American Doctors in Serbia
Stricken by Scourge.
Only Austrian Officers In Prison Seem
Able to ReveI Amid Record
Breaking Epldemic-Thou-
sands of Victims.

Nish, Serbia.-Serbia at this time
is the most melancholy figure in the
war and the most heroic. AS one
comes up from Saloniki, the one port
through which outside aid for Serbia
can enter. rumors rife in Athens are
verified at Ghevgheli, the first frontier
town. The most violent epidemic of
typhus in history is taking its toll
of country that already has suffered
too much. Exactly one-half the staff
of the American hospital at Ghevgheli
was found to be suffering from the fe-
yer. And no wonder A mission of
four doctors and eight nurses under
Dr. e. F. Butler found on it's arrival
more than thousand wounded in the
old tobacco factory at that place, and
the number has since increased to
$500, with no running water, and any
water at all five blocks away. 1t is
impossible to convey either to Ameri-
cans or to those familiar with Red
Cross work on the western front. any
idea of what besieges Serbia.
"Oh, yes" said one CHEEKY little
American nurse from Kansas City,
I'VE are used to having our wounded
arrive and to find maggots when we
open the temporary dressings. We
are used to horror after horror. But
with surgery we can do something
With typhus it is different. 1t is a
lice given disease and there are al
ways lice where there is crowding and
the primitive notions of sanitation
that prevail in Serbia. In crowded
hospital like this there is no human
way of fighting it, no way to segre-
gate"
In the hospital the men lay close
together on the bare floor or on straw
stuffed mattresses. AS any doctor
knows, straw mattresses are Elysian
fields for insects.
At Uskub, where two of Lady Pa
gets mission have died Of typhus, af-
fairs were found to be no better.
There reports of conditions farther
north began to come through. In Val
jevo alone there are nearly 1000 cases
of typhus. More than forty Serbian
doctors have succumbed in the last
two months and nobody has yet COM
puted the number of patients who
have died.
In Nish, at the second reserve
camp for Austrian prisoners, men have
been dying like flies, and the last of
the Austrian doctors was stricken
three days ago. Needless to say, in
country overwhelmed with its own
problem its prisoners fare no better
than the rest
Only the Austrian officers seem to
enjoy any comfort. That they are not
altogether miserable is evidenced by
the fact that on the day Sir Thomas
Upton and group of friends went
out to visit the informed officers only

logue to inform customers just what
they are actually buying. Alaska bear,
for example, is the best Minnesota

BELL-HoRSE is A NECESSITY
British Offices in Charge of Remounts
Recognize the Value of the
Leader.

The necessary part of every army
mule-train is the bell-horse, says a
British contemporary. He carries no
burden save great responsibility and
a clear-sounding bell, and all mules
destined to serve his majesty are
trained to follow him. A white animal
is nearly always selected, as for some
reason or other mules follow this color
most faithfully Pack-mules become
very much attached to the bell-horse
of their train, and refuse to move
either forward or backward If he is
not leading. For this reason the death
of a bell-horse is a great calamity
On one occasion in an Indian frontier
war the whole mule-train came to a
standstill owing to the death of the
bell-horse. Nor would anything in.
duce the animals to move till one of
the officers substituted another white
horse in the dead ones place. On
seeing, as they thought, their old ia
vorite in his place once more, all the
mules moved forward to greet him,
and only by driving the fraudulent
bell-horse forward quicker than the
mules could follow was the deception
kept up.

Capacity of Love.

So immense is the capacity of love
In the human heart that nothing can
satisfy it fully, adequately, and per-
manently except God. who is I'M
changeable, infinitely lovely. and per
feet. Show me man who, without
FORGETTING any just privilege of human
affection, really loves God, and will
point him out to you as one who is
essentially happy. For another who
fixes his affections upon human things.
no matter how excellent they may or
seem to be, but who does not love God,
real happiness is utterly impossible.
And it is for this reason that st. Au-
gustine exclaimed: Thou hast made
US for thyself, o God! and our hearts
cannot rest until they rest in thee. -

FACTS FOR NATURE LOVERS
Almost Numberless Varieties of AMI
mails and lnsects-Different
Species Found Yearly.

How many different animals are
there in the world?
No one knows exactly. but as nearly
as can be estimated from the re-
searches of our best fauna experts
and fauna means animals-it is said
that there are about 100000 OF them,
different kinds. OF course, there were
nearly as many different kinds great
many years ago, but they we're not
known. In 1880 man named Gunther
made list of all the known animal
species at that time, and his figures
were only 1883.
Another careful list of the different
kinds of animals in the world was
made in 1881. At that time we had
discovered 311,563 different kinds
Scientists and explorers discover
many different species of birds and
animals every year. Mr.. Roosevelt and
his party discovered some new ones
this year down in Brazil.
How many kinds of bugs are there?
BY that / suppose you mean insects.
Well, of course, there are ever and
ever so many more insects than ami
mails. In 1905 Mr. Sharper, learned
naturalist, made list of 250,000 diff
ferent insects and he declared at that
time that he vas certain he had not
listed more than one-tenth of all the
insects in the world If this is true,
and Mr. Sharper probably knows, it
means that there are at least 100000
different kinds of insects in the world.

expression and usually signifies very
