Typhus Adds Misery
To Starving Russia,
Says Business Man
Lack of Medicines and Soap
Hinders Fight to Check
Epidemic; Dead Await
Burial for Many Weeks

. PARIS, March 10 (By The Associated
Press ).-Typhus is adding to the hor-
rors Of hunger and disorder in Mos
COW, which the population has chris
tened "The Graveyard" according to q
British business man who has Just
arrived in Paris from Russia. There
are no disinfectants or medicines, with
which to fight the epidemic, and no
soap. Hot water is scarce, because of
the shortage of fuel, and the result is
that the freezing and disheartened
public is unable to protect itself.
Recently railway officials in Mos
COW, the business man reports, ordered
the crowd out OF the Central Railway
station to clean it and found the bodies
of five victims of the cyphus, which
had been lying for days among the
peasants sleeping on the floor The
undertakers are unable to meet the de-
mands made upon them and the bodies
OF typhus victims await burial for
weeks. The winter has been unusally
cold.
Under orders of the Soviet govern
ment virtually all stores have been
nationalized, but stocks are so small
that clerks make little effort to serve
the public. Let's and Chinese are the
only forces Lenine and Trotzky regard
as loyal, the business man says. Rus
SANS of all classes are serving the
Soviet government to obtain food.
The situation in Petrograd was said
to be worse
When the Britisher left Moscow, cat
and dog meat was selling for rubles
pound and horse meat was bringing
l8 rubles pound Beef occasionally
was sold secretly for % rubes a
pound. Occasionally little black
-four sold in villages distant from Mos
cow and Petrograd for about So a
pound. Ruble exchange fluctuates be-
tween 6 and 10 cents

Strikers in Berlin
Return to York as
Ebert Reaches City

LONDON, March 1O-Work was re-
sumed to-day throughout the greater
part of Berlin, following the calling
off of the strike, according to advices
via Copenhagen.
President Ebert and Secretary Lands
berg have arrived in Berlin from
Weimar.
Late Sunday the Berlin Workmen's
Council decided to issue an order OF
ficially calling off the general strike
The decision, according to a dispatch
from Amsterdam, followed a stormy
session Of the council in which the
Independent Socialists accused the Ma
jority Socialists Of treason to the
proletarian cause, and the Spartacides
charged the Independents with weak
ening the cause by compromises.
Events at Berlin have produced
renewal of Spartacido agitation in the
upper Silesian coal fields, and,
though order has been maintained,
the situation there is tense.
Many were killed and wounded in
serious fighting at Halle, Germany,
on Saturday, according to Copen-
hagen dispatch to the Central News
Spartacides are said to have drowned
many students and officers in the
river there, and it is reported that
there was a general pillage in the
parts Of the city where the fighting
took place. Government troops eventu-
ally gained the mastery, it is said.

LONDON, March 1O-Practically all
American soldiers and sailors have
been withdrawn to-day from the Lon
don district as a sequel to Sundays
riot. Admiral Sims, General Mitchell
and General Sir Neville McReady con-
ferred to-day, the Americans resenting
strongly the statements in some papers
that they alone were responsible for
the disorder.
A combined American naval and mill
itary board sat to-day in an inquiry
into the case. One hundred and fifty
witnesses will be examined before the
inquiry will be completed.
That colonial soldiers also attacked
the police was proved beyond doubt.
Some of the evening London news
papers editorially criticize the London
civil police, saying they caused the
trouble by the attitude they took The
American Y. NJ. c. A. stations declare
they are handling fifty British for
every American soldier and that gam
bling is done as much by the British
as by the Americans.

posed of. Then he will probably make
the trip to Belgium and the devastated
regions Of Northern France. The date
