Many Diseases Are
Imported From Russia
Associated Press

STANISLAU, UKRAINE, May 10
- Diseases imported from Russia by
the way of Kiev and Odessa are
spreading TO such an alarming extent
that the government has closed the
frontiers and closely examined civil
refugees and other former prisoners
of war returning to their homes. An
investigation by the International Red
Cross Mission shows that possibly
twenty-five percent Of the population
of Lemberg and other centers of Old
Galicia are infected by the various
forms Of typhus, dysentary, tubercu-
losis or other infectious or mental and
nervous diseases.
The conditions are considered worse
here owing to closer contact with
Russia. In one hospital here are 500
cases of typhus and 600 cases of
social diseases. For population of
5000 900 there are but sixty physi-
clans. Thus far six doctors have died
Of typhua and three others are ill.
The conditions are made worse by
lack of soaps, disinfectants, change Of
clothing and sheets. Virtually all the
window curtains have been requisi-
toned for use as bed clothing or for
making women's underclothes.
Of total Of ESQ drug stores, zoo
are without drugs. In the hospitals
all kinds Of casess are treated In the
same wards
These diseases are spreading partly
from Russia where it is affirmed that
the lser Army is contaminated with
social disease to the extent of seventy
percent Many diseases also were
spread by Russian prisoners who were
interned in Hungary and who have
returned to Russia since the armis
tice was signed. Many of these were
in horrible condition. When set free
by the authorities and told to go
home, they crowded the trains in such
numbers and under such conditions
that thousands died of hunger and
illness on the way. One trainload
stopped here and discharged 800 dead.
More than 5000 such unfortunates
now have been buried here.
In one week there arrived at Kiev
trains freighted with 600 dead. The
diseases are spread partly by vermin.
Lack of food is making conditions
worse. There is no coffee. Tea costs
So pound, bread fifty cents pound,
sugar 81 a pound and coal, wood and
soap so high that it costs fifty cents
to laundry one shirt.

WASHINGTON, May 19 - That
peace will be largely strengthened in
the Western hemisphere by an exten-
sive interchange of thought among
the peoples of the various countries
was the burden of a statement by
Acting Secretary of State Frank l..
Polk today in urging that the news
papers of the United States devote
more attention to news of the Latin
American countries, Mr.. Polk said he
hoped the American newspa pers
would take this means of educating
the people of the United States to
better understand and appreciate the
Importance and greatness of our nei-
ghbors of South and Central America
and pointed out that by leading their
aid to the furtherance of this educa-
tion the newspapers would be full
filling public duty to the govern
ment.

Zone result of the European War

how completely our interests lie in

will be more theoretical than real
but we have and must have closer re-
latiofls with our neighbors in Central
and South America. The people of
Latin America are intensely interes-
ted in the United States. The news
papers of Central and South America
print great deal of news about this
country. would be of incalculab BILE
berfit if the newspapers of the United
States would pay more attention to
news regarding Latin America and in
very short time these newspapers
could educate the public to seek fur
ther information and more news about
our neighbors to the South.

Would Beautify
East Greenwood

In it's study of landscape gardening
| with especial reference to improving
i Greenwood the Second Year Science
Class of the High School made a re-
cent visit to the eastern portion of the
city.
The following are some of the
points that they observed: On Howard
and Main Streets walks should be ex-
tended to the curbs in places where
! grass cannot be made to grow on ac-
count of the contys ual tramping of
the feet of pedestrians. These ugly
| black spots hold dust in dry weather
and mud in bad weather and should
be filled with concrete. On Main
Street between Washington and Mar
ket Street several barrels of tar have
been left on the sidewalk. These
were doubtless placed here with the
consent of the city authorities but
have been left too long and should be
removed out of sight because they de-
tract very much from the looks of the
street. Several alleys opening into
Main Street are rather ill-kept. They
should be cleaned of cans and rubbish
and the back fenues painted or white
washed. The s;rnal lights at the in
tersection of street SGd something to
beauty as well as safety.
On WaIshaii gstrees lawns need
more grass and back fences and out
houses are in need of paint or white
wash The grass plots on Pearl st.
need to be levelled up with the walk
and there lis need of more trees.
George Street has some beautiful
trees and there is "a very pretty rose
arber growing over the walk on the
west side of the street between Wash
ington and Church Streets which adds
to the beauty OF this part of the
street. However, some of the lawns
on this street need to be built UP
level with the wall. Lamar Street
presents very pretty appearance
with beautiful trees and well kept
lawns.
Back fences and .outhouses on East
Washington Street present rather
ugly appearance. They should be
either painted or whitewashed. East
Market Street is being improved by
residents but in places there is still
need of more grass and trees. The
owner of a place near the end of
Lamar Street on East Market is MAX
ing some very good improvements by
building up his lawn.
This section of the city is probably
less in need of trees than any other
part of Greenwood, but still a few
more are needed in places. Trees do
a great part toward relieving the
hard outlines of city streets. They
should be placed along the walks or
grouped about houses.
In very few places in this section
of the city is shrubbery used to the
best advantage. Shrubbery should be
placed along the borders, by the walks
and drives so as to leave pretty street
ches of lawns between. It should also
be placed around the foundations of
houses. In this position it serves to
ssbring the house down to the earth" !"
to make it a part of the landscapc.
The foundations of houses should be
entirely severed either by shrubbery
or vines, and if they can also be made
to produce different colors of bios
SONS the picture will be made still
more beautiful Among the vines
there should be some evergreens to
help relieve the bare appearance of
winter.
