Disease is well under control in Constantinople, with the allied health forces in charge. Dr. Hunt ington related how typhus, which broke out among some 100000 Rus- sians, was checked after it had tx- tended to only 300 persons.
 The outlook for Aremena as an in- dependent nation is absolutely hope less, according to Dr. Huntington. They cannot possibly maintain free dom with the Kurds and Turks ever ready to spring at their throats in overpowering numbers, he declared.
 Economic conditions in the near east are bad, particularly in Constan- tinople. Prices are high and food is scarce. Most of it is in bad shape but the people make the most of the circumstances, he asserted.
