Health of French
Armies Improved
Since War Began

French Front. Feb. IS (By MaiD
French armies in the field are
more healthy than at the beginning
Of the war. say the medical reports.
This is attributed TO hygenic pre-
caution and the betterments intro
duced in the housing and care of the
men.
Typhoid and analogous diseases
have become very rare During the
first ten days of January this year,
only seventeen cases were reported
as the total in all the French armies,
whereas in December. 1914, and
January. 1915, the average reached
we'll over four figures and was very
disQuieting The disappearance OF
these dangerous maladies is attribut-
ed by the doctors 10 the Introduction
at the end Of January. 1915, of com
pulsory incubation Of the troops
with anu-typhoid serum.
The remarkable health of the SOL
diers in the field is the more strik-
ing when the conditions under which
they live when on active service in
the trenches is taken into consider
alton Then for weeks on end they
are subjected TO the most severe
trials. They must execute all the nu-
merous chores inseparable from be
ing cut off from the usual life of
mankind. In every kind OF weather
they have to bring up TO the front
lines supplies Of food and ammuni-
ton They have to stand on guard
in rain and snow and mud for days
At a 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 SO as to be ready for a
call to fight. Their food is brought
TO them by comrades just as dirty as
themselves, and, as there are no op-
pOrtuDities 10 wash, it is handled By
hands covered with mud and grease.
In fact, all the surroundings of the
soldier in the front line are such as
to breed disease, yet they seem rap
idly to aecustom themselves 10 them
and to maintain their health.

Reports from Toxic via Londor
to the effect that Premier Terauch
had told the Japanese house of peers
that the government is not consider
ing Intervention in Siberia. while not
receiving confirmation in official
quarters, are nevertheless sufficient
ly confirmed by. unofficial informa-
ton and by the general direction and
momentum Of events.
II may now be taken as an assur-
ed fact that, for the moment at least
Japan will not intervene in Siberia.
Although scant news of the political
crisis in Japan has been allowed TO
leak out to the world at large, it has
been known for the last week that
the original attitude of the govern
ment toward intervention in Siberia
had become greatly modified by the
pressure of opposition, and that
abandonment of the enterprise had
become foregone conclusion
This news. overshadOwed by the
suspense OF the fighting on the west
ern front, is neverth 2lesS of more
fundamental and far-reaching TN
portance than any reports, except the
breaking of the French and British
lines, could be 1t signifies the defeat
of an insiduOus danger TO the cause
Of democracy itself. Ii there had been
a compromise over Japanese inter-
vention in Siberia, nothing would
have stood in the way of a comprom-
Use with Germany later on.
Fra gmentary reports from Toxic
yesterday indicated that Great Bri-
tain, France and Italy, in joint
communication, Internationally fav-
ored the intervention OF Japan in ST.
IBERIA. and that only America dis
scented This alignment Of the ques-
ton has. OF course, been known from
the beginning Of the negotiations,
but the exact details will possibly re-
main 10 be recorded in history.
Last week the country was given
to understand that President Wilson
contemplated delivering a message
before congress on the Russo-Japan-
csc question, and public opinion at
once recognized that negotiations
must have passed into an important
phase. Such an action on the part of
the president would virtually have
constituted an appeal TO the world
through the channels OF open diplo-
macy. Since the situation now seems
in the way of being solved. il is
doubtful if the president will deliver
the message.

| clearly drawn in Japan, and the agi-
tation over the immediate question
| of intervention in Siberia has
brought out sharply the vast differ
ence between the attitudes OF the
two leading Japanese groups toward
| every issue Of the war.
The military group in control OF
! the government has revealed the i'm
perialistic nature of it's attitude, as
well as natural disagreement with
the American point of view which
comes as a result of any imperialis-
tic trend. The so-called commercial
group. on the other hand, has taken
a liberal anti-imperialistic and pro-
American attitude, has maintained a
vigorous opposition to the policy of
intervention in Siberia. and has not
hesitateI to call spade spade. The
crisis from the first has been Of suffi-
cient proportions to threaten the life
OF the government, and there are
many indications that the Terauchi
cabinet may fall as final result OF
the affair.
Here has been remarkable oppor-
tunity. it is argued, for clearing up

This, of course. is deplorable. In

by close culture and trade relations

FOOD FROM VENEZUELA.
Country Sending Its Surplus to Arm.
les Fighting for Democracy


New York, March 2S.-Under fav.
orable conditions brought, about by
the present government of Venezu-
ella, rapid development of the nat
ural resources of that country will
take place after the war, and many
opportunities will be presented for
the United States, according to l..
Romero Samson, representative in
Venezuela OF the importing firm Of
Kunhardt & Co., II Battery Place
Mr.. Samson came to the United
States especially to report on condi-
tions in Venezuela.
In regard to pro-German senti-
ment in Venezuela" Mr.. Samson said
yesterday, there is absolutely no
doubt that Venezuela sympathies are
pro-ally. In proof of this | might
state that Venezuela, though strick-
en- by restrictions on exports, is ship
ping all the products that the coun-
try can spare to the allies. Among
other things she is shipping are corn
and beans. products never before eX-
ported from the country before An
other proof, he says, is that many
Venezuelans are fighting in France
with the allies. None is fighting with
the Germans.
The government has publicly gone
on record as backing the fight for
democracy In the first year of the
war in an official speech made by the
Acting President. Marquee Bustillos,
the sincere wishes were expressed
that out of so much bloodshed would
come positive triumph for democ-
racy. There has been no ground for
the opinion sometimes expressed by
some American newspapers that the
Venezuelan government, is proGer-
man. The rumor once circulated that
the Germans were using the island Of
Margarita as a submarine base is
groundkss. In the cabinet of minis
tiers. previous to the present one,
there were certain members known
to be personally pro-German. This
is no longer the case. as none Of
them is now in the cabinet"
Mr.. Samson said that Venezula is
in a favorable condition for develop
ment, and foreign capital is alive to
this, as is shown by the establish
ment of many new enterprises in the
country in the last year. Previous to
the war, he said. it was probable that
German interests were in excess of
allied interests. due mainly to the
large volume Of imports and exports
made by German firms under condi-
tions Of credit which the United
States, France, and England did not
grant. Mr.. Samson said it is on the
granting of credits that success of
American enterprise will depend. He
declared that the United States could
not compete with success in the
South American field without gising
long credits. Speaking of credits, Mr..
Samson said:
THE German firms could not
grant such credit on account of the
facilities their banks gave to them
and they made in certain lines more
banking business than what was
made by three Venezuelan banks in
combination. This system enabled
the Germans to buy goods in the I'm
tied States and sell them in Venez-
uela.
