THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DESTITUTE IN SERBIA

New York. April 29.-The Rookie
feller foundation war relief commits
sion made public Wednesday night
a report on destitution and disease
in Serbia in which it is stated that
on March 10 probably from $4,000
to 10000 persons were suffering form
typhus in Serbia and that this and
other epidemics were swiftly en-
veloping the entire nation" The
report was transmitted from Berlin.
Cholera was at that time expected
with the arrival of warm weather and
no preparations had been made 10
combat it, the report said. Prob
ably 100000 persons were destitute.
Neither the Serbian government, alb
sorbed in the war, nor the people
themselves were able to control the
situation, which the commission de-
scribed as not only menace to the
health of the Serbian people but OF
the whole world"
IL was upon this report that the
Rockefeller foundation at the invita-
ton of the Serbian government, join
ed with the American Red Cross in
sending to Serbia the American sani-
tarv commission which left here
April 3 under the leadership OF DR..
Richard p. Strong of the Harvard
medical school. The commission
proposes as its first step in con-
trolling the epidemic the isolation OF
the infected.
