TYPHUS IN NEAR
EAST DISCUSSED
At LEAGUE MEET
A Large Part of the ESQ.,
900 Pounds Needed to
Start a Drive to Stamp
Out the Epidemic Pledged.

Geneva, Dee. Z (by the Associ-
ated Press. War against typhus
in the near east occupied the at
tention OF the league assembly this
morning to the exclusion of virtu-
ally all else. The debate was
widespread in its scope, the rep
resentatives OF all climes and races
taking part.
Sir George T.. Foster, of the
Canadian delegation, led the van
with a ringing appeal to the world
to stamp out the dread disease,
which is gradually spreading over
Europe. Others who spoke repre-
scented India, China, Persia, Nor-
way, Greece, Spain, France, Great
Britain, Holland and Rumania.
A large part of the 100000
pounds requested to set the cam
paign in motion was pledged and
the committee which will be APP
pointed to get the balance probably
will succeed without much diff
Guilty. This is regarded as
triumph for the assembly over the
council which had twice appealed
for these funds without success.
