In charge OF a dozen Austrian surgeons
under the general supervision OF a Rus

OF sick keeps the beds always occupied,
and several who should he In hospital
have to be treated In the barracks. The
records show that the principal diseases
are influenza, rheumatism. dysentery, ty-
phoid fever, brain fever and frost gan
creme. being in most cases the result OF
poor nourishment. exposure. neglect and
impure water.
About fifty Austrian soldiers serve as
cooks. nurses and attendants. The Rus

ON four day. OF the week the chief
meal is at noon. and consists of the time
hunored Russian sour of potatoes, cab
bage and a little meat or fish. There are
also a pound of heavy black bread and
two Jumps OF sugar per man. Com
plant is common about the bread. which
Is so sour and sosgy that 1t causes much
stomach trouble. Tea can be had at any
time. ON the other three days ~ the
week the noon meal consists OF fish,
which is often old and uupalatahle. Tho
water supply is bad. but those who brave
the cold to walk to the hospital can
have distilled water free.
When the Austrians arrived at Nikolsk
they were inadequately clad and suffered
SO severely that the authorities were
moved to distribute a partial supply OF
boots. The leather was OF the poorest
quality and did not last long. Prob
ably they were the only supply avail
sble after the Russian soldiers had been
equipped. Even In peace time some OF
those distant posts are forced to hustle
for themselves 10 a large extent. The
present demands are for boots. III
clothing and soap. and the ever neces'
sary insect powder. Many prisoners
are undertaking the study OF Russian

some civilians.
