The question asked, of course, is: "What nation could possibly under take s naval construction program that would threaten the five powers?" In reply British spokesmen declare that tha article In question Is merely precautionary, a sort of formality to 1 provide against (he "impossible." It Is "Inconceivable," the British leaders ex plained, "that Russia would be able to ,, so stabilise herself within 10 years the term of the treaty to launch any swaws"---qr-'Bsasg'giii iisiiixj jusjbb tat.

Capitol Building Is Threatened by Fire; Little Damage Done Salem, Jan. I.

America is prob ably in the best physical health it has ever been but it's still not as well as it should be. There la no foftaenssf epi demic to fear this year, and the fact that the nation hasn't forestalled other Ills characteristic of winter is because it still declines to take sufficient care of Itself. This, In brief. Is the summary of an exclusive interview given the United News by Surgeon General Hugh S. Cum mins, chief of the United States public health service. SHOULD COKSTJLT DOCTORS "If people would only consult their doctors the moment they feel the least bit sick we would save a lot of lives In the long run," said Cummmg. "I am certain that the low number of influenza cases this year Is a sure sign that the nation's health is better than ever. 'Of course Influenza Is always present In this country. - but an epidemic such as that of 1918 is rare. The present paucity of cases is due, I believe, to the care of the individual for himself. There la no positive anti-toxin yet discovered that will cure inflaenzs, so people must be unusually careful to lead healthful lives, as much out of doors as possible. Of late we have been hearing or a smallpox epidemic in the Middle West, radiating from Kansas City. That has been controlled by public health officials. And it is a happy commentary on the good health of the country that the epi demic has not spread broadcast. Of all thousands of ex-service men who attended the American Legion .In Kansas City when the epidemic was at its highest point, not one of them con tracted the disease, so far as we know. And this record is due nrobablv to the fact that all of the men had been vac cinated while in the army or navy, URGES VACCrciATIOH "I do not attribute this epidemic to any sudden invasion of the smallpox germ. It probably was due to general good health,' This sounds strange, 'but in recent years small pox has taken such a small toll the eight year average has been about .60 persons In every 1000, that people stopped being vaccinated. Due to the peculiarly fatal form of small pox in the Middle West, the average increases to 1.21 per. 1000. The public can draw a lesson from that and avail itself of the preventive measures at hand, namely vaccination. "Although there has been a marked Increase in diptheria during the last year as high as 190 per 1000, whereas the average for the previous eight years was 120 per loot) tnis is notning over which to be alarmed. Public schools throughout the country are equipped with immunizing facilities. Particularly the Schick test, which shows whether or not a child is immune to. the disease. This Is a harmless and painless test. and is positive. Once a child is found susceptible to diphtheria he is given the proper anti-toxin." i In conclusion Dr. Cummlng said that scarlet fever had increased slightly in 1921, the average being 1.92 cases per 1000 against the average for eight years of 1.18 cases. But these increases, he said, were not alarming, and the gen- eral condition of the country was better than ever. Astoria'Not Haveni For Drug Addicts; 25 Cases in Year "".; , -'"" - I' .Astoria, Jan. 5 R.l Carlson, chief of police, rose in the defense of Astoria in declaring that the city is not a haven for drug addicts and - announcing' that be did not agree with Dr. F.
