RED CROSS FIGHTS
TYPHUS TO PREVENT
SPREAD TO AMERICA

Kavalla, Macedonia, April 5.-tBy
MAZDA desperate fight is now being
waged by Greek, British, French, Am
erican Red Cross and United States
army physicians 10 confine the out
break of typhus raging in Macedonia
to its breeding ground and to prevent
its spread to Europe and America. An
expedition of American doctors and
nurses has been rushed 10 Macedonia
TO combat the disease.
Red Cross workers in Macedonia are
fighting conditions of a most discour'
aging nature. The Struma valley is
low, swampy and malarial. Here
thousands of British and allied soldiers
died of disease during the war. The
road from Kavalla TO Drama and from
Drama to Serres is a morass Of faith
omess mud.
An American army doctor who has
waded through Flanders writes:
To-day we are carrying our supplies
Cross women riding the mountain
lagos through roads several feet deep
in mud. Rains are frequent and heavy
and fogs penetrate our bones. Red
trails, swimming their horses across
rivers, plodding through mud. braving
typhus at every turn are carrying on
their work with the spirit of the pioneer
women of our own America.
The filth and stencil OF the SO called
cities, heaps Of ruins after six years
of war, are beyond description. The
main streets in Pravi and the high
way from the railway station in Drama
to the public square surpass the often
siveness anything | have ever seen.
There is no wood for heating here
and no stoves. The Bulgars have
swept the country absolutely bare. on |
ly the bare walls of the buildings in |
a hundred villages remain. All water
must be boiled"
The typhus dead are removed from
IT'D tobactp warehouses at kavaAa
in groups each day.

Changes have already begun in

the decentralization of the economic

Lorraine and for the region just south
of Paris. There will eventually be
about twenty in all, corresponding IN
number to the military departments.
Nothing more is contemplated for
the moment in this reform than con-
sultatlve function by bodies in each
regio composed of representatives Of
chambers of commerce. 1t Will afford
manufacturers and business men an
opportunity to cooperate with the gov
ernment i'm the settlement of questions
of special interest 10 their respective
regions.
There Is on the calendar of the
chamber of deputies a bill that goes
much farther. 1t proposes the sub
stitution of about twenty regions
for the eighty.seven departments into
which France was divided after the
revolution. giving the regions legis-
lative bodies with power to make laws
affecting only local interests.
This proposed reform would give the
regions closer resemblance to the
states of the American union than
that presented by the departments now
existing. These departments having
little initiative in public affairs. every
thing has been centralized in Paris.
Affairs Of purely local interest We're
often so bound up in red tape in the
capital that local initiative regarding
them was stifled. The beginning now
made by the minister of commerce is
hailed as a promising indication that
eventually the whole reform plan will be
adopted.

are all men who have had at least the
