TWO NAVY HEROES ARE CITED Rowed Through Flames to Reeeua Men From Burning Spanish Steam ship—Work of Children's Year Is Proving Very Effective. A health rate which as far as known has never been surpassed has been es tablished by the American armies both here and overseas, according to re ports received by Surgeon General Gorgas. For a recent week the combined re ports of the American expeditionary forces and of troops stationed in the United States show an annual death rate for disease of 1.9 per 1,000, less than two men per 1,000 per year. The annual death rate from disease of men of military age in civil life is 6.7 per 1,000. Tills new rate is bnsed on approxi mate strength of 2,500,000 men, and Includes men living under abnormal conditions. The overseas' record wa» mad# while American soldiers ware participating In the heavy fighting In the Marne salient, when they were compelled frequently to sleep and eat under the most primitive conditions. That this record Is truly representa tive of the general health of the troops is shown by the combined reports which Indicate the figure of 2.8 per 1,000 as the average death rate from disease during the past two months. An Idea of the progress being made in military sanitation is gained by a comparison with the following: During the Mexican war the annual death rate from disease was 100 per 1,000. Dur ing the American Civil war the rate In 1862 was 40 per 1,000, while during 1808 the rate jumped to 60 per 1,000. The disease death rate for the Spanish- American war Was 25 per 1,000. As far as available records show the low est figure heretofore recorded was 20 per 1,000 during the Russo-Japanese war. Two men of the American nflty proved themselves heroes and won commendation fronj Secretary Dan iels for the rescue of seven men from the burning Spanish steamship Seran tea July 13 last. They are William E. King, seaman, and Clarence F. Ready, machinist's' mate, second class, U. S. N. R. F„ of the U. S. S. Isls. The two men took the port launch of the Isls to the side of the burning ship and rescued from the burning forecastle seven men who were hemmed In by flames and who were too panic stricken to Jump Into the wa ter. The launch's trip to the Serante* was made through an area of burning gasoline and the rescuers were In con stant nnd Imminent peril. Their com manding officer reports that the con duct of King and Ready daring this time was cool and courageous. They probably owe their own live* and the lives of those they rescued to their ateady nerves and cool Judgment. Their commendation was for bravery and their Initiative in undertaking the res «ue. The army general staff ha* complet ed plans for expansions at some of the camps and changes at training cen ters. Additional plans are being worked out and will be put Into ef fect. Camp Hancock, Georgia, is to be a machine gun center and will be en larged to accommodate between 55,000 and 60,000 men. The officers' training School now housed In tents at this camp will be provided for in -barracks and quarters similar to those at other cantonments. These improvements outside of enlargement of the camp, will cost about $2,000,000. It ha* been decided to make Camp Grant an infantry replacement camp to accommodate between 55,000 and 80,000 men. The preaent capacity of thl* camp 1* about 42,000. The altera tion* and changes necessary will be made after the division now located there has been removed, i Field artillery firing centers are to be located at West Point, Ky., Camp Jackson, S. 0., and Fayettevllle, N. C. Options on sufficient land for this pur pose have been secured at all these places. It Is planned to locate six brigades at Fayettesvllle, six at West Point and four at Jackson. It has been decided also to erect permanent buildings for the officers' training schools at preaent housed In tents at Camps Lee, Gordon and Pike. These schools have a capacity of about 0,000 men. The estimated cost of these Improvement* is about $6,000,- 000. A* a result of the Immediate and growing needa of the army for trained nurses, Ills* Jane A. Delano, director of the department of nuralng of the Red Cross, has sent an appeal for en llatmenta from thla year'* graduating classes at 3,000 nurse training Institu tions throughout the country. It I* expected that about 13,000 atndenta will be graduated aa nurse* between now and October 1, and la hoped ■tany tt these graduates will be en rolled so they can be assigned te the nnrae corps before that date. Thd work of children'* year la prov ing to be an effective Americanization measure. The children'* bureau of the labor department baa a* Its gosl 100,- 000 baby Uvea saved thla year. Ac cording to reports received, foreign mothers are as eager as the native mother*. If not more so, to learn all they can about the proper care of their children. The Japanese women of Seattle are ■ tklnjUCu. eU » n » WWtai care. Hie ITillan - women oi UallHcu, Idaho, 1,000 strong, have arranged to atudy a standard book on the care and feed ing of children, with the aid of an In terpreter. The foreign mothers of the remote lumbering regtona of Washing ton and of the manufacturing cities of New England are united by the com mon desire to learn everything pos sible about safeguarding the health of their children. •This desire Is resulting In the break ing down of the barriers of alien lan guage and old-world superstition that have long stood tn the way of the health of little Americans born of for eign parents. It has been necessary In many cities to employ ftiterpretant at the weighing and measuring ceatsn t» answer the questions of mothers alt do not speak English. Classes la tha care of baby being conducted In Se attle and Pittsburg ara made a means of teaching mothers to speak and read English. Perhaps tbe most Important educa tional measure that has been adopted Is the provision of public health nurses whose function It Is not only to give care and service to the sick but to advise mothers how to keep their children well. As a result of Chll* dren's year activities many communi ties have succeeded In obtaining pub lic or private funds for pnbllc health nursing. Wisconsin has adopted the slogan, "A Public Health Nurse for Evory County," and' In Washington state an active campaign for school nurses is being carried on. The work of the state councils of de fense has been so valuable to the country that It has drawn public com mendation from President Wilson with an accompanying suggestion that its unique and widespread organization be utilized by all government department* and agencies so far as practical. Secretary Baker, chairman of the council of national defense, which brought the state councils Into exist ence, reported to the president: "It la difficult to estimate the importance of the service rendered, since our -en trance Into the war, by these state councils, their county eounclla and the multitude of workers banded together under them, whom we estimate to number at least one million. I feel sure that you, Mr. President, as tbelr Commander in chief, will be proud (ft their unique contribution In the war and will use your authority to broaden the scope of their activities aa condi tions permit so that they may go on to atlll greater achievements." The state councils, says Secretary Baker, have active county, or equiva lent, councils of defense under them, while In nearly every state the organ ization of community councils In the school districts, bringing the govern ment to the people aqd the people to the government, la progressing rapid ly. The president replied: "I shall be glad to have you express to the state councils my appreciation of the serv ice they have so usefully rendered. I am particularly struck by the value of extending our defense organization in to the smallest communities and by the truly democratic character of a national system so organized. I be lieve In the soundness of your conten tion that In the Interest of economy and efficiency such machinery aa that provided by the -state council system for the execution of many kinds of war work should be utilized as far as possible by federal departments and administrations." A recent proclamation by President Wilson puts Into effect provisions of the shipping act making It impossible for foreign Interests to obtain control of American shipping or shipyards. Chairman Bdward N. Hurley of the ■hipping board explains that the new law provides that during war or na tional emergency proclaimed by the president, it Is a criminal offense to sell, mortgage, lease or deliver an American ship to a foreigner without the consent of the shipping board, or to make any agreement by which con trol of a ship Is turned over to a for eigner. The prohibition applies not only to completed ships, but to ships under construction. It Is made Illegal, without the board's consent, to make any contract for ship construction for foreign ac count, unless the contract expreasly provides that construction on the ship ■hall not begin until after the war or the emergency has ended. Shipyards, also, cannot be transferred w foreign er* without the consent of the (hip ping board. The act has provisions which It 1* believed will prevent all attempts to evade the ship-transfer sections of the law by means of dummy director* and stockholder* In corporation* nominally American but actually dominated by foreigner*. Farmers who have been placed In army service deferred classifications to stimulate production are organizing throughout the country and reporting to Secretary Houston of the depart ment of agriculture. "We are ready with 110 per cent increase of wheat, or whatever else you may call upon us to do to help win the war," i» their message to the secretary. The shipping board ha* allotted a vessel la bring coffee from Brazil to the United State* to prevent a poe albla coffee shortage. RELATIVIt OF WOUNDED AND SICK T OQET FACTS Washington.

Notwithstanding the fact that the Qui mans have brought up strong re inforcements on both wings of the bat tle front, the British and French forces everywhere have beaten off the enemy and continued their victorious progress. Many additional towns hare been captured by Field Manhal Halg's mqp In the north, while the French have successfully overcome obstacles placed in their way and reached ter ritory north of Solssons which adds further to the danger of the Oermans in the Noyon sector and to their line running eastward from Solssons to Rhelma. All along the front from Arras to the Somme, the Germans are gradual ly being driven back to the old Hln denburg line by the British. Along the Somme the enemy is being harass* ed well to the east of Bray, while (frthfr north strong counter attacks have been repulsed and the towns of Msmets. the Mameti wood, Martin Pulch, Le Bars and Le Barque have been captured.
