Cholera Epidemic is
Appearing in China
(By Associated Press)

SHANGHAI, Sept. IL. - Cholera
which became epidemic in China this
summer for the first time since 1872,
had appeared in five northern prov
inces by the middle of August. Shang-
hal was the largest center in which
the disease developed and in this port,
which handles about half Of China's
foreign trade, shipping suffered heavy
losses and mails were delayed. After
the port had been declared to be in
fected last July by Japanese authorl-
ties and by Hong Kong, many vessels,
particularly those bound for America,
ceased to call.
No accurate records of the epidemic
were kept anywhere. but it was esti-
mated that in Shanghai and its envl-
rons probably ten thousand cases had
developed from a population of about
two millions. In about four thousand
cases that received hospital treatment
here the death rate was approximately
6 per cent.
No fatalities occurred among the
foreign population of Shanghai UP to
the time the disease appeared to have
run it's course in August. In Tien Tsin
however, three soldiers Of the Fiji
teenth United States infantry sue
cumbed to the disease.

which accident thrusts upon humble
folk. I'VE are all servants" Frau
Ebert often reminds her guests. ITO
my mind" the presidents wife con-
tinues, every woman should cook and
sew, whilst all the men should grow
something good to eat There
never was a gospel founded on solder
bedrock than that, though, of course,
it needs the leaven which gives us life
not by bread alone.
WHAT she may or may not think OF
Ebert's support of the war along with
the bulk of German Socialists with the
understanding that they were to- share
in the booty, we do not know.
For all her "old shoe" plainness,
Frau Ebert is vain enough to leave
her glasses at home when she goes
abroad. And like the true wife she is
she believes IN her husbands gifts
and mission. Perhaps she holds that
the fatherlands woes are largely due
to the belated recognition of his gen
ius. But, OF course, he needs a wo-
mans guidance. All men" Frau
Ebert hints, ARE a little mad, like
Hamlet. Their safety lies in needing
femiine intuition" Unhappily for
Them and for the world, many a chosen
son Of democracy and many Of a great
conQueror Of the Caesars has gone to
an ugly doom because he needed the
wrong sort of woman.

GENEVA, Sept 12-Prince Firouz
kann, Persian foreign minister, speak
ing in behalf of the Shah, told the
Associated Press today he could not
understand why reports that the An
alo-Persian treaty had created Brit
ish protectorate in Persia, were given
credence in Europe.
This is entirely incorrect" he de-
clared. 1T was Persia which took
the initiative and asked the help of
Great Britain because Persia was
ruined and in a state Of anarchy, with
bands of brigands infesting the coun-
try, destroying the commerce and en-
dangering the lives of citizens. In the
meantime the government was Wiz.
tually without troops and powerless
to restore order, retaking authority
only in the principal towns"
