spondent in n talk in the Generals pri-
vate car here.
III anybody wants to know what Boil
shevism means let him go to Kiev." said
Gen. Petlura- The Bolsheviki und, r.
mined the National Government there by
bribing my soldiers. by trading with my
political enemies and by unfair promises
to bring about peace. As a consequence
they got a certain amount of domestic
support. However. they now have lost
this support and also have the Ukrai-
mans in arms against them because they
marched into the city with Chinese
troops. who may be said to be the best
type Of Bolsheviki.
THE most dangerous part Of Bolshe-
vism," continued Gen. Petlura, rs not
It's armies, but Its attempts to organize
behind the lines.
I'VE have soon TO take Kiev, but
meanwhile we are anxious to tie up with
the Entente rather than with Germany
and the Moscow Government robably
the most important event recently has
been our union with East Galicia, which
Is unassailable by the Bolsheviki be-
cause of the patriotism Of the people
and their religion. without the help of
the Entente we may be forced to make
unfortunate compromises with the Boil
sheviki.
"Our misfortune has been that we
were forced to fight Imperial Russia and
also the BolsheviSi. Now we Are cut OF

WASHINGTON, April 4-Charges Of
gross carelessness and negligence in
preventing and controlling the spread Of
typhoid and paratyphoid fevers in the
army are made against many medical
officers serving with the forces overseas
in circular published by the chief sur
seon OF the American Expeditionary
Forces and made public here to-day by
the public health service IN connection
with a warning that vaccination does not
give complete immunity from typhoid.
The chief surgeon cites many instances
where epidemics prevailed among troops
especially during the last ofrensives on
the western front. and points out that
the occurrence and distribution Of
diseases was constantly brought 20 the
attention of the medical officers through
weekly bulletins.
1T would appear" the circular con-
tinues, that many officers failed to
grasp the signihcance of these reports
and warnings. fact which may be due
20 false sense Of security under the
popular belief that vaccination against
typhoid and paratyphoid gives complete
immunity even In the midst of gross
unsa nitary conditions.

per cent. OF the troops engaged were
afflicted with diarrheal diseases. The
high incidence OF intestinal diseases in
this sector" the chief surgeon says.

OF sanitation
Both dysantery and typhoid para
typhoid fevers were demonstrated to
have prevailed 10 some extent after the

Paris Believes Maxine,

The courageous straightforward state
nnent of Baron Maxine to the Associated
Press has been favorably received in
Paris. II is in refreshing contrast with
the reticence of the conference leaders
generally. and is an instance of that
open diplomacy which they have hon
ored In the breach rather than in the OBJ
servance.
I asked recently a we'll known Ameri-
can public man who has had high diplo-
matte rank in what degree German
propaganda has been responsible for the
misunderstanding between Japan and the
United States. He answered:
Not more than 80 per cent. II is
high time the questions at Issue between
these two countries, like many ques-
tons now engaging the attention OF the
conference, be publicly ventilated. In
the present condition OF affairs, the
danger of secrecy Is far greater than the
danger OF publicity"
This applies especially to the situation
that has grown up between the United
States and France. Since he came 10
Europe President Wilson has had prac-
tically no contact with the leading
French publicists. many OF whom are
cultivated. open-minded men from whom
the President might have acquired much
useful knowledge and who would Loyalty
nave explained MS conception OF MS
principles to the French people.
The various delegations have tended
to work in wstertght compartments.
All have forgotten their only reason for
being there Is faithfully to administer
the trust conhded to them by their re-
spective peoples.
Consequently II the conference should
break down, as it may break down, there
will be mountain of misunderstanding
between the allied and associated peoples
which need never have been thrown UP
mad the publicity of the conference been
intelligently organized.
1t is peril ips not too late to begin. but
the eleventh hour has already struck
Unless some effort Is swiftly made the
best that the allied peoples can hope
for will be some hastily patched ur
peace that may we'll prove to be a mere
