Mcintyre ut the local Salvation Army

He telephoned from Quebec only a few
minutes after his father had received a
telegram from "A Canadian Pacific agent

the list OF survivors. Kenneth Mcintyre
said that he had jus; reached Quebec
without money and without clothes and

The young man verified the report pre-
viously received at Salvation Army head

Canadian Salvation Army had persisted.
He told his father that, as far as he
knew. nobody above the rank OF Major

Commander Eva Booth paid a high
tribute to the Salvation Army members
who went, down with the Empress OF Ire
land at a mass meeting OF Salvationists
last night at the army headquarters prior
to their sailing for London to-day.
Miss Booth several times had to inter-
rupt her remarks because OF her emotion.
She had sent kilograms TO members OF the
army stan In Canada. she said. and had
not yet received any absolute list or the
number of comrades who we're lost
although there is always hope. for some
may have escaped on RATS or by clinging
to floating pieces OF wood, yet fear that
the number OF those who were lost was
very large" she said. II knew most OF
them, 1 had worked with them and they
were good men and women, through and
through.
II recall remark by Commissioner
Rees, who is probably lost, when l was In
Canada last. The elevator We were on

DISEASE MORE DANGEROUS THAN

That disease, especially in the form of
typhoid is far more to be feared than
bullets in a war of any length Is unan-

ures; and It requires little effort of mem
DRY for people in this country to recall
the facts Of our skirmish with Cuba
Now that this dreaded scourge has brok en-
out in the European armies, few figures
relating to other wars are taken from an
interesting article In the special war issue
of the scientific American,
The fire of the enemy Is by no means
the only risk to which the soldier is sub
jected. Where large bodies OF men are
"a thered into small quarters there is al
ways the danger OF disease, Before anti
typhoid vaccination was introduced ty-
photd fever rivaled the enemy's fire In
the terrible toll 1t took among soldiers,
In the Franco Prusslan war in the year
1870 there were 70, 600 cases OF typhoid
fever In the German army, Out OF this
number there were 1000 deaths In the
Boer war the British army suffered from
typhoid fever to the extent of 81 900 case
Of which 5000 died. During the war with
Spain the United states army was raw
aged with typhoid fever. In 1898 there
were 90 72S cases and 1850 deaths among
los 900 men. In other words, one man In
every Ave contracted typhoid fever. Even
among the troops which never left the
United States, but remained in the va ri.
Gus camps at home, one man In every six
came down with the disease, In 1898 nine
tenths of the deaths which occurred
among the troops in the United States
were caused by typhoid fever"

POLISH SETTLEMENT IN TEXAS.
(From the Boston Transcript)


Texas, it is interesting to know in this
connection, contains the oldest Polish
settlement in the United States. establish
ed at Parma Mayra. Karnes county. 1855
To-day Polish farmers are found in all
parts OF the State; the principal and
better known colonies being located in
Falls Fayette Grimes. Karnes, Robert
son, Washington and Wilson counties
They are chiefly cotton planters. about
one half owning their farms. and they
can usually produce a larger yield per
acre than the average native farmer
BY their thrift and integrity they have
benefited all communities where tN~v
have settled. No prejudice exists against
them In the State
There are also In Texas probably $1,000
Bohemians engaged principally in asri-
culture. These people are found scatter
ed through so counties. More than 60 per
cent. own their property, and over 80
per cent of that number have their
holdings free of debt. Their farms vary
In size from 40 to 100 acres. averaging
about 100 Like the Poles, they are chief
ly cotton planters, but unlike the native
farmers they produce enough trucking
stuff to supply the demands OF the family
and raise sufficient feed to provide for
their live stock.
The Bohemiaus and Poles have achiev-
ed this success in Texas by an intelligent
and persistent cultivation of the soil, for
there has been little outside employment
and practically no development Of supple
mentary industries. They exercise the
privileges OF suffrage with intelligence
and a number have held public office in
the counties and under the State
