12 TUBERCULOSIS DEATH RATE BIG rlighest in the World in the Balkans, Asserts Red Cross Bucharest, Oct. 10.—The tubercu osis death rate in the Balkans is the lighest in the world, asserts the medical station of the American Red Cross headquarters here. This Is based on reports from the Red Cross in Rumania, Serbia, Albania and Montenegro. The distressing factor is that the countries are almost wholly without sanitoriums for the treatment of tu berculosis. Red Cross relief is tem porary and it is considered beyond its province to found sanitoriums on the scale that would be needed. __ I I The Accepted Autumn Modes in | | Women's Suits I Yalama Faison Silvertone Rayonner Duvetyn Cameleon Cord Tinseltone Peach Bloom Maduro Cloth x In All the New Autumn Shades .

The per centage has been placed at about 80 per cent. Dr. Geraldine E. Watson, of Brooklyn, N. Y., reports: "Thou sands of children are dying of con sumption in Montenegro. The per centage of tuberculosis in children is fearfully high.' The probable source of infection is the milk of tubercular cattle with which the country is overrun." Amusements Needed on Merchant Ships New York, Oct. 10. —The United States Shipping Board has requested the New York War Camp Comrrro nity Service to supply the vessels in the merchant service with recrea tional equipment. This appeal means a recognition of the value found by the naval authorities in the amuse ment facilities laid, before the sailors in the United States Navy by the community service during the war. Following the men of the Navy back into civilian life or into a new term of service in the merchant ma rine, the community service stands ready to assist the men it has helped while in naval uniform. The men in the merchant marine live through long periods of isola tion from their fellow-men, months spent on the high seas with strange cities as their destination. On shipboard a box of dominoes or a pack of cards is nothing short of a heaven-sent boon. Many a game of cards played between bunkies in their limited sleeping quarters has assumed great importance in ward ing off a serious case of "blues." MEMORIAL PARK ADDITION The Suburb Unparalleled.—Adv. laULRRISBURG tgSggg TELEGRAPH MANY SICK AND WOUNDEDFLEE IN FREIGHT CARS Refugees From West of Omsk Are in a Pitiable Condition Omsk, Oct. 10. —Almost unim aginable suffering. Illness and great loss of life has attended the hurried evacuation of vast territory west of Omsk owing to the recent advance of the Bolshevik armies. Refugees from the territory menaced by Bol shevik! Invasion were herded into boxcars with the wounded and ill from the fighting front and started eastward into Siberia with a pitiful lack of doctors and nurses. Conditions prevailing at Koulom zino, a station across the river from Omsk, probably are typical of doz ens of other places along the Si berian railway as far east as Kras noyarsk. I/ike Living Skeletons In this auxiliary freight yard at Koulomzino, the Associated Press correspondent saw trainloads of ill and wounded men wasted with dys entery, typhus and typhoid, lying on bare plank floors under filthy over coats or blankets, too weak to move. There were men with wounds that had not been dressed for days and whose bodies were so shrunken from disease and lack of food that they resembled skeletons or rather dying skeletons. In some instances the dead had lain for days in the midst of the liv ing and dying who were so dulled by suffering as not to know or care. Among these refugees the Inter- Allied anti-typhus train in charge of Captain Conner, of the American Red Cross refugee section, endeav ored to give'temporary aid. Owing to the evacuation of the Red Cross personnel on orders of Ambassador Roland S. Morris, of Tokio, Miss Williams had little aid in distribu tion of medical supplies and cloth ing furnished by the Red Cross. Upon arrival of a trainload of sol diers the occupants are transferred, car by car to the bath train while a locomotive passes down the line pumping steam into the vacated cars to kill vermin. Meantime the patients are given a steam bath and their clothing and effects sterilized. On emerging each is given a new suit of cotton underwear, furnished by the American Red Cross. Makes Fifth Flight The refugees passing eastward in endless strings of trains are in bet ter condition than the soldiers. Most of them regard their fate phil osophically. One old woman in a family party -with several babies and two bright girls of seven or eight years said she was now making her fifth enforced flight since the Ger mans occupied Vilna, her home town before the revolution. Miss Margaret Matthews, of the Red Cross refugee section has fol lowed the train eastward to Kras noyarsk to give aid there and Dr. Manget, head of the Red Cross in Western Siberia, is preparing to open a 2,000-bed hospital in Omsk. An example showing the lack of intelligent co-operation in the care of sick and wounded soldiers was shown in the fact that while hun dreds of: them were passing through Koulomzino, a splendidly equipped Russian sanitary train with bath car and operating and dressing cars, lay unused in the Koulomzino yard waiting to go to the front. SOLDIERS URGED TO HOLD INSURANCE Many men who have dropped their war risk insurance, give as their reason for so doing, their dis like of the so-called "red tape" in volved. Upon further questioning, they immediately cite personal or hearsay cases of endless correspon dence resulting from a seemingly hopeless tangle. Invariably these cases are found to have resulted from incorrect or Incomplete accom lishment of the necessary applica tion forms; or carelessness in the matter of payments. The business, although over whelmed for a time by the great volume of business, has made but few errors, if one considers them on a percentage basis; and that is the only fair basis. Moreover, it has constantly eliminated confusion and error of past cases; and made pro visions against the future; and made efforts to avoid so-called "red tape." The latest move in this direction, comes through the provision that men now entering the service may, within 120 days after enlistment or enter into the active military or na val service, apply for permanent government insurance without first applying for term insurance. MISSING SOLDIER BEING HUNTED BY WAR DEPT. In an effort to locate Charles Butts Titus, a missing: soldier who was attached to the Field Artillery in the September replacement draft, a circular and poster bearing his photograph have been sent to Army hospitals.

Titus left for overseas service with a Camp Jackson replacement draft, Fourth Battery, Field Artillery, in September. His serial number was 4123789. He was reported lost when the Ticonderoga was sunk Septem ber 30, 1918, but later reported to be in a hospital in France.

London Discusses Skyscraper Question London, Oct.. 10.—The old ques tion of whether London is to have skyscrapeis is being revived because ; of the high price of property in the I business section and the lack of i space in office buildings. The government buildings in \ Whitehall are four stories high, but j it has been found necessary to add a story to the War Ottlce to meet I the demands of the department. | One well-known architect in touch with the government's plans ex i pressed the opinion that unless the i new and the lod ministries were [ content to do their work outside of j the area devoted to governmental activities skyscrapers were inevitable ! in Whitehall. Generally speaking, however, Lon don does not like tall buildings. Percy Tubbs, past president of the Soc'ety of Architects, declared that I if the skyscraper was to come it | would be necessary to widen the streets.
