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.
Presently he and Miriam are living to
gether. But valentine has found he
money marriage to be shes. : She
hunts him up. 1 She leaves her hus
band In a year. Geoffrey leaves Mi
riam. He and Valentine are going to
Buenos Aires to live. Geoffrey at
tempts a money settlement with Mi
riam. She wants no money She wants
him. At the end Valentine ; has a
change of heart and goes , back to her
unloved moneyed husband.' This being
the case, Geoffrey proposes to marry
Miriam. She says no, but that she
will go with him any place, forever.
The end comes with Geoffrey insist
ing onr marriage.
Miss Elsie Ferguson, as the outcast,
18 wonderful. She touches -all the
heartstrings. Her support is ecel
lent, that of Charles Cherry as Geof
frey being admirable for earnestness
and truth. ' - -

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
