were driven off to interior towns in a
penniless plight.
Accordingly, the American embassy
and the American consulates. where
there were such, became flooded with
appeals for funds. Charge Wilson and
MS assistants, Jones and Furness,
worked day and night over the mass
OF cable and mail correspondence that
grew from day to day. A bureau of
inquiry was established, apart from
the embassy proper, in charge Of Karl
liukman, a Swede temporarily en-
ploycd. and soon funds were being
dispatched in every direction at the
rate of from 10000 to $4,000 dubles

which began arriving from relatives OF
the detained ones. Throughout the
country Schuyler organized the civil
prisoners themselves by having one Of
their number chosen as the resnonsi.
bic head Of each individual group
charged with transmitting details of
the requirements of the members. To
this responsible head funds were sent
for relief.
This responsibility had formerly rest
cd on the local Russian police authori-
Ties, ana Schuyler complimented them
warmly for the generally conscientious
and efficient discharge of their IN
sought duties. 1t is an additional trib-
ute to them that in several instances
German members Of certain groups
have written, asking that the chief Of
their own selection be removed and the
Russian police official be replaced.
In the midst Of all these operations
came Ambassador Marye. He found
Secretary Wilson running things in a
highly commendable way and was sat.
ished to leave practical control of the
relief work in his hands until Scuvler
arrived.
Before leaving for home Scbuv,or
made a tour of the military camps as
lar TO the southeast as the Turkestan
frontier, returning through the Trans
caspian and Caucasian country. TIe
travelled 5000 miles. inspected eight
camps containing approximately So
zoo prisoners. On his return, he said
that on the whole, the prisoners were
well fed. well housed and we'll clothed.
Their daily rations were three pounds
OF black bread, half a pound of meat
unlimited tea and a small quantity of
sugar, besides a substantial SOM
which, after astronomical test. he
pronounced equal to that served him

AMERICAS OPPORTUNITY
TO BECOME DRUG AND
MEDICAL CENTER OF WORLD

Of the medicine to offset the disease.
And under the present circumstances
and shortage, he believes, no country
has a SUFFICIENT quantity on hand to
be able to dose it's patients with the
necessary liberality when there has
been great delay.
In contrast to the shortage Of Sc.
runs, DR.. Vanderkleed finds that all
the nations seem to be fairly we'll sup
piled with the necessary vaccines-
which can be and are being pre-
pared in great quantities and in a
comparatively short time.
The time difference between making
the serums and the vaccines is due to
the essential difference in the charac-
teristics Of the two medicines. The
vaccine is but quantity Of the dead
bacteria Of q given disease which,
when injected into the blood, causes
no harm but does stimulate the growth
of live anti-bodies that ward off the
disease if it comes. The serum, on
the other hand, takes from three to
six months in preparation, and con-
sists of a quantity of live anti-bodies
that have been painstakingly brought
up to a standard strength. They are
created by innoculating sound and
healthy horses with increasingly large
doses Of bacteria of a given disease.
The animal, less subject than any
other to the disease, gradually and in
creasingly generates a powerful anti
toxin, and when in the proper state Of
health will eventually yield from three
TO four quarts of the serum.
Germany and Austria, DR.. Wander
kleed finds, manufacture great ouanti-
ties of typhoid vaccine, and have on
hand plenty Of vaccine for cholera
plague and other diseases to which the
soldiers may be liable. Following the
example of the United States. these
countries have during the war intro
duced compulsory vaccination against
typhoid in their armies
With the single possible exception of
cocaine, Germany at least possesses all
the opiates she needs. There are GUAM
titles Of chloroform, ether, morphine
and opium on hand. The cocaine is
coming in from New York. which Gets
it in turn from South America.
To some extent also there is a mar
ket here, DR.. Nanderkleed believes. for
chemicals out of which can be made
materials fer combating the insect
pest that is such a factor in the East.

EMINENT DEPTS.

Thousands of Women's Names

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
London. April 22.-All departments
Of the British government service are
officially thrown open to women for
the first time in a circular issued by
the cabinet through the Board Of
Trade. The circular urges all gov
eminent departments to replace,
wherever possible, men employees Of
military age with women, and offers
to obtain suitable women substitutes
for various clerical and other posi-
tons through the Government Labor
Exchanges.
The circular follows up a recent
War Office statement appealing for
the release Of more government en-
ployes for the front. In this state
ment Lord Kitchener was quoted: Il
confidently look to the heads of de-
partments to arrange by finding suit
able substitutes, for the necessary per-
mission to be given freely to their
subordinates who are prepared to
join the colors."
The Board Of Trades circular points
out that "a large number OF women
clerks have registered at the Labor
Exchanges. and considerable numbers
of these have already been engaged by
certain government departments. In
addition, a special register is being
compiled Of women who have signified
their willingness to undertake service
during the continuance Of the war,
to release men for combatant duties.
This register already contains $4,000
names, and will supply large number
Of women qualified to take the place
Of officials who may be released"
The Board Of Trade has itself re-
leased over 1000 officials for~the army,
and in large number Of cases their
places have been taken by women.
1t remains to be seen what reply
will be made by the heads Of the va.
rious government departments to the
Board Of Trades circular. Many OF
these departments have hitherto
drawn line very rigidly against any
women employees. All Of them viii

America but knows enough to grasp

c. z. Vanderkleed, chief chemist OF

been touring Europe for several
months.
This possible leadership can come,
however, only in case American chem
lists develop the ability to make syn

has done, out Of the raw and crude
materials that come largely from
South America and Central America,

along this line. he believes, she will be
able to compete for all time with the

DR.. Nanderkleed'S travels through
Germany, Austria, Holland and Den
mark have shown him that there is a
scracity of serums in practically all
of the countries at war, as well as a
scarcity of some opiates. There is con-

Practically every laboratory in Eu-
rope, he finds, is manufacturing to the
limit of its capacity serums for teta-

three of the great war scourges. Each
country, however, is hampered by two
things-the length of time that is nee
essary to produce serums Of the reQui-
site strength, and universal short
age of the high grade horses used in
the manufacture of the medicines.

FRUIT, VEGETA-
BLES AND PRICES
At HAMBURG

(Associated Press Correspondence
Hamburg, April 1s.-Statistics show
that Hamburg. which almost alone
among the large cities of Germany,
supplies itself with fruit and vegeta-
bles through a single. central market
at which producer meets wholesaler
and goods change hands at officially
regulated prices. is buying less than
it did a year ago. though paying in
February more than it did for more
food in February, 1914.
In February 1914, 16,628 persons
sold 16.600,000 Kilograms of food for
100000 marks. In the same month
this year 13,500,000 Kilograms for
13,5O0.000 Kilograms for 100000
marks-an increase Of 100000 marks
for more than three million Kilograms
less weight. The number Of buyers
dropped by 900.
In March. 1914. 1864 persons sold
100000 Kilograms Of food for $780,
900 marks. In the same month this
year 1904 persons sold only 10,500 900
Kilograms for 100000 marks. The
number of buyers dropped over by
over 5000.
Food reaches the Hamburg central
market by ship-up and down the Elbe
and the nearby canal-by train and by
wagon load. A comparison Of the fig
ures covering the number of freight
cars to arrive during January, Feb
ruary and March, 1914. shows an in
crease from sc in 1914 to $50 in 1915,
and a decrease in ships from 673 to
564. There was an even greater de-
crease in the number of producers who
bring their wares in by wagon, to
counterfeit the increase in freight cars.

1t has been for years the aim Of va
rlous Women'S organizations to obtain
from the government an equal oppor-
tunity for both sexes in the govern
ment employ. The Board of Trade
circular is regarded as an official dec
laration that for the period of the war
at least the barrier of sex will Have
no sanction from the Cabinet
Sylvia Pankhurst, the Militant Suf-
fragette, has had a clash with Lloyd
George and the Liberal government
over the employment of women. The
Chancellor, in reply to a letter from
her, promised that women doing piece
work would be paid the same rate as
the men were then getting, but said
nothing about time work. Miss Pank-
hurst then wrote him on that point
but received no answer. An indirect
reply was made, however. by Mr..
Runiciman, NJ. p, president of the
Board of Trade, who said that no
conditions had been laid down by the
government as to time work.
Miss Pankhurst has now made a
statement to the press in which she
accuses the government of refusing to
guarantee women the same pay as
men for time work adding:
From the .women's point of view. it
is unjust that women should be en-
ployed to do mems work at lower
rate; from the mems point of view. it
is disastrous. Guarantees to take men
back into employment after the war
can never be enforced; and if any
proof of this is needed, we find it a
fact that promises by employers to
make allowances to the wives of work.

already being broken on every hand"

VI ssociated Press Correspondence

1.-The attempt to apply the slogan
I11ess as usual to the present
bate az things in Belgium is due IN
art to the inability of the news
kapers to make the necessary investi-
Iations there. We are told that the
nflevards Of Brussels are crowded
IA that great numbers of people oc-
10y the chairs in front of the cafes;
lore we deduce that social life IS
on as usual throughout thu
~.
we can correct such a judg-
promptly from the figures of the
& relief institutions. For an ap-
lion of the real economic situa-
- Brussels and of the psyche
situation of the people there,
61tedge of public relief is more
liant than the appearance of the
buIevards.
PIT is undeniable that in Brussels
he number of burghers forced to
Itch their food from one of the relief
enters is growing. In September the
cures were 1872 per cent; on April
hey are % per cent. Of the popula-
lon.

decreasing dearness of things.
1T is an exaggerated view to take
hat normal conditions are returning

|aily by charity. For this purpose
'ver $4,000 a day is required, and
his does not provide for the distribu-
ion of clothing, relief Of unem-
Iloyed, and care of children. Private
