BUBONIC PLAGUE
SPREAD MENACES
MORE OF CHINA

NEW YORK, April l5-Bubonic
plague, which some month ago APP
peared in Northern Manchuria, has
crept southwark until it now threat
ems the main grain supply of China,
according 10 letter received by G..
d. Gold. of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association. from Harbin, Man
churia. where Mr. Gold was sation-
ed during the latter part Of the war.
Unless the plague can be checked,
Mr.. Gold asserts, the granary relied
upon for the relief Of millions of
famine victims in North China will
be cut off.
1.-The situation is rendered more
serious" said Mr.. Gold today, ''by
the fact that Manchuria is literally
crowded with foreign exiles. There
are not fewer than 100000 Russians
who fled before the Bolshevik exc
cutioners. 10000 Koreans, and
thousands of Chinese who formerly
lived in Siberia, but who have been
driven into Manchuria by the Red
armies
Concerted efforts are being made
in cities and towns along the Chi
nese Eastern Railway TO combat the
plague, hospitals being established,
and the victims isolated. Efforts al
so are under way TO fight the source
Of the disease-the rats that carry
the germ. Thousands of persons al
ready have died, and been given
hasty burial. Strict regulations have
been put in effect TO prevent af'
fected persons getting beyond Har-
bin. and officials at Mukden, the
next big center to the South, are
on the watch for the first appear
ance Of the plague.
If the grain supply Of Manchurla
Il cut off, the famine victims IN
Shantung. Chihli. Honan, Shensi and
Shansi will be doomed. Manchuria

Red Gross. the Chinese Red Cross

BODIES or MANY
AMERICAN SOLDIERS
BACK FROM FRANCE

PARIS. April 15-Twenty thous-
and bodies of American soldiers
who fell in France have either been
shipped to the United States or are
now in process Of being returned
for burial in their native country.
With 102 officers of the Ameri-
can armv and a personnel of more
than 1000 men working night and
day in many sections Of France, the
Graves Registration Service Of the
American army has reached a point
where il is possible TO forward
1000 bodies a month. The work of
sending back the 2.311 bodies de-
signated for interment in America
will be completed BY the end Of next
October, if present plans are full
filled.
The bodies of the Americans have
been taken from every cemetery in
the south of France. The greater
part of the effort is now being con-
centrated in the zone Of the armies
the Argonne etc. Seventy-seven bo-
dies Of American soldiers who died
in Italy will be removed to the
United States next month.
The Graves Registration Service
now is working in Berlin on ar
rangements for shipping the bod
les of 30 American soldiers who
are buried in various parts Of un-
occupied Germany. This latter work
was rendered very difficult because
the location Of many Of the graves
was unknown. An expert has been
going over the German burial re-
virtually all the graves have beer
found. The German government has
offered every facility to the Graves
Registration Service.
More than 10000 bodies will be
buried in the four permanent ceme-
teries which the American govern
ment will maintain in France
The Fine Arts Commission of the
American War Memorial Council
has arrived in Paris for a series Of
meetings and tour of inspection
of the permanent cemeteries. The
Commission has in contemplation
plans for the Identification of the
cemeteries and will determine the
character Of headstones TO be used
and tho general decorative scheme to
be followed The Commission will
probably consult with leading French
landscape artists.

SCHOOL BOND
ELECTION SET
FOR TOMORROW
Voters Are Asked To Pass
Upon Bond Issue And
Maintenance Tax

The special school bond election
Is set for tomorrow and polling
place is being prepared today at the
grammar school where the voters
may go TO cast their ballots
Two important propositions are to
be voted upon. One is on the pro-
posed $l75,00 bond issue and one is
on proposal to authorize the school
board TO levy assessments of 40 cents
on the 500 valuation for the main
tenance of the schools.
Theh bond issue is to provide
funds for building new junior high
school, remodeling and undermining
the grammar school, adding four
rooms and remodeling the fourth
ward school and building new ward
school in the center of the section
of the .El Jardin tract lying within
the Brownsville independent school
district.
An architect for this work has al
ready been procured and is hard at
work drawing the plans. which will
be presented at open hearings for
public discussion and approval. The
school board has learned that the
bonds can be sold at once at a good
figure, so that there need be no
delay in the construction.
II is believed that practically all
the new building will be completed
by the beginning of the next school
term and that il certainly will be
finished before winter.
The maintenance tax vote is to be
taken under the enabling act passed
at the last session of the legislature,
authorizing indepenG, Mt districts TO
levy tax Of 81 on the 500 valua-
tion for maintenance" purposes. In
Brownsville, however the board has
decided TO ask for permission to raise
only 20 cents and il is the belief Of
the members that even this figure Il
higher than il will be found actually
necessary TO levy. The 10 cent figure
was decided upon, howeN er, as allow
ing a necessary margin of safety.
Heretofore the district has levied
the former legal limit Of so cents,
of which 10 cents went for interest
and sinking fund and 40 cents for
maintenance. OF the new levy, 30
cents can be set aside for interest
and sinking fund to take care OF
both the old and the new bond is
sues and 40 cents or whatever part
of il may be needed, for mainten-
ance. bringing the total up to not
more than 40 cents
