ISSUE WARNING
 DEALING WITH VACATION TYPHOID
Care Should Be Exercised, Says State Health De-
 partment.

Hartford, July 31-An official warn ing regarding vacation typhoid was issued yesterday by the State Depart ment of Health, explanation being made of the annual increase of ty- phoid fever around vacation time.
 A majority of these cases result from coming In contact with carriers first, and then with eating food. milk or water, that has been contaminat- ed by water, asserted Dr. T. Eben Reeks. 'It behooves people to drink water that Is known by local health tor. "It is also wise to consult local health authorities in regard to reputa- ble milk, and care should be exer- cised as to where persons bathe. Dc not bathe in waters that receive sew age from nearby cities.'
 The doctor maintained that if these instructions were followed out, there would be fewer cases of typhoid dur ing the summer months.
 Dr. Reeks said that reports are coming in slowly of typhoid cases in different parts of the state. ''If these directions were followed out, we would stop about 50 per cent. of 1ne typhoid cases-and that means five or six deaths-to say nothing of the ex- pense of illness and loss of work, as well as anxiety to others he added.
 Explanation was made that certain streams which are known to be part ly contaminated with sewage are be- ing posted by the health departm ent as being dangerous for bathing or drinking.
 Between 50 and so per cent. more children have typhoid this year than in previous years, it was said yeSter- day, and the majority of these are boys. This leads to the theory that the increase in typhoid may be partly attributed to early bathing.

By way or preface. may say that left Archangel on April 2, and reached London some days ago. My personal observations in Russia ex- tended over a period of nearly six yoars and in that time I witnessed every act of the great drama at close quarters.
 began my Mission to St Peters burg in 1913. At tho outset formed a certain friendship with the Tsar Nicholas. and I confess I deeply de plore tho terrible tragedy which closed his sorrowful life. l place no credonce whatever in the recent ru- nor that he is still alive.
 Nicholas was, contrary to public improssaonz. c very intelligent man, O good patriot, a Russian national ist, and, above all, an almost ideal parsonage for the role of Constitu tionai Monarch. His entourage was his ruin A faulty endowment of will power made his undoins, and in such an envtronmeent as the Russian Court in the last years of it's exist once, almost inevitable. Tho Empress, against whom have no wish to launch any sensational accusations was as strong of will as her husband was weak: but, coupled with this ex- coptional quality in a highly nervous woman, she was peculiarly ignorant of those affairs of state and polit- cal questions in which she made 1t her bushes to fneddle. The weak will of the Tsar, the strong but misdi- rected will of the Empress, and tho evil influences in the Emperial en- tourage contributed to the downfall of c ruler who, under the cIrcum- stances, might have won the favor of bis own people and the approba- ton of tho whole world.
 An Encouraging Situation.
 The situation in Russia today is very encouraging to those who await with fmpatience the final dissipation of Bolshevism. The munitions of the Bolsheviks arc being exhausted and cannot be replaced. The supply of food is rapidly declining. The means of communication are becoming dis located. The transport, therefore, of such munitions and such food a-s may still be available is rendered most difficult; indeed, transport Is prac- tiraiIy impossible except by the River yolga When the Bolsh eviks lose con- trol of this groat waterway-and the hour is striking-all will be gone, and their sway of crime will end.
 At this moment last year, few peo- pie foresaw the abrupt collapse Of Germany. The Hohenzollerns appear cd to be capable of surviving another winter in Berlin, and their troops yet another winter in the field. The fall of the German Empire occurred so suddenly that 1t caused surprise.
 In Russia I forsee the same in- at,ntaneous extinction of the Bolshe- yfk forces This summer, or In the carly autumn, Bolshevism will die count little upon the effect of Al lied intervention. Kolchak and hi' Ru.sians of the East represent req state-politically and administrative ly-and they are entitled to the full lest recognition.

PLAN JOINT
 COMMERCIAL
 MISSION TO US.
Will Inform Us of Part To Be Played in Rebuilding of Europe.

Invitations extended by the Cham Der of Commerce of the United States to Great Britain, France, Italy and Belgium for Q joint comm ercial Mis- sion to visit this country in the fall have been accepted. This nounced today at the ashington of flee of the Chamber. Elliott H. Good win General Secretary of the Cham Der, and Ben. H. Iaube, associate ed- ttor of the Nations Business, are in London to complete final arrange nents.
 The Bridgeport Chamber of Com merce has requested the Chamber of Commerce Of the U. s. A. to include Bridgeport among the cities which will be visited by the distinguished guests that they may inspect its in dustries and housing and other points of interest, and hopes for e. favorable reply within a few days.
 The Missions are due to reach the United States the latter part of Sep ] tember to participate, at Atlantic | City during the week of Septemb Der 1 29, in an International Trade Con- l ference. This conference will be at | tended, according to present plans, | by at least 6 thousand leaders in | American business, who in meetin gs 1 with members of the Missions will l discuss many phases or international ! trade relations. At the conclusion of | the International Trade Conference 1 the plan Is for the Missions to tour ! the country, visiting the chief indus 1 trial and commercial centers. The | return to Europe will be about No | vember 1.
 On the tour, which will be con- i ducted under the auspices of the Ma
 tonal Chamber and its member or
 ganizations, the Missions, through 1 conferences and public meetings, will | the part they can take in the rehab- l ilitation of Europe.
 | At least two of the Missions will ' be headed by cabinet members and | a government representative will ac- 1 company each. Each Mission will in-
 clude five principals and a number ! of assistants and secretaries, making | party altogether of from 50 to 60 The government departments at ] Washington are cooperating with
 the National Chamber in arranging g
 for the Missions stay in the United
 States.
 The main purpose of the visit and
 of the International Trade Conferencc
 to be held at Atlantic City is to ac-

 closer relations between this country
 and her European associates in the

course The brutality with which its theories were put into practise was suspfciously akin to the brutality ex- hibited in Belgium and Northern France by the German invaders. Both the Bolsh eviks and the Germans were peculiarly atrocious in their treat ment of wom en. In certain Russian To- calities there Is no doubt that the women were declared nationalized The Germans also systemized the vio- lation of French and Belgium wo- men, as we well know. But Bolshe- vism will pass away as the Germans tyranny has passed away in the West And the passing will be swift and sudden. That at any rate, is my firm belief
