Tubercular Death Rate in Balkans
 Extremely High

Burchaest, Oct. 10-The tubercu- losis death rate in the Balkans is the highest in the world, asserts the me dical staff of the American Red Cross headquarters here. Th,s Is based on reports from Red Cross workers in Rumania, Serbia, Albanla, and Montenegro.
 The distressing factors is that the countries are almost wholly without sanitoriums for the treatment of tuberculosis. Red Cross relief Is temporary and it is considered be- yond it's province to found sanitorlums on the scale that would be needed.
 Miss Viola L. Nohr. of Ripon, Wis consin, nurse who for many moths has been treating patients in all parts of Albania reports that she found tuberculosis in almost every Albanian family. The percentage has been placed at about 80 percent. Dr. Geraldine E. Watson, of Brook lvn. N. r., reports: "Thousands of children are dying of consumption in Montenegro. The percentage of tu- berculosis in children is fearfully high. The probable source of infec- tion is the milk of tubercular cattle with which the country is overrun."
 Dr. Margaret W. Johnson. for merly the superintendent of the Chi caeo hospital writes:
 Tuberculosis in it's many forms is most prevalent throughout Serbia The people are not educated so that trying to instruct them through in l terpretors is slow work Only z graphic campaign with posters show ing cause and effect has any value here where ignorance of sanitation diet and even household remedies are 1 universal.

Would Bring Peace To Warning Parts
 of Chinese Nation

Shanghai, Aug. 15.-(Correspon- dence of The Associated Fress.)-A definite move to bring about peace factions in China was made this between the Northern and Southern month when the Peking government appointed Wang Yi-tang, a former minister of Finance, to head North ern peace delegation to take up again with the Southern representa- tives the negotiation that were brok- en off last Spring. At that time re- jected eight demands made by the South and so brought to an end the Shantung peace conference.
 The eight demands of the Canton government comprised the following:
 Abrogate all secret treaties with Japan.
 Punish the officials who negotia- ted the secret Japanese treaties.
 Dismiss military and civil gover- nors of provinces who had violated certain laws.
 Disband the Northern defense army.
 Rescind the mandate of 1917 by which the old parliament-the body that removed to Canton and there set up the Southern government was declared to be dismissed. Recognize President Hsu Shih- chang only as provisional president. What if any, qualifications the Canton government has expressed a willingness to make in it's demands have not been clearly defined. Late in August it was learned that private negotiations to withdraw troops had been in progress between militaryo leaders of the North and South who apparently sought to hold a peace conference of their own at Nanking. Since the Peking govern ment has appointed a new peace dele gate, the opinion has been advanced that this military conference may not be held.
 The great masses of people in China have scant concern with the strife which has been disrupting the country.
 Whatever division might have ex- 1 isted between the masses of people 1 in the North and the South, was swept away by announcement from 1 Paris that the city of Tsingtao and l the rights formerly held by the Ger mans in the province cf Shantune 1 had been awarded to the Japanese The whole country, North and South saw that no action to avert the con- seuuences of the Shantung decision could be taken with China divided i against itself and this wave of popu. lar sentiment grew into an im""rtan' factor for the restoration of interna peace.

SIX MEN HOLD UP VESSEL; TAKE B
 MILLION RUbLES
Russian Robbery is Conducted With Daring of American
 Train Banditry.

Batoum, Cancasia, Aug. 29, via Paris, Sept. 16.--(By mail.)-Six robbers, travelling as passengers con- .mandeered the Russian steamer Con- stantine on her latest trip between this port and Constantinople, and robbed a selected list of wealthy pas sengers of 3O,OO0,000 rubles. The robbery was conducted with the dar- inc and finish of an American train hold-up.
 The Constantine carried merchants from Tiflis, Baku, Bagdad and Fri van, proceeding to Constantinople to purchase goods, with cash in gold and Rcmanoff rubles for the purpose. There was nothing to indicate the ship was within 12 hours of Bos- phorus, when the captain and crew. at the point of pistols, were ordered forward and the engines stopped. The leading merchants were lined up, as their names were read from list. and their persons and baggage searched. It was case of all fire arms on the deck and arms aloft. The crew and the humber passengers were not molested.
 The captain was ordered to navl- gate his ship close to shore, the pile of firearms was tossed into life boat, and the robbers moved to land. They immediately disappeared in the hills of Anatolia. The members of the crew who rowed them ashore re- ceived 6 handsome tip.
 Robberies around the Black sea be- come bolder and of daily occurance. Forty persons were rounded up on the highroad outside Sonchi yester- day and the valuables and better clothing of the party taken. The affair of the Constantine, however, is the first time that bandits have transferred their activities to the water.
