Q longer IS It poSSlDle Tor pestl-
 lence, originating in the Far
 East, to get running start along the lines of world commerce, to appear mysteriously on far distant shores and to take heavy toll of human life in many different countries.
 As soon as an outbreak of disease occurs, be it along the banks of the Ganges or the Yangtze-kiang, in South African kraal or Borneo rubber planta- tion, a warning is promptly flashed from Geneva by radio to every government health authority in the world.
 This is part of the work now being done by the Archaeological Intelligence Service of the League of Nations. Be- hind it is tale that needs no embellish- ment to make it appeal to the imagina- tion.
 The field headquarters of the E. I. s, are at Singapore, the strategic center of the crowded Far East, to which almost every widespread epidemic in modern history has been traced. Thanks to the cooperation of the public health admin istrations of British North Borneo, Cey- lon, China, Dutch East Indies, the Philip pine Islands and the Straits Settlements, the bureau is informed instantly of the first appearance of cholera, plague, rat plague, smallpox, yellow fever, etc., in
 h,,o 1f Australasia. Regular reports are also received from Camaran, Fl Tor, Jeddah and Mecca during the annual pilgrim ages, and from Egypt and the East Coast of Africa as far south as Capetown.
 When it is discovered that an epidemic has started somewhere, Singapore imme- diately cables the facts to Saigon. From Saigon, by the courtesy of the govern ment of French Indo-China, the tele- gram is broadcast by radio. The mes- sage is picked up by the Far Eastern administrations and also by the French wireless station of Ste. Assise, near Bor- deaux, which relays it to the Eiffel lC"tl, dliS btltpllolleS lHe IIulHSS Io Geneva, where it is incorporated by the Central Epidemiological Service with news received from other sources by cable and wireless.
 From Geneva, complete health bull letin is broadcast to the world, to find its way through the maze of jazz, opera, eto to all national health administrations. Bad news is certainly made to travel fast by the E. I. S., and by so doing still worse news is made impossible.
 Of what particular concern to the United States is an outbreak of cholera in, say, Java? Cholera doesn't bother us, you say. It is something that ray ages half-civilized peoples,
 A AS matter of fact, it is only by the constant vigilance of the United States Public Health Service that it is kept from becoming established in this coun- try. Every year two or three cases crop up in the United States. Because Ol tiie laPiu anu hidllS iHedHS OI Conl- unication-railrods, automobiles and even airplanes-if it once got a firm foothold over here it would devastate the population in a very short time.
 Cholera, plague, smallpox and yellow fever, like the grim Four Horsemen, are at our gates, ready to gallop over the land at the first indication that our guard has been dropped.
 Supposing cholera should appear in Java. This Dutch possession, the most

 care for the dead and dying century it first assumed appalling pro- portions and spread from India, over Asia, Africa, Europe and America. The prevention of an outbreak in com munity depends primarily upon the prompt detection of the first cases.
 There have been six widespread cpl denies of cholera since 1877. The his tory of each is singularly similar. From it's endemic home in India by means of the pilgrims and the caravan routes the disease was carried to Afghanistan, Turkestan, Persia and Arabia. Egypt was usually infected from Arabia. From Egypt, especially after the employment of steamships for sea travel, the infection was carried rapidly to Mediterranean ports of Turkey, Italy, Spain and France,
 Pilgrims took the infection from Mecca to Syria Palestine, Asia Minor and Russian territory about the Black Sea. Russia also received infection d- rect from Central Asia over the great caravan routes from Persia, Afghanistan and Samarcand to the lower Volga and Baku. Cholera in Germany and Austria has been traced to Russian and Polish sources.

Minutes on Evening Of
Wednesday,, June 30

Efforts to induce Crown Prince
Gustavus Adolphus and Crown
Princess Louise of Sweden to stop off
few minutes in Bismarck and greet
their countrymen hereabouts, have
been crowned with success, accord
ing to notification received this
morning by H. r. Goddard, secretary
Of the Association Of Commerce.
The crown prime and princess will
pass through Bismarck the evening of
June 80, on Northern Pacific train
number 3. Owing to the shortness Of
the time-the train will be held for
20 minutes only-it will be impossi-
BILE for them to 20 to the auditorium
and take part in any extended pro-
gram. The prince will speak few
words to those of his countrymen and
others who desire to hear him. He
has signified his willingness to talk
either in English or Swedish, but it is
likely he will be asked to make his
address in the English tongue.

ATTEMPT TO
TAKE KAISER'S
LANDS FAILS
Referendum on ExprOpriati0i1
of Former Rulers Prop.
erty Unsuccessful

Berlin, June 21-(R-The landed
estate and other properties Of Wilhelm
Honzollern and other former Ger
man rulers. are safe from confisca-
ton. A national referendum to de-
eide whether the properties should be
appropriated by the state failed to
bring out an affirmative vote of half
of the eligible electors, which was
ncccs ssary under the law.
1t would have required an affirma-
tive vote of about 2O.0OO,O00 to have
taken away the holdings of the for
mer ruling houses. The affirmative
vote cast was 14,889,703 and the mega
tive vote 542,311. Fully sixty per cent
of the eligible voters remained away
from the polls while 35 per cent en-
dorsed unconditional confiscatiOn.
More than 100000 ballots were de-
clarcd defective.
The defeat Of the confiscation pro-
posal was a blow to the political
prestige of the socialists, who strong
ly favored 1T.
The referendum was attended by
some disorders. There were clashes
at Madgeburg and Fort Halle, where
several communists we're killed.

Mrs. Cole Injured
in Auto Accident

DR.. W. E. Cole left this morning
by automobile for Rochester, Mimi,
where Mrs. Cole is under treatment
at hospital following an automo-
bile accident Sunday evening. From
the meager information received by
DR.. Cole today, he was inclined to
think that the injuries were minor
and that Mrs. Cole would be able to
leave the hospital within week or
ten days.
Mrs. Cole left Minneapolis Sunday
with a party of friends to see Mrs.
w. F. Crewe, who is convalescing in
Rochester following .ap operation.
They were returning to Minneapolis
about s p. m. and it is thought that
blowout of the front tire caused
the car to- overturn completely. Mrs.
Cole suffered cuts about her head and
bruises. The drivers arm was broken
and other occupants were rather
seriously injured.
Mrs. Cole was visiting her sister,
Mrs. A. A. Jones of Minneapolis. DR..
Cole had planned leaving this week
by automobile for Minneapolis to
bring Mrs. Cole and ths children
home.

the flesh and the allurements of

unmistakable in the enhanced sense
Of dignity and value of human life
which is the source of all political

that Christianity is as incompatible
