Preservation Uf public health is at all times one ol the greatest of social ami economic problems, At this time it is also a war emergency problem. The great iduty resting on every American citi? zen today is to devote every possible j ounce of his energy and effort toward the winning of the war. Death ami disease are the greatest in ut i a li/a rs ol' effort, A sick baby, a case of ma? laria *or typhoid practically Paralysen I the energies or the entire family until I the disease has run its course, and ' then the expenses have to he paid ami tiiose who have done the nursing must rest. Very many of the most active and intelligent physicians of the State have volunteered for war service ami there Is evidence that in some sections ot the State there are now too few left to properly look alter the health of the people, others of our physicians will be called into service at an early date which will make the situation very much more acute. I nder these conditions it would setm that nothing can be of more im? portance than to give the people the elementary knowledge of how to avoid preventable diseases ami of how to protect child life both before and after birth. The Council of Defense at its last meeting decided to put on a state? wide campaign of education for pub lie health. During the past few weeks our officers have been busy working out with tin- state Board ol Health the plans for this campaign, it has been decided to hold an insti? tute In r?- on August 1st and 2nd to which will be invited many teachers, college profeaaors, ministers, public speakers ami others. The Institute will i.e conducted by the following experts appointed by the State Hoard of Health: Dr. A. Hines?Child Welfare. Dr. Finest Cooper?Tuberculosis. Dr. James A. Ilayne?Malaria. Capt. Preboh Simpson Dysenter> ami Typhoid. capt. c. v. Akin Venereal DI? ea SI'S. Thorough hut non-technical Instruc tlon will *>?? given tin- workers who will then return home and endeavoi to reach the entire cltlaenshlp of tin state through meetings held between August Srd and l?th in every school district in tile State. A special of. ort will be made to rea? h town and county officials and impress upon them the importance of maintaining and adequately sup porting organisations to look after the public health in every town and county in the State. The Council believes that this cam? paign will present a very great op portunity for service and that many intelligent and patriotic men and wo men will readily volunteer their time and efforts. ?/e invite all who fi el <|llali!n'il lor this service to commit nlcnte with us at our office in Colum? bia statine, tlu ir qualifications and numlng the counties they would pre fer to operate in.

BEUMIB THE p. m.i-iis PREVENTING CONCEN? TRATION or ih n divisions. Artillery and Airplanes Deatroj Rail i"nds and Scatter Troop Trains. Behind tin- British Urns in Prance, June 30 (Correspondence oC Tin Associated Press) The task of con? centrating divisions tor a modern bat? tle on tin- western front is by no nn-ans an easy one, lor iL is naturally I the enemy's chief concern to prevent such a movement Crom being success? fully ami easily accomplished, j Rapid concentrations are essential, or else the all-Important element 01 ; surprise is lost, and rapidity depends largely upon the skillful use of rail? ways already overburdened with the normal demands of the troops in the assault area. For this reason the enemy's long-range tire, as well as a considerable proportion of his bomb? ing ail plain s are cone* ntrated upon che railroads in the back areas. Under normal conditions, the ordi nary straight railway lim is not particularly vulnerable, lining so nar? row it is a difficult target to hit. Tin curves of a railroad are, however, much more important. The destruc? tion of a section of rail on a curve means more trouble than the destruc? tion of half a dosen sections on tin straight. Sidings, railway stations, and places where there is a network of rails, and a/here there are points, junctions, and other special types of rail, ai< even more important than curves, foi damage done at a vital ceater may completely delay traffic for many hours. Such rail-centers I? bind the German lines are subjected by tin British to a form of "time bombard ment" so devised that all repairs have to l.e carried out under tin* most harassing conditions; ami not an tlOUi passes w ithout shell:; or bombs Inn si ing in th?- affected area. An important result of this con centration against the rail centers is that Hoops cannot be massed for an attack without undergoing a certain amount of morale-shaking expeii ? nci h first. There is no peaco for them by day or by night. Under these conditions tin* troops ore ptale before ? he Attack is launched. As this long-range bombardment is controlled chiefly by airplane obser? vation, :in enormous advantage lies with thai Bide which i^> predominant in the air. By tin- superiority of their airmen the allied armies are able to sweep all roads and railways in the enemy's rear with concentrated artil? lery lire by day and night; whilst large squadrons of bombing airplanes keep the German rest areas ami bil? lets perpetually under lire. Thus the Gorman soldiers are kepi in a State of nervous tension, the cas? ualties are heavy, ami tlie extra work Involved by the ever-Increasing dif? ficulties leads to the concentration be? ing continuously delayed and hum up, Divisions Buffer ami lose theli fighting value without ever being launched against the enemy. All these things together conspire to make the German concentrations difficult of accomplishment and more and more dependent upon the weath? er, which alone can suspend the Brit? ish and French aerial activity and hamper observation. Every day's de? lay in preventing a German concen? tration is of the utmost value to tin allies, who can prepare and strength en positions, bringing up re-lnforco? ments, construct roads and light rail? ways, and generally make valuable use of the time thus gained. When the delay OCCUrs between the phases of a big battle it is even more important; for experience goes to show that an arrested offensive that fails to attain its objects is little bet? ter than a real defeat. pol.MH k WIIi ENTER BACK.
