Trains Reputation
Is Spread Broadcast

The reputation of the train as an
effective weapon in fighting typhus has
spread far and wide. Built by the
American Red Cross for the Allies, it
was originally intended to be used first
in the maritime provinces of Siberia.
Then came the tremendous epidemics
of typhus out west in the heart OF
winter-e pidemics that ran the number
of hospital cases into the tens Of thou
samsis and the unreported cases into
.,- .wenties Of thousands. From mil
itary camp and concentration point;
from soldier and prison barracks; from
hospitals and orphanages and refugee
colonies; from railroad trains, crowded
with homeless people, and stations even
more crowded, came reports OF the
spread of the spotted fever"
So the Great White Train went
west--long cars for bathing men, wom-
en- and children unwashed for months;
cars for cutting the hair and steriliz-
ing the clothes; cars laden with medic
aments and clothing, and began its

the train crew had determined to es-

it were possible to keen the men NOV

four hours conseCutively it would be
we'll within the capacity Of the train to
handle 1000 cases.
Side by side with the purely physical
aspect OF the anti-typhus expedition.
that of train operation, went the work
OF education. In every city or town
visited, the train officers arranged con-
ferences with the leading officials, mill
itary and civilian, Of the district who
were III charge Of sanitary, medical or
surgical work, and placed the Red Cross
facilities at their disposal Where dan

felt that in failing to obtain the
Rhine frontier and in taking in ex-
change more or less unsubstantial
pledges of future assistance from
America and Britain Clemenceau
betrayed the country he had saved.
Left to himself, Clemenceau
would probably not even have asked
the Sarre Basine There could never
be French statesman more impa-
tent of imperialistic and chauvinistic
purposes than the man who had up
set his own ministry only few
years before rather than refrain
from assailing Declasse for that
minister's policy, which had almost
led to war with Germany at the
Tangiers time. But had Clemenceau

Lloyd George and Wilson pledged.
so far as they could, British and
American support, a defensive al
lance, if France would forego what
the greatest soldier in the world
himself Frenchman-insis was
the minimum guarantee of future
military security.
In America certain fraction of
so-called liberals are accustomed to
assert that Clcmenceau's unpopu-
larity at home grew out of his cham
pionship of imperialistic aspirations.
In point of view, bitter as are the
Socialists, hostile as they have at
all times been, they are no more
hostile or more bitter than that con-

doubtful if his ministry could have

The outcry Of the Socialist wing
in the French parliament over the
Sarre Basin and other details in the
peace treaty is in the main merely
the use of a pretext to as
sail an enemy. Not a few of
those Socialists who to-day are
receiving American applause be-
cause of their criticisms of the
Treaty of Versailles were open or
secret Supporters Of CaillauX and
advocates of a surrender peace with
Germany when Clemenceau came
to power. They were ready to
make any sacrifice to get peace.
They were proclaiming from one
end of France to the other that the

of even worse epidemics.
There is ample testimony as. to the
good work accom- lished by the eXpedi-
ton, some of it from businesslike of
ticials who were, in the beginning, If
the train would be a success. When
typhus began to die down with the
coming summer, and the train was TAX
en- to Omsk with its supplies all dis
tributed, the question arose as to its
disposition. General Knox, head of the
British Military Mission, who has seen
the train and knows of its operations
tclegraphed to Vladivostok. The train
has "done grand work." he wired. at
must not be scrapped."
The train left Nladivostok February

engaged in it's relief work. The director
was Captain F. A. Dallyn. Of the Ca

long experience. On April 2. Dallyr

is impossible to deny, the Clemen-
ceau failures.
Nor must one forget the fact that
this old man. in many ways the
greatest civilian figure of the whole
war, had been for more than sixty
years fighting in French politics
single He counted more
enemies than any other Frenchman.
He gloried in the savageness of the
phrases by which he destroyed his
political opponents, and however
much these opponents may have
been forced by the very circum-
stances of the war to refrain from
attacking Clemenceau before the
victory was won, no such prohibition
succeeded the German surrender.
Finally, Clemenceau's decision to
yield to Anglo-American policy in
the matter of the Rhine frontier
was followed by a similar accept
ance Of the policy of Mr.. Wilson
and Lloyd George in the case of
Italy. They were. and there remain,
many thousands of we'll Informed
F'renchmen who believe that sound
! French policy in the peace confer
ence would have been comprehended
in an insistence upon obtaining the
Rhine barrier and an equally uncom-
promising support Of Italian de-
4 ,nands. J., such fashion, these
Frenchmen believe. France would
have at one time obtained security
upon two frontiers, assuring her
alike Of a barrier against Germany
and of a friendly association with
Italy
