Most Austrians Suffer From Raw
ages Of the Many Wartime
Maladies.
CHILDREN ARE EVACUATED
Scrawny, Limp, ListIess From Mainu-
triton and Seldom Smile or Play
American Red Cross Is
Helping.

London.-Dr. Ethel Williams, New
castle doctor of 80 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 week in Vienna, visiting the
hospitals and the school Kitchens,
studying medical statistics, interview
ing representative people, and seeing
as much as she could of the city.
Speaking to Manchester Guardian
representative, she said:
what impressed me most was the
appalling condition of every old per-
son 1 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 We're carried by
their mothers. The children did not
run about, or shout, or quarrel. 1t
was four days before l saw child
playing.
Most Children Emaciated.
At least 95 per cent of the practical
ly well children We're 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 wall.
II saw several cases of osteo-mala-
CHA, disease so rare before the war
that the only two cases l had ever
seen had been shown to me as Curl
osity. 1t seems to come from lack of
fresh food, and there have been $50
cases In Vienna, and heard of an
other epidemic in a German town.
"The bones soften and become dis
tOrted, the pelvis bones fold inward.
In early stages 1t is durable, but bad
case never will walk again, and
rather bad case always will have diff
Guilty in walking.
"The cases were those of older chill
dren and adults. They told me that

FAMINE IN MEN \.
TO FIGHT FIRES

One large fire in the Pack river dis
beyond control and spread over forty
five 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 DIS 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 destruc-
tive to America as the flames that
broke out in Europe.
Lu1nberjacks, 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 cease
less lookout. AS soon as smoke is dis
cerned the news is flashed to head
quarters; 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 all
night all-day job.
How Fire Is Beaten.
The only successful method of stop
ping fire is to get in front of it,
clear a wide trail, and widen it by
backfring.
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 day.
One result of the epidemic of fires
in the present summer will be Wig
orous effort. on the part of lumber
companies and forestry men alike, to
secure from congress 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.

of Americas richest lumber lands and
cause damage that will not be replaced

before he closed the door he heard

which his performance had inspired.

who were engaged in absorbing co..

then swore again at the fat old dafkey,

behind the new houses, on his way
home. These structures were now ap-

state Of rawness hideous to George-
though. for that matter. they were
never to be anything except hideous
to him.
In this temper he emerged from b.
hind the house nearest his own and.
glancing toward the street, saw his
mother standing with Eugene Morgan
upon the cement path that led to the
front gate. She was bareheaded and
Eugene held his hat and stick In his
hand; evidently he had been calling
upon her, and she had come from he

to face each other. and Isabel's glanee,
