INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, April 26.-
Measles are regarded as a nuisance,
rather than a serious disease. Yet
the report of the state board of
health, made public today, shows
that during the month of March IA
deaths in the state of Indiana were
caused by this disease.
The report of the board points
out that much of the blame falls on
the parents Of children. who allowed
them to run through the snow when
their vitality had been lowered by
the disease. There were 1882 cases
Of measles in IS counties.
Smallpox, formerly considered a
terribly dangerous disease, does not
rauh With measles during the month
of March. There were Az cases in
Al counties, and yet there was but
one death.
There were $500 births during
March and 4,O16 deaths, the highest
birth rate being in Lake county,
1915. The sanitary sections COM
pared in the death rate as follows:
Northern section, death rate, 1856;
central section, death rate, 1914;
southern section, death rate, 1873.
The death rate of the northern sec
ton propOrtionately is higher than
that of the entire state. The birth
rate of the northern section. how
ever, was also higher than the rest
Of the state.
Ii still appears to be more dan
gerous to live in the city than in the
country. for the urban death rate
was 1874 persons per thousand popu-
lation, while the rural death rate
was 14.5.
The death rate of some Of the
cities listed by the board was: In
dianapols, 1910; Evansville, 1919;
Fort Wayne. 14.6; Terre Haute, 14.S;

PARIS. July 2I.-"CrIminal agrees
sion" upon the rights and peace of the
world by nations desiring a place in
the sun" must be rendered impossible.
Otherwise all the sacrifices OF lives and
treasure in this war will have been
in vain.
That is the decision Of the allied
war council. tand the first and greatest
Of the allies peace aims.
This announcement was made to-day
Just before the conference adjourned
With 1t was included information that
decision had been reached to with
draw allied forces from certain sec
tions OF Greek soil.
And. according to information circu-
lated here tonight. decision was made
TO have General Sarrail launch a new
blow on the Saloniki front--a drive
to cut the Orient railway and drive a
wedge between the central empires
and their Balkan allies.
SUPPORT FOR RUIOR

the first paragraph OF the official state
ment defining the position of the al
lies In the war. II says:
united than ever for the defense of
the peoples rights. particularly in the
Balkan peninsula, are resolved not to
lay down their arms until they have
attained the end which. in their eyes,
dominates all others-to render i'm

gression such as that whereof the CEN

especially the submarine situation.
were discussed, however. Vice-Admiral

British chief Of star. and General
Foch.
There is just one sentence in the al
lied staten ment-but it is the complete
reply Of all the nations warning for
liberty to the German Chancellor and
the German Reichstag. 1t closes the
door to further efforts to befuddle and
ensnare for which German diplomacy is
notable.
40 FURTHER NECESSITY
FOR GREEK OCCUPATION
The withdrawal of allied troops from
certain sections Of Greece-ancient
Greece. Thessaly and the Epirus, to
be exact-resulted from the lack of
further necessity in retaining them
there. The dethronement of Constan-
tine and Greece's entrance into the war
have made unnecessary the allied pre-
cautions against a blow from the rear
at their army on the Saloniki front.
The statement concerning the with
drawal OF these troops follows:
France. Great Britain and Italy
simultaneously, and as soon as pos
sible, Will end the occupations they
have been obliged to make in ancient
Greece. Thessaly and the Epirus."
The statement adds. however, that
the Island OF Corfu will be retained
as base for the duration OF the war,
under Greek rulership. and that for
some time a triangle on Greek soil
opposite Corfu also will be occupied.
