longed exposure of northern troops in southern camps and cantonments to 

 malarial infection may result in the reintroduction of the disease in com- 

 munities in this state now free therefrom, and in course of time may also 

 lead to its spread among the armies of our Allies on the western front; 



And whereas, This association clearly recognizes the supreme importance 

 of the reduction of malarial hazard to the national army at home and abroad 

 to the lowest possible minimum; 



Be it therefore resolved, That this association respectfully suggests to the 

 Surgeon-General of the army the urgent necessity of. special protective 

 measures in the State of New Jersey to safeguard thoroughly the military 

 forces and the industrial workers employed in government work against tlie 

 serious risk of malarial infection, and to that end it pledges its most hearty 

 co-operation in whatever manner the service of its members may be desired 

 and utilized to the best advantage. 



Pre:side:nt Brinkerho:^!^ — Gentlemen, you have heard the

We will proceed to the next paper, "The Mosquito Problem of

 engineer of the Essex County Mosquito Extermination Com- 

 mission.
