FOR SYRIAN RELIEF
Native Children. Boy Scouts and So
ciety Folk to Lend Aid.

Plans are complete for the receipt to-
day of contributions for the suffering
Armenians and Syrians.
All over Washington contribution boxes

On the leading street corners the boxes

ernment departments, and at the Union

ter presided over by a society girl or
matron. There will be no appeals for
funds other than those already made,
and these stations have been established
solely to aid those who care to give.
The young women were assigned to the
various booths at a meeting yesterday
morning at the home of the Misses Denys
in I street. The Boy Scouts also re-
ceived their orders after voting to spend
the day helping In the cause. Wallach

ton voted unanimously when the ques-
ton was put to them by Deputy Scout
Commissioner Taylor to forego an all
day hike into the country which had
been arranged for them, so that they
could do their share toward the possible
saving OF hundreds of Armenians and
Syrians from starvation.
Tomorrow collections will be taken in
the churches OF Washington, a number
OF pastors having agreed to set aside the
returns at the morning services for this
purpose

borne Washington, Of 1914 Seventh street

The last new case reported was on Oc-

When asked II there was any reason to
believe that the epidemic was at an end
in this city, DR.. Norris stated that 1t was

be another outbreak. He said the disease
was Of such a nature as to baffle medical

.SERBIA'S SACRIFICES
told in new Volume
The Highway of Death, by Red Cross
Surgeon. Pictures Balkan Conditions.

"The Highway OF Death" through Ser
bia is pictured in vivid colors by Earl
Bishop Downer, NJ. D., American Red
Cross surgeon, in his volume under that
title, which is one of the most interest
ing human documents that has come out
of the European welter from an Ameri-
can source. 1t has been placed on sale
by Woodward & Lothrop.
DR.. Downer was with the American
Red Cross units in Belgrade when the
Serbian capital was taken by the Aus
trians; he was there when the Serbs re-
took the city; he saw the Austro-Teutonic
forces again get possession, and he pass
ed through the horrifying aftermath,
when plague and pestilence completed
agencies OF war.
All through the story of this brave
American surgeons work for the people
of the stricken Balkan state and for the
wars victims from all the forces en-
gagged in the bloody conflict, there runs
a vein Of unqualified admiration for the
Serbs as heroic people. The fact that
vermin Is almost unavoidable in that
country and that sanitation is quite un-
known in their communities, made up Of
persons lacking in education, does not
detract one whit from DR.. Downer's trib-
ute to the wonderful spirit Of these peo-
pie, exiled as a nation from the land
they love with a devotion that, in time
OF war is fatal to about 50 per cent Of
the patriots.
Before taking his station in Belgrade,
DR.. Downer was in typhus- -blighted
Salonik, and then in Gevgelia, a little
Turkish town in southern Serbia, where
70 per cent Of the population was wiped
out by typhus
Belgrade, the most besieged city in
the world" is described by Dr. Downer
appreciatively. The authors descriptions
OF the scenes attending the thrice-fallen
stronghold on the Danube are graphic,
with many anecdotes that throw inter
esting sidelights on the methods Of mod
ern war forces. Narratives of aerial
battles, big gun duels. and other fea-
lures of the conflict fall naturally into
the current of the writer's story, but
always there is uppermost the human
element that lends its chief charm to
the book.
Apparently the volume is made up Of
a series OF articles, with the result that
there is a certain tendency toward repe-
tition. The fault is not vital one, how
ever. and he book is an extremely inter
esting one, which presents modestly but
clearly the nature OF the work which
has been done by Americans in the Red
Cross service

Majority OF The Buyers OF The Coun-

Was Thirty Cents Seven Years
Aqo-Little Sheared.

For the first time in many years,
in fact, for the first time in the mem
DRY of the majority of the wool buyers
of Maury county, the farmers of this
section are being paid as much as
thirty-five cents per pound for their
wool The first of the new wool crop
of the county has been brought in dur
ing the past week and is said to be
of fine quality.
There will be less Of the bury wool
this year than usual. Farmers are
learning that with wool high and
scarce they cannot afford to have
burrs on their farm, the cost of get
ting rid of them is entirely too small
Not all of the farmers will get thirty
five cents for their wool, that is the
top price and the price being paid
now. Many of them sold some time
ago at thirty, thirty-two and thirty
three cents They saw a good oppor-
tunity to sell at a good price for fu-
ture delivery and they sold
The highest price paid for wool in
recent years was in 1909 when thirty
cents was paid for considerable por-
ton of the crop of the county. Since
then the price has been as low as
twenty cents. At an average OF five
pounds to the fleece, which is consid-
cred about correct for native South
down sheep, the wool from each sheep
will be worth $1.75 and the lambs will
bring another 81 to So per head, max
ing the profit of product of each eve |
around $40. Nothing like it has been
known in the memory of the present |
generation.
Cold weather has delayed shearing
and very few of the ewes of the coun-
ty have been sheared. With the COM
ing of higher temperature, however
this will be changed and largely in
creased receipts are expected next
week.
