Greater Prevalence Abroad Affects
Quarantine Restrictions Here.
Washington The United States
public health service has collected all
available information regarding health
conditions in foreign ports in order
that needless restrictions shall not be
imposed upon vessels and that active
measures may be taken when neces
sary. In a review Of the world dis
tribution of cholera, yellow fever,
plague and typhus fever, just issued
by the United States public health
service, it is pointed out that in the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1915, chol-
era was present in Austria Hungary,
Ceylon, China, Egypt, Dutch East In
dies, India, the Philippine Islands,
Russia, the Straits Settlements, the
Balkan territory, Germany and Indo-
China.
The amount of cholera reported in
Russia during the six months ended
Dec. %, 1914, and the absence this
year of reports from that country, save
from Petrograd during the six months
following, indicate that the disease
has been more or less widely prevalent
there. In the six months ended June
25, 1915, cholera was reported to be
present in the prison camps in Ger
many in twenty-three localities, in ST.
leSia and in Brandenburg POSen and

these cases were traceaole to the seat

of acknowledgements, has had year to
lose its original ardor, the task is just
as big as ever.
Sixty thousand tons of food have to
be sent every month and over 100000
people fed who have no means to pay
for anything. This means minimum
of 100000 a month to be raised, and
it is not expected the commissions
present funds can last much longer.
In one respect the work will be much
easier than it was last year. The or
ganization of the commission is COM
plete and we'll nigh perfect. Its COM
mittee has become accustomed to
smooth and harmonious cooperation,
and its agents have been established
in every center Of distribution. The
problem thus is merely that of getting
the food instead of getting it and then
getting it to the people of Belgium.
The diplomatic obstacles which made
the early work particularly arduous
also do not now exist. All of the bel
ligerent nations have recognized the
commission as the medium to supply
food to noncombatants and have
agreed not to modest it's shipments. AS
Bates put it, the commission has be-
come established as an Emporium Inn
perio."
But there have been many births in
Belgium, and, although many adults
doubtless have died, baby is some
what more difficult to feed than his ia
Their.
The people of Belgium who are able
TO pay for food of course have not
been receiving gratis their supplies
from the commission. There are about
5.5OO,OOO Of these. AS there is little
other food for sale In Belgium, they
have to buy their supplies from the
commission. They each have had to
procure them ticket emitting them
to buy only a certain amount-precise'
lly the same as that given to those who
have no money,
The amount is about ten ounces OF
bread and dried beans and rice ana
prunes, and others basic foods day
