The Ghizel Fever.

Of all Russia's present dangers the greatest
is the seemingly unavoidable necessity Of
keeping her army OF occupation encamped in
Roumeia and on the unwholesome plains of
the Lower Danube during the mereiless heat
of Turkish summer. No one who has wit
messed the dreadful effects of the "Ghizel'
fever can think without shudder of the null
tiplied horrors which must Inevitably fol-
low the letting loose Of such a seourge In the
midst of an army numbering upwards of
100000 men. Strolling through Russian camp
some hot breeZeless summer morning, you
encounter a young subaltern, frank and merry
as school boy, who offers you cigar
cite, and talks gleefully Of the gaieties
promised him by the st. Petersburg season
when the campaign shall be over. Presently
you notice the round, ruddy face beginning
to look pale and pinched, and a filmy dimness
creeping over the clear, bright eyes. Then
he lays himself down heavily, and instantly
starts up again as If unable to rest. Next
morning his skin II fiecked with black spots
like stains of dried blood; and then follow
overpowering thirst and headache an intense
longing for sleep, blended with torturing
restlessness, till, after several days Of UNI
ceasing agony, the sufferer falls into heavy
stupor, which is the sure forerunner to death.
Such has been the end of many brave man;
and the deadly region that witnessed the de-
struction of $4,000 Russians in 1929, may yet
see the same tragedy repeated on still
wider scale.

the erasure of names from the registra'
