Most Austrians Suffer From Raw
ages Of the Many Wartime
MaIadieS.
Serawny, Limp, ListIess From MaInu-
triton and Seldom Smile or Play
American Red Cross Is
Helping.

London.-Dr. Ethel Williams, a New
castle doctor of 30 years experience,
recently has returned to England from
Vienna. She attended the Woman's
International conference at Zurich,
where she heard so much about the
conditions of disease in Austria that
she decided to see for herself what
those conditions really were. = She
spent a week in Vienna, visiting the
hospitals and the school kitbS ems,
studying medical statistics, interview
Ing representative people, and seeing
as much as she could of the city.
Speaking to a Manchester Guardian
representative, she said:
what impressed me most was the
appalling condition of every old per-
son I saw, and of 95 per cent of the
children. The old people were like
walking deaths heads. There are so
many things that persons over sixty
cannot digest. The mortality among
the old has increased by $50 per cent.
"What struck me most when walk
ing about the streets was that there
were no toddlers. Children Of three
and even four years were carried by
their mothers. The children did not
run about, or shout, or quarrel. 1t
was four days before / saw a child
playing.
Most Children Emaciated.
At least 95 per cent Of the practical
ly well children were painfully enact
ated, with discolored circles around
their sunken eyes and the tendons Of
their necks showing like those of old
people. Even middle-class children
have these scrawny necks, and when
they run their cheeks flap like those
of old people. But they seldom run
They are all limp and listless.
"The scene in the out-patients' de-
partment at the biggest state chill
dren's hospital was pitiful-no sound
or attempt to play. The children sat
quietly on their mothers knees or
against q wall.
II saw several cases of osteo-mala-
CHA, a disease so rare before the war
that the only two cases I had ever
seen had been shown to me as a curl
osity. 1t seems to come from lack of
fresh food, and there have been $50
cases in Vienna, and l heard of an
other epidemic in a German town.
"The bones soften and become dis
torted, the pelvis bones fold inward.
In early stages it is durable, but a bad
case never will walk again, and a
rather bad case always will have diff
Guilty in walking.
"The cases were those of older chill
dren and adults. They told me that
the hospitals were receiving about Is

turn away inevitably must become

child the father said: Don't touch

| had hurt him, but the child was too
listless to shrink from the pain.
THE doctors could do practically
nothing for the out-patients who could
rot be taken to the hospitals. The
mothers were in despair. The doctors
said the greatest want of all was for
cod liver oil. Funds raised in England
had sent a supply, but it only lasted
two days. Practically every child Tn
der two is rickety.

ut is extraordinary how little Wen
ma has suffered from war epidemics
such as typhus. The enormous increase
In sickness is due to starvation disease.
Almost all of its child population is
stunted, starved, left without vitality,
vigor or energy. An enormous num-
Der are %tubercular and a considerable
proportion of these will die. Another
considerable proportion will for all
their lives probably be stunted in mind
and body, and all will be handicapped"
The children of school age provided
with one meal of soup and bread in the
day by American Red Cross workers at
a special kitchen she visited were
watched lest they should take the bread
home. "You must eat the bread" the
workers told them. GAIL that we can do

FAMINE IN MEN
TO FIGHT FIRES

One large fire in the Pack river dis
trict, northern Idaho, burst entirely
beyond control and spread over forty
i've square miles of territory without
showing the least signs of dying down.
Men to fight it were few and far be-
tween.
War Against Flames.
In Spokane as well as the coast
cities the forest service is waging re-
cruiting campaigns similar to those
carried on during the war. 1t is a
war-against flames almost as d~estruc-
tive to America as the flames that
broke out in Europe.
Lumberjacks, those big-shouldered
veterans of the forest life, make the
finest fire fighters. This summer they
have had little chance to. engage in
their regular work of cutting timber,
and have bent all their efforts to saw
ing the forests that house the nation.
The forest service maintains a cease
less lookout. AS soon as smoke is dis
cerned the news is flashed to head
quarters; a crew is hastily recruited
and equipped, and sent into the burn
ing area with full supplies Of food,
tools and bedding.
But they have little chance to use
the bedding. Fire fighting is. an ALI
night all-day job.
How Fire Is Beaten.
The only successful method of stop
ping a fire is to get in front Of it,
clear a wide trail, and widen it by
backfiring.
A slight change of wind will make
the back fire cross the trail and en-
danger the workers lives.
Blazing trees frequently fall with
the wind, across the trail, and undo
the work of a day.
One result of the epidemic Of fires
in the present summer will be a Wig
orous effort. on the part Of lumber
companies and forestry men alike, to
secure from congress a greater APP
preparation for the forest service than
ever before. Americas forests are no
longer so numerous and well-grown
that the trees can be sacrificed with.
out national suffering.
