WORLDS BIGGEST CATASTROPHE
II 10 the Plague Epidemic Now on in
India.

The greatest catastrophe the world
has ever known is in progress at this
present moment, and the world recks
little or nothing OF It,
This is the plague epidemic in India,
which has now been raging for more
than IL years, and which, 80 far from
showing any tendency to die out,
keeps steadily increasing in intensity.
Thus, during the six weeks ending
May IL last, 4S1 ,S92 persons persisted
from il, or at the rate OF over so 900
deaths week
Nothing approaching the appalling
horror represented by these figures
has ever been recorded before. The
nearest 10 II was In 1905, when. dur.
ing the last week I'm March. the epi.
demic was responsible for 57.7O2
deaths.
No pestilence OF ancient or modern
times OF which we have any knowl.
edge has slain so many millions OF
people as has this one, and the end OF
which, mind, Is not yet.
The Great Plague" OF London, for
example, about which everybody has
heard, killed at the outside some 30.
600 people in seven months. or about
as many as are dying weekly 10 india
from disease which is identical with
~ In every respect.
The Black Death" is said 10 have
slain one-thlrd OF the then population
OF Englsnd-say 100000 persons
but this Is doubtful Even admitting
the correctness Of tho estimate. how.
ever. the mortality Of the present cpl.
demic In India has already more than
doubled this huge total.
What will be the end no man can
foresee or venture to forecast. II may
be that oil that has gone before, and
all that IS happening now, inexpres-
sibly awful though II f.. Is but the

On the other side or the track all were silent as one by one the bodies of the dead were laid In an ever increasing row until sixteen 1ife- less forms were resting side by side beneath the trees.
 As soon as practicable, the more ser- iously injured were laid on stretchers and taken by train to Hanover, N. H., where they were given medical and surgical treatment at the Margaret Hitchcock hospital at Dartmouth col lege. But before the train reached here on it's way to Hanover, eight more had

Paris All these are artists which are recognized among the best in Europe singing under contract. We have none If them at home. We refuse to recognize an American singer until he or she has made European reputa- tion. Here they are recognized from the start. In New York we hear year after year men whose voices are real ly no longer possessed of their fresh- ness.
 American artists do not have fair chance in their own country. Why one of the finest singers in Paris is an American, Charles King Clark. What could he do at home? Nothing, though a singer of the most exquisite art. You will find scattered about Europe scores of young Americans who came over here as students and were immediately picked up for small parts in operas here. They found recognition for their talent personally.
