AUSTRIAN BANKER
 ROBBED BY REDS BUT GETS RICH

Amsterdam, Oct. 2.-(Correspon- dence of Tn eAssociated Press. )-The experience of an Austrian banker with Bolshevikt methods, when he made business trip to East Russia recently, is the talk of the Vienna bourse, ad- vices received here state.
 The banker was arrested and in- termed. Disguised as a peasant, he escaped with 10, 900 rubles in his pos session. He fell in with company of Bolsheviki who, despite his pro- tests, took and divided the contents of his pockets.
 Share and share alike is the rule here," they explained, handing him back his share" which was only a tenth of his capital.
 Soon, though, his fortunes took a turn for the better. He fell in with another band which added to its ranks ragged individual from whose pock- cts 100000 roubles were extracted. This sum was pooled and carefully divided and the banker received fat share. Eventually he returned to Vt-

Washington, D. C..-The American Army has practically eradicated the scourge of disease, which in previous wars caused more deaths than shrap- mel and sword.
 The credit side of the army's health ledger carries a table of lower and lower percentages. An American sol dier of today takes his chance on the firing line rather than in a hospital, or a mess hall where impure food is served. Our armies at home and abroad are not menaced by embalm- ed beer scandals, such as occurred during the Spanish-American war. Typhoid Is almost unknown on battle field and in training camp. Mor- tality from pneumonia is remarkably low. Social diseases no longer seri- ously menace the effectiveness of the American armies.
 recent report from the office of the Surgeon General of the army dis closes that for the past two months the average death rate on account of disease was only 2.S per thousand. This report covers both the American Expeditionary Forces and the training camps at home.
 This means that out of each thou sand men under arms during that pe- riod less than three died of disease. The man in civil life would hardly ask a greater odds against death.
 Comparative figures covering the past wars of the United States show that in these conflicts disease killed more men--and many more men, than bullets. The chances were against the sk skroiusly wounded sol dier, as they were against the man stricken with, fevor or other diseases incident to camp life or congested sur roundings.
 Constant Watchfulness.
 Sanitation, food inspection, studies in nutrition, sterilization, watchful- ness from the moment a man enters a training camp until he goes into the front line trenches, and then more watchfulness and attention, are re- sponsible for the creditable record oi the Army Medical Department.
 If the gods of battle spare their son the American mother and father to- day need have but little anxiety about disease. The army guards the health of its men first because 1t is its duty to them; again because battles car be won only by well wen.
 With the disease records of the Spanish h-American war comparatively fresh in mind there was nationwide concern regarding disease protection when this war came. It was disap pointed, for here the record speaks:
 In the Mexican war (1S46-4S) tht disease rate was 110 men died of dis ease to 15 killed in battle-more thar seven to one.
 In the armies of the North during the Civil War (1S61-65) 65 died O. disease to 33 killed in battle-a dis ease mortality substantially doubl, the battle mortality.
 In the Spanish-American wa, (1S9s) 26 died of disease to killed

 Thornton Blakeman had his auto mobile stolen from Broad street, Bridgeport. on Saturday morning. The car was found the same after noon in Fairfield where the thief had abandoned it. The car was consid- erably damaged and was taken to the Swartz garage for repairs.

in battle, ratio of more than five to one. Typhoid fever, reduced to almost zefo in the American armies of today, claimed most of those who died of illness instead of in conflict.
 With approximately three million men under arms, military funerals be- cause of disease are fewer day by day than the funerals in an American city of three million population.
 For the last week in July, for in stance, the combined reports of the American Expeditionary Forces and of troops stationed in the United States, showed an annual death rate for disease of 1.9 per thousand-less than two men per thousand per year.
 The annual death rate for disease of men of military age in civil life Is 6.7 per thousand.
 Thus a man in the army appears to have three times the better chance to stay we'll in the army than when about pursuits.
 This new army. rate, at that time based on an approximate strength of 1000 men was established when large bodies of American troops were living under most abnormal condi- tions.
 That this record for one week was not an isolated favorable one is showr by reports made by the Surgeon Gen. eral in the middle of August covering the preceding two months. The av- craze death rate per thousand from disease during those two months was 2.S.
 Growth of Medical Corps.
 During the Mexican war the an. nual death rate from disease was 10( per 1000. During the Civil war the rate was 40 per 1000 in 1862 and i jumped to 60 per thousand the follow | ing year. The disease death rate fol the Spanish-American war was 25 pel 1000.
 As far as available records go the lowest rate heretofore established il any of the armies of the world wa! that of the Russo-Japanese war, whe1 the rate was 20 per 1000 men.
 "In the Crimean war, said Sur geon General Gorgas recently, lone l fourth of the French army, or 250, 00' men, died of disease. In the Russo Japanese war the death rate wa brought down to about 20 men pc thousand per year. Our disease rec ord so far has been eight men pc thousand per year. We hope to keel 1t there or reduce 1t"
 The greatest surgeons and physi clans of the nation have become vol unteers in war work. Many of thes men, representing every branch o medicine and surgery, are drawing yearly salaries that are less than on fee commanded in civil life. There were seven army hospitals il this country when war was declaret against Germany. Now there ar more than sixty army hospitals here and 29 have a capacity of more tha1 one thousand patients each. Hospi tals in France are being constructe in ratio to the strength of the Ameri can forces there.

RED CROSS AIDS
 LEPER COLONY

London, Oct. 3-Twenty pounds of quinine has just been shipped by the American Red Cross to the leper colony at Farafargana, South Mada- gascar, for the use of the Sisters of St. Vincent de Paul, who are In charge of the work of the colony. Owing to the prevalence of malaria there, large quantities of quinine are necessary. but the regular supplies were sud denly stopped by the prohibition of the export of the drug from France. An appeal was thereupon made to the American Red Cross, which obtained the required amount in the United States.

ONE CORD OF OAK EQUALS ONE TON
 OF GOAL IN HEAT

In heating value one standard cord of well-seasoned hickory, oak, beech, birch, hard maple, ash, elm locust or cherry wood is approximately equal to one ton (2,000 pounds) of anthra- cite coal. according to estimates by the Forest Service, United States Se- partmeft of Agriculture. However. a cord and a half of soft maple and two cords of cedar, poplar or basswood are required to give the same amount of heat.
 One cord of mixed wood, well sea soned, equals in heating value at least one ton fo average-grade bituminous ccal.
