County Superintendent of Health W. M. Jones opened his 1915 cam paign against typhoid fever Friday afternoon at Gibsonville, where in a single afternoon he vaccinated two hundred nennle against this hiehlv contagious disease. Dr. Jones be4otintfend to violate the lawS of neU" lieves that in vaccinating this num ber, in a single afternoon he set a re cord. The time required for the two hundred vaccinations was just three hours, or at the rate of more than one a minute. He is expecting to do evert"nTetter next Friday . atternoani when he goes back to give the sec- ond inoculation. Dr. Jones has not yet completed his weekly schedule for the summer, but will doubtless be able to an nounce it within a very few days. He has definitely decided to pay the mill villages one visit each week; and the remainder of his time will be di vided among as widely separated parts of the county as possible, so that everybody may be able to reach him conveniently. With the interest in public health matters already being manifested by the people of Guilford, it is predicted that the number of anti-typhoid vac cinations this year will' greatly sur pass the total of over 3,000 last year. The fact that there are now only three cases of typhoid in the county, outside of Greensboro, is attributed in great part to the vaccine treat ment last year; and this has con vinced the people that the safe and sane course to take is to be vacci nated.

General yictorianfr Huerta 4w-feis associates to launch' from Amerfcan territory a new revo tionary movement in Mexico. " Detention; of the former Mexican dictator fth General Orozco and others,' MEl Paso, Tex. yesterday followinvnearly three months of espionafffr government agents. The departm li ' of justice had Instructed United t&es Attorney Camp, of the western lf strict of Texas, to take in to custcwSy these men, who seeming ly were engaged in violations of Americajn neutrality laws which for bid the freeruiting of men, purchase of supplied therefor, and the organ izing of a military expedition on the soil of the United States to be used in operations against a ' people with which, tjilbat country is at peace. Mr. clgjrip was ordered to place be fore a grand jury at El Paso all the evidencin his possession, in order that indictments may be returned against.ony one guilty of -an intent to violate American neutrality laws. Whilqpofficials were reticent as to the probable development of the case against general Huerta, it was indi cated tfit the United States- would regain Jn- its custody for the present at least, the main whose overthrow of Madero find Suarez and dictatorship in Mexico was declared by President Wilson to be responsible for the re sulting turbulence in the southern republic, When General Huerta re-turnedvfrom-Spain the American gov ernment made no effort to deport him, accepting his pledge that he did trality. Government agents watched his movements, however, noting that former federal generals frequently were ih conference with him. They investigated reports that financial hdvbeen obtained for a new SvWtionary movetnentr but It was not until the moment of apparent setting on foot an expedition that it was regarded as timely to interpose tne arm or the American govern ment. WILL AVOD3 CENSORS BY SENDING MAIL DIRECT. Complaints that censors tamper with neutral mail passing through Great Britain has resulted in the is suance of an order by the postoffice department directing that all mail from the United States for Norway, Sweden, Denmark and the Nether lands be dispatched - oa steamers sailing direct. This is the remedy suggested by the Swedish minister, who recently filed with the state department evi dence that mail from the United States had been censored in England As the countries in which mails orig inate control the routing, the order will affect only outgoing mail. It is expected, however, that similar steps soon will be taken by at least some of the European neutrals. Under the new arrangement, mails to tne .Northern countries will not leave as frequently, but there are several regular direct steamer lines and no serious delays are looked for. A general inquiry into alleged tam pering with mails, at home and abroad is being conducted by the postoffice department, charges hav ing been made that mail of embas sies and legations of belligerent countries has been opened on United States railway mail cars. Sweden, it is said, has protested ;snarpiy to London against interfer - ence with mails. According to in - formation reachine this country Swedish firms have suffered so great- ly rrom Interruption of their corre - spondence with American concerns that their business actually is threat ened with ruin. ohn L.

Anxiety Increased today in. official quarters overx the :jiitton-': fwUbe state department has been un able to communicate with that city hy telegraph ' for. Several days. Brief dispatches from Vera Cruz said Carranza . officials were much chagrined at the apparent failure of Gen. Pablo Gonzalez to enter the cap ital. Reports that Gonzalez was en1- gaged in an artillery duel with the Zapatistas ; gave the r first intimation that the Villa-Zapata forces in Mexi co City had. determined to offer re sistance to the invading Carranza army instead of evacuating. Gonzalez himself,. it Js indicated, cut commun ication between Vera Cruz and Mex ico City to isolate the Zapata forces. This prevents the state department from communicating with ' the Bra zilian minister and deprives all other foreign governments of information concerning their diplomatic missions andi subjects. famine conditions in Mexico City have been growing worse daily and investment by a new army will cause much suffering to foreigners. While it is generally understood that there wilf be np further- develop ment in the Mexican situation, so far. as the United States is concerned un- til the return of President Wilson frdhivCornish, it is though in official circles that the situation in the southern capital may fdrce a new crisis.' v Carranza has given this govern ment assurances that every effort will be made by General Gonzalez to save the lives and property of for eigners if his troops enter the city. It is feared, however, that fighting may be carried into "the old capital by the contending forces, although the diplomatic corps hitherto has been successful in persuading the garrison; to evacuate rather than give battle in the streets. General Hernandez, commanding forces in the, Monclova district, re fuses to permit American Red Cross agents to bify corn, and beans in M ex- J ico; b tit has giMermissibi to hrhk them from the United States. He 3ig- nified his intention of using the local supply for relief purposes himself. GOVERNMENT RECEIVES i REQUESTS FOR LABORERS. War orders from Europe, the pros- pective record-breaking crop of wheat now being harvested and heavy yields of other grains are cre ating a new demand for labor, ac cording to indications at the govern ment employment office in the de partment of labor at Washington. requests tor workers are coming from many manufacturers and farm ers throughout the country and from state labor commissioners. Oklahoma is said to need from 16,- uuu to is.uuu harvest hands, and Kansas 35,000. An Oregon associa tion nas applied for 1,000 berry pickers. An arms and ammunition plant in Connecticut has asked for 30,0 men. Zinc and lead mines in Missouri need 1,000 laborers. A Maryland steel company has applied for 100 hands. In West Virginia 2.- Q.00 coal mine employees are wanted. So far the department has been more successful in the cities than in the country in placing men who want work. Of the 3,495 for whom it found places last month, 1,500 were sent to Chicago alone, a railroad hav ing applied for several thousand track-workers. It is stated that about 25 per cent of all applicants for jobs in May were placed through the de partment's efforts. I President Taking a Rest. Under the orders of his physician ito take a complete rest. President 1 Wilson has settled down at the "sum- mer White Houe" at Pnmiah r tr I for a brief vacation to prepare him- I self for the arduous work -he is ex I pecting within the next fw months in connection with the European and Mexican situations. The nresi- dent plans to give much thought in xne quiet seclusion of the rvii hills to the next step in the Mexican policy, to the submarine issue with Germany and to the discussion with Great Britain over interference with commerce between the United States and the neutral European nations, Secretary Lansing will do most of the actual work in the note to Great Britain now being prepared, but the president already has discussed with him the question of the broad policy involved1. He will see the note be fore it Is sent to London. . vcj- cs-::o;- or SKVfcRE FIGHTING ALONO - " ". ' OF TJfi DNEisTERv - The battle of ; the Dneister, which : will decide the fate of the left wing of the Russian w army in Gallcia, sway back' and forth along the rhrer banks, so "far without decisive jre- -suits. ; The Russians have thrown considerable reinforcements into this , area; but whether, they are planning a serious offensive or are merely fighting stubbornly preparatory to another retreat, is uncertain. ; BotH sides have lost heavily. Gen eration Llnsingen's right flank and center having been - badly cut up when the Russians threw the Aus- tro-Germans back across the river. The Russians have been fortifying their lines from the river to the Russian frontier, and, with the Aus- tro-German lines of communication lengthening dally, the task of forcing the Russians eastward becomes more ahd more formidable. Although Ber- lin claims that the Teutonic allies have been forging ahead between the Dneister and the district which they occupied east of Lemberg, the ad vance lacks the characteristics of the impetuous rush so noticeable in for mer stages of the Galician campaign. The French and ; , German an nouncements relative to the fighting in the western theater are so contra- victory as to afford only the haziest view of , the situation. German Socialists are again active .v , ..... vi-,' ,t--fc in the cause of peace" according to dispatches from Germany? and the prominent paper .Vorwaerts 'has been rebuked for publishing their peace appeal by indefinite suspension. Army recruiting in England;4reems to have been temporarily 'forgotten amid the high tension of the cam paign for munitions workers. No Assistance From Carnegie. It , is announced that representa tives of Andrew Carnegie have refus ed to extend any support to the la bor peace movement that has been set in motion by Representative Buchanan,' of Illinois, and ex-Representative Fowler, also of that state. Inquiry developed that .the labor lfll00. &t5fa!s& or some of the Carnegie peace so cieties and that funds were refused. As a result those identified with the labor peace movement are indig nant, asserting that if the Carnegie organizations are so deeply interest ed in the question of disarmament as has been presented they should support any agency lormea to attain this end. Despite the cold water thrown on, the movement by Presi dent Gompers, of the American Fed eration of Labor, Messrs. Buchanan and Fowler and their associates In tend to push the propaganda against war, except in case of invasion. Money Held by Banks. Washington, June 25. The total cash held by the national banks of the country on May 1 was $735,348 964, according to the statement of condition as of that date made public by Comptroller of the Currency Wil liams to-day. The comptroller as serted that this sum represents an ac tual gain of $16,305,452 over the amount held by the banks March 4 last, but an apparent decrease since a year ago of $23,825,998. The decrease is explained as hav ing been due to the trasfer of funds to the federal reserve banks on the organization of the new system and the subscriptions to the capital stock of these institutions. The comptrol ler stated that there would have been an actual increase of $96,255,002 had it not been for these transfers and subscriptions. War Depletes British Schools. The annual report of the board of I education of England says it Is not yet possible to estimate the full ef- I feet of the war on the schools, but it 1 hm denleted the teaching staff . de- I creased the number of students and - 1 caused inconvenience by the use of school buildings for military our- i poses.
