. Behind the gas went the sappers to cut the Russians barbed wire. Behind their attacking columns followed Ger mans bearing cylinders of oxygen for relief of their own soldiers, who were all eauipped with respirators. ' The Russian soldiers were told not to move or make a sound, thus permit ting the Germans to believe they were dead. When the' attackers reached the) entanglements, the whole Russian line opened fire, "sweeping away the first ranks.. , , . ' ' v Has Report for TI. S.
