GARBAGE CONDITIONS NEAR
FISH CANNERY BAD
Attention of the health authorities
has been called to the fact that
dumping of garbage on the beach to
the windward of the San Juan dock
is anything but beneficial to sanitary
conditions in the cannery. So foul was
the odor from garbage washed under
the cannery that any smell from fish
ollal was lost in the shuffle and the
cannery hands were so nauseated that
a bulkhead was built to keep it at
least 100 feet distant. There the
putritl filth has accumulated together
with cans and rubbish, which is any
thing but edifying to the tourists on
vessels making the cannery.
Some arrangement by which gar
bage can be dumped from a barge on
the outgoing tide or taken to some
point far enough from town to cease
being a nuisance has been suggested.

SCADS or IRON
CROSSrS OUT
Over Two Million Decorations of Sec
ond Class Distributed by
Kaiser Hill
COPENHAGEN, July 15, (Mail Cor
respondence). — That 2,200,00 iroli
crosses of the second class and 49,000
of the first class have been awarded
during the war is shown by announce
ments published in Berlin which have
been received here. Of this number
3,600 were conferred upon individuals
“behind the front," but"t^ is certain
that the number of persons wearing
the decoration who have never been
under fire is even larger. The* clas
sification “behind the front" probably
applies only to non-combatants engag
ed in war service, and not to individ
uals, like von Jagow and other civili
ans, who from time to time have been
stationed at the main headquarters.
A horde of wearers of the iron
cross have been simply employed at
the headquarters and by the staff;
never smelling powder unless perhaps
it was during the repulse of a long
distance airplane raid. As an example
of the lavishness with which the
crosses are handed out a correspond
ent of The Associated Press was pres
ent at a luncheon party of eight at the
main headquarters in 1915, where the
seven Germans present all had been
decorated and not a single one of them
had ever been under fire.
During the Franco-Prussian war
about one in every twenty partici
pants was given an iron cross, and ex
cept in the case of high military com
manders and sons of royalty, it was
awarded only for exceptional bravery
in the field.
The value of the iron cross now has
become so debased, because of the vast
quantities granted and the number of
swivel-chair heroes who have through
their influence reecived them, that the
establishment of a new order for valor
is being talked of.

SEEK CHANCE TO
GO OVER SEAS
EL PASO, Tex., (Mail Correspond
ence).—Lacking a few men to fill up
an artillery regiment for foreign ser
vice, Brigadier General Greble today
called for volunteers from two regi
ments of other branches of the service,
choosing that method rather than ar
bitrarily designating the men needed.
The plan failed, for on the appeal
for volunteers, every officer and en
listed man of the two regiments
stepped forward.

ITT TEUTON PRISONERS
AT DIGGING PEAT FUEL
—
PARIS, Aug. 15.—German prison
ers of war are to be utilized in the
digging of peat in order to eke out
France’s failing fuel supply. They
will work under the supervision of
Territorials familiar with the peat re
gions who will be given long leaves
from the it’my for that purpose. En
gineers have been sent to the princi
pal peat bogs, such as the “Grande
Briere” near Nantes, to organize the
work. The peat will be consumed so
far as possible by factories located
near the beds so as to require the
least possible transportation.

WAR COUNCIL
—
One of Six Representatives of England
to Consider War
Prisoners
LONDON, July 15, (Correspondence
of The Associated Press).—The first
woman diplomatist to sit at a table
of diplomatic negotiation, according to
the Daily Mail, is Mrs. Darley Living
stone, who was one of the six British
official representatives at the Anglo
German Conference at the Hague re
cently, to deal with the questions on
prisoners of war.
Mrs. Livingstone is an American
married to a British officer and has
been a member and secretary of the
Government Committee on the treat
ment by the enemy of British pris
oners since it was formed two years
ago.
In the early days of the war Mrs.
Livingstone used to do all the inter
viewing of the sick and wounded pris
oners who were returned periodically
and although this work is now dpnc
largely by a large stafT of volunteers,
she still makes it a point of person
ally interviewing all escaped prisoners
of war.
