of prominence, unfortunately, were
not on the best of terms with each
other. They thought so little of each
other that they had been travelling
over the state saying unkind, cruel
and cutting things about each 9th

One of them said the other was

Ludwig Martens. the "Red" ambas-

And the other gentleman hadn't

He accused the other of being a

candidate, a man without a platform.

DOOLY DOCTOR A
HERO IN EUROPE
Capt. Lupo, of Vienna,
Helps End Smallpox
SCourge

PARIS, Sept. Two American
Red Cross doctors were instrumental
in saving Letvia from an epidemic Of
smallpox which recently broke out
in the twin cities of Jacobstadt and
Kreuzberg on the Duna river. They
are Captain Carl Lupo of Vienna,
Georgia and Captain H. Van Renen
STAN of New York City. A report
just received here tells the story of
their achievement which has excited
the admiration and gratitude of all
Lettonia and called forth warm COM
mendation from the government of
the little Baltic state.
Both officers were on duty in Riga
when hurry call from the Lettish
Ministry of Health reached Red Cross
headquarters announcing an outbreak
of smallpox in the Letvian towns
and stating that the lives of 1900
persons were endangered. Immediate
medical aid was requested.
Two hours later the American doc
tors were speeding by automobile to-
ward the scene of trouble with full
outfit of medical equipment and
enough vaccine to immunize 49,
900 persons.
On arrival, the two doctors found
that the report had been greatly ex-
aggerate. In the few cases reported
however, the mortality was very
high-42 per cent. To prevent fur
Their spreading among the popula-
ton 1900 persons were vaccinated
and a quarantine established.
The Americans established con-
troll at the ferry connecting the two
towns. Everyone coming across the
Duna river was and is required to
show certificate of complete vac
cination. Following out the further
recommendation of the American
Red Cross commission the town au-
thorities are requiring all travellers
bv boat, road or railroad to show a
certificate of vaccination. The COM
mission left vaccine with the local
board of health with the recommend
alton that families in the outlying
districts be vaccinated Immediately
The one doctor in the twin cities
had practically no equipment. The
one drug store had no stock except
half an ounce of tincture of iodine
and some paper bandages.
Following this investigation, the
commission allotted general hospita
and medical supplies to the loca-
hospital.
