Feeding Europe Is
Problem of Allies

LONDON, Sunday, Nov. IL
British Wireless Service. John
r. Clynes, British food controller,
writing in the Sunday Times, says:
zone of the problems which lie
before Great Britain and her allies
in the immediate future is the feed
ing of the destitute and almost
starving masses on the continent of
Europe. There is no doubt that the
condition of the enemy countries
and some of the neutrals is almost
on the border line of starvation.
This matter is one which we cannot
afford to ignore.
cit is a satisfaction to me to
have, in conjunction with Mr..
Hoover, n. Boret and Signor Crespi.
set up the inter-allied food council,
through which we have been able
to provide food for The allies, and
which now can be used to arrange
supplies for recovered territories,
and lastly, for enemy countries. Our
allies and the recovered territories
will certainly have the first claim
on our attention.
The emancipated peoples in Bel
GUM and Northern France, Italy
and the Balkans already are receive
ing supplies through our inter-allied
organization. We must of necessity
be satisfied as to the actual condi-
tions of the German people before
sending our help to them,
Next week 1 hope to discuss the
whole situation with Mr.. Hoover
and the other food controllers at

Camp Beauregard, La. Dec. /, 1917.
From: The Surgeon General United
States Army.
To: Chief of Staff, War Department,
Washington.
Subject: Sanitary conditions, Camp
Beauregard, La.
l, During the past month this camp
has had SO deaths from pneumonia
and 6 from spinal meningitis. During
the same length of time they have had
1900 cases of measles, 1T cases of
pneumonia, and II cases of spinal
meningitis. The immediate cause of
the pneumonia, from which the NOR
tally comes, is the epidemic of meas
les. Both the measles and pneumonia
are on the decline. The sanitary con-
ditions, however, l consider very seri,
Gus, and steps should be taken at
once, as far as possible, to remedy
them.
The command is at present quar-
tered at the rate of nine men to tent.
This gives about % feet of floor space
to the man, and, in my estimation, is
excessive overcrowding.
| recommend that the division com.
mander be directed to put up suffici.
ent tentage to give each man at least
so feet of floor space, which would
furnish about five men to atent.
2. The camp has become infected
with measles and meningitis by the
transfer of infected troops from other
camps. To avoid continued infection
in this way, an observation camp
should be erected where new arrivals
could be kept under observation fol
at least two weeks, and for such long
er period of time as necessary while
the main camp shows evidence of in
lection, This same precaution should
be taken with regard to men being
transferred to other camps,
3. The base hospital is located
miles from town. / recommend that
the hospital be furnished at once with
one 2-ton truck, one 11s-ton truck, and
one A-ton truck, and one motor car
urgently needed for its transportation
4. The base hospital is located about
2 miles from camp and connected with
camp by a very poor road. The road
is in such poor condition that the
transfer of sick from camp to hospital
is hard on the patients. l recommend
that the road between the hospital
and Camp be at once macadamized.
5. The men in general came to this
camp in their summer clothing, and
have suffered a good deal of discom
fort on account of cold. The tenden
cy to pneumonia has been increased
by their exposure to the cold in this
badly clothed condition. Within the
last two weeks the whole command
has been furnished with winter under.

command have overcoats, but so far

MAIL BOX MOLESTERS
ARE WARNED TO BEWARE.

1t has been reported that considera-
BILE trouble is found with the tamper-
ing of the mail boxes along the shore
by unauthorized persons. 1t appears
that mischievous persons have been
tampering, opening and breaking the
mail boxes erected by residents along
the motor routes until the matter has
reached serious proportions and the
Postal Inspectors have been advised.
A section of the Postal Laws and Reg
ulations states
THAT whoever shall wilfully or ma
liciously injure, tear down or destroy
any letter box or other receptacle in
tended or used for the purpose of re-
ceipt or delivery of mail on any mail
route, or shall wilfully assist in the
foregoing ~offense, shall be punished
by a fine of not more than one thous-
and dollars or by Imprisonment for
not more than three years."
This is a serious proposition, and
those engaging in it are certainly in
viting trouble for themselves.
