No. 234
Many Cities Bar All N. Y. Children
In Fear of Infantile Paralysis'
FEAR of the infantile paraly-
sis epidemic lias readied
sueli proportions in tin territory
Surrounding Greater New York
that it lias become next to im-
possible for parents to find a
placi where they can go with
their childien during the hot
weather. Everywhere they try
to alight from steamer or train
they find local health officials
or policemen waiting to in-
form them that there is a qua-
rantine against New York
children under fifteen years of
age. They nre compelled to
face about and return to New
York or else subject themselves
to quarantine conditions.
Not only children, but even
adults have found themselves
tahuoed in certain communities.
Even persons owning country
homes have found themselves
barred. Furniture vans have
been held up and searched for
hidden children, and many sum-
mer colonies have been aban-
don because of difficulties plac-
ed in the path of colonists.
Incoming trains and steamers
brought back hundreds of New
Yorkers to day who had ex
picted to escape from the city
until Monday or later.
The health authorities at
Mountainview, N. J., 'ejected
from their summer homes 125
men, women and children be
cause they had recently come
from New York and Brooklyn.
These leople, taken by surprise
had r^'spend the night in the
railroad station Forty families
were effected by the order. Not
one person of the 125 showed
IH( symptoms of the epidemic.
Thirty five children, accom
pinied by fifteen adults, were
brought back to pier No. 40.
N >rth River, at 6.30 o'clock this
morning on board the Chester
W. Chapin of the New London
Line. The patents had tried
to take the youngsters out of
town jesterday for the week
end, but a policeman on the
dock at New London had turn-
ed them back.
The Sound Steamers of the
New Haven Steamship Com
pany are taking children of all
ages aboard, but the parents are
warned that Bridgeport, Conn,
will not allow children under
fifteen years old to land there.
Some of the other Sound
liners are not receiving children
under fifteen.
Inspectors at railroads and
highways leading into lJaterson
are sending back all children
from Greater Now York. Child-
ren bound for Rhode Island who
have to change cars at New
London are being put in charge
of Rhode Island health inspec-
tors and quarantined If allowed
to go on to their destinations.
Norfolk is closed to all New
York children.
Irvington has been quaran
lined. At Peekskill an excur
sion of the sons of Veterans to
Coney Island was called of! af
ter thousands of tickets had been
sold to children. In Yonkersan
other death was reported. A
new case was reported in New
Rochelle.
Fifteen New cases were re
ported in New Jersey, Nine of
them in Newark. At New Bruns
wick the Ferrer Anarchist colo
H was placed under strict qua
rantine following the discovery
of a case of paralysis in a child
from New York. In the school
are about forty children. One
new case was reported in Jer
sey City and two in Rutherford.
Hoboken continues to enforce
a rigid quarantine. Officers
went to the extent of stopping
deliveiy wagons and inform
ing the drivers they would have
to Ret health certificates.
Dr. Charles E- Banks made
public a letter sent out by the
Jersey Central Railroad, out
lining the requirementsof towns
along its lines, as follows :
Long Branch Inspectors will
be on hand to examine children
under sixteen years of age upon
arrival.
RaritanWill not permit
persons who come from infected
districts to remain in the town.
BloomsburyAn officer at the
station, and children under six
teen will not be permitted to
remain when from a point
where the epidemic is known to
exist.
Three BridgesBoard of
Health requires all childrtn to
pass a doctor's examination on
arrival.
Eastern, Pa.All children ar
riving from any place where
epidemic is known toexist will
be subjected to a twenty day
quarantine.

ren under sixteen to remain un
less they hold health certifi
cates.
West Point. N. Y.Military
authorities will not permit
children under sixteen to land

The Evening World
SOME GERMAN BLUNDERS
Germany's inefficiency in jud-
ging the psychological effect of
its actions on neutral nations
in striking contrast with Ger-
man efficiency in actual prose
cution of its military pro
gramme, is illustrated by two
incident*not generally known,
both of which resulted in ma
terial advantage for enemies.
A year or more before the out
break of the wai a Greek order
for a large battleship was
placed with a German ship
yard, the contract for armor
plate and guns being awaided
to the Bethlehem Steel Co.
When hostilities began, the
hull of the vessel was completed
and it was seized by the Ger
man government. Greece, na
turally, did not regard the ac
tion as the most friendlyCOUrM
possible, and, receiving an ofler
from Britain sold the guns and
other armament, the most va
luable part of the ship and the
part that involved more time
to replace to England.
The second incident was of a
similar nature. In 1914 Beth
lehem Steel was completing *
110,000,000 order for coast de
fences and other armament for
Chile. The guns and other ar
mament were practically ready
for delivery, but industrial de
pression which the war caused
in South America was so acute
that Chile found herself unable
to make payment. At the criti
cal moment Germany managed
to cause ill feeling in Chile for
a trilling advmtage. Britain
again stepped in and her offer
to take the armament off Chile's
hands was promptly accepted.

Notwithstanding the fact
that hurricane m mthsare ua
us, ^is.il is still coining from
the Out Ulands in large qu
antities.
Sad to 1. late, h iwever,
there are still the same nun
plaints to be ma^e,- bad
cleaning, and water. In some
cases it is all t .oevident that
these faults are deliberate.
Sisal isshipped wetanddirty
with the hope that -
buyer will be sillyenough to
give full weight. If you doubt
our statement take a walk
round some of the wharfs and
Sl'' the Sisal fended. I'he
bales look dry, and "the out
sale of the pi.itter" is beauti
fully dean. See that same
S|S;|I wi il;Ii landoneortwo
hanks tajten oul of the mid
die of the I, de, and in the
' "i njorty of in; lam es von
will find water in abundai
and sometimes black I as
well. The pity of it i ):1 ,,f
our most promising indus
tries is b sing ruined by this
criminal cnrelessni ss and dis
honesty. An instance of what
the presence of water in Sisal
means was brought to our
notice a few days ago." A lot
of the fibre was put on the
seale and weight I n lbs.
On examination it proved to
be wet, and the Rug
gested that he should deduct
10 ) lbs for water. The ng
cut thought that 85IDS would
be enough to deduct, and it
was eventually decided to
dry the Sisal with a view to
ascertaining bow much wat
er there really was in it. It
was opened and spread out
foi t .vo hours in the after
noon, and on being weig
it was found that i h out ONE HUNDRED AND
/"//'}' ONE POUNDS. It is
obvious that a Sisal Ex< ban
_' or sonic other drastic re-
form is needed. Ob that our
buyers, in the interest of this
industry, as well as tin irown
and the inter*si of the |
ducer as well; would n fuse
to wi igh any Sisal >. i pt it
is thoroughly dried. If a ft w
i irgoes were can ied b
to the islands as being unfit
for the market, tin- great
evil would soon be eradL ated
