OF EASTERN
EUROPE IN SAD PLIGHT
Penniless, Clothesless and Hungry,
Soldiers Move in All Directions
HOmeward.

London, June 12.-"In the condition
Of chaos in which eastern Europe is
at present, famine and fatigue have
produced a condition Of lowered resis-
lance to infection which favors the re-
production of the epidemics of the mid
die ages" says a writer in the Lau-
same (S~witzerland) Gazette.
"Prisoners are wandering in eastern
Europe on their way to their homes,
innumerable Russians on their way
to the east from Germany, Germans,
Austrians and Hungarians passing
from Russia to the west, Serbians and
Croats striking south, Poles going
north, crossing one another in indie
scribable confusion in Poland, the
Ukraine, and Hungary. The absence
o. linen and clothing forced prisoners
to clothe themselves in rags or skins
in the same way as the civilian popu-
lation.
"The fight against typhus consists
mainly in bathing the men and ster-
ilizing their clothing. The Hungar-
ians possess ovens, but no coal; the
Czecho- Slovaks have coal but no ovens.
Soap and body linen are absent every
where. Linen when put into the over
is so wretched as to be unwearable
afterwards and the owner has to be
sent away clad in his sheepskins. Pris-
e and wandering civilians know
this so we'll that they take every
means to avoid disinfection more than
anything else; to avoid being slowed
at a station they get out of the train
when they stop at the smaller stations
and enter the town in small scattered
groups which attract less attention.
"The ordinary morality of exanthe-
matous typhus in epidemic regions be-
fore the war in Silesia, Poland, Rus
STA and Galieia was from six to seven
per cent, at present it is over 20 per
cent. 1t is true that the epidemic has
not yet assumed the proportions of ep-
idemic cholera in India, where in the
town of Bombay alone there We're
1926 deaths from January IL to 25,
1919; but there is a great danger for
Europe. All eastern European states
realize this and though they were at
war with one another, yet they sent
their delegates to the Budapest con-
gross and decided to place their re-
sources in common"

AID FOR DISABLED YANKs.

Washington, ID. C.-United States
soldiers, sailors and marines who are
injured in the service of their coun-
try are receiving special considera-
ton at the hands of the United States
civil service commission and the fed
eral board for vocational education,
working in cooperation.
When the civil service commission
receives an application for examina-
ton from a discharged Yank, whose
physical condition is such that he
would not ordinarily be accepted, his
case is referred to the federal board
for vocational education. The fed
eral board turns the matter over to
a field officer who promptly goes
out after the man and offers him the
services of the boards organization
for special training to fit him for the
work for which he has applied, or for
some other employment if it does not
seem practicable to train him for
the work for which he made applica-
ton to the civil service commission.
Hundreds Of such eases have been re-
ferred to the federal board by the
civil service commission.
Under a recent amendment of the
civil service rules, made on the rec
ommendation of the civil service conn.,
mission, the commission may waive
the established physical requirements
in favor Of a disabled and h%onorably
discharged soldier, sailor or marine,
upon the certification of the federal
board for vocational education that he
has been specially trained for and has
passed a practical test demonstrating
his physical ability to perform the
duties of the class of positions in
which employment is sought.

that the packing industry was already
modified for service long before the
Lusitania was sunk.
The problem of securing an ade-
quate supply of meat for the army
and navy caused the goTernment less
worry than any other major prob
lem. All that was ao.essary for the
government to do wa- to determine
the requirements am ID of the army
and navy, and notify 0"' packers, and
they delivered the goods.
The manner in which the packers
met the emergencies which arose dur
ing the war is well illustrated in the
case of Ewift & Company who in n
week filled a government order for
100000 pounds Of meat and fat.
This necessitated the dressing of 49,
600 cattle and 100000 hogs, and re-
quired 1000 freight cars to transport.
Another instance is found in an or
der which was received one Saturday
afternoon at 5 O'Clock for 100000
pounds of special cut of dry salt
meats. The war department wanted
this shipment of AZ cars boxed and
on the way by the following Tuesday
noon-less than 70 hours distant.
Swift & Company had the last car
loaded and rolling an hour before noon
on Tuesday.
The tremendous total of $3.50, 100000
worth of supplies was furnished by
Swift & Company alone to the Ameri-
can and allied governments during the
war. The peak was reached in Deem
Der, 1918, when the goods furnished
totalled $4,000, 900 in this one month.
Meats naturally formed the bulk
of sales, but considerable quantities
of wool were furnished the United
States government, while the allies
purchased large amounts of lard and
lard products.
Even if there had been any incli-
nation on the part Of the packers to
"profiteer," this would have been out
of the question under the rigid regu-
lations enforced by the food admins
tration. With m~eatprices officially de-
termined by the government and with
profits limited to a definite percent
age, possibility of unfair dealing was
removed.
The packing industry required no
federal financial aid, and additional
facilities did not have to be construct
ed by the government-such as ship
yards for the ship builders, and addi-
tional factory units for munition man

say they have a right to be sent to the
United States. About 5000 have been
certified, hundreds have been rejected
and the applications keep coming.
The British government agreed
when the United States entered the
war to send home after the war any
American citizens who joined the Brit
ish army and also any citizen Of allied
nationality who had previously estab-
lished a residence in the United States.
The authorities are not having much
trouble with the first category but the
latter one is bringing on no end of
complications.
The board of military and civil Off
GERS which examined men collected at
the camp here formerly used as a rest
camp by American troops had SO many
difficulties that the aid of Lieutenant
A. Kane and later a representative Of
the United States consul generals Of
flee in London was requested.
Lieutenant Kane was selected be-
cause of his knowledge of many cities
in the United States and his general
acquaintance with conditions north,
south, east and west. A favorite city
would be selected by the would-be re-
patriates as their "home town" is De-
troit. The street number ~tallies, their
statement that they are n of the
thousands employed in the motor car
industry cannot be disputed and they
know some Of the principal streets.
But n question finishes them.
"What is the principal park in De-
troit?"
They do not know Belle Isle and
they do not get to the United States.
Lieutenant Kane has a stock of such
questions concerning most of the cit
les of the country and if they can be
correctly answered it is reasonable to
suppose that the soldier has a just
claim and he is passed.
While there are many such cases
they are in the minority. Most Of
those who apply are men who wanted
to get into the first American expe-
dictionary force calculated they had a
better opportunity with the British
than to wait until the first Ameri-
can expeditionary force came overseas.
These men are being given every
available facility to go home.

FORMER KAISER TO BE
TRIED IN LONDON

London, July 4.-William Hohen-
zollern, the former German emperor,
will be brought to England in a Brit
ish ship and imprisoned in the Tower
of London, according to the Daily Mail.
The death penalty will not be sought,
the newspaper points out, but if he
is found guilty the allies will ask his
Punishment for life to a remote island,
following the precedent of Napoleon's
exile on St. Helena.
The international trial court had in
tended to try the former emperor
alone, the Daily Mail says, but it is
possible that the former crown prince,
Frederick William, will also be ar
raigned before it.
