London. May 27-(By The Associat-
ed Presst.-A sanitary spring often

100000 people against five communi-
cable diseases has been undertaken by
the medical department of the Ameri-
can relief administration in Russia,
says a cable reaching the London Of
flee.
Typhoid. para-typhoid, smallpox and
cholera, which latter has now begun to
appear in several regions, are the cpl
denies which the A. Il. A. hopes to
eradicate in this way.
The vaccines are now arriving in
Russia and are being distributed to the
districts and the assistance Of the cen
trail government and the local health
authorities has been enlisted in order
to secure the cooperation of the peo-
pie themselves.
Revive Native Resources
The A. X. a. is also trying to revive
such native resources as that of the
laboratory ut Roux which was known
as the second pasteur institute"
This has been practically closed owing
to lack of materials and food for the
staff. Now, however, the A.. X. A.
officer in Samara has induced the gov
ernment to guarantee water, fuel and
forage for animals needed for expert
mental purposes. The A. II. A. is Civ
ing laboratory supplies and food pack
ages for the personnel.
An educational campaign instituted
by the government showing the dangers
.pictorially of the louise, the mosquito
and the fly and the necessity for re-
moving all rubbish and filth. has pre-
pared the way. As many of the peO-
pie to be ~inOculated are receiving
American r%ations, this prophylactic of

Already the A. u. A. physician in
Samara, DIR. Foucar, has enlisted the

fed by the A. II. A. in removing trash
and keeping public places clean. All
children coming to the kitchens are re-

wash but now they like it and come
two and three times a week. While
they are bathing. their clothes are
sterilized.
Repairing sewage systems. improving
housing conditions, installing chlorin-
ators to purify the water supply in the
towns are other means by which the
X. A. hopes to make Russia safe
from the sanitary standpoint. Funds
tor this campaign were provided by
the American Red Cross which con-
trlbuted 100000 in cash and $780,
in stocks. An additional $4,000
200 worth of supplies from surplus
stocks contributed by the United
States government is yet to come.

Riga. Latvia, May 27.-(By The AS
ISOLATED Press. Hope and anticipa-
ton was shown in the faces of every
one of the 81 men and II women, real
pioneers they called themselves. who
arrived in Riga from America on their
sions granted them by the soviet gov
eminent.
Each member of the party, headed
by DIR. William Mailer. of Newark.

was prepared for all kinds of hard
ships and was willing TO take things
as they came. All agreed that they
did not expect too much in Russia. at
the start-but they were going to give
the cooperative plan a thorough test,
and believed it would work out.
Miners From Montana
In the party was William A. Van
hoffen. a consulting engineer of Chi
cage. a Russian. who has lived in the
United States IS years. There were
nine other engineers. the remainder of
the men being miners from Arizona,

Four Of the young men brought
growing strawberry plants from Seattle
having nursed them like babies all the
way with the hopes of soon replanting
them on the land which the soviets
have assigned them.
DIR. Mailer and Nanhoffen said this
party was merely the vanguard of 5000
to 1000 others IN America who are
coming to Russia as oOn as arrange
ments can be completed. OF this on
tingent, each person put up $500 or
more to cover the expenses of the
trip II had money to spend enronte.
In Riga the travellers all stayed at
the best hotels and purchased a great
deal of stuff here, including boots,
some clothing and great quantities of
seed grain which the workers hope
soon to plant in Siberia.
Sign to Stay Two Years
Each member signed up to remain in
Russia two years and if he is dissat-
isfied at the end of hat time, he may
return TO America with all expenses
paid and in addition receive a certain
allowance for his labor.
In n statement given out here by
Nanhoffen il was set forth that the
plan is to strike directly at the heart
of Russia's industrial problem. the
lack of skilled workers and machinery,
by importing them direct from the
United States. They are to operate
coal mines in the Kutnets Basin and
the Nadejdenski steel plant in the Ural
mountains region.
Take Food Along
The contingent was made up of
Russians Firms Cynchos1oynkS Ger
mans. Scandinavians , Hungarian. Jews
and Irish, all of whom have lived in
the United States several years and
native born Americans from
various parts of the country. There
was one three months old baby brought
by its father and mother.
The party had clothing for several
years and four car loads of American
food which, with the garden truck
when it was planned to plant at once,
will last more than q year.

Paris, May 27.-The old family doc
tors who have been laborlng with the
patient these many years at last have
given way TO the specialists. The con
ferences at the Astoria Hotel between
J.. p. Morgan and six European and
Asiatic colleagues remind one strange
" of a consultation of eminent medical
men. Instead of noisy speeches like a
patent medicine peddler OF a cart tail
we see solemn giants who seldom
speak but look as if they knew every
thing filing through the door which
closes silently behind them. After anx-
ious waiting the doors swing open and
the same men file out in twOs and
threes. Still they say nothing. Profess

letin is issued. One half expects to

these specialists propose. 1t is taken
for granted they can cure Europe's ills
or that, if they can't. the disease is in

Berlin. May 27.-In a social sense.
President Friedrich Ebert is probably
the most retiring chief of any Euro
pean democracy.
Society. as it is understood in other
capitals, is nOnexistent in Berlin. The
great majority of the old Prussian ar
istocracy have withdrawn to the Sc

have no desire to mix with the newly
rich and the new order of things is
frankly repugnant to them.
Visitors are few at IL Wilhelm

cape at the old palace of the crstwhilc

the German republic has made his
home.

ny w. y. HENDERSON.

The program of the fifth concert
OF the Beethoven Association at Aeolian
Hall last evening consisted Of the
Brahms horn trio. songs sung by Nine.
Susan Metcaife Casals with Mr. Casals
as accompanist, and the Schumann plano
quartet. The violinist was Alexander
Schmuller. Hugo Kortschak played viola
and William Bachaus was the pianist
Mr.. Casals. besides being at the piano
when Nine. Casals sang, played the cello
part in the quartet The horn player
was Xavier Reiter. long the solo hornist
OF the Philharmonic Society.
The horn trio, in which the other
two instruments are violin and piano.
Is infrequently heard. This is to be
expected. In chamber music. as In
the orchestra, the horn. without being
intrusive. is decidedly obtrusive. There
is no way of suppressing the aggressive
einergence of It's characteristics except
by relegating 1t to the Useful but sub
ordinate Office of sustaining har1nonies.
AS solo voice 1t mercilessly dominates
any instrumental body. and hence a
horn trio cannot be played often. To
use the horn to advantage a composer
must be on terms of intimacy with 1t.
Rossini was always happy when writ
ing for the horn quartet, as witness
his successful passage in the "Semira-
mide" overture. Weber was his SUI
perior in that he was equally at home
wthone horn, as In "Oberon," or four,
as In Der Fredschuetz." Beethoven did
wonders with three In the "Eroica."
Wagner sported with the horn as boy
with a new toy and at least once in
his "Phaeton," Saint-Saens created a
model passage for the horn qua-tet
But no one else surpassed Brahms,
whose magnificent proclamation by
horns In the last movement of the c
minor symphony is unrivaled, and who
showed In the trio how perfectly he
could adapt the peculiarities of the horn
to chamber music. The instrument
dominates the thematic style of the
composition, which is nevertheless not
mere horn solo. but real trio In
which each of the other instruments
speaks eloquently alone and in which
all three unite in beautiful utterances.
The work was admirably played last
evening by the three artists. They
stepped themselves in the spirit of the
music and successfully communicated
1t to an audience, which received the
message with every evidence of pleas
ure. Nine. Casals delivered four songs
of Beethoven. Adelaide" "Wonne der
W ehmung," Itch liebe dich" and "Neue
Liebe, Neues Leben." She sang all four
with much sincerity and with plenty
of voice. but was not always happy In
her treatment of the music or the text.
She made the best impression with the
second song. Mr.. Casals showed that
he was a distinguished accompanist
among cellists.
Harold Bauer, president of the Bee
thoven Association, also appeared on
the stage at this concert. but confined
his performance to turning pages for

The Wage of Our Policemen.

The owner of THE New YoRx
HERALD secured for our policemen In
1918 the first advance, but for a pal
try hundred dollars in 1916, they had
had in their wage in twenty-four
years. And the advance in the wage
of these policemen made way for q
similar advance in the wage Of the
firemen.
Since this advance was granted to
both the policemen and the firemen
their wage has been further ad-
vanced so that now the first grade po-
licemen get $2,2S0 year. The fire.
men of the first grade get the same
wage.
The policemen and the firemen
are now asking that their wage
those OF the first grade-be ad-
vanced to $4,000. The owner of THE
New YORK HERALD is in complete
sympathy with this request. This Is
not too much, but, considered in view
of the fact that policemen are retired
on half pay after twenty-five years OF
service and firemen are retired on
half pay after twenty years of ser
vice, it is fair and reasonable pay.
Up to 1915 first grade policemen
were getting only $1,4o0 year. In
1916, in the midst of the war, first
grade policemen got the munificent
advance OF s1OO year, carrying their
wage up to $1,000.
And this was the wage of the first
grade policemen when the owner Of
THE New YORK HERALD, in 1918, took
up their case with the citizens of New
York and got them an increases and
put them on the road to additional
increases.
