DEADLY DISEASES RAGING IN SERWA;;
 HUNDREDS DYING
Appalling Stories of Epi- denies Told By Investi- gators-Typhus Kill
 ing Physicians

London, March 1S--(6:50 D. m.)--Appal- lii.s stories of conditions in Servia were told here today by Ernest Bicknell and Henry James, Jr., of the war relief com mittee of the Rockefeller foundation, aft CT a tour of inspection through that coun- try
 Typhus, most deadly of the several epidemics in Servia, already has caused the death of 60 out of 400 native doctors, they said Foreign Red Cross units have suffered great losses. Two American and one British units have had to suspend regular work because of typhus. Nine American nurses and two physicians have contracted the disease.
 The commissioners went first to Nish, then to Belgrade and Uskub, the three most populous towns They learned that typhus, typhoid fever. cholera, smallpox. diphtheria, scarlet fever and recurrept fever Were existing in more or less epi- demic form. The largest number of cases is of recurrent fever, but that seldom is fatal. Typhus Is particularly deadly. Smallpox and diphtheria are diminishing.
 Tho Servians assert typhus was 1ntro- duced by Austrian prisoners of war who spread vermin which conveys the disease germ No figures are available on the number of cases, but the commissioners believe the mortality is so heavy as to lring the situation within their purview.
 Physicians and sanitary experts are needed but unless they are fully equipped with medicine and with furnishings for their living quarters it would be unwise for them to go to Servia because they probably would contract the disease
 Mr. James said the situation could be dealt with effectively only by joint or ganization of medical units operating for strict sanitary control Some plan must also be devised for placing Austrian pris- oners in camps Prisoners now are per- nitted to wander about the country.
