HOSPITALS IN AWFUL SHAPE.
Practically No Facilities to Care 70,
Hungary's Sick.


Hunsary's Sick.
BY Associated Press.
Geneva, June 24.-The condition of
the hospitals in Hungary is described
as "a, lamcntable picture which
should command universal attention
and great pity" in a report to the
international committee OF the Red
Cross here.
After recent trip across Hungary,
Captain BURNER, of Geneva, delegate
Of the International committee told of
conditions as he found them In the
various towns.
"At Szolnok," Captain BURNER said
the epidemic hospital has been COM
pletely ravaged by the Rumanians.
There is not even glass In the win
dows. The Comitat hospital Is abso-
lutely without medicine, the sick are
not even anesthetized for operations
"At DebrecZen the childrens' deaf
and dumb asylum totally lacks linen
and shoes. The children of the mu-
aicipal asylum are dressed in paper
clothes. There are eighty beds for
120 children and many 13 months old
babies weigh only four Kilograms
(about nine pounds). The town hos
pital which has 400 beds has no linen,
no blankets. no medicines. There
were left only two half spools Of sur
gical thread with which to sew
wounds. The maternity hospital and
genealogical Clinic have nothing at
all.
AT Nyiregyhaza the Comitat hos
pital has no linen for the sick, no
medicine, no comforts to wrap babies
in. The bandages and dressings must
be used over and over again." Similar
conditions were reported in several
other places.
''The penury increases daily and no
effort until now has been sufficient
to reestablish O normal situation"
Captain BURNER added.
Such is the lamentable picture
which. presents itself at this hour and
which should command universal at
tention on the great pity Of the hos
pitfalls Of Hungary"

such jolly place to live in, winston
Churchill minister Of war, declared
in an article published in the Even
Ing News, answering a report by a
British labor delegation which visited
Russia and a letter directed to the
British people by Lenine.
Should the soviet system be es-

lister believes that not only would
freedom of the press and freedom of

English labor leaders themselves
would share the fate of Kerensky,

The war minister charged Lenine
with having ruined his own country
and said it was natural he should
wish ito have all other nations re-
duced to the same level of misery.

be covered in the general chaos
wrote Mr.. Churchill.
Russia was on the threshold OF
victory" After all her struggles
she was within reach Of the goal. The
Germans sent in Lenine, as poison
gas is sent sealed in cylinder and
he robbed her of the victory she had
all but won and which she might
have shared with US.
"A million Germans, released by
his act. Of treachery, were let loose
on the French and British fronts
and nearly that number of British
and French soldiers are dead or
mutilated in consequence. Instead OF
victory he gave Russia shame and
Unreasonable disaster.
'Lenine destroyed the Russian Ne
public. He dissolved the Russian
parliament. He had the bulk Of it's
members hunted down and killed.
He has robbed his country Of vic

has he given them In exchange?
Russia, the great food producing

famine; the towns depopulated to
half their numbers; the workmen
scattered. destroyed and the rest
cowed or demoralized; hundreds OF

Niagara in barrel, reached the
Canadian side Of the river some few
days ago and began to study the falls
and river locality with a view Of de-

opinion that the barrel he had
brought with him would carry him

over the big dip Of the Horseshoe.

Sunday morning he and his party
gathered on the Canadian side Of the
upper river on the mainland about
midway up the shore opposite navy
island.
He crept into the barrel, which was
equipped with apparatus SO as to give
him an air supply OF about eight
hours. The harness was put over his
mead and he took the mouthpieces in
his mouth before his friends bade him
farewell.
A motor launch towed him and his

only two had gone and lived to tell

scene OF the tragedy was transferred
from the upper to the lower river.
Anxious friends on shore, on both
banks, watched for the barrel to
emerge from the foot of the falls, as
had the Taylor and Leach barrels
years ago. They looked and watched
in vain.
The tumultuous currents of the
boiling waters at the base Of the
waterfall delivered the barrel in
pieces to the bosom of the lower

downstream picked up some of these
