HEALTH OF SOUTH NJ WORSE THAN IN NORTH--D WELCH
Denies That South Is Ridden With Malaria and HookWorm
 As Dr. Armstrong Charges
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD

An address of pr. Donald B. Arm strong of the national health council. New York city, at Boston, in which he advised New England business men to beware of the malaria and hookworm ridden south. brought fire from pr. S. W. Welch, tstate health of fieer, in letter in which he wrote Dr. Armstrong today.
 Newspaper dispatches quoted Dr. Armstrong as asking: "Is it better to pay high wages to large group of workers. 2 per cent of whom are i'll at any one time, or is it better to take chance with low wages in a malaria and hookworm- ridden southern population, with a 10 per cent continuous illness rate and the coincident low percentage of eff cency and time loss"
 pr. Welch wrote letter to Dr. Armstrong in which he said: My at tention has been called to a Boston dispatch in the New York Times which credits you with saying. in ef- feet: Young men, stay north and avoid the south with its malaria and hookworm ridden population"
 q am greatly amused at this swan song of commercial interests over the flow of capital and industries into the south You fail to recognize the fact that we have the climate, we have the sources of power. we have the cotton and we have the Anglo Saxon blood which always dominates every situation. Malaria and hook worms are fast disappearing before intelligent efforts of control. Ala bama is coming into her own. We are going to get your capital and your industries and you had just as well prepare to take your medicine.
 General Gorgas is credited with the statement that it requires much less money to protect human beings from the diseases which prevail in the south than 1t does to buy coal to keep them warm in the north. Capital and industry must recognize and soon yield to the mandates of this inexor- able law of economies"

possible out of the boom days ahead.
 There Is an economic axiom that If there is to be maintained prosper lty the railroads, among a few key industries, must be prosperous. This has it's parallel in the aixom that the railroads will doubtess work to have the present transportation act amended so as to break some of the shackles they feel are restraining them. One of these is the railroad labor board and the other is the rate making powers of the Inter- state Commerce commission which permit of regulating freight rates generally so as to effect an average return to the roads of what the com mission fixes as fair net. This percentage now is b2. which many ot the roads claim they are not secur- ing.
 Fear Next Congress.
 The coming year will be most important one for the republican ad-l ministration. At the same time be- cause of the fact that the new Con- gress will contain many Independ- ent' republicans who already have placed themselves on record in oppo sition to railroad interests, 1t may prove fateful one for the roads.
 Given something of a free hand, the railroads might well look forward lO one oE tHe HoSt prosperous years In their history. The amount ot freight being handled by the rail- roads at this time is. generally speak ing, the greatest for the same period in any previous year. It Is indi- cative of a boom year in business, even coal loadings joining those Of cattle. ore, merchandise and freight in measuring up to or surpassing those of recent years.
 So the railroads wish first to place themselves in a position to handle the business economically and effici- ently-and also to reap what they be- lieve to be overdue monetary re- wards for their pains.

REFUGEES SUFFER IN EAST
 TURKS MAKE VICTIMS PAY

CONSTANTINOPLE, April T. Great misery exists among the thou sands of Greek refugees housed in the Turkish military barracks here
 Within period of seven days there occurred 297 deaths. Living and halfliving, sick, dying and dead are all mingled together without separa-
 tion, without pity, and without shame. Many of them are crowded into the filthy stables where they lie on the mud floor all day, shivering in their last rags of covering. They are mostly women and children.
 The Turkish authorities are doing nothing to ameiorate these condi- tions. They simply intern the re- fugees and say t is not their affair. Yet the Kemalist officials on the OlGGh Ord GOAL4uAc LO ScAu Lue wretched creatures here by the thousands, mostly by the Turkish government ships. They are all dumped in the Selimie Barracks. It is a profitable enterprise for the Turks, because the refugees must pay their passage. They are charged seven and half Turkish pounds each for the trip from the Black Sea to Constantinople.
 Commercial speculation and gov ernment pressure seem, therefore to be the motives which continue to be the tragedy. The Turks have re- gently expelled the surviving Greek of Trezizond and Erzer- oom, thus agravating the situation.
