GAVE "SHoW" UNDER GUARD
Peculiar Experience of American Mu.
sical Comedy Company in the
City of VIadiVostok.

A belated story of how an Ameri-
can musical comedy company which
had volunteered to give an entertain
ment for the troops at Vladivostok
was caught in that city while the
"redS" held sway. has been received by
the Knights of Columbus from Garry
McGarry, who is in charge of the well
fare activities of the order in Siberia.
The troupe was in charge of w. r.
Bandvard and had come from China
to the Russian seaport, where they
were held up for several weeks await
ing a steamer.
During their stay, every one went
around with revolver, and the city
took on the appearance of a western
"bOOm" town in pioneer days. During
the period the bOlshevists killed about
% persons, and many of the actors
had narrow escapes. Several of the
women actresses had to be taken to
and from the theater guarded by a
squad of allied soldiers, and at the
hotel where they stayed a guard was
constantly posted. However, the
American troupe carried on" for the
dOughboys amid all the panoply of war
and revolution. There were armed SOL
dierS inside the theater. outside, be-
hind the scenes, and in the box office.
All the audience brought their rifles
with them or carried side arms and
hand grenades.-ChicagO Post.

WARNING AGAINST MEASLES
Increase in Cases Demands Strong
Measures, says the Health News
of the State Board of Health

of the State Board OF deaIlh
"Measles is on the increase in Del
aware! Unless this warning is heed
ed" says the Delaware Health News,
published by the State Board of
Health, "many additional lives will
be lost as a result of the disease.
During 1918," continues the state
ment, "when measles was prevalent,
there were 18 deaths from this cause,
compared with only one death from
scarlet fever during the same period.
During the last year for which figures
are available for the entire country,
there were about $4,000 deaths from
measles; more than from typhoid
fever, more than from whooping
cough, three times as many as from
scarlet fever and nearly as many as
from diphtheria. Surely measles
SHOULD be guarded against when so
much concern is felt lest these other
diseases spread.
"Any parent who deliberately eX-
poses his child to measles, continues
the Health News, "is as liable to cen
sure as though he deliberately exposed
the child to scarlet fever, typhoid fe-
yer or diphtheria, and if death results
from such exposure the parent should
be held criminally responsible for the
death.
'In addition to the the deaths that
occur as the immediate result of mea-
sles, of the complicating bronhco-
pneumonia there are many indirect
results from cases of measles. Prob
ably the most serious of these is the
lowered resistance to tuberculosis that
often follows an attack of measles,
for it is not at all uncommon for a
child who has had measles TO develop
tuberculosis. Mental deficiency is also
due in some cases to meningitis from
lliddle-ear disease following results:
Measles is one of the most really
communicable of all diseases. This
fact, toetgher with the fact that the
disease is highly contagious before
the appearance of the rash and before
diagnosis can be made, makes the
control of the disease very difficult.
almost every practical method of
control has been tried and yet the le-
ert1f Sc 10
ease become prevalent in a commun-
ity it cannot be stamped out until it
has run its course. But if the first
few cases in a community are report
ed and isolated, and all exposed chill
dren are kept on their own premises
until it is known definitely whether
or not they will develop measles, the
epidemic can be prevented"

Land Question In Chile.

The land question, particularly as 1t
relates to the Indians, has of late been
receiving attention from those inter-
ested in the future of Chile. The
tendency has been to take every ad-
vantage of these natives, who, despite
the many handicaps that official and
unofficial greed have placed in their
way, are admitted to be making sub.
stantial progress. They have. as might
have been expected, shown themselves
particularly proficient in agriculture
and cattle breeding. Crying evils in
the administration of the lands have
been pointed out in the public press,
but as yet the authorities do not seem
to be sufficiently interested in remedy
ing a state of affairs that does much
to ALLEVIATE the sympathies OF an i'm

SOLDIERS LIKED THE PRINCE
Heir to British Throne Fond of Min
Cling With the Fighters, When
He Was Permitted.

In the front lines a Canadian soldier
was building a fire one cold night of
late autumn. Out of the night behind
him came a foOtstep. He turned, and
became dOubly alert when he saw that
the man was not an officer of his regi-
ment. The visitor approached rhe
blaze, held his hands out over it and
said:
This fire certainly looks good to
me-"
The tone was pleasant enough, aud
suspicion was almost unarmed when
the voice went on:
"Have you wood enough? If you
haven't I'll get you some more"
The fire builder felt some regret that
any suspicion whatever remained. bat
there had been special warning
against strangers not of ones own
regiment. In response to 1t he was
about to question the newcomer close
ly, when ali officer whom he did know
came within the firelit circle and ad-
dressed the stranger:
AOuF IOJdi hlShhSSS' IL 10 OOSl 'h"e
you return to the automobile at once"
And the prince of Wales reluctantly
left the fire and returned to the place
where he officially belonged. 1t was
not the first time he had left that place
Of his own accord and gone forward
among the men. The Canadian who
tells the story learned afterward that
the princes staff had its hands full to
keep him from breaking away from
the official circle prescribed for him
and mingling with the men on their
own ground.
