STORIES OF THE WAR
Fighting Plague Outbreak.

American, British, French and Greek
are striving with might and
main to prevent an outbreak of the
plague in the region extending along
the north shore of the Aegean Sea
from Salonil1i to Constantinople. III
this work the British, French and
Greek armies and the American Red
Cross are cooperating.
America and England as we'll as
the far. off corners of the earth cannot
afford in these days to ignore out
breaks of disease no matter where they
occur" declared a British canitary Of
ficer in charge of the work of cleaning
up Constantinople. IF the plague is
allowed to breed here in the Near East
sooner or later it will reach England
and America And its ravages if al
lowed to spread will exceed those of
the So called influenza
Eastern Macedonia which has been a
battle-ground for centuries and which
since 1912 has been fought over again
and again is today horrible mess. The
early summer sun is breeding flies and
mosquitoes by the millions. the I'M
healthy Struma Valley is streaming
with malarial vapors, the streets of
Drama, Series, Kavalla, Xanthi and the
hundreds of other small villages are
filthy beyond belief.
The returned Te1uSeeS i've III sliell-
shattered ruins under sanitary condi-
tons unspeakable. Their rags are
alive with vermin. From the big Red
Cross warehouse at kavalla housing
three hundred families of refugees
from five to dozen dead from typhus
were removed daily last month. The
refugees were easy victims after many
months of semi starvation in Bulgaria.
The children of Eastern Macedonia
are pitiful sights. suffering the results
of semi starvation, with their little ribs
drawn flesh. With hollow lack-lustre
eyes they lie about on the streets in
the sun Indifferent to their fate.
Each day tens of thousands of
loaves of bread are distributed by the
Red Cross in dozens of Serbian. Mace

clothing are given out to the neediest
Seruns against disease are injected in
thousands of peasants and ''declous-
ing" baths are given to those living
in crowded centers.

to grew grass. They certainly need d

This statement coming from a pri-
son official of much experience shows
a need which makes an appeal to
every experienced prison official. The
present warden also condemns the
small cells provided ,on the theory
that prisoners should have something
more than a place so small that 1t is
necessary for them to squeeze into it.

When the time for the summer
vacation comes, and the time for
making plans for that vacation is
here now in spite of the vagaries of
the weather there is going to be some
attention given to tours by automo-
bile by people who can't afford to
travel long distances and who want
to see something OF their own state
Perhaps some of these will make up
their minds to make the tour of the

WHAT THE TRIP SHOWS.

Now that the reports of the COM
manders of the three American sea-
planes have been received concerning
their trip to the Azores it is possible
to get some idea regarding the sta
bility of the machines in which they
crossed and in each instance the re-
port is a decidedly favorable one. 1t
shows that it was through no fault of
the seaplanes that all three did not
reach the designated point at Ponta
Delgada, that engine trouble was not
responsible for the loss of one ma
chine or the injury to the other and
that had the fog not been encoun-
tered it is probable that all three
would be in England today.
This speaks well for the character
of the Liberty motors and the type of
seaplane, while the ability of the
crews in meeting the conditions that
were encountered is not to be over
looked. Not only did the NC-4 go
through without injury but the NC-3
showed that the capacity of the ma
chine for alighting and taking care of
itself in q STERN far exceeded expec-
tations. Much money was expended
in the construction ana development
of these planes for much the kind of
work they have been tested on though
they were intended for use in connec-
ton with the fighting of submarines,
and they have proved to be q piece CT
machinery OH which dependence can
be placed.
There are doubtless many valuable
points which will be Furnished the
builders and operators as the result. of
the undertaking even though bu- one
of the trio reaches Europe and there
is certainly every reason for the
country as we'll as the navy feeling
proud over the accomplishment and
thankful that it has been carried
through without the loss Of life.

THE LAWRENCE STRIKE.

In Lawrence, particularly, but out
side as well, there will be genuine sat-
tsfsetion that the strike which has
oeen underway there for 16 weeks is
At an end and that industrial activity
will be returned TO normal in that
city. As on previous occasions the
strike has been characterized by a to-
tai disregard for law and order. The
strikers. o. that number who refused
to 20 to work, though u large portion
OF the mill employees in the city were
already back in the mills under
te-ms offered by the employers, have
resorted TO all kinds of force in order
to gain their object and disregarded
union orders. The 4S-hour demand
was granted with 4S-hour pay and
for the most part it was accepted.
Those who insisted upon getting the
52-hour pay held out and it is to be
presumed that they will claim a vic
tory now that an increase of IS per
cent. in wages has been granted
Such, however. is hardly the case,
for while the increase will be grant
ed to all and the strikers will be
taken back under the increase, the
raise was agreed upon in common
with the action taken by mills
throughout large part of New Eng
land, while those who have been
working in Lawrence and those in
mills in other cities have not exper-
fenced tho loss of pay for about four
months. The raise came as the result
Of an orderly presentation of demands
and not as the result Of stone and
brickbat throwing. the use of fire
weapons and explosives the resort to
which has terrorized Lawrence for
weeks. 1t was the law-abiding and
sensible body of employees. not the l.
". W. element that brought about
the increase and made it possible for
The strikers to drop their tactics.
