BUBONIC PLAGUE AT BRISTOL
DRASTIC MEASURES.
'Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.)
LONDON, Sept. 6. The authorities are taking drastic measures to stamp out the outbreak of bubonic plague at Bristol. They have burned rat-infested buildings.
A little pamphlet, entitled "The Danger of Venereal Disease" has been issued by the Defence Department, the object being to "warn the men of the Expeditionary Forces against temptations threatening their health' and efficiency. The language used is plain and straightforward*. "Everything which renders men unfit is the ally of the enemy," says the introduction. "Venereal disease is one of the greatest foes of military efficiency ; therefore every man should understand its dangers.'." These dangers are briefly set out in word's which permit of no misunderstanding. The pamphlet is small enough to fit in the pocket of the soldier's pay-book.
