dcmic Of plague which has been rag
ing in Odessa for five months had its
origin in a curious way. An Austrian
vessel arrived at Odessa with one OF
its crew dead. The body was buried
in the Catholic cemetery. During the
ceremony the Austrian flag was hoist

At the conclusion of the service tn"
flag was carried away by two s"amon
of the ship, who. on the way to the
quay to board the vessel, stopped at
several saloons. In each place they
laid down the flag while getting their
drinks. Shortly aftcrward the two
scamen died of the disease. and it was
discovered that people in every public
house they had entered We're i'll OF the
plague. This has led to the belief that
the flag contained plague bacilli in its
folds.
