have been organized and equipped

war department
About 25,000 men now in mobiliza

orders, which revoke a ruling that
waived certain requirements when the
Mexican situation appeared acute.
Some 100,000 guardsmen are on the
border now. These, with 50,000 regu­
lars and 5000 reserves, comprise a
force sufficient, officials believe, to
make unnecessary the sending of more
inadequately equipped state troops.

PACIFIC COAST TO
• SAFEGUARD INFANTS
Portland, Ore.— Regulations to keep
infantile paralysis from the Pacific
coaat and the northwest were adopted
by health authorities of California,
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana
and British Columbia, at a meeting in
Portland.
The surgeon general of the United
States, the railroads and the health
authorities of the five states and the
province are thereby brought into a
compact for the enforcement of uni­
form rules that will put every person
coming from New York or other in­
fected area under surveillance until
the danger is deemed to be past.
i-Thls Is the first step that has been
taken in America by so large a group
of states to secure uniform and co-op­
erative methods of protecting th t peo­
ple against the danger from this dis­
ease. Thus far in the east, protective
measures have been confined to single
states or to even smaller areas and
the action of the western health offi­
cers sets a pace for the rest of tha
country.
