DREAD TYPHUS SWEEPS

International Calls Upon Ameri.

Suffering Countries.
Cablegrnm to The Evening Stnr and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright. 1919.

PARIS. April 16.-The international
Red Cross has called upon the Ameri-
can Red Cross for aid in combating
the typhus epidemic in eastern Eu-
rope. The reports received tell OF
hundreds of thousands of cases in
eastern Poland. Galicia, Serbia. Ru-
mania. southern Russia. the Caucasus
and Armenia. The death toll is de-
clared to be tremendous. At present
no adequate measures against the
rapid spread of this epidemic can he
taken because of the total lack in
nearly all of these regions of medical
supplies and even of soap and cloth
ing essential to cleanliness.
The American Red Cross Is already
doing what it can with the limited
means at it's disposal. but in the opin-
ion of the leading American medical
authorities here what is necessary is
the organization of a new sanitary front
across Poland into the Balkans and
thence proceed by a Systematic advance
into the stricken regions. Only Presi-
dent Wilson himself can authorize such
step.

Haase Informed the correspondent
that he did not consider reaction
airy coup impossible in Berlin, but
that he was convinced that such con-
troll, if it were acquired. could not
last more than a couple of months
If, indeed, it endured as long as that.

Red Cross authorities to light the
plague. Up to the present no decision
has been taken.
In the meantime whole populations are
dying. The Spanish influenza, itself
due to war conditions. is now striving to
rival the typhus. The influenza will
doubtless remain more localized and II
is expected that the number OF cases
will diminish with the coming OF the
warmer weather which will enable
people to live more outdoors, thus avoid
ing crowding.

Largely in Favor of League.

So the consensus of Missouri demo-
Gratis would seem to be very largely
in favor of the league, and they pri-
vately report similar strength for it
among the republicans. Friends of
Senator Reed also think he has erred
but they believe him sincere They
like him for the very qualities of op-
position which he is displaying. They
like him so well that they filled to

lie as II was in the Missouri legis-
lature, when fifty democrats left the

Missouri democrats are still too
timid to oust Mr.. Reed from their
ranks, either because they fear his
hold on the rank and file or they
don't want factional strife in the
party. Any way. unless the situation
changes materially the republicans
instead of the democrats are likely
to have the say as to whether a demo-
crat or republican shall represent this

REPORTED NEW
TRIPLE ALLIANCE
America to Guarantee Moth
ing Inconsistent With Spirit
of League.
FRENCH ASK GUARANTEE
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, April 20.-From high
source in the American delegation it
was learned today that the American
attitude on the reported alliance be-
tween the powers to guarantee the
safety of France against attack by
Germany was that no alliance would
be entered into by the United States
that was not consistent with the spirit
of the league of nations.
The extent of the guarantee which
the United States and Great Britain
have given to the French as security
against renewed German attacks con-
tinueS to be the foremost topic in the
French press. The French repre-
sentativeS maintain that the guaran
tee takes the form of an alliance. The
Matin says: This alliance has al
ready been drawn in the form of a
very brief text, stipulating that three
powers will give each other mutual
support if Germany attacks us again.
The signature Of the stipulation will
occur at the same time as the signing
of the treaty"
None of Proposals Accepted.
The American officials withhold all
comment on these reports. 1t is
known, however, that a number of
proposals have been brought forward
designed to give more prompt and
more effective guarantee of military
assistance to the French than the
league of nations affords. But none
of these proposals had been accepted
up to forty-eight hours ago.
President Wilson's contention has
been that the league was enough guar
antee. in line with his speech before
when he said: THAT is a definite
guarantee of peace; 1t is a definite
guarantee by the world against ag-
gression; it is a definite guarantee
against the thing which has just
brought civilization to the verge of
ruin"
Paris Papers Demand Guarantee.
Editorial writer's of Partisan news
papers again are clamoring for definite
and efficaciouS guarantees to ward of
a renewal in future Of German ag-
gression. To this end they demand
either an alliance with the United
States and Great Britain or protection
by the league of nations.
Perunax. in the Echo de Paris. in
sists that, while the left bank Of the
Rhine is occupied and the fate of the
Saare basin Is in suspense nothing but
an alliance pure and simple will serve.
St Brio, in the Journal. goes even
further. declaring an alliance must
contain a military engagement of a
very definite nature and that the
league Of nations must not supplant an
alliance until it becomes real and nom
fictittous-in other words when it Of
fers military security at least equiva-
lent to that Of alliance.
Lieut. Col Roussiten. in the Petit
Parisien. makes the point that granting
all good will on the part of the United
States and Great Britain, France ought
not to be expected to bear the brunt
of an eventual German attack alone
until American and British assistance
would have time to come to the rescue.
