SCOURGED BY TYPHUSI
Whole Towns Are Wiped Out in
Poland.
E'tIful Tales of Distress and Suffering
Told by the Red Cross
Mission.

WashingtOn.-Pitiful tales of the dis
tress and suffering throughout eastern
fnd southeastern Poland have been
brought to Warsaw by members of
the American Red Cross mission who
have just returned from an eight-day
tour of inspection during which they
covered 1900 miles and distributed
food, clothing and medicines in 20 cit
les and numerous villages, according
to cable advices to the Red Cross
headquarters here.
Everywhere they found typhus,
which had practically wiped out whole
towns. Smallpox and trachoma also
were prevalent, epidemics threatening
because sick and well are herded to-
gether in many homes.
In many of the isolated villages
starving peasants lined the roadside
and begged for food. For weeks they
had been living on an imitation bread
made from potato Feelings, dirty rye
and the bark of trees, but the supply
of even these ingredients had been
exhausted.

ALASKA SEALS BRING MILLION
Lifting of Ban on Killing Enriches
Golfers of the United States
Treasury Department.

Observation-Disclosures Sam now re-
ceives about 100000 annual revenue
from his Alaska fur seal service ac-
cOrding to a statement by FL. NJ. Smith,
commissioner of fisheries of the de-
partment of commerce.
For several years the killing of seals
was stopped by law, but by an act OF
congress in 1917 it was resumed to a
limited extent, the last year under
vigilant official supervision. Under
the new methods only the surplus
males are killed.
The herds off the Pribyloff islands
are estimated to be made up of about
$4,000 seals, and the number killed
during the last year was about $4,000
The skins after being prepared for
use were sold at an average of 500
each.

HUN SPY TRIED SOAP TRICK
Rintelen Sought to Make 1t Appear
He Was "Dying of Con-

New York-Herr Rintelen, head of
the German spy system in this coun-
try, tried to fool the doctors into think
ing he was dying of tuberculosis.
Rintelen, soon after he was COM
mitted to the Tombs, became peaked
and thin. coughed constantly. paled
and cast up a foamy sputum. The
doctors found no tuberculosis germs,
but the prisoner showed all the other
symptoms.
Eventually the trick was detected.
1t was the old soap game. Rintelen
was eating soap. So instead of get
ting to a hospital whence he planned
to escape. he was sent to the Atlanta
penitentiary and when deprived of
soap speedily recovered.

HOW STEEL PRICE WAS CUT
Chiefs Of Industry Called In by Peek
and Matter Is Finally Settled
No Government Control, but
Purely a Voluntary
Arrangement.

Washington-"The is every rea-
son to expect lower food prices in
the relatively near future"
So speaks George N. Peek, chair
man of the new industrial board of
the department of commerce.
Peek describes the industrial board
as "the doctor to American business"
He believes the patient should be
well on the way to recovery within
sixty to ninety days.
"And after six months Of conva-
lescing, American business should be
healthier and more prosperous than
ever" he asserts.
Doctor" Peek is now diagnosing
the ailments of the industries which
produce the basic necessities, such as
steel, coal, lumber, brick and build
ing materials. Already he and his as
sistants have brought about reduc-
ton of 10 to Is per cent in the prices
of steel. When the prices of these
commodities have been brought down.
then the board will go after food
prices.
How the System Works.
There's no government control about
it; it's purely a voluntary arrange
ment.
Here's about the way it works
not so informally perhaps, but along
these general lines:
Down in the wood-and-paper build
ing where the council of national de-
tense has given quarters to the indus
trial board there's committee room
with a long, plain table and few
plain chairs.
Into this room Chairman Peek calls
Judge Gary of the United States Steel
corporation, Charles H. Schwab of
Bethlehem Steel and other steel mag
mates. They all come willingly.
"Now, judge" says Chairman Peek
"You know darn well steel prices arg
too high. Nobody's buying any steel
because they can't afford it. Now fit
seems to me it would pay yoU sssat
the price, even if you do lose 1{Iie
by it, so that people would buy. WHAT
do you say?" kA
Sure" says Judge Gary, flicT hg
the ashes off his cigar. "rm willing.
I'll cut prices 10 per cent, if that suits
the rest of you"
That's all right" says Charlie
Schwab. But l think some things
could be cut IS per cent"
THAT'S too much" says some other
magnate. 81 think IL per cent would
be better"
So they agree on II per cent. Then
they take a pad of paper and pencil
and figure out just what they'll charge
for various commodities. This sched-
ule is put into shape, and they all
sign an agreement not to charge more
than it says they'll charge-and there
you are!
One of the best things about this
new and novel method of price fixing
is that labor is perfectly protected.
The industrial board looks after that.
II will permit no cut in prices that
will give the employers chance to
cut wages. SO long as the cost of
living remains high, wages must re-
main high, the board holds, so that
the living standard shall not be low
cred.

Business to Bear Shock.

The theory underlying the whole ar
rangement is that big business, still
holding its profits made during the
war, is in a far better position to
stand the first shock of readjustment
than is the American workingman.
mo one dares buy until prices fall,
and even then everybody will wait to
see how far they fall" says Peek.
"Individual action in lowering selling
prices is therefore long drawn out and
unscientific. It renders the market
unstable and dangerous.
"By sane and temperate action all
this can be avoided"

Of the Nonpartisan League has North

is to control the press, and this has
been done through vicious eonfsca-

on a get-rieh-quick plan that would
put Wallingford to blush. All legal
