The authorities have also to solve
the serious problem of sheltering the
population that is gradually returning
to the devastated regions. At Maurupt
a town of 700 inhabitants that was al
most completely destroyed, 200 have
already returned and are living mostly
in the cellars of demolished houses

The Awful Question,

Those millionaires who appeared
before the Industrial Relations COM
mission last month were a remarkably
liberal group of men," said Upton Sin
clair at vegetarian banquet in Balti-
more. "One multi-millionaire said that
no doubt his views in favor of labor
were so liberal as to be socialistic, but
he couldn't help that. Another said
he kept so straight, in his good rela-
tions with labor, that he was in con-
stant danger of falling over backwards.
Oh dear!"
Mr., Sinclair smiled bitterly, helped
himself to peanut chop and a second
cup of coffee and resumed:
But a quetion, an innocent ques-
tion-the question, namely, How about
that strike of yours IN 1902 brought
most of these men up standing.

tion and its earth-shatering results, of

"All of sudden, in the midst of a

Mr., Sinclair neglected to give the
sisters reply.

PARIS, April 24-"Seyen months af-
ter the beginning of the retreat of the
Germans" says DR.. Dolly, deputy for
the department of the Ardennes, "un-
buried dead are being discovered on
the battle field of the Marne In the
center of village on the banks of the
Marine where the sanitary department
was clearing away the debris they
brought to light body that was be-
yond Identification either as German
or French.
Hundreds if not thousands of bod
les are supposed to be lying more or
less submerged in the Saint Gond
marshes where the Prus8ian guard
was thrown back; they had neither
the time nor the means to save those
who fell there"
In order to avoid the pestilential ef-
fects of warm weather on these un-
buried corpses, DR.. Dolly thinks it will
be necessary to explore the entire
swampy region with the aid of dogs.
Bodies are also being found con-
stantly under brush in bitches and
abandoned trenches. They are found
not only in bitches, trenches and ex-
cavations made by shells but in wells,
springs and all the little streams of
the region. In many places where it
was possible for them to bury their
dead they were insufficiently covered
with earth and were frequently burel
in too close proximity to sources of
water supply.
These conditions exist over a zone
250 miles long and from 10 to 40 miles
wide with total of from 5000 to 5000
square miles of ground, a considerable
part of which required thorough disin-
fection to prevent the outbreak of ep-
idemics. Besides the bodies of men
there were in this zone thousands of
bodies of animals part of them killed
by shell fire and many of them dead
from starvation, having been abandon
ed by the fleeing population.
This vast work of disinfection is
well under way. All the debris from
bombarded buildings is being cleared
away and the ground saturated with
solution of lime. The floors of every
building that has been occupied by
troops, either German or French are
being scraped then washed in solu-
ton of hot water and carbonate of
soda, while the walls are all newly
whitewashed. Wherever any odor re-
mains after these precautions have
been taken more drastic measures are
resorted to; in some cases the build
ing is burned.

ings that have sheltered troops are

The method for using this substance in the

Borax costs five to six cents per pound in 100

In view OF this discovery, there now scent

While 1t can be safely stated that no Injurious
action has followed the application of manure
treated with borax at the rate OF so pounds for
eight bushels, or even larger amounts In the case
of some plants, nevertheless boraxtreated u.a.
nure has not been studied in connection with the
growth OF all crops, nor has its cumulative effect
been determined. II Is therefore recommended
that not more than is tons OF the boraxtreated
manure should be applied per acre TO the field.
As truck growers use considerably more than tss
amount. is is suggested that all cars containing
boraS-treated manure be so marked and tha.
public health officials stipulae in their directions
for this treatment that not over 60 t62-l00) OF
pound 1of elgnt Dushels OF manure be used, as
IL has been shown that larger amounts of borax
will iniure most plants. 1t is also recommended
that all public health officials and others in
recommending borax treatment for killing ny
eggs and maggots in manure warn the
public against the injurious effects OF large
amounts OF borax on the growth Of plants
Purchasers OF manure produced In cities during
the fy-breedng season should insist that the
dealers from whom they purchase give them q
certified statement as to whether or not the
manure In the particular car or lot involved in
the purchase has been treated with borax.
In feeding to hogs garbage that contains borax
care Is also recommended, especially when the
animals are being fattened for market Borax is
not very poisonous substance and the feeding
Of garbage that contains II to hogs is not likely
to be serious matter On the other hand borax
In large quantities does produce gastric dis
turbances and for this reason a certain amount
of care Is advisable.

THE JEWISH RECORD

A Jewish correspondent writes
thus to the London Observer:
Not in the British armies alone
are Jews distinguishing themselves
on the battlefields of three CONT
nents. The number who have taken
up arms in one army or another
since the outbreak of war cannot
now be far short of half a million,
the majority of whom are serving in
the armies of the Gear. In those
armies during the past fifteen
months JEWS soldiers without num-
Der have earned recognition of ex-
ceptional bravery and of good ser
vice. Many have been decorated with
military orders: some even have
gained the much coveted Cross of
St. George of the First Glass, the
equivalent of the Victoria Cross in
this country. From the other bellig-
erent countries some similar records.
