est incidence in the armies-the one
during the first and the other during
the last months of the war-were ty-
phoid fever Tor. to be more exact, ty-
phoid and para-typhoid) and influ-
enza. The total number of cases of
typhoid diseases totaled 10000 for
the whole duration of the war, which
resulted in 5000 deaths. But it is note
worthy that, under the influence OF ty-
phoid and para-typhoid vaccination:
which, as time went on. was carried
out in continually increasing numbers
and with improving technic, the curve
for these diseases fell from year to
year with astonishing rapidity. The
monthly averages of new cases ranged
from -6712 (1914-15) to 1858 (1916),
40 (191O and GA (101Sl.
10000 Cases Of Influenza.
Among the French troops at the
front there were 10000 cases of in
fluenza, although the epidemic extend
ed over only the last nine months of
1918; this means that there were more
than u 900 cases a month. The total
number of deaths from influenza IN
the army exceeded $1,000, or NOR
tality of more than 1900 month.
Aside from the great influenza cpl
demic that marked the close of the
war, it may be said that, once the
typhoid affections had been brought
under control through vaccination.
there were no distinctive epidemic dis
eases due to the World war. 1t is
worthy of note that the ordinary cpl
demic diseases of peace times (measles,
scarlet fever. mumps and diphtheria)
scarcely affected the troops at the
front-less. in fact than the troops
at the rear-the proportion being 1
to ), 1 to or / to 2, for different
diseases. The proportion of electives
affected by these diseases was always
small, rarely reaching one per thou
sand for the troops at the front, and
remaining around two or three per
thousand for the troops modified at
the rear.
The number. of physicians modified
for the army medical corps amounted
to so per cent of the total number of
physicians practicing in France. On
the date of the armistice there were
21,1S1 physicians modified. 1907 be-
ing assigned to the fighting forces and
19,474 to the reserves; the former
were accordingly less than 10 per cent
of the total. On the same date there
were 1898 pharmacists. 120,352 male
nurses and 10000 female nurses. OF
the female nurses, 300 were army
nurses and 5000 were from the Red
Cross, serving with the units Of the
medical corps.

Military Training Camps Start
Campaign.


No effort is being wastad bv 49,
oniCed states War Department in
seeking enlistments for the Citizens
Military Training Camps. Even tho
tne date for the actual opening of the
camps IS several months off. posters
and advertisements are being Mas.
tered up all over the country at
very great expense.
During the last two wears tba
quotas had not been filled due main
~ to the fact that rotten food had
Deen served in the camps. The news
spread lar and wide and even the
capitalist papers could not overlook
the disclosure that boys joining the
training camps might be poisoned be-
cause Of rotten food.
In the advertisements bv the oov-
, ernment this year they assure tbe
youth Of the United States that good
wholesome food will be offered
Wheher that is so or not is not so
very important (tho the government
has failed to take care of the sick
and wounded soldiers in proper man
ner). There is no doubt that brutal
treatment awaits the young fellows
In some form or other, whether it is
intensive training or abuse from the
arrogant officers.
The purpose of the Citizens Mill
tary Training Camps is to build up an
available fighting force in the event
OF a capitalist war. Tho the armed
force has grown to tremendous pro-
portions IN recent years, the War De-
partment has a plan for the building
up of mass armed force which #
can put into action at a moments
notice. The Citizens Military Train
ing Camps are a necessary cog in this
new military machine.
The militarists in the United States
have one hope for the success of the
Citizens Military Training Camp this
summer, and that is widespread un-
employment. It is known fact that
hungry men are not very particular
whether they eat the rotten food of
the Citizens Military Training Camp
or the refuse of garbage cans.
Samuel Gompers has expressed
himself as in favor of this form of
military training. While overlooking
the fact that the vast mass of work
ing youth are unorganized, Gompers
finds time to. express himself agree
able to organizing this youth against
labor in the military forces of the
United States.
The Citizens Military Training
Camp holds nothing that is in the
interest of labor; it is strictly against
the good of the organized and unor-
ganized workers to see its success.
More than once have the armed
forces of this government been used
against striking workers. The Citi-
zen's Military Training Camp is no
exception.

AhcAc AS less Jalk nowadays IN
the capitalist press about alleged
graft in Soviet Russia than was com
mon before the Teapot Dome spilled
its oily freight over the pages Of
current history. On the contrary the
little that seeps thru the capitalist
censors about the Workers Republic
indicates that officials who take
liberties with the institutions and
property of the Russian workers re-
ceive scant consideration even tho in
the past they have made sacrifices
for the cause.

his way back from Moscow declared
that Russia has the most efficient
and businesslike government in the
world. listened to a debate several
years ago between John Spargo and
Tom Mann, in which the former held
that the workers could not manage
industry. Our Russian comrades are
giving the lie to the renegade Spar
go, despite the obstacles placed in
their way by international capitalism
and the reacdonary labor leaders.

resources in the world, with three

Haiti Seeks Way
To Force Out u S.
Naval Forces There

Lyons, France, June 20. (By A. P. }
Haiti, through her minister to
Paris, M. Bellegarde, will endeavor
to secure passage of a resolution by
the International Federation of
League Of Nations Societies against
the. presence of American naval
forces in Haiti. This became known
today with the opening of the eighth
annual plenary assembly of the fed
GRAFTON.
When the question comes up a
letter will be introduced from
Theodore Marburg. chairman of the
foreign relations committee of the
American Non-partisan League of
Nations Society, explaining the
American viewpoint; that the Unit
ed States dispatched the marines in
the interests of the people of Haiti
and will undoubtedly recall them as
soon as a, dependable government
is, established. The American gov
eminent, the letter adds, Is deter
mined Haiti shall have fair play.
The Japanese League Association,
which has strong delegation here.
has submitted a draft resolution
dealing with the status of foreigners
and, aiming generally at recognition
of racial equality without discrimin-
ination. 1t declares that without in
volving the immigration question, a
nation belonging to the. League of
Nations should apply the same re-
Qufrements for admission and de-
parture from the country to classes
OF people Of other member nations
who fall within the commercial or
mercantile groups irrespective of
their origin.

Trolley Derailed on

Car number IA on the Waterville-

tracks last evening shortly before s
o'clock while crossing the Western ave-
nuo bridge coming to Waterville, and
the front right-hand trolley wheel
crashed through a plank in the bridge,
giving the passengers somewhat of a

for a short time. Motorman Adelbert
Decker of Oakland was operating the
car and stated last evening that he
was travelling at a very low rate of
speed when the accident occurred. Mr..
Decker could not say just whether a
stone on the tracks caused the derail-
ment or not. The car was stopped
between six and eight feet after 1t
left the tracks and dropped through
the planks. About Is passengers v re
reported to have been on the chr and
some OF these were taken to the end
of their journey by automobiles. Two
extra trolleys, one from Oakland and
the other from Waterville. were put
into service and by relays very little
trouble was caused in carrying passen-
gers on the line. A wrecking crew of
several men were busy last evening
after the accident and in an hour or so
had the car back on the tracks and
headed for Oakland.
