- CHAOS REIGNS
IN SECTIONS OF
EAST EUROPE
LONDON, June 8 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—“In the con
dition of chaos in which Eastern
Europe is at present, famine and fa
tigue have produced a condition of
lowered resistance to infection which
favors the reproduction of the epidem
ics of the Middle Ages,” says a writer
in the Lausanne, Switzerland, Gazette.
“Prisoners are wandering in East
ern Europe on their way to their
homes, innumerable Russians on their
way to the East from Germany; Ger
mans, Austrians and Hungarians pass
ing from Russia to the West; Serbs
and Croats striking south, Poles go
ing to the north, crossing one another
* in indescribable confusion in Poland,
the Ukraine and Hungary. The ab
sence of linen and clothing forced
these prisoners to clothe themselves in
rags of skins in the same way as the
civilian population.
“The fight against typhus consists
mainly in bathing the men and ster
ilizing their clothing. The Ilungar- .
ians possess ovens, but no coal; the
Czecho-Slovaks have coal but no ov
ens. Soap and body linen are absent
everywhere. Linen, when put into
the oven, is so wretched as to be un
wearable afterwards, and the owner
has to be sent away clad in his sheep
skins. Prisoners and wandering civil
ians know this so well that they take
every means to avoid disinfection more
than anything else; to avoid being
stoved at a station they get out of
the trains when they stop at the
smaller stations and enter the town
in small, scattered groups, which at
tract less attention.
“The ordinary mortality of exanthe
matous typhus in endemic regions be
fore the war in Silesia, Poland, Rus
sia and Galicia was-from 6 to 7 per
cent; at present it is more than 20
per cent. It is true that the epidemic
has not yet assumed the proportions
of epidemic cholera in India, where,
in the town of Bombay alone, there
were 2,295 deaths from January 12
to 25, 1919; but there is a great dan
ger for Europe. All Eastern European
states realize this, and though they
were at war with one another, yet they
sent delegates to the Budapest con
gress and decided to place their re
sources in common.”
PLENTY OF BARLEY FOR
BEER BUT NONE FOR FOOD
m i
COBLENZ, July 10 (by Associated
Press).—A Muhlhausen newspaper
published recently an article stating
hat 5,000,000 pounds of barley were;
lsed in Germany during the war for
making beer, although 500,000 persons
lied in that time owing to lack of
proper food. The newspaper advo
cates reduction of beer production as
a patriotic duty.
NO COWOFAPPEAL
IN MILITARY DECISIONS
BERLIN, July 10 (by Associated
Press).—Question has been raised
here as to what authority under the
Prussian law shall confirm the verdict
of the military court which convicted
several persons of the murder of Karl
Liebknecht and Rosa Luxembourg.
In former times the sentence would
have been confirmed by the king of
Prussia, the German emperor. Now
it is believed that the Prussian pre
mier, as head of the diet, is the proper
person to take this action. Meanwhile
the convicts remain in prison and can
not appeal from the verdict of the mili
tary court.

BUREAU OF EDUCATION
WILL TAKE CENSUS OF
ALASKA IN NEAR FUTURE
A census of the whites and natives
in the vast expanses of Alaska will
be conducted by the United States bu
reau of education for Alaska, under
direction of William T. Lopp, chief of
the bureau, says the Seattle Times.
Authority to begin preparations for
taking the census, which will be done
simultaneously throughout the United
States and its possessions on January
1, has been received by Mr. Lopp from
the government census bureau.
In no other territory within the jur
isdiction of the nation is it more dif
ficult to obtain a poll of the people
than in Alaska, on account of the enor
mous extent of the Northland and the
many scattered towns and native vil
lages that are only accessible by dog
teams after long trips over the snow
steeped trails.
By using the Alaska division of the
bureau of education in taking the cen
sus, instead of employing private in
dividuals to do the work, as was done
1
in the last census, ten years ago, the
government will save approximately
$50,000, said Mr. Lopp. It cost 378,000
to take the last census of Alaska, he
said. This saving will be made pos
sible on account of the fact that the
bureau of education has teachers, doc-j
tors, field superintendents and other
emissaries in all parts of the territory
who have excellent facilities for tak
ing the census and an accurate knowl
edge of the country in their respective
districts.
Northerners say Alaska’s true cen
sus will probably never be known. The
law provides that the census must be
taken as of January 1. This is a time
when from 35 to 55 per cent of Alas
kans are on “the Outside” for the
winter months, although they are es
sentially Alaskans and return to the
North in the spring.
RUSSIAN BOLSHEVIKI

*
MEXICO CITY, July 10 (by Asso
ciated Press)—Dimitri Nikitri, al

been a leader in the unrest among the
petroleum workers.
