WAVE OF TYPHUS
SWEEPS GAL|C|A
GRIP OF RECORD
81 EPIDEMIC

LEMBERG, Nov. 15.-Galicia has
been swept within a few weeks by a
new wave of typhus which reached
greater proportions than ever before
at this time of the year, say Red
Cross reports. Hundreds of people
have been stricken and died without
medical attention in villages that
could not be reached by doctors.
After more than five years of con-
tinued warning, the country is al
most without the elemental hospital
necessities. 1t has been the battle
ground of one army after another
and the zone for changing forces of
occupation. Large areas are burned
away. The best equipped hospitals
have been completely ruined and pill
LACED.
According to Lieutenant Colonel
Halban, chief sanitarian of the Pol
ish government for the Galician
front, the typhus situation eclipses
anything ever known in this land
where typhus has always been more
or less epidemic. With an unprece-
dented beginning in the summer
months, it is feared the winter will
see it increase with even greater
fury. The vermin which cause
typhus incubate and multiply in
the cold season.
The American Red Cross has es-
tablished a headquarters here in re-
Spouse to the appeals of the military
and government authorities. In
tense activity is already in progress
for coping with the distressing con-
ditions.
Requests for hospital supplies
come into the temporary headquar-
ters from all sides. Centers have
been selected for vitality needed hos
pitfalls but there is such an utter
lack of material for equipping them
that all efforts to cope with the sit
uation have failed. The military
and government authorities are
lending every possible aid in has
tening the immediate distribution OF
the American medical supplies in an
attempt to check the disease before
it gains too much Roadway.

FLEEING BY
THOUSANDS FROM
GER Man SllES|A
OVER 500 REFUGEES CROSS THE
BORDER DAILY DESPITE
GUARDS

GRODZIEC, Poland, Nov. II
Down here in former German ST.
lesia, where Poland and Germany
are engaged in a bitter controversy
on boundary questions, American
Red Cross workers have been deliv-
ering their supplies under the UNI
friendly supervision of a long line
of German observation balloons.
These supplies, unloaded on the
Polish side of the frontier, were for
Polish refugees who have passed
and are still passing into Poland
from Silesia.
When the boundary question first
became acute, Germany started to
make a warlike show along the
frontier. There were German troops
engaged in military just
across the river form Grodziec;
there were many trainloads of field
artillery ostentatiously brought to
the frontier and planted in hidden
2emplacements behind the hills;
there were scores of airplanes and
observation balloons. the latter on
display every morning, bobbing at
their slender strings. BY night also
there was a continual hustle on the
German side of the line-signaling
and night maneuvers. The frontier
which here lies along the little River
Brynies, bristled with armed guards
and pickets. 1t was the show-win-
dow of wars preliminaries, de-
signed to impress the people across
the border with Germany's power
and earnestness.
The Polish authorities estimate
that $4,000 Polish refugees have
fled across from German occupied
Silesia since August IS. At first
the Germans made no objection to
this wholesale exodus; rather, they
favored it. But now they have
strengthened their guard at the
frontier and shoot on sight anyone
attempting to cross the line in
either direction. Yet from 500 to
700 refugees are crossing the border
into Poland every "a hours, mostly
at night.

ton to public office in Rio de ia
Metro is Deolinda Daltro, a pro-
lessor in the public schools. who an
nounces her candidacy as represen-
tative in the city council in the next
municipal elections.
Nine. Daltro frankly admitted in
an interview that she has not much
hope of winning. She declared,
however, that defeat at the polls
was of less Importance than the
fact that she will be making a
fight for the emancipation of her
sex. Her main object, she said.
~ be to provoke debates on what
she considers the momentous prob
lem OF obtaining political rights for
the women of Brazil, who at present
are not entitled to vote.
Nine. Daltro, who is a widow, has
been prominently identified with
educational and welfare work in
Brazil for many years.

RUSS DEPlORE BRITISH
RAILROAD SETTLEMENT
REDS URGED ARMED RISING IN
TELEGRAM TO THE
STRIKERS

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE speedy
and peaceful settlement of the Brit
ish railway strike was a sore disap-
pOintment to Russian bOlsheviki.
They hoped that It would develop
into open revolution. That was
shown by a wireless message that
al transmitted from P%etrograd'
with compliments to the British
railway men," 1t stated:
I'VE, the railway men of Red Pet
rograd have heard the news of your
general strike with JOY and enthu-
siasm. You have broken the chains
OF civil peace. You have declared
war or your government. You must
pass from a general strike to an
armed rising. In order to improve
your economic position you must
first destroy the present imperial
istic order of things and substitute
for it a government of workers and
peasants. Do not allow the leaders
of the old trade union school to get
at the head of the movement, as
they will betray you at the last de-
cisive moment. Victory is yours if
you fight to the end.
"As to ourselves we will fight
until the whole world is covered
with red flags. Down with the
league of nations. Long live British
soviet power"

BURN. PlLAGf. KILL" is ONLY LAW IN BOlSHfK RUSSIA

mense sums have been assigned for
the purchase OF agricultural ma
chimes and fertilizers. The govern
ment has sworn to a con-
stituent assembly which shall de-
eide the age-long question Of dis
tribution of land among the peas
ants.
THE bolsheviki having promised
and actually given land to the peas
ants, began to introduce the COM
munal principle into its agrarian
policy and its method of distribut-
ing supplies with the consequence
that all soviet Russia has been
shaken by peasant uprisings."
Communists and their sympathiz-
ers constitute the privileged class OF
bolshevik Russia, says M. F. Toonin
formerly a small land owner. in the
Samara district. Mr.. Toonin has
lived there under bolshevik rule
since December, 1918, but lately
arrived at Omsk. He gives an IL
Eliminating description of life under
the bolshevik regime.
The civil government of the Sa-
mara district is in the hands of an
executive committee, he said. This
committee controls supplies, lodg-
ings. fuel and military affairs. The
control Of production and manu-
featuring industries is subject to a
council of national economy, which
is subordinate to the executive COM
mittee.
The population is divided into
four categories. The first of these
is comprised of communists and
their sympathizers. The second
category is composed of employees of
soviet institutions. the third of or
binary citizens and the fourth cate

OMSK. Nov. 11.-Illiteracy is the
horror of Russia and it is on this
soil that bolshevism flourishes, says
Professor A. A. Ossendorfsky, the
Polish chief of the intelligence de-
partment of the All-Russian gov
eminent.
He defines the bolshevik order
as: There is no more law. Go
forth, burn, pillage, kill and you
will be rich and happy" The illit-
crate and credulous believe this and
after two years the world sees. the
ruin of Russia.
According to the professor, they
have no axes, scythes, shovels or
nails in soviet Russia. The council
of national commissaries is ordering
that all the valuable English textile
machines in Russia be converted
into such utensils as there is no cot
ton in soviet Russia and all textile
works are idle.
The professor estimates that all
the debt of Russia could be paid up
by exporting its vast supply of tim
Der and that it's great stores of hard
and soft coal would suffice the
world for $50 years. Russia's sur
plus of iron, copper, zinc, naphtha,
gold and the wealth in fish of the
Pacific and northern oceans and ST.
berian rivers and it's fur industries
could be utilized as a firm founda-
ton for any economical and finan-
cial policy that might be adopted by
any Russian government.
But to accomplish this, it is nee
essary to have normal living condi-
lions, continuity of work and as
a of the integrity of person
and property" says Professor Ossen-
dorfsky. Toward attainment of
these conditions, he believes the ALL
Russian government at Omsk is
making progress.
Having freed from bolshevism

Omsk government has preserved un-
touched the whole of the gold re-
serve belonging to the former Rus

A. j. Finnerty, one of the best
known prospectors in this part of
the state, and owner of mining
ground at Arrowhead, was shot and
instantly killed last night about s
O'Clock on Corona avenue. near
Main street, Tonopah. At l o'clock
this morning the murderer was still
at large, although every effort was
eing made by both town and
dnty officers to a%pprehend him.
The cause of the shooting is UNI
known. The police, after several
hours investigation last night, ex-
pressed the belief that robbery was
not the motive for the crime; that
Finnerty had probably had an alter
cation with meon over a bust
ness or mining deal and that this
led to the shooting.
The report that the dead man
had flashed a roll of several hun
dred dollars early in the evening in
a downtown saloon could not be
verified. When his clothes were
searched the sum of SIS was found.
Friends say that in the afternoon
he had little money.
Finnerty, who recently optioned a
property to Utah people, was expect
ing a payment yesterday, which, it
is understood, was not made. Asso-
ciates in the deal with him said last
night that they were positive he
was practically without funds yes
terday. although he had consider
able money earlier in the week.
A few minutes before Finnerty
was shot he is known to have met
