us. IS WARNED OF
 TYPHUS EPIDEMIC
German Red Cross Doctor Sounds
 World Alarm

Berlin, March 22 NRy Associated Press) The United States as well as Central Europe must be on guard against introduction of cholera and typhus through immigration of Rus sian refugees, says warning issued today by pr. A. SchlessinGcr of the German Red Cross.
 Hordes of thesc refugees are your ing into Germany over the Polish Letvian and E,sthonian borders, and many are seking passports tc America. where they have relatives and friends who are financing them for the journey.
 Already nearly 50,000 cases exist in Germany, traced to refugees and German immigrants from the Nolga region have been infected. Seventy five per cent. of the recent arrival: in the concentration camps were diseased, according to Red Cross sta tistics.
 Doctors Warning.
 Dr. Sch hlessinger said.
 Spotted typhus and cholera al ready have crossed the Russian boun- diary. the epidemic following the lines of transportation and have arrived in Poland. The Russian railroad sta tons 10 the Polish border are filled with the hungry, sick and freezing who are forging toward Germany in an attempt to escape the death which they certainly are bringing to Cen tral Europe, if not to the rest of the world.
 "rhe German and Polish govern ments recognize the danger but can not head it off. We can only lessen it. and the necessity of doing this to the calling of the typhus conference in Warsaw"
 Dr. Schlessinger believes the great est danger arises through refugees stealing oEcr the uncontrolled DOT tions of the border, the length of which makes it impossible to institute complete control. The number of ar rivals at the refugee camps is esti- mated at 20, ,n00 weekly.
 Rumania is understood to be turn ing the refugees back into Russia but Poland is attempting to hold and save such as arrive there, while Germany is seeking to exclude them and thus avert an outbreak of the plague hero which it is considered would be cer' tain eventually to reach the westerl world

N1zINA BRIDGE TO BE BUILT

The Nizna bridge is an assured fact For many years letters, petitions and all other persuasion that could be brought to bear on the powers that be, were used
 The mills of the gods finally ground grain instead of the usual chaff, so we finally have a bridge taking shape. Owing to methods of procrastination and conservation Alaska is years behind in the march of progress. Meth ods of sPinchot and other reactionaries have brought the country back to the place it held twenty years ago.
 Prospector after prospector has piece of ground that is impossible to work at profit, owing to the difficulties of transportation. The same class of ground in the States would have roads built that would accommodate motor traffic; while whole districts have only a pack trail in this country.
 A ship subsidy bill has been passed and should help us in the matter of high water rates. As more people come to the district, and as business grows better the rail tariff will become lower. These changes would not mean a lower wage schedule, and it would mean lower living cost.
 So with even a single district being opened up the prospects for more activities during the coming season are very bright Nc Carthy News.

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

'It's only three days, the shortest days in the year, till Christmas" In practical way it is well to remember that the chief festival of the Christmas world is only little way down the road Santa Claus outline Is almost visible over the chimneyed horizon, the sound of the tinkle of his sleigh-bells is nearly aud ible It is time for doing what there is to be done in preparation for the holiday. Shop ping early is a good piece of business, early in the morning of each shopping day. It'will be to the advantage of the buyer to the pleasure of the seller and for the relief of the over worked store forces
 All the systematic work done in advance of the rush to avoid the confusion that sometimes makes the Christmas eve a horror and the Christmas Day one in which there Is no rest and delight because one is all in and tired out-will not be it's best unless there is fla vor of the Christmas spirit through it all. In the rush and confusion, if there must be such, in tie crowds that surge through the stores, in the jam and push of the street throngs, take the Christmas lesson to heart for use in the advance days-and be pleasant. Be pa tient with the clerks and the delivery man {; be courteous to the folks you buy from; be pleasant to the jostlers who almost knock the parcels from your arms as they stumble, them selves packageladen, on the street; use the smile that helps everybody over every stress full time and some distressful times.
 Indeed, there are opportunities the next few days for more effective and beneficient use of ths Christmas spirit in it's fine unselfish ex- presson than there will be next week-after the davis climax is over. It will not be re- garded hy Santa Claus as in any way violatlve of his rules of "dont peep" to use "before" " Christmas the same cheer, the same unselfish- ness, the same courtesy the same thoughtful ness, the same spirit of "giving happiness" that you will use on Christmas day. Perhaps the good Saint will allow liberal discount for the real and genuine Christmas manner Ii if is put into circulation 'before" Christmas Day. when it is needed most.

CHRISTMAS SEALS

Think of the suffering, in the name of which the appeal to the public to buy Christ mas seals runs, and of the good that you will help in achieving by responding, and refuse to purchase them-if you can. The enemy against which the organizations activities are directed never sackens in its offensive. It is always pressing in through unguarded sec tors-and once inside the lines it works de struction until busted or vanquished.
 Science has pointed the way to rout tubercu- losis and to ward it off But routing and warding it off cost money. Many of the vic- tins have not the means to pay for the treat ment necessary to cure. And funds are needed to carry on the general campaign against the disease. To further such a cause by using Christmas seals is both a duty and privi- lege

GLASS OUT OF FOCUS

A statesman with the known sagacity of Senator Glass of Virginia opposed the Ship Subsidy Bill upon the ground that it may not accomplish all that is hoped for it. What an amazing obiection Neither the present sys- tenn nor what we had before the war gave us a merchant marine that could be maintained: of that we are certain We are now losing $5O00000o year. The subsidy plan may not work, it is true but it can't possibly be a greater failure than what we have tried in the past--so why not give it a test? We shall at least save $20,000,000 a year. and in these times of high taxes saving of that kind is wortl considering. If Columbus had aban- doned his trip across the Atlantic on the ground that it might not be successful and all others had pursued that policy, where would we be now?

ONLY ONE WAY

President Harding certainly acted wisely if he refused, as reported, to direct Federal Tn. tervention in the law and order problems ot the State of Louisiana. Whether troubles down there are as serious as represented m some sensational newspapers we do not know, but we do know that there IS only one way under OUT Constitution in which Federal 1n- tervention could be justified. The Constltu- ton authorizes the President to ald the states in case of insurrection on request of the legls- lature of state, on request of the gov ernor if the legislature cannot be convened. It will be sad day for the states when they yield police power to Government at Was:- ington, be it Republican or Democratic in po- litical complexion. If the governor of any state thinks he needs Federal assistance, he should call his state legislature in special ses- sion and recommend the adoption of a resolu- tion deoaaring the downfall of the state gov ernment We believe there isn't state Tn the Union whose legislature would do it.

Vermont is the only State in

M. ]. Corliss secretary of the YER

mont maple products exhibit, with
G.. B. Fish of Stockbridge as his
assistant.
This is the first exposition of
this nature ever held, at least in
this section of the country, and it
has started out very auspiciously,
according to Mr.. Crockett. Even
on the first afternoon the Yer
mont booth proved a center of at
traction, large number of people
gathering there to ask questions
about the Green Mountain state
and to get some of the literature
which the state publicity depart
ment has for distribution. Many
people said that they were inter
estcd in Vermont as vacation
land and hoped to come here this
summer, either on a tour or to
spend their vacation on some
one of the numerous lakes.
Besides the maple sugar exhibit
and the literature which is being
circulated both on the part of the
State and on the part of towns,
