Typhus Epidemic
Claims Tell Among
Rouma,1ia,1 Peasant
Correspondence Associated Press.l

Correspondence Associated Press.l
Paris, July 9.-Typhus has again
broken out in Roumania, particularly
in the part occupied by the Germans,
and there has been a large number OF
deaths. The victims are mostly poor
Roumanian peasants and little effort
is made by the German medical an.
thorities to combat the disease. There
is a serious shortage of food and those
who do not die of typhus usually sue
cumb to starvation. The Moldavia,i
section of Roumania is practically free
from the epidemic. This information
was conveyed to The. Associated Press
today by Herbert Mayer, Secretary to
Charles J. Vopicka, American minister
at Jassy, who has just returned from
Roumania via Austria and Switzer-
land.
According to Mr.. Mayer, an Amer
lean physician, DR.. Breckenridge
Bayne, Of Washington, D. c., who was
in Bucharest for nearly two years
during the German occupation and
who is now on his way to the United
States, was the only one who had the
in Wallachia and fight the disease. DR.:
Bayne usually was accompanied by
two or three German physicians, who
pretended to represent the German
sanitary department and who would
force him to enter the infected houses
and bring out the patients for inspec-
ton. There rad been several deaths
among the German physicians from
the disease and as a result all Ger
man doctors had an intense dread Of
it. They refused fatty to minister to
the sick or dying.
This work was left to DR.. Bayne,
whose immunity from the malady was
a constant source of mystery to the
Hun physicians. DR.. Bayne, who
braved all forms OF coItagion would
go into the little mud novels Of the
peasants and carry the patients out
for observation by the German medical
officers. The Germans would look the
case over cursoriy and then declare.
Yes. that is typhus; take the patient
back and put up notice in red, He
who enters here dies"
DR.. Bayne would give the unfortu-
nate suffers what little treatment he

temporary. The Germans showed the
most callous disregard for human life
and the stricken inhabitants of the
villages would be left either to sue
cumb to typhus or to die from star
walton.
For his heroic work among the
people in the Roumanian villages. DR..
Bayne received before he left the
highest decoration within the gift Of
the King Of Roumania and was. every
where regarded as one of the saviours
Of the people. Even the hardened

showed him special recognition and

The two French aviators who so

several German airplanes in the fight

LIE Maitre was in the back seat and
took the plane from the ground. The
machine had climbed a few hundred
feet when Soulier raised his hands to
his head, the usual signal of pilot that
he will take control of the plane. SO
LIE Maitre sat at ease.
Then for eight minutes the airplane
gave a performance the like of which
never before had been seen by the
spectators. 1t comprised the whole
known category of stunts and added

Of the airplane. While the machine
was running wild, each aviator thought
the other was trying to have a little

Moscow has been interrupted, but the
cause was not stated. altho 1t is known
there is no general strike 1t was as

continuation Of a passenger and pri-
vate freight traffic.
On Aug. 9 unusual police measures
were taken In Petrograd. occasioned
probably by the expected coming OF

URGENT WISH FOR PEACE.
Social Democrats Of Austria Offer New
Peace Formula.

Berne. July 10.--Details received here
of the recent national conference at
Vienna of the German Social-d demo-
cratic party of Austria show that a
strong protest was made against the
Austro -German denomination Of Russia
and Rounania and a new ana liberal
lied peace formula was presented. This
is one Of the powerful organizations Of
Austria. and the national conference
was attended by representatives Of all
branches of industry from lower and
upper Austria and the alpine regions
and the south. The resolutions recite:
'"The national congress Of the Ger
man social democratic party Of Austria
protests against the Brest -Litovsk and
the Bucharest treaties as contrary to
the principle of peace of understanding
without annexation and contributions.
(Ten lines suppressed by censor.)
THE congress therefore demands
that. before the ratification Of these
peace treaties, they be laid before the
parliament for examination and
amendment.
"The national congress demands that
the governments Of the central powers
offer general peace to the governments
Of the entente on the following basis:
81. Establishment of league Of
peoples of all countries, which will
carry out general disarmament and
settle all disputes between peoples by
courts of arbitration.
"2. Abandonment of all annexation
and contributions, not only in the west
and south. but also in the east and
southeast (Not only as to Belgium,
France, Serbia AMI itaiy, bit also DIS &c
Russia and Roumania.
20. The border states separated
from Russia shall be given full right Of
self determination" (Half column sup
pressed by censor)
Even in the mutilated form that the
resolutions came across the frontier
they indicate the strong opposition OF
this powerful industrial element and
an urgent wish for peace.

the general state of excitement among
the working classes, councils them not
to provoke a general strike at present
but to get ready for the decisive fight"
ahead between capital and labor, which

" Decorated for BravsIy.
New York. Aug. 23.--The Rev. John
Devalles and the Rev. Osias Boucher,
knights of Columbus chaplains IN
overseas service who were awarded
the cross by the French government
in recognition of their heroism during
the early days Of the great German
drive, have been given commissions by
the United States government. This
news was told IN a cable message re-
ceived last night at knights of Column
bus headquarters here from their
headquarters in Paris.
In the order citing Fathers Devalles
and Boucher it was recited how the
former, disregardlng personal safety.
succored wounded men. encouraged ad-
vancing troops and proved that In
emergency, he knew how to throw
grenades.
1t Is told OF Father Boucher that he
not only discharged his ministerial
duties on the battlefield, regardless Of
bursting shells and grenades, but also
attached himself to machine gun
SQUAD that found itself in trouble. and
when the gunner was put out of action
enemy's direction until relieved by an
other gunner.
Father Devalles and Boucher. both
from New England. have been serving
as knights Of Columbus chaplains for
many months. American soldiers abroad
bear an affectionate regard for these
fighting priests" and they are favor
ties in all camps.
The spirit of American forces over
seas has raised the morale of the al
lied troops to the highest pitch. ac-

knights of Columbus, who has just re-
turned from tour of the western
front. While there he had interviews
with General Pershing, General Man
gin, Premier Clemenceau and other al

THE keenest impression Of any one
who has the opport unity to visit the
American front is that our boys have
brought the spirit of victory overseas
with them" Doctor Buckley declared.
They are out to win. The French
know it. the British know it. and, what
is more important, the Germans know
it,"
This spirit, DR.. Buckley asserted, was
in sharp contrast with the spirit of
German prisoners he saw.
"One of them could not have been
more than fifteen" he said. This boy
