All these unfortunate and filthy men
are, In plain English, covered with lice,
which are the sole prOpagatOrs of
spotted typhus. Many Of them do their
best to avoid going near any military
depot which has means of disinfection,
because their wretched rags, once put
into the disinfecting chamber, simply
fall to pieces, and as there is no fresh
clothing to give them in exchange, they
feel themselves worse off than before.
Try to Avoid Distinction.
Many of these men leave the depot
wearing nothing but their sheepskins
or OvercOats, any apology for under

MEsOPOTAMIA TO COME BACK

1t may be remembered that, when
Gen. Sir Stanley Maude had to lay
down his work with his life in Meso-
potamia, that work was taken up and
carried on successfully by Gen. Sir w.
r. Marshall. The expedition which
he sent up the Euphrates freed that
river from the Turks, and just before
the armiStice the force which he led up
the Tigris from Bagdad captured the
entire Turkish army of 1000 about SO
miles south of Mosul the city which
stands on the west bank opposite the
ruins of Nineveh. Since then the coun-
try has had peace. and all the way
north and west from Basra there has
been notable revival of commerce
and agriculture. with a beginning of
the great irrigation scheme devised by
Sir William Willcocks. II was through
irrigation that in ancient times the
land developed its extraordinary fertil-
ity, and traces remain of the network
of canals that formed the center OF
BabylOnia.
Is there to be q renewal of that fer
tility in place of the desert barrenneSS
produced by Turkish neglect and mall
administration? General Marshall.
