RUSSO-POLISH TYPHUS WAVE
DUE TO BAD SANITARY SYSTEM

WARSAW, Saturday.-Inferior sanitary
arrangements on the Russo-Polish frontier
are said to be responsible for the alarming
epidemic of typhus which is raging in
Poland and the Baltic provinces. More
than million cases of the disease have
been reported to Red Cross officials
Refugees from Russia cross the Polish
border without being inspected by health
authorities, it is said, and many OF them
are said to be suffering from typhus or to
be infested with vermin which carry the
disease. Regulations are so lax that these
people are permitted to. mingle with the
people on this side of the frontier and
typhus has spread with amazing rapidity.
The only way Of handling the situation is
to erect sanitary stations, with delousing
plants. at frequent intervals along the bor-
der. but Poland and the Baltic states are
unable to aid financially in this undertake
ing. Unless outside assistance is forth
coming. it is said. there Is little hope of
combating the epidemic.

Vision of Madonna
Only Tree Shadows

METZ, Saturday.-Excitemen among the
people of Noveant, small village near
here. over the supposed appearance oi Lne
Virgin near churchyard has been
Gained by an investigation conducted by
religious authorities. It was said the ap-
partition appeared at a certain time each
day. seeming to stand on the steps OF
little villa. and much credence was given
10 the stories of those who claimed to have
witnessed the phenomenon.
Father Bentz. who made careful in
quiry, posted himself one evening at q
point where others claimed to have seen
the Virgin and at once solved the mys-
terry. lie found two trees some distance
away which, just at sunset, cast a shadow
presenting a clear outline Of statue of
the Madonna, the resemblance being very
striking.
Bishop Ruch, OF Metz. commenting on
the case, said, when 1t was explained to
him.
1--WE must not expect too many miracles.
We havo just witnessed one of tho greatest
miracles Of all times--the return OF Lor-
raino TO Francc-and we can afford to wait
little while for another"

of an intention to leave his refuse on the
Island Of Wieringen.
There is some conjecture finding ex-
preston here as to whether in case of fur
ther demands by the Allies the Hohen-
zollerns would be willing to save Holland
further trouble by surrendering volun-
tarily.
The newspapers generally express them
selves this afternoon as heartily approving
both the refusal of the government to sur
render tho former Emperor and the tone
of the Dutch note. The Nieume Courant

PARIS. saturday.-The proud Bourbon

a priceless pearl necklace which had de-

WASHINGTON, d c., Saturday Jail
bars for profiteers was urged by Senator
Capper, Republican, Kansas, in an ad-
dress today in the Senate. Profiteers, he
said, are more dangerous than REDS"
Advocating legislation by Congress to
curb profiteerng, Senator Capper said the
people could help themselves too If they
would organize to boycott the profit hogs
by refusing to buy goods offered at ex-
tortionate prices
The Kansas Senator declared there
could be no doubt that "the general pub
lie is being sand bagged" in view of profits
reported by large manufacturing corpo-
rations and the rise in the value of their
securities. lie cited figures regarding
the American Woolen Company. the Gen.
trail Steel Company, the United States
Steel Corporation and others.
Referrin gto increased \prices Of cloth
ing, Senator Capper read telegram from
the National Wool Growers Association
stating that the wool in a suit of clothes
selling for 500 costs only $7.37.
"A fifty per cent increase in the price
of shoes by next summer is predicted
by the president of the National Shoe
Travellers Association" continued Mr.
Capper. THE day this prediction ap-
peared another extra dividend was de-
7.
The common stock of this company was
rated at 50 a year ago. 1t is now quoted
around los. While the people contemplate
going barefoot the leather trust walks on
velvet made thicker. A year ago it was
the war demand for leather that made
shoes high. Now it seems to be the peace
demand for velvet
Just now the greatest get rich quick
game in America is gouging in sugar. The
increase in the price of sugar will add a
billion dollars to the burdens now being
borne by the American people. The stock
of the Cuba-American Company has ad-
vanced more than 200 per cent in the last
twelve months, probably because Of the
sugar shortage.
I'VE have 1000, 900 homeless people in the
United States as result of the melon
cutting in lumber. There has been and
is shameless profteering in that industry.
THE market price of the farmers live
stock has declined nearly so per cent,
many farmers to the verge of
consumer pays for meat are virtually un-
changed. The income tax returns prove
the mine operators get excessive profits.
IAN the quotations / have referred to
conspire to prove that it is profiteering in
the great industrial corporations that has
sandbagged the public, rather than by
merchants who deal directly with the con-
sumer. No doubt there is price gouging
by some of the retailers, but 1t is the price
of goods when they leave the factory 20

May Birkhead Tells of Vain Search
for Novelties by New
York Buyer.
by MAY BIRKHEAD.
(SDecidl Gable to the Herald.

PARIS, Saturday.-The Paris fashion
market. insofar as sport costumes arc
concerned. is not up to the high standard
which makes Paris the worlds fashion
centre. American buyers of sport cos
tunes are searching in vain here for
novelties Indeed, they have found that
sport costumes constitute a factor in
women's wearing apparel in which New
York city eXcels.
This is easily explained. because French
women do not go in for sport as do Amer
lean women. However. Paris dress
makers probably will develop aviation
costumes thns year with more interest
than will the American fashion makers.
The reason for this is that aviation is
fad here at this moment. There is
great demand for that type of sport cos
tunes because it is the fashionable thing
just now to go from Paris to London by
airplane. Dressmakers heer have little
call for any other kind of sport costumes
than those for flying. except, of course.
the ordinary golf suit, and even then
French women are far from being mad
over golf.
Mrs. Anna Stabcr of the Abercrombie
G. Fifth Company, New York city. is one
Of the American buyers who is calling on
French dressmakers in search of novel
ties in sport clothes.
II have found Paris so far behind in
this line that L am gong TO the Riviera
to see IL it is possible to pick up some new
things there" Mrs. Staber said. Then
am going to Switzerland, for am sure
to find some novelties at Saint MoritZ
II did not realize how far America had
gone in developing sport costumes until
came to Paris this time-the first trip
have made here in several years Always
we have turned to London more than TO
Paris for ideas concerning sport clothes.
but now find that we have forged far
ahead of both London and Paris in this.
at certainly is true that the American
woman thinks first of her sport cos
tunes, while French women seem to con-
slider evening and dancing frocks more
important"
Mrs. Staber spoke of the rapid develop
ment of the sport costume trade in New
York city.
1--WE have in New York city many firms
which deal only in sport clothes" she
said. "They have come into existence in
the last five years and haev taken a place
among the Fifth avenue shops. Special
ties are most in demand in this line.
'In Paris I have found few houses
which make sport costumes. and prac-
tichlly not single house making speciality
of sport clothes. Perhaps however. j will
have better luck after the Paris dress
makers hold their spring openings next
month"
