RESCUED BY U. S. RED CROSS
Scatters Victims of Disease Along
Railroad Line in Siberia-Amer-
leans Save the Survivors
at Razdolne.

Tokio.-For the second time word
comes out of Siberia of a death train"
~traversing the 1000 miles of railroad
between the Ural front and the Pa
cifc, shunted on from station to sta
ton, with help denied until word Of
1t reached the American Red Cross.
In the spring a train loaded with ty-
plus victims distributed its dead
across the land. The latest death train
carried in addition to the typhus the
dreaded spotted fever and cholera.
Word of the presence of this train
on the main line between Irkutsk and
V~ladivost0k reached American Red
Cross headquarters in the latter city
a few weeks ago, and preparations
were started Immediately to succor
what survivors there might be of the
callous cruelty these stricken soldiers
of the Kolchak army had been sub
jected to. Major Riley Allen, execu-
tive secretary of the American Red
Cross in Siberia, who is only just re-
covered from an attack of typhus him
self, organized a hospital train to meet
the death train, going out with it. DR.
Rakitin, of the staff of the American
Red Cross hospital at Russian Island,
who has also been laid low with ty-
plus, accompanied Major Allen, with
nurses and aids.
Doctor Dies on Train.
The death train, they had last heard,
was at Nikolsk on August 81, where
the Russian authorities had simply
passed it on, as all other Russian of
ficials had done at every station for
weeks. Just before the train reached
Nikolsk the doctor aboard it had died
of cholera. Seven of the $50 sick who
had survived to reach Nikolsk died
the next day. Their bodies were
dumped out of the moving train by
wrecks of men who had not the
strength to dig graves, even if they
might have had the inclination. As
things were going it was only a mat
ter Of time until their W fostering
bodies, crawling with typhus lice and
foul with living for weeks in I'M
cleaned box cars, would be rolled out
of the side door to become a center of
infection for the countryside.
The Red Cross train caught up to
the death train at Razdolne, where it
lay on a siding nea a barracks in
which American troops were quar-
tered. These soldiers were doing what
little they dared for the pest-ridden
sufferers, having run so many risks, in
fact, that they were all put into quar-
antine when the medical authorities

discovered the facts. Until these
American soldiers, in a more or less
rough and ignorant way, offered some
help, the patients In the death train
had received nothing from the troops
they had met except alarmed orders
from commanders to be on their way.
Before reaching the death train the
Red Cross officials had made arrange
ments to bring the typhus and cholera
patients to the Russian hospital at
Nikolsk, which had been fitted up by
the Inter-Allied sanitary committee.
and permission had been obtained
from Colonel Lewis, of the American
army, to use the inter-allied wards of
this institution. But the Russian rail-
road authorities at Nikoisk proved to
be like the hundreds of others along
the line and refused to permit the
death train to be brought there, and
the Russian military command refused
to permit the patients to be brought
into the town under m circum-
stances. Neither would the Russian
military authorities at Razdolne per
init the sick to be removed from their
filthy box cars to any building In the
town. Finally, after long parleying
with ~Vladivostok, permission was
given to house the sick at Nikolsk on
condition that they be cleansed first
