fix the maximum remuneration of the

thousand crowns year (s9.600), and
the minimum at seven thousand two
hundred crowns ($1,440l. No at
tempt was made to reduce the wages
paid to the chorus girls and supers,

ployes.
The court officials argued that their
proposal was quite fair, as it was
only intended to give four perform

my Associated Press,


VENICE, Nov. 9.-Through the eff
forts of the Red Cross society, some
10000 letters and post cards from
Austro-liungarian war prisoners in
Russia and Seryia, have already been
delivered to their relatives and
friends at home. The correspondence
from both countries comes through
Roumania The letters, of course, are
read by the official censors in the
country where they are written. The
Austrian papers admit that the cor
respondence on the whole gives the
impression that the prisoners are be-
ing well treated In Russia the
wounded receive medical attention,
and grand duke visited them
in a hospital at Moscow Nearly all
the unwounded and those who have
recovered from their injuries are be-
ing sent to Omsk in Siberia. 1t is
thought that later they may be put
to work in the mines there, but moth
mite has been heard as to this.
For special benefit of the middle
class of unemployed in Vienna, the
Austrian women's franchise commit
tee have organized citizens war
dinners" A substantial meal of two
courses. nicely prepared and served,
/ is supplied for forty hellers (eight
cents). Dining rooms have been pro-
ylded at various centers where the
meal is served between noon and
half past one O'Clock daily; or the

DEAD LIE UNBURIED

Tampico, May 30.-DelaNed trans mission)-The health conditions in this city and in the district immediate ly surrounding it are nothng short of atrocous. Many of the federal dead still lie unburied in the trenches on the outskirts of the town and the air is continually darkened by the sable winged vultures circling over the spot.
 There are huge piles of refuse in the streets, serving as breeding places for countless numbers of dis ease-carrying mosquitoes and flies. The streets of Tampico present a startling contrast to those of Vera Grub, which under American rule, are kept cleans.
 Living conditions here cannot re- suit in anything but epidemics AL ready traces of smallpox and typhoid have been discovered. and the inhabi- tants of Tampico have been decimated by the ravages of an even more dread ed blood disease.
 When one witnesses such conditions and is forced to live among them, one cannot but long for the day when American physicians with American methods of sanitation and education will transform these post holes into healthful communities.
