FUDGE PARTY IN FEVER WARD
Two Nurses Dismissed; Others
Threaten to Strike.

Newark, n. Jan. 2-'Typhoid fudge"
has become an issue in the Newark City
Hospital. Fifty nurses threaten to strike
because of this new candy which Is said
to be sweeter than its name implies.
The trouble started when six nurses
held fudge party in the typhoid ward
of the hospital. Four were suspended
and two had their caps taken away. A
seventh, who was on picket duty, but
who seems to have been asleep at her
post, since the fudgers were caught. has
been placed on probation.
The nurses say the typhoid ward was
a fine place for a fudge party as there
had been no patients there for three
months prior to their revel. The other
nurses say they will strike unless the
suspended ones are reinstated

Russian Railways Are
Wider Than German and
Worry InUdding Teutons

Berlin. Germany, March e7--As Ger
man forces press on into Russia, the
problem OF adjusting German standard
gage railroad coaches to the wider
Russian tracks arises Everywhere
else in Europe the rails are 1875 milIi-
meters apart, but on the Russian roads
they are 1924 millimeters wide.
For some time certain cars and
trains plying between Germany and
Russia have been equipped with inter
changeahle axlss which at the border
can be shifted in a few minutes. but
the majority OF the German rolling
stock is not 50 fitted, especially the
passenger cars
The shift from standard TO broad
gage is accomplished by shunting cars
travelling Russia-ward from the stand
ard track into a sort Of turn table,
out OF which lead the broad gage rails.
In this table or pit the German ear is
lacked up by means Of four auxiliary
cars. one at each corner. the STANDARD
gage wheels are removed and in their
places are attached sets OF wheels
fitted TO the broad gage tracks. The
auxiliary cars, operating under their
own power, then propel the German
coaches along until the Russian tracks
are reached

is daily growing more urgent, in the
opinion Of Percy Alden. member Of par
lament, who has represented the Brit

refugee question since The beginning
Of the war.
The number Of Belgian refugees in

of $1,000 men. 69. goo women. and $4,000

My belief is that the next step
should be the building Of some thou
sands Of wooden huts, each containing
three rooms. which could be construct
ed BY the refugees themselves. and
could be taken TO pieces at the end OF
the war and transferred 10 various
parts Of Belgium TO be used as dwell
ings until permanent homes can be
built. The building Of the huts could
be made TO provide work for many
thousand refugees. I calculate that at

adequate launching OF this scheme 1t
