REFUGEES:
u. S. Britain to Aid

Plans to ease the plight of war
refugees in areas outside of occu-
pied Europe and to reject any meas
ures that might involve bargaining
with Germany were believed by OBJ
servers to have been embodied in
set of recommendations agreed on
by delegates to the Anglo-American
conference on refugee problems,
held in Hamilton, Bermuda.
Observers indicated that the con-
ference's recommendations include
the temporary relocation in Africa
of 10000 refugees now in neutral
countries until the end of the war,
as well as provisions for the feeding
and care of refugees unable to leave
neutral countries.

women about four days after Inc
birth of a child and had an an-
palling mortality.
In nearly any community in Ike
civilized portions of the United
States, which was then along the
Atlantic seaboard. the mortality
was at least ten percent Of all
women bearing children, attended
by physicians: in some commune
ties it was as high as 30 percent.
The doctors preferred to ascribc
it to an accident or to an act of
God. DR.. Holmes stated in very
clear and specific terms that il
was due to filth that the doctors
carried on their hands. which con-
terminated the mother. This natu-
rally outraged the medical pro-
fession and young DR.. Holmes
(who was only 3i) was attacked
with great vitupcration. He stuck
to his guns, however. and stated:
The disease known as pucrperal
fever is so far contagious as to
be frequently carried from patient
to patient by physicians and
nurses" He also quoted the words
Of Gordon of Aberdeen, who said:

slowly in his fingers. His dark eyes
narrowed. Il would call myself a

Agatha bristled And why are
they less fortunate? Because they
are filled with hatred of each 9TH

ened and impoverished by the wars
they continually wage. America
has shown them how to live in
peaceful progress. She has pointed
the way, but they won't follow her
example. They want to drag her
back into their way of life. You, a
crusader You are erusading only
for yourself"
His lips almost drew up in a
snarl as he stared at her. Are you
drawing a parallel? Are you hint
ing that perhaps you have set me
an example-as America has set a
so-called example to my homeland
and that ! am trying to draw you
back into what you think would be
life of shame?"
Yes, that is exactly how I feel"
"And you have, let us say, only
sentimental attachment for me?
Deep in your hear. you are married
