GREATEST NEED
OF RUMANIA
MORE FOOD
ATHENS, June 5 (by mail).—Ger
many has stripped Rumania of every
thing, writes a Red Cross agent from
Budapest. There are only eight-four
locomotives in the whole couptry for
the transport of troops, munitions and
supplies. Of her seventeen theoretical
divisions eleven have had to be de
mobilized for lack of fuel and equip
ment. There are not sufficient horses
to transport field artillery, no tractors
for the field artillery, forty per cent
of the Rumanian medical staffs died
during the war and there are virtually
no airplanes, armored cars or tanks.
Despite the efforts of the authori
ties, the country is harboring Bolshevik
agents smuggled in by Russia, Hun
gary and Bulgaria. As 60 per cent of
Rumania is illiterate the Bolshevik
danger is apparent.
The greatest need is food. Food for
the army and food for the civilian
population. America has sent a dozen
food ships to Rumania and the Ameri
can Red Cross is distributing food at
canteens and by means of rolling soup
kitchens wherever the need is greatest
In the Dobrudja where the smallpox
epidemic is at its worst the American
Red Cross has many doctors and
nurses.
America has loaned Rumania $5,
000,000 but the financial situation of
the country remains critical, writes
the Red Cross man. This he attri
butes to Rumania’s inability to export
and to the broadcast issue during the
German occupation of worthless bank
notes.
In addition to food the Rumanian
army and civilian population desper
ately need clothing. Cloth for a suit
of clothes costs sixty dollars a yard.
A yard of linen for shirts costs eight
dollars and a shirt of ordinary quality
$40. A pound of butter costs $5.50.
“How can America help Ruman?"
a Rumanian army officer was asked.
“Continue your splendid shipments
of food through the American army
food mission and the American Red
Cross,” replied the officer. “Send us
propaganda writtfin by Americans to
be dropped by airplanes in the Bol
shevik ranks. We must fight ideas
with ideas. Our railroad ahd trans
port service is a wreck. Send us some
of the American railroad men who did
such wonderful work in France.”

TUBERCULOSIS
BE COMBATTED
BY HIE A Y
ATLANTIC CITY, June 25 (by As
sociated Press).—Special reconstruc
tion towns may be established by the
government in the near future, where
soldiers suffering from tuberculosis
can regain their health and at the
same time work at light trades to fit
themselves for a full return to indus
trial life, said Colonel Ester Nichols,
commandant of the United States
Army General Hospital No. 16 at New
Haven, Conn., in an address at the an
nual meeting of the National Tuber
culosis Association today.
“This is being considered,” he says,
“as a part of Uncle Sam’s plan for
vocational re-education which, since
the armistice, has for its purpose the
fitting of men disabled by the war for
new occupations in civil life.”
The idea of special communities for
these men and their families has been
advanced by Captain F. A. Waugh of
the United States army sanitary corps,
and would be for the purpose of bridg
ing over the gap between sanatorium
treatment and full return to industry.
“These towns,” said Colonel Nichols,
“might be located upon lands in the
national forests. This would permit
of the setting up of attractive and
healthful wood-working industries for
the patients and afford an opportunity
for them to retain permanent control
of land holdings after they were
cured.
“No matter where these towns
might be located proper medical super
vision would be necessary,” he said,
“but, whereas, medical treatment has
first place in sanatorium care of suf
Iferers from tuberculosis, productive
industry would take precedence in the
proposed reconstruction towns. These
communities would require financial
assistance at first but might eventual
ly become self-supporting.”
Surgeon B. J. Lloyd, of the United
States public health service said the
building of the Panama canal was but
a day’s work in comparison of the task
of eradicating tuberculosis.
“The ‘tuberculosis problem,’ when
reduced to its lowest terms,” he said,
“means the germ of tuberculosis on
the one hand, and the newborn babe
ton the other. Inasmuch as no baby
is ever born with tuberculosis, if the
two could be kept apart there would
be no tuberculosis problem.”
Dr. Lloyd emphasized the need of a
division of tuberculosis in the United
States Public Health Service. This,
he said, would permit of cooperative
correlation of the activities of all
bodies and departments of the govern
ment engaged in tuberculosis work.
