AWAIT APPEARANCE
OF CHOLERA AT FRONT

London. Jan. 2O-(Correspondence of
The Associated Press) 1t Is only mat
ter of time in the opinion of physicians
who have visited the battle front in
France and Belgium, when cholera will
make its appearance among the armies
in Western Europe and perhaps cross
the channel into England. The men fight
ing in the East, notably the Austrians,
have suffered from cholera, more or less
epidemic. throughout the campaign.
With the coming Of spring thaw in
France and Belgium the thousands Of
dead lying in shallow graves will rem
der a vast field of operations highly I'M
sanitary, menacing the health of those
whose powers of resistance have been
broken down or weakened by the strain
of unwholesome trench warfare.
Moreover, the Germans have from time
to time shifted forces from east to west
and vice versa. In view of this, it will
be surprising il cholero does not follow
these shifts. The Germans have been
criticized for burning their Dead but
even English physicians are now in
clined to admit that this after all Is
the most humane method, in that body
once incinerated Is no longer a menace
to the living.

MEREDITH, n. H., MAN
DRAGGED TO Death

Meredith, n. H, Jan. 31.-Eugene S.
Hutchins, a farm hand in the employ
Of Mrs. Eva Wiggin Of this town, was
killed on the ice of Meredith Bay be-
tween and o'clock Saturday after
noon.
Hutchins was driving a pair Of
horses hitched to a traverse sled,
which was loaded with cord wood. AS
he was approaching Meredith Village
the horses swerved out of the main
travelled highway toward the ice,
throwing Hutchins, who was stand
ing on the forward roller, on the
tongue of the sled.
He lost one of the reinS and when he
tried to secure it the horses ran, drag
ging him fully half mile across the
ice. Witnesses Of the accident fastened
to his assistance, but he was dead
when picked up, his skull being frac-
tured in several places.
The team had recently been used in
drawing ice and this fact is given as
reason for the horses starting to-
ward the lake when they did.
Hutchins was a popular young man
and had been in Mrs. Virgins employ
for three years. He leaves a father,
Samuel Hutchins of Lakeport, n. H.,
and three brothers.

London, Jan. 31-t6.50 p. M)-The Of
fer Of the American Commission for
Relief in Belgium to purchase the Chi
cago cargo of the steamship Wilhelmina
has attracted wide attention in England.
It is regarded generally as a possible
happy ending to the Wilhelmina Incl
dent which threatens to arouse the re-
sentiment Of the British public. The re-
port that the steamship Dacia would not
sail has eased the tension so far as con-
Germs that phase Of the controversy over

now centers on the ship purchase bill,

commission is not able to purchase the
Wilhelmina's cargo, 1t unquestionably
will be bought by the British govern
ment. It is generally understood that
the British authorities will not permit
shipments Of food to Germany because
Of the recent action Of the German gov

and SEC. meyer

New York, Jan. 29.-The necessity for
an adequate navy, kept at high point
of efficiency, was argued by Franklin
D. Roosevelt, assistant secretary Of the
navy, and George Won L. Meyer, former
secretary of the navy, the principal
speakers at a luncheon of the Repub-
lican Club Saturday
There Is no harm in saying that our
navy Is third largest today, and that
France and Japan are progressing" said
Mr.. Roosevelt. THE future Of the navy
is in your hands and the hands Of your
congressman. but unfortunately many
people do not know who their congress-
men are. If we had not an adequate
navy, it would mean the loss of Hawaii,
American Samoa, Porto Rico, the Pan

Former Secretary Meyer called atten-
ton to lack of battle cruisers. Japan

disposed to treat on such terms he
believed the other conditions would
be tolerable. Perhaps it would be ne
cessary to leave the French part of
Alsace to France and to give up some
Polish provinces to a new Poland, but
If Russia would relinquish a province
and Austria a part of Galicia to Po-
land, no real sacrifice for Germany
would be entailed
Austria would then leave the rest
or Galacia to Russia and Bukowina to
Rumania, and if necessary a part of
Bosnia and Herzegovina to Serbia
and Montenegro.
THE leading German statesmen ad-
mitted that Baron Burian's intentions
were excellent and, to some extent,
justified by circumstances. but they
declared that such a peace would be
more ruinous to Germany than a to-
tai defeat. Disarmament of Europe,
they contended, would mean that
Great Britain would be able to tryan-
ize the whole world and Germany
would have to sacrifice a chance for
safeguarding her commerce

TROOPS SENT TO
RELIEVE kOEN|CSBERC

London, January 31-Germany is
alarmed at the new sweep OF
the Cars armies upon Goenigs-
berg. Endorsements are being
hurried into East Prussia and hasty
preparations are being made to halt
the advance of the Russian legions,
now less than So miles from the fort
ress of Koenigsberg itself.
This was the news brought here Sat
urday in dispatches from Amsterdam
and Copenhagen. Amsterdam reports
that several train loads of Germans are
moving across Belgium from the
Flanders battlefront to re-enforce
Won Hindenburg in the east. These
regiments were part Of the fresh
forces that reached the fighting line
only few days ago in expectation Of
a new German offensive from Arras
to the Belgian seacoast.
From Paris comes the report that
the Germans have renewed their in
fantry attacks upon the British forces
at La Bassee, and are fighting des-
perately. The assaults thus far have
been repulsed with heavy losses. The
lighting is regarded as move to
centre attention on La Bassee while
other German points are being weak
ened by the withdrawal Of troops to
meet the Russian advance in tho
east.
In military circles the Russian march
upon koenigsberg is regarded as a mas
ter stroke. The grand duke, it is be-
lieved, seized his opportunity while Ger
man forces were being withdrawn from
roland and sent into Austria to begin
sudden drive toward the gulf on Dan
Zig. Capture of Koenigsberg, military
experts pointed out. would result in
early success for second Russian army
menacing the Prussian fortress of Thorn
and eventually force the retirement Of
