/ SPECIAL Cable to The Washington Herald.
London, March 22.-Sir Thomas Upton
who has just returned from Siberia
where he took British Red Cross hos.
pital mission on his yacht Erin. tonight
gave an account of the heroic work done
there by the American doctors and the
nurses in combating the terrible cpl
demic of typhus which is raging
| throughout Serbia.
, To use Sir Thomas Lipton's words:
| 1t is a plague such as the world sell
dom has known, and all the benevolence
of humanity isrequired to deal with it.
incidentally, Sir Thomas told of the
death of DIR. James Francis Donnelly, OF
New York. which. he thinks. well typifies
| the noble work being done by the Ameri-
| cans.
ION our arrival at GhevkGeli we
were met at the station by DR.. Dom
nelly, whom had known in New
York. Having two hours to wait. we
accepted DIR. Donnellys hospitality tc
look over his hospital. ON our way
| to the hospital we learned il had been
| n tobacco factory which had been hur-
riedly converted into shelter for the
sick. The staff consisted of six Ameri-
can doctors. including Drs. Donnclly
| Hodge. Davidson and Gardner, and
| twelve American nurses.
I,4OO down Win Iypnus.
1T was not a large building. but
packed in it were i.iOO patients, the
majority of whom were suffering from
typhus.
There We're no beds and very few
mattresses. The patients were huddled
| together on the floor. many of them
| dying and some dead, with scarcely
any clothing to cover them.
"Donnelly, who WAS a fine specimen
of manhood, spoke OF the hard work, but
said he was very happy in being able to
do something to alleviate their suffer
| ings He spoke of the friGhtful conditions
neutrality-suspicious. which any visitor
| could judge for himself.
I'VE then went to another small build
ing adjoining. in which the hospital staff
| lived. There we saw nine OF the twelve
| American nurses lying desperately Ill
| with typhus. There also two of the six
American doctors were down with the
same diSeas sc.
Before leaving Donnelly told me he
was afraid the hospital would be alta cked
by the enemy and asked me il l could
give him American and Red Cross flags
to fly over the building. 1 told him he
| could have the two largest We had on
| board, and | sent to Salonika to get
| them.
When We left two out Of the three re-
