Immense Sums Spent
for Polish Refugees

after the fall of Warsaw. The ex-
penditures of the Petrograd govern
ment to this end have already reached
Sc, 500, 900 and the total will probably
reach s50.o00,0O0.
1t appears that the government at
Petrograd is arranging to send large
numbers of these refugees-aside from
those distributed throughout the rural
districts of European Russia-to Cen
trail Asia and to Siberia, where lands
are allotted, it being evident that many
of these cannot be returned to their
former homes in Poland. Patriot lead
ers OF the Poles are displeased at this
manifestation of Russian policy.
The Poles, in fact. have waited in
vain the promised reforms of the grand
duke, while on the other hand those
who are subjects of Austria have per-
ceived that the civil authorities that
followed the invading armies, have
treated them as conquered subjects,
Nevertheless, they finished by per-
ceiving in high official circles at Petro-
grad that by the policy of temporization

Yellow Fever

The Star of December 4, 1865, is this
item on the subject:
The funeral of the late Isaac B. Fort,
son of Rev. w. S. Fort, took place at
his fathers residence yesterday after
noon. Mr.. Fort was a third assistant
engineer in the navy, and had arrived
here in the Stonewall, from which ship
he was removed Friday evening, being
then very sick with fever, which was
accompanied by symptoms pronounced
by the medical officers on board to be
yellow fever This, we believe, is the
only case of death that has occurred
among the Stonewalrs complement
since their arrival here, although one
other died in Havana. Some of the
crew were not in good health when
they left Annapolis to join the Stone
wall, but when the vessel went out of
commission Saturday there was no
sickness among them. The Stonewall
has been hauled out in the stream
That she might be thoroughly venti-
lated and cleanSed before she is thrown
open to visitors. This order was given
previous to the sickness of Mr.. Fort, it
being deemed necessary by the depart
ment as a precautionary measure, as
the Stonewa1 had been lying in the
port of Havana during most of the
summer. 1t is reported that a fireman
had died on board and that others are
sick with fever, but such is not the
case"

LONDON. Aug. 1.-THE Cabinet has

grown food in 1916 submitted by the
food supplies committee OF the Board
OF Agriculture. The committees chief
problem was to find means for sowing
an increased amount of wheat acreage
in the United Kingdom. Such a course
necessarily would involve the plough
ing and sowing of pasture ground, a
speculation which the farmers are some
what fearful of lest whea, drop TO an
unremunerative price in 1916.
The committee therefore has recon-
mended that the Government guarantee
a price which will make sucn a venture

has recommended that the Government

port the Daily Mai says 1t Incorporates
suggestions of immense importance. Leg
~islation based on the recommendations
probably will be submitted to Parlia-
ment when IL reassembles next month.
