FRENCH ARMIES GAIN HEALTH.
They Are Better Physically Than at
Outset of the War.

! French Front. March 29,-French ar.
mics in the field are more healthy than
at the beginning of the war say the
medical reports This is attributed to
hygienic precaution and the betterments
introduced in the housing and care OF
the u.
/ " ,aoid and analogous diseases have
become very rare. During the first ten
days OF January this year, only seven
! teen cases were reported as the total in
all the French armies. whereas in De
eember 1914. and January, 1915, the av-
erage reached well over four figures and
was very disquieting The disappear
snce OF these dangerous maladics Is at
| tributed by the doctors to the intro
ducton at the end OF January, 1915, of
compulsory incubation OF the troops
with anti.typhoid serum.
The remarkable health of the soldiers
in the field is the more striking when
the conditions under which they live
when on active service in the trenches
is taken into consideration. Then for
weeks on end they are subjected 10 the
most severe trials. They must execute
all the numerous chores inseparable from
being cut off from the usual life of man
kind. In every kind of weather they
have to bring up to the front lines sup
plies of food and ammunition. They
have to stand on guard in rain and snow
and mud for days at time
When not on actual guard they pass
their time in crowded and damp dug
outs where the air is always bad. At
all times in the front line sectors they
are compelled to take their rest while
fully dressed and equipped 50 as to be
ready for a call to fight Their food is
brought 10 them by comrades just as
dirty as themselves. and, as there are
no opportunities to wash it is handled
by hands covered with mud and grease.
In fact all the surroundings of the sol
der in the front line are such as to
breed disease, yet they seem rapidly to
accustom themselves TO them and to
maintain their health
Even throat and chest trouble have di-
minished among the troops, thanks to
the improved conditions in the rest
camps. where on coming down from the
front lines the soldiers are now provided
each with a trestle bed raised from the
ground, which is the acme of comfort as
compared with the bundle of damp straw
usual in 1914 and 1915.
Measles and searlatina. which were
once so prevalent. break ont now only
here and there. The report of the ten
DAYS already mentioned tells of only
fifty-nine cases Of measles and fifty
three of scaratina in the entire army.
Trench feet brought about by stand
ing in the freezing mud for days at a
time in shoes which hinder the circula |
ton. are being combatted successfully. |
The last report shows only 5S3 cases in
ten DAYS during the coolest season,
whereas in five days of the same period
last year no fewer than 1881 cases were
treated. Formerly amputation was re
sorted to very frequently, but now the
method of treatment employed has done
away with this radical means.

M ADOO ASKS FAIR
TEST OF CONTROL

Director General McAdoo yesterday
urged extension of time OF Federal
control OF railroads. so that not only a
fair test Of unified operation may be
made, but also that waterways may
be developed as a part OF the nations
transportation system.
Barring return of the railroads to
private control. the Governments
plan TO improve the Mississippi river
will be carried out. Director General
McAdoo announced today. in denying
reports that he had Cancelled con-
tracts for river barges. McAdoo tele-
graphed the chambers OF commerce
at st. Louis. New Orleans, and several
other river cities that he was commit
ted to the purchase of forty barges
and FIVE coal boats and expected to
carry it through.
His message read:
Il doubt IL the Mississippi river op-
Grafton can produce satisfactory re-
suits IL the railroads should be turn
Ned back soon to private control. The
old methods OF railroad competition
with waterways transportation will be
revived, and IL is probable that water
ways experiment may not be able
to survive that competition.
81 suggest the phases OF the pro-
gram because as an American citizen
whose earnest interest in proper wa
terways development has been mani
tested frequently. I think your bust
ness and civic organizations should
very seriously the impoT-
lance of extending the period OF Fed
crai control of the railroads as ]
have just proposed. in order that a

railroads may be made that along
with it the inland waterways may be
developed and fair opportunity

FOE AGAIN BRINGS

Have Nothing TO Fear.

Germany is again trotting forth the
bugaboo. famine. in an effort to en-
list sympathy for her at the peace
conference and force better terms
from the associated governments.
ments.
This was the general interpreta-
ton placed here today Cd Germany's
latest plant. delivered last night
through the Swiss minister.
IL asked for information as to the
date and place OF the peace confer
ence. and besought an early convoca-
tion of the delegates so as to save
Germany from famine. In presenting
the request for information. the
Swiss government asked that IL be
given an answer as quickly as pos
sible so that it could answer Ger.
many.
Germany naturally knows as to the
peace conference plans in an unof-
fetal way from the press accounts.
But IL appears from this appeal that
the allies have not given any intima-
tion as to German delegates attend
ing so far The delegates would I'M
doubtedly come from whatever re-
gime il in power at the time the ses-
sion meets. Whether or not that
regime should be in power subse
quently. the terms imposed by the
peace conference will be the terms
which Germany as a nation will have
to fulfill.
At the same time that the State
Department heard OF this newest
German famine cry. il also received
word that Poland is ready to receive
and aid an investigating commission
from the allies in the matter OF
Jewish pognoms. The associated
governments expect soon to probe
thoroughly the reports that these
msssacres have been proceeding in
Poland.
