An extract from the state DuIIe-
tin follows:
"Diphtheria and scarlet fever
have long been recognized and
feared as malignant and dangerous
diseases. Typhoid has been re-
garded as scourge, but through
the rapid strides Of medical science
has been minimized by vaccina-
ton. Malaria, the horror of the
early settlers, has been relegated
to the bottom of the mortality
tables. But measles. that harm

HUNS PREPARE TO
 ANSWER ENTENTE
Cabinet Devotes Less Than Half Hour to Formulating
 Answer.

Berlin, Saturday, April 19 -(By The Associated Press)-The cabinet devoted less than half an hour to the formulation of it's answer to the En- tente's invitation to Versailles for the purpose of receiving a draft of the walls in official circles tonight and The Associated Press Is told that there are no illusions as to obtaining any mitigation in the dictatorial peace awaiting Germany.
 The procedure of the council of four came as a surprise. notwithstand- ing the fact that the news for the last week fOreshadowed it and it is inter- preted in cabinet circles and at the foreign office as final proof that the Entente is disinclined forthwith to en- ter into negotiations on President Wilson's fourteen points, and that the terms awaiting Germany are cut and dried.
 The German emissaries will merely have instructors to carry the peace document back to Berlin. The ques- tion whether present government will d6SuHle lIle FeSpONSlDllIy or accepting or rejecting the terms, or whether it will present them for a national referendum is a matter of conjecture.
 Official opinion 50 far was opposed to the declination of a referendum and in favor of peremptory declina- ton of peace terms based on any oth- CT proposition than MT. wilson's plat form. as the present temper of the German working men is anti-capital- istic and anti-imperiaIistic and the bourgeoisie is in full accord with the proletarIat.
 The present government, 1t has been learned is not flirting with the idea, of a plebiscite, as it would much rather negotiate peace and set the country at work. But it Is also conscious that a peace settlement in which Germany has not had a, voice would precipitate a. storm of national resentment which no cabinet could weather.
 The communication from the En- tente Powers was received here last Friday and the German answer was wired back this afternoon. Philipp Scheidemann. the chancellor, called in representa- tives of the German press at o'clock this evening and inform ed them of the governments action. The public will receive it's first in formation as to events on Easter morning.

Boston, April 21-The Victory Loan campaign opened with a bang in New England. Henry B. Endicott headed the individual list in Boston with a subscription of $1,00O.0OO.
 The first New England town off cially reaching lover the top' was Orleans, Vt, with a quota of S45,OO0.

Derby Conn.,, was in before noon, Middle town, was the first Connecticut City to over subscribe its quota
 The first society to file it's sub scription was LUnion St. Jean Bap- tiste D'Amerique of Pawtucket, R l., which signed up for $1O,OO0. In this city the Boston five cent saving bank took S3,0OO,OOO; the John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company and the Provident Institution for Saving each S2,OOO.OOO; the New England Mutual Life Insurance Co.,, S15OO.- GOO, and the Home Savings Bank and the Folk Savings Bank $1,OOO.O 900 each

BOL LSHEvIKI IN
 CONTROL AND
 CAIN RECRUITS

Vienna, Saturday, April 19-CBy the Associated Press)-Forces com manded by PetIura. the Ukrainian peasant leader, have retaken Khito- mir and ProsQurov and also secured the adhesion of 10000 Bolshevik troops, particularly those originating g in East Ukraine, according to a wire less despatch received here from Tar nopoI.
 It would appear that Petlura's plan. which he forecast some time ago to the Associated Press of cutting behind the BoIsheviki advancing into Bessa- ra bia and toward Odessa, is succeed ing. Certain members of the Buda- pect Soviet have airplanes ready for flight iH case the situation becomes serious for them. The Austrian gov q 1nment, in al peal 10 the communists in Vienna, declared that if they con tinue their efforts they will bring them to justice.
 Among the Hungarians under ar rest is Edward Steiner, a Red Guard officer. In his rooms in a leading hotel the police found more than l. 0OO,0 900 kroner as well as a large quantity of women's jewels and rings, and ffty-fve gold cigaret cases. The JtNSIIA anu money lS SsA1N LO IlSdN C come from Budapest where the Red Guards requisitioned and nationaliz- ed property
 It is declared that the Austrian government has requested the Hun garian government to withdraw its minister here Bella Kun, the Hun garian foreign minister, in a tele- gram to the Austrian government de- nies that he aided in starting the trouble here.
 Reports received here from Buda- pest indicate that the community gov ernment there is disappointed over the result of the attempted rising here and also is uneasy because of the advance of French and Rumanian troops in Pennsylvania.

Teuton Officials Claim the

 representatives of Great Britain France and Italy, the three nations together with Russia, signatory to the treaty of London, framed at London in 1915 before the entry of Italy into the war on the side of the Entente were in conference and that Presl- dent Wilson was not present. It was also announced that he would not pc present when conversations were re- opened today.
 MT. Wilson has stood out against recognition of the treaty of London upon which ItaIy's maximum terri torial claims are based, and his ab- sence from the meeting yesterday might have been caused by the fact that the Italians were invoking that convention in support Of their terri torial claims.
 Dispatches from Paris, however, re- fleet a rather positive attitude on the part of the Peace Conference, which 1t is said, will inform Germany that the men she sends to Versailles must have power to sign the treaty of peace. It is said that the first act of the meeting to be held on April p will be to demand evidence from the Germans that they possess such pow CTS.
 Bolsheyism is again on the back track on the western Ukrainian front, the strength of the Soviet forces having apparently been con- centrated in the effort to overrun the Crimca, which has been successful. The cities of Zh ! omir and ProskurOv, in the Ukraine, have been re-taken from the Bolsheviki by forces com manded by simon Petlura, the UE- rainian peasant leader. It is an nounced that 10000 Bolshevik sol diers have deserted in a body and have joined the Ukrainians.
 In northern Russia, BOlshevihi forces are in retreat and are being closely pursued by British, American and Russian troops.
 Vienna is in the hands of Soviet adherents. It appears the transfer of authority there was brought about without great disorder or blOodshed. Munich is probably still held by So- viet forces, but German government troops before the BaVarian ca apital have been reinforced by soldiers from Wuerttemberg.

April 21-(Havas)- s)-Repre- sentatives of the Catholic workmen's syndicate met a delegation of the General Labor Federation Sunday in an effort to bring about the union of the two labor organizations. The meeting. however, failed of it's pur- pose as the Catholic delegates refused to give their support to the plan of the general confederation to wage a class fight on behalf of labor.
 A resolution was adopted by the representatives of the two organiza- tions declaring that they should work in common for an eight-hour way, the fixing of minimum wage and equal pay for equal work with regard to women. The question of the two parties joining to secure adoption of these reforms was left to the decision of the district organizations.
