VIENNA DEATH RATE
BECOMES APPALLING
Condition Of Children Even More
Narrowing, Declares Authority
on City's Desperate Plight.

Five years Of famine have resulted
In greatly increased mortality and
morbidity In Vienna which before the
war was counted as one Of the health
lest cities In Europe. Figures prepared
by DR.. Gustave Bohn, head Of the
Vienna Health Department, show that
In 1913 the death rate was 1873 per
thousand. In 1918 the rate was 22.5
per thousand. an increase of more than
AZ per cent.
Professor Hans Spels of the Uni
versity of Vienna, says that "even
more terrible than the mortality sta
tistics are those referring to the con-
dition Of children and their mothers.
Owing to under-nOurishment few moth
ers can nurse their babies, and the milk
shortage affects not only infants, but
all children In spite Of al. that has
been done to help. At Professor
Clemens Pirquet's clinic In the uni
verslty some $3.50 children were ex-
amined in 1918. Only 1887 Of these
or about e-thirteenth were bassed as
skin good. fat good 23,6O9 were pale
and thin, or very pale and very thin.
1.-THE health of these children shows
most disquieting features. Skin disease,
rachitis and Barlow's disease are rife.
"The chief medical officer of Vienna
asks, What Is going to happen to these
under-fed children, in whose bodies the
germ of tuberculosis Ia latent, when
they reach the twenties, at which time
1t becomes active3'"
To combat these conditions the Amer
lean Relief Administration of which
Herbert Hoover is chairman fed last
winter In the city of Vienna some
100000 Of the destitute and under
nourished children, supplying them
with a substantial meal Of american
food, served In a number of large
kitchens opened for that purpose.
The conditions In Vienna are more
or less typical of those In Poland and
other countries of Central and Eastern
Europe. Last year the Relief Admin
istration was able to reach some $780,
600 under-nourished children and this
winter the program calls for the feed
ing of = like number, but eight Of the
great charitable organizations of
America have united under the name
of the European Relief Council, Of
which Mr.. Hoover is the chairman.
The child feeding task will be carried
on not only by the American Relief Ad-
ministration but by the American Red
Cross, the American Friends Service
Committee tQuakers), the Jewish Joint
Distribution Committee, the Federal
Council of the Churches Of Christ in
America, the Knights Of Columbus, the

peal for $a3, 1000 has beer made and

OF CHILD
SCARCE IN L A

Elm all the time ] was In Poland, !
scarcely once saw a child laugh"
declared DR. Harry Plotz, ~discoverer Of
the typhus bacillus, In a report to
the European Relief Council on med
zeal conditions among the Jewish popu-
lation Of Poland, based on his recent
Investigations there for the Jewish
Joint Distribution Committee.
The most deplorable sight Of all
the miseries in Poland is the condi-
ton Of the children" DR.. Plotz said.
Infant mortality Is exceedingly high
because Of under-nourishment and the
high percentage Of contagious diseases.
In large part mothers must resort to
artificial feeding as they are unable to
nurse their children. In many cities
I saw underfed children, suffering with
diseases, wandering about the streets
with no place to go, begging for bread"
tuberculosis has become prevalent
among the Jewish children. largely
due to the overcrowded conditions In
which they are forced to live, their
lack of nourishing food and warm
clothing, according to DR.. Plotx.
Typhus, which killed thousands of
Jews last winter In the worst epidemic
Poland has ever seen Will recur again.
he said. as conditions are much worse
among the Jews than ever before.
"Favus, a contagious skin disease,
Is now rapidly spreading from child
to child" he continued. in wilma
there are 1900 cases among the Jew
ish children alone. Smallpox, too, is
prevalent throughout Poland and the
Ukraine and children, with wide
spread eruptions and temperature.
have been seen running about the
streets. There are thousands Of cases
every year, which vaccination would
prevent. but there is no vaccine"
DIR. Plotz told how in Lithuanian
villages he found children. six and
seven years old. unable to walk or
talk. the result Of malnqtrition. In
regions where whole towns had been
destroyed during the war. he found
families crowded In miserable dug
outs.

GALL ATTENTION TO SCOUT
HERO.

The story has more than once been
told Of that gallant Oakland (Cal.)
boy scout, Allen Daffett, who gave his
life to save his younger brothers last
spring and died saying: II could do
nothing else. l am a boy scout" An
interesting sequel to this splendid lit
tie story Of herOism Is the fact that
the Oakland lodge Of Elks, who are
tremendously interested in scouting,
wrote to their "brother," Warren G..
Harding calling his attention to the
lads noble sacrifice and true scout
spirit. The Pre- .ldent at once replied
thanking the writers for calling his
attention 10 the incident and asking
rEem To convey both his sympathy
and congratulations to the bereaved
parents.
Just scout But his loyal readi-
ness to live up to his scout law and
oath to save life even at the cost of
his own has won him place among
the heroes OF the world.

Last year Mrs. A. Murray Dixie ana

war strain, they were In highly merry.

To such a degree as to make efficient
development Of young man power al.
IaOst impossible.
Various efforts were made to coun.
teract this by regular physical exer-
cises, calisthenlcs, gymnastics and
games, with little result.
The mind Of the boy was not dis.
tructed from his surroundings, which
were all reminiscent of war, for n long
enough period to obtain any lasting
benefit.
In desperation, Miss Morgan up
pealed TO the Boy Scouts of America.
As result, Mr. Barclay went over
last summer to conduct an expert
mental camp. This was so successful
that plans were Immediately made to
open several camps In the summer of
1871, II finances could be secured.
Boy scouts throughout the country
were asked to contribute S25, the cost
of two weeks camp trip for one

camp and home again. Far more i'm.
