Usefulness Of Sword In Battle Has Passed
American infantry in the present war will not be led in a charge by officers urging them on with flashing swords. The regular army abandoned swords in field use and now commissions officers with 45 calibre automatic revolvers. Colonels Griffith notes swords survive only in artillery and cavalry uniforms. Fleas are abundant in the orient and appear in few scriptures.

Two Towns Shift Smallpox Blame
In Tillsonburg Ontario on June 29 a case of smallpox sparked tension between St. Thomas and Tillsonburg. Elmer Heath of Tillsonburg traveled via Detroit to visit a sick sister in St. Thomas, then returned home where illness recurred. Local doctors diagnosed smallpox, prompting vaccination in large factories. St. Thomas officials later linked the outbreak to Tillsonburg, alleging the initial case may have come from Detroit. The St. Thomas town clerk sought to hold Tillsonburg accountable as a corporation.
