POLES IN SIBERIA.
Poles who have just completed
a pilgrimage of many months from
the heart of Siberia to the newly
redeemed city of Minsk. have
brought to American Red Cross
headquarters in that city the news
that at least 200,000 former war
prisoners are waiting in Siberia for
an opportune moment to return to
Poland. Some placed the number
at 500,000.
According to the newly-returned
refugees, who were themselves Aus
trian prisoners of war, Western Si
beria is full of homeless men claim
ing Polish nationality. The prob
lem created in Poland by the re
turning prisoners and refugees is
already acute, the government be
ing forced to rely heavily on Red
Cross help to feed and clothe them.
Should the number of refugees still
to return be in keeping with the
estimate brought by the new ar
rivals, it will mean an enormous
additional burden for the govern- j
mem and the Red Cross relief serv
ice.
CLEANING THE BALKANS.
American physicians and Red
Cross workers conquered the typhus !
i
epidemic in Serbia by using soap,
scrubbing brushes, kerosene, disin
fectants and delousing machines,:
says Lieutenant-Colonel Edgar Er
skine Hume, of Frankfort. Ken
tucky. director of the American
Red Cross in Serbia.
“We went into the homes of the
peopie and carried the patients out,"
Colonel Hume recently told a rep
resentative of The Associated Press.
"At times they were reluctant to
leave and we had a hard task over
coming their fatalism. Often we
had to use force. We cleansed
them, scrubbed them, and literally
turned the hose on them.
“Until an effective serum is found,
the most potent agent in combating
the disease is soap and water. Mix
this with American energy and en
thusiasm and you have a combina
tion that will check, if not over
come. any disease that has its origin
in dirt."
SOLDIERS OF THE SOIL.
The British army was doing some
thing other than fight in the last
year of the war, according to the
Army Agricultural Committee report
made public recently. It cultivated
fi,638 acres of land in the country
occupied by the home forces alone,
and made a profit of about $50 an
acre.
In France, thousands of acres
were cultivated by the soldiers, and
vegetables worth no less than $2,
500,000 were produced.
By irrigation the army in Meso
potamia became self-supporting so
far as vegetables were concerned,
and the grain crop was valued at
$15,000,000.
The Saloniki army also was busy
cultivating the soil back of its lines,
and in addition to harvesting crops
worth some $300,000, saved 52,000
tons of ships which would other
wise have been used to cairy sup
plies to that far-off front
WHAT AMERICA WANTS.
i Former United States Senator
!
Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio, told
'the Japanese financiers in a speech
!he delivered recently at a banquet
'tendered to him at the Bankers’
I
club at Tokio, that what the United
States most desired was that Japan
1 should do everything: possible to pro
mote peace among the nations and
“avoid that spirit of imperialism
which has so disturbed the world.”
“What America asks of Japan in
the Orient," he added, “is a fair
field for competition in trade and
no policy of aggression toward other
countries. We only ask that no po
litical control or special privilege
shall exclude us from entry to the
ports and to the trade of the Ori
ent."
Speaking of the future relations
of Japan and America, Mr. Burton
said, “every interest points to ami
ty. rather than discord."
UNREST IN EGYPT.
Australian cavalrymen wo return
ed home from Egypt in September
predict another rising in tht coun
try. They say that all Egypt is!
permeated with the revolutionary)
spirit and that at the first favor- j
able opportunity there will be a:
conflict on a big scale between the
Egyptians and the English soldiers.
According to the cavalrymen, the
Egyptians are determined upon self
jgovernment, and they think that
they will strike another blow for it
when all the Australian troops have
been repatriated.
The Australians believe that the j
Egyptian revolutionists have plenty j
of arms hidden away outside vil- i
iages. This belief is based upon ]
successful raids by the military to-1
ward the Sudan in search of con
cealed arms and munitions.
DYING TO MUSIC.
Vienna, ever a gay city, is now
more superficially gay than ever,
owing to the illicit traders who have
profited by the war and now are j
spending their ill-gotten gains, writes j
a newspaper correspondent from the I
Austrian capital. Vienna, says one ;
of these writers, is “dying to mu- j
sic." He describes the people as j
starved and “morally degenerate.”*
Describing the scenes in the dance j
halls and pavilions and gambling'
rooms, the writer says that nearly j
all the people demonstrate a des- 1
perata demand for youth and en- !
joyment, and adds that “this sickly j
whirl of enjoyment bordering on !
self-destruction” produces a fright- j
ful effect on the sober-minded peo-1
pie of the city.
I
Public amusements are provided j
in the Pleasure Park and Schoen- i
j
brunn. where are given plays for i
children, fireworks, Alpine dances,
Tyrolese clog dances by Berchtes
gaden peasants, acts from Iphegenie
and band concerts.
One writer says that all of this
’ striving for amusement is only a
mask for perplexity and inability to
return to older and saner life or
: evidence of heedlessness and in
I difference.

WOMEN 10 HELP
IN BRITISH EIGHT
ON PROFITEERS
LONDON.—Women are to have
jan important part in enforcing the
I anti-profiteering act under instruc
tions for its enforcement issued by
Sir Auckland Geddes, president of
the Board of Trade.
Local authorities in England,
Scotland, and Wales are instructed
to appoint local committees, two
members of which must be women,
to investigate all complaints arising
from the sale at retail of the arti
cles to which the anti-profiteering
act may be applied, from time to
time, by the Board of Trade.
Complaints must be heard in pub
lic, except in particular cases, and
books or documents must be treated
as confidential if the owner so de
sires.
The committee may either dis
miss the complaint, or if satisfied
the profit is unjust, require the
seller to repay the amount paid in
excess. The committee also may
cause the arraignment of the profit
eer in court, where he will be lia
ble on conviction to a fine of not
more than $1,000, or imprisonment
not exceeding three months, or both.
SEOUL, Korea.—Commenting on
the attempted assassination of Gov
ernor-Genera! Saito, the semi-official
Seoul Press expresses the opinion
that by this act the Korean agi
tators have “sealed their doom." The
paper says:
“If Korean malcontents think that
the assassination of a few heads of
the government-general of Korea
will cow Japan and make her relax
her told on Korea, they are indeed
mistaken. Japan is determined to
hold the peninsula at all cost and
will not let it go. no matter what
things Korean agitators may do.
They will now lose whatever sym
pathy they may have had among
a section of the people and have
sealed their doom.
