DEADLY EPIDEMIC is
SWEEPING THROUGH
THEsCENTRAL EMPIRE
(By Hnry Wood)

| kOnlIeO FfeSS starr correspondent
With the French Armies, Oct. S.-(By
Mail) Thousands of letters taken from
prisoners at Verdun describe in harrow.
irg terms the RACES of dysentery, chol
era and typhus throughout Germany.
Some idea, not only of the widespread
nature of these epidemics, but Of the
effect they are having on the German
population, can be gained from the fact
that over one-half of the letters found
contained references to spread of dy-
sentery caused by improper and insuffi.
cient food.
These letters spoke of the disease at
Cologne, Mulheim, Cobourg, .Burstadt.
Guben, E1ankenburg, Lagen, Litchtel-
burg, Stagard, Altoona, Weisbaden,
Grune, Thormy, Pollnow, Stettin, Eick-
ell, Zanow, Halle, Duisbourg, Rugort,
Duisbourg Beck and other towns. Some
typical extracts follow:
Burstadt, August 6.-I believe it
will soon be the end. At
Mannheim dysentery exists since long
time now and the streets are closed.
Now it exists also at Burstadt. Mamma
is very much afraid because a great
many people are dying of it. They fall
almost like flies"
"Guben, August 10.-Dear Brother:
Here people are dying every day Of
dysentery, only it is not allowed to lie
known outside"
"Guben, August 9.-Today there are
again some dead. Always of dysentery.
But it is true that it could not be
otherwise with what we have to eat.
There is absolutely no fat left in our
bodies.'''
"Chemnitz, August 12.-The hearses
are obliged to gallop.'
"Mayence, August 11.-Since several
days both cholera and typhus have made
their appearance to the extent that sew
eral streets have been closed to traf-
fic."
"Gollub, August 9.-At Graudenz and
Thorn people are dying of cholera. We
can be sure the disease will come here
also. My God! We must die now, or
later"
"Cologne, August 5.-An epidemic of
dysentery has broken out here. The bar
racks and hospitals have been closed
for fifteen days. Dysentery also reigns
among the civilian population. People
now no longer have any fat or grease
left in their bodies. Many have died
What makes these letters all the more
reflective of the condition of Germany
is that all of them had been carefully
censored before being sent to the sol
diers. Presumably the details cut out
by the censor were far more serious
than the ones above, which were pass
ed.

of the immense stores of Jewish
vitality which have hitherto been 30
cruelty and uselessly suppressed.
Few people outside Of Russia are
fully aware of the fact that, despite
all prosecutions and restrictions, the
Russian Jews have managed to play
an important role, not only in the
economic but also in the political and
cultural life of their country. Freed
of its shackies, the pent-up energy of
Russian Jewry which has been ac-
cumulated throughout the centuries
as result OF an extraordinarily in
tense spiritual development will be
set free to help in the opening up of
the undreamed of resources of the
greatest empire on earth.
'"The effect Of Jewish emancipa-
ton in Russia will no doubt be pro-
foundry felt in this country as well.
There can be little doubt that Jewish
immigration to these shores will be
reduced to a minimum. Probably
many of the recent arrivals who fled
from an enslaved Russia will be
ready to return to Russia that is
emancipated. If American capital is
to take it's legitimate share in the
opening up of the vast, uncultivated
territories of the Russian Empire, the
Russian Jews of America, with their
knowledge of the country and their
connections there, are bound to play
an important part in this civilizing
process"

the books of prayer of the different
church bodies, not one is a prayer for
death or evil, war or destruction.
All are supplications for protection,
guidance, peace and love.
AS an example take the following,
the collect" for the Fifth Sunday in
Lent, which was read from the Prayer
Book last Sunday in every Episcopal
church in the land: eve beseech
thee, Almighty God, mercifully to
look upon thy people; that by thy
great goodness they may be govern
body and soul; through Jesus Christ,
following Collect for Peace: "Oh,
God, who art the author of peace and
lover of concord, in knowledge of
whom standeth our eternal life, whose
service is perfect freedom; defend US
thy humble servants in all assaults
of our enemies; that we, surely trust
ing in thy defence, may not fear the
power of any adversaries, through
the might of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen"
Where the Litany shall be read the
following supplications among others
will be made: From lighting and
tempest; from plague, pestilence and
famine; from battle and murder, and
from sudden death +. good Lord,
deliver u.s."
"We sinners do beseech thee +. :.
that it may please thee to give to
all nations, unity, peace, and con-
cord"
At the end of the "Penitential Of
flee" occurs the following: " g.. The
Lord lift up his countenance upon US,
and give us peace, both now and
evermore." Nowhere in the books of
prayer is war and humiliation prayed
for. The Christian church thus
places itself squarely on record as
mighty force and organization for
the study, practice and development
of the things which are the anti
thesis of war.

WEALTH AND THE WAR.

In a cunning effort to aid Germany
| the propagandists Of the kaiser in this
| country are cndeavoring to array the
| roor against the rich. They call this
| Il rich mans war; they make vague
delnagogic appeals to class hatred by
saying that the war was deliberately
| brought on by the rich so that they
might make money from it, They say
that the rich men in general are slack
crs: that congress was forced into the
war by the trusts, and tina: the presi-
dent is a tool OF Wall street.
That attitude is both false and
reasonable. If our millionairos start
Ell as deliberately as did Andrew Car
negie to separate themselves from their
money. they would hardly find Il more
country into war. A glance at recent
Legislation shows it. \ few days since.
by unanimous vote, the senate adopted
the Gerry amendment of the war rev
cnue bill raising the tax on large in
comes. This provides for Il tax of 81
per cent on incomes of more than 81
100000. and a tax of within per cent
of onc-half of incomes over 100000
In addition TO that We have an an
nounccmcnt by Senator Lodge that
there is soon to come an excess profits
tax of between 20 per cent and so per
cent. Finally we see the government
fixing the prices of steel, coal. wheat
and preparing to go much farther
With other food commodities.
The conscrip1ion of wealth. for
which the radical Socialists have
longcd. is fairly on and the end of the
war will find the census taking of mill
lionaires an easy task. The proper
ton Of slackers among the rich is far
less than among those who are object
ing to the war, While the manufac-
turc OF munitions will make some
men wealthy. there will be hundreds of
So called rich men who will be ruined.
This is not guess work. We have only
to look at the conditions in England
to verify that prophesy.
