First Bath in Eight Months.

DIR. Strong said that the people
marched by thousands to tents which
were erected by railroad sidings. and
in limited numbers were put through
a course of sanitary treatment. In
view of the existing conditions large
number of the people got the first bath
they had had in eight months in this
way.
DR.. Strong voices the high praise for
his associates in the hazardous under
taking and paid n special tribute to
Maj. Gen. Gorgas, surgeon general of
the United States Army, who offered
to go to Serbia with the commission
in the event he was needed.
Fortunately for the army" said DR..
Strong, this sacrifice on the part of
Gen. Gorgas did not become neces-
sary."

TELLS OF HARD FIGHT
IN nPHUS7SWEPT SERBIA
Dr.. 3. p. Strong Of Boston Reports to
American Red Cross Of Vast
Clean-Up Campaign.
Plague That Carried or Between
$4,000 and 10000 Lives
Now Stayed.

The hercuiean' work done by Ameri-
can experts during the last six months
in plague and cholera swept Serbia,
where between $4,000 and 10000 lives
were swept away by the epidemic, Is
described by DR.. Richard P Strong OF
Boston. who was director Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross sanitation commission.
DR.. Strong who has won world wide
fame as professor of tropical diseases
in Harvard University. was at RED
Cross headquarters making a report.
He does not believe that IL will be noe
essary for him to return to Serbia,
where he has left q part of the commits
sion to finish certain details OF the
cleanup campaign.
DR.. Strong said there had not been q
new case of typhus in three weeks
when he left Serbia recently. He ex-
pressed the opinion that sanitary dem
onstration work and construction OF
country probably would prevent re-
currence Of the epidemic, though Serbia
still was in great need Of medical men.
Epidemic severest in Years
Serbia. greatly weakened by war. was
far from prepared to battle with this
typhus epidemic, which. DR.. Strong
declares, was the most severe one OF
this disease encountered In modern
times.
Through the combined efforts Of many
workers and under the general super
vision Of the International health COM
mission, which was formed at Ntsh.
Serbia, of British. French. Russian.
Serbian and American sanitary forces,
and of which DIR. Strong was elected
medical director in active charge, the
epidemic rapidly declined
81 trust that the sanitary demonstra-
tions in the prevention of typhus which
have been given the Serbian people. and
the construction of the various disin-
fecting plants throughout the countr,
will prevent the occurrence of another
epidemic of typhoid such as we have
just witnessed and which destroyed be
tween 10000 and 10000 people" saiD

Medical Men Needed Greatly.

Serbia, however, is still i'm great need
of medical men. and if fighting is re
sumed she will not have a sufficienr
number Of physicians, surgeons and
nurses to care properly for her wound
ed alone
The American Red Cross SANITARY
commission which was sent to Serbia
last spring was financed by the Amer
lean Red Cross and the kockefellef
Foundation Jointly. Under DIR. strong
leadership the entire country of Serbia
was divided into fourteen sanitary dis
tricts and an organization was per-
fected whose machinery ran very
smoothly and effectively.
There was a house to house hunt Tor
typhus victims vino were promptly re-
moved to special wards in hospitals;
disinfection of victims and those with
whom they had come in contact, dis
infection of clothing, disinfection OF
houses, all systematically prosecuted.
Rigorous quarantine rules were estao-
lished and occasionally heroic meas
ures had to be resortsd TO-
Districts Evacuated En- Masse.
In some cases." said DIR. Strong. the
districts were SO badly affected that it
was necessary to evacuate them en-
masse and to destroy, by partially
tearing down and by fire. the majority
of the dwellings.
las typhus is conveyed from man
to man by vermin, the bathing and dis
infection of large numbers OF people
and immediate disinfect on of their
clothing was an important problem.
For this purpose sanitary trains. con-
sisting of three converted railroad
cars each were fitted up. One car con-
tanned a huge boiler, which supplied
the steam for disinfection Of the cloth
ing, In a second car fifteen shower
baths were constructed. A third car
was fitted out into huge autoclave,
into which steam could be turned In
two atmosphere pressures. In this
manner the vermin were immediately
destroyed and the clothes thoroughly
disinfected."

Fighting Over Wheat.

Chicago, Feb. 3.-An attempt was
made by bears to raid May wheat at
the opening of the Board of Trade
today, but failed.
They forced the option to drop
from $l.64 to S1.56A, which was SA
cents under yesterdays close, but
good buying developed and within fif-
teen minutes the market jumped up
ward to S1.651a, a new high mark.
July wheat opened at 1.41h, but
lacked support and sold down to
$1.40A.
Coincident with the sensational
market, notices were served on Off
cials of the Armour Grain Company,
j. Rosenbaum Grain Company and
Bartlett, Frazier & Co. that they must
appear before District Attorney Cline
with the records of transactions since
August !. The government wants to
learn whether the doubling of the
price of wheat in six months is le-
gitimate or due to manipulation.
May closed at S1.59A, which was
81 cents under yesterdays finish.

were whirring and at intervals of one
half minute each we rose in the air.
Immediately we took our course in
the direction of A. and tried to reach
greater height than the French, de-
termired to send them to the ground.
We were armed to the teeth, so to
say. We not only carried bombs, but
also machine guns.
an the neighborhood of A. we saw
the French machines cruising. Ma
chimes of the single and double-decker
type were flying around in open for
nation taking observations of our
positions. AS we were flying in close
formation, it seems they did not rec
oenize how many we were. So they
went for our first taube' in a body.
"But this little 'dovey' ducked and,
rising again, sent shot at one of
the French double-deckers which
seemed to put it's propeller out of
commission. At least we saw the

the last weeks" he writes. "We had
rain, snow and fog. The air was very
unfavorable for aviation. Gusts of
wind made it difficult to navigate and
gave one a feeling similar to sea-
sickness.
However, we kept up our practice
and tried to do as much damage as
possible to the enemy. Our oppon-
ents were very daring and | must
give them credit for the bravery shown
in their flights above our ranks. They
were not afraid of our batteries and
managed to escape the hail Of shots di-
rected at them.
$50 we decided We would have to
fight them in the air. We organized
a system of espionage and one day
we received word that five machines
of the enemy had arisen in the neigh
borhood of A. and were coming our
way. At a moments notice we got

"In the meantime we had made
ready for business and now began a
FIGHT of one machine against the
other. The French tried their best to
get above us, in order to drop bombs
upon us. But we frustrated their
game by following them up higher and
higher.
81 saw my colleague, Lieutenant NJ,
about 600 yards to my left, finish his
adversary. He must have received
serious injury, for he went down like
an arrow. The second one was also
put out of business very soon.
Then came my own and my COM
panion's turn. A powerful double
decker was firing furiously at us. A
great number of bullets cut holes in
our canvas wing, when my compan-
ion signaled to me with his arms to
make sharp turn to the left.
"Our apparatus came to an almost
perpendicular position sideways, and
then our machine gun began its dead

Revolving Senators Back.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Administra-
tion senator's today sought to persuade
the seven seeding senators to return
to the Democratic fold and drive
through the shipping bill as much
untrammeled by amendments as pos
sible. The immediate destiny of the
bill awaits the outcome of a confer
ence of Democratic leaders and the
seven who bolted Monday. Unless
they return to the fold it is probable
the Democrats will seek to postpone
a test vote on the bill until tomor-
row. -
1t is practically certain the bill
will be amended to place a time limit
on the term of operation of the gov
ernment corporation that the bill pro-
vides for. The Democrats also have
agreed that neutrality is to be safe
guarded by an amendment forbidding
the purchase of interned ships with
out the belligerents' consent.

DAN SOUTHWELL IS
SUED FOR DAMAGES

More litigation is in store for Dan
iel Southwell, ex-city marshal of I'm
perial, who recently was indicted by
the grand jury on charge of asking
and receiving bribes.
Stating that he suffered physical
Inconvenience, severe mental suffer
ing, humiliation, shame and public
disgrace, J. D. Washington, through
his attorney, d. l.. Ault, today filed
suit for 81 900, naming Dan South
well, George A. Long and AL w.
Holdzkom as defendants, the last two
as bondsmen. The complaint is based
upon an arrest made December II by
Deputy City Marshal Glenn A. Smith,
who was appointed by Southwell.
According to the complaint, Dan
Southwell, as principal; George A.
Long and AL w. Holdzkom, as sure
ties, on April Is, 1912, filed with the
city clerk of Imperial, an official bond
for $4,000, the condition of the obli-
cation being that Southwell "shall
well, truly and faithfully perform all
official duties now required of him by
law, and shall well, truly and faith
| fully execute and perform all duties of
such office of said marshal required
by any law to be enacted subsequently
to the execution of this bond, then this
obligation is to be void and of no eff
feet, otherwise in full force and eff
feet" 54arM
On November l, says the document,
Glenn A. Smith was appointed deputy
city marshal and assigned to night
duty. On December ~ Smith en-
tered Varney Brothers store, accost-
ed Washington and informed him that
he was deputy marshal and was MAX
j ing the arrest as such officer. Wash
ington interrogated Smith as to what
he was being arrested for.
Smith failed to inform Washington,
the complaint says, and told him that
il was none of his business, requesting
him "to come along with him."
Then, says the complaint, Smith
gripped Washington by the arm, led
him out upon the public streets and
conducted him to the city Jail, where
he was locked up with prisoners of
various nationalities and colors.
A short time later Smith returned
to the bastile and informed Washing
ton that he had made mistake.
Washington then was released.
