FEAR EPIDEMIC
MAY DEYASTATE
EAST EUROPE;
Danger From Russian Fam
inc, Say League Of Ma
TONS Experts

Washington, March, 27.-The dang
er to Eastern Europe from cpldemIcs
attendent upon the prevalence of fam
inc in Russia "is rapidly becoming
serious" according to report compll-
ed by the League of Nations health
committee. Basing its conclusion upon
information gathered from many re,
liable sources, the committee declared
the entire frontier zone between Soviet
Russia and the Ukraine. on one hand,
and Central Europe on the other, Is
less prepared to withstand the proE-
able shocks of epidemics than 1t has
been for several years.
The situation is gradually becoming
more grave, the committee found: ana
predicted its elimination when the
famine reaches its crisis, probably II
April.
The threat Of disease to Eastern
Europe was said to be due, first, To
the tremendous waves of migration
caused by the flight Of peasants from
the famine-stricke areas toward dis
tricts where food production IS pos
siblc, and second, to mass rcpatila
ton of hundreds of thousands OF Poles
and others who were dislodged from
their homes during the great retreat
of 1915. While exact figures were no;
available, it was estimated that .lusi
! inside the Russian frontier no les!
than 10000 caravans are concentrat-
ed, some of them having been on Tho
march for four or five months
Through one quarantine station, Bar
ancwicz, 301 ,2S7 refugees passed be-
tween March and December, 1921.
The greatly increased PREPARATION
was said to have resulted in a break
in the Polish sanitary Gordon, with The
result that typhus has spread farther
west than ever before, even reaching
Lithuania and East Prussia.
The famine, moreover, Is known II
have spread into the most fertile dis.
tricts Of the Ukraine, to which ten!
of thousands of refugees from tht
northern provinces had fled in tht
hope Of finding food and shelter.
The Polish Government, in an ef.
fort to meet these difficulties, has
named former Prime Minister as
special repatriation commissioner
while the city of Warsaw has appoint
ed an extraordinary epidemic com.
missioner. The epidemics commission
of the League of Nations is also co
operating to strengthen the sanitary
Gordon, and conference is now il
session, under-.call-of~the Polish Gov.
eminent and under the auspices of the
League, in the effort to coordinate the
preventive measures of all the states
contingent on Russia.

BOOK PRICES
TO INCREASE
Virginia School Text Books
to be Increased ga
Percent
There Will be no Change in the List
For Next Year.-Publishers
Contract Expires

Richmond, Va, March 27.-While
the State Board of Education has
signed a contract extending for one
year the present list of books used IN
the public schools Of the State, the
prices to be paid for these books for
the Forthcoming session will be ap-
proximately GA per cent higher than
the prices now prevailing. This is due
to the fact that the publishers sup
plying the books under contract to
Virginia have been doing so at the
prices that prevailed in 1915 when the
contract was made. Under the terms
of the contract the same could be ex-
tended for period of three years.
and the State availed itself of this
opportunity, due to which action the
school books have been sold in Vlr-
ginia at heavy loss to the publishers
during the past three years.
State Superintendent of Public. In
struction Harris Hart said that there
would be no change in the list OF
books, except that as many as pos
sible would be cut from the list so as
to bring down the cost to pupils,
Going into detail, Superintendent Hart
said:
"The bids for the one year extern
sion were very carefully analysed
and by comparison with bids in other
States, and also by reviewing an
estimate of prices of books of similar
grade, it was ascertained that the
bids presented to the State Board of
Education were as favorable as could
be obtained at this time, or as now
prevail in any other State.
"If pupil starts with the first
grade and goes through the seven
elementary grades, purchasing the
basal books necessary to carry him
through the course, the total cost for
the seven-year period under the old
price would be 1894, whereas, under
the new prices the total cost would be
S15.23. The new wholesale price ex-
ceeds the old retail price by about 36
per cent, whereas the new retail price
IS in excess of that formerly paid by
about 81 per cent.
