Warsaw.?General I'etlura's Ukrain
ian government, which, despite Its
amazing weakness, reamlus the near
est approach to organized authority
that exists between the East tiallclan
frontier and the Dnieper, has sent Its
minister of pnhllc works, Mr. Ilezalko,
to Warsaw to appeal for assistance In
Aghttng the lncre<llble typhas condi
tions In the Petlura coantry. He re
ports that 10,000 men, the remnants of
Petluia's Ukrainian force, have been
sTfieken with the disease and that the
30,000 men of the East Gallclan army,
commanded by , Pavlenko, who from
time to time have co-opera ted with
-Petlura, are In an almost. equally. *bad
plight. About half the cases have
proved fatal.
Hands Are Occupied.
It Is virtually certain that the Poles
will not be able to Rive assistance to
the Ukrainians because their hands
are more than occupied In combating
the'spread of the disease In Poland.
.There Is some typhas In Warsaw?
5,000 cases perhaps; Dvlnsk, recently
captured from the bolsbevjkl, Is In an
appalling condition j tlie epidemic has
swept In virulent form i^ far west as
Cracow, where the normal activities
are half paralyzed; In most Of the vil
lages on the eastern frontiers more
than half the inhabitants are sick aud
there Ts"a disturbing amount of typhus
in the army. Where 20 fumigating ma
chines are needed, the Poles have one;
where a; gallon of carbolic acid Is re
quired they have a gill.
The American typhas commission,
which, with 5,000 men and ".50 officers,
came here last summer to prepare to
combat the disease this winter, lias
been overwhelmed; even the vast sup
plies the commission brought have
proved Insufficient. Several officers
i and men of the commission have died.
Including a colonel who was In charge
of the work at Tarnopol. So there Is
small prospect that Petlura can find
any help here.
Reliable reports Indlrtite that soviet
Russia Is being devastated by the dis
ease; In the recent exchange of pris
oners-bet Ween the Polea-and-the bob
shevlkl, there arrived here h. Doctor
Czechowllz, who over a year ago was
Impressed Into the bolshevik service
as a sanitary expert and assigned to
the work of dealing with typhus. He
says that 11* March of last year there
were 1.340,000 known cases of typhus
"In bolshevik Russia and that condi
tions this year are worse than last
year. He estimates that there are
now at least 2,000.000 ca*es In Russia.
The soviet government has almost' no
facilities for controlling the disease
and comparatively few physicians are
available to care for the sick. In
consequence the percentage of deaths
is new enormous, Osechowltz says.
Usually Poftowa War."
fjllfch an epidemic as the present one
^fojost'Inevitably follows a period of
war In central'Europe. It Is to be at
tributed xto Insufficient food supplies,
weakening the resistance of the peo
ple, and to laqk of clothing, frequently
piaklng cleanliness difficult even for
the moderately well-to-do and Impos
sible for the poor. J
A common assertion Is that, typhas
Is as great a menace to social qnlet
as bolshevlsm. But competent observ
ers here do not believe, this. The peo
ple of this part of the world, they
atgue, have come through centuries
to accept the. peril of typhus as an un?
escapable concomitant of life. Cer
tainly from Poles one hears little out
cry at present conditions; It Is only
those who have known Western civil
isation who are shocked by the spread
and virulence of the disease.
The Polish cabinet has reached no
decision on the proposal to quaran
tine the country and It is hoped that
suspension of the railroad service for
two weeks,' because of the coal crists,
may hare a favorable effect upon the
typhus situation, which could never
have attained the proportions it has
If travel had been supervised and re
stricted a month ago.

Confederates In the 8enatc.
: immediately following the Civil war
nearly every prominent southern sena
tor was a former Confederate soldier.

It was a collection of eminent men,
strong In debate, winning In manners
and character, completely representa
tive of their section. With them sat
Vest, once a senator in the Confede
rate congress; 'Reagan, postmaster
general of the Confederacy, and Vance,
.ilm-waK-governor -of- North Carotlna.
The senate In that period fell and used
Its power more conscientiously than
It does today. v And its overage In
quality was higher, for the North, too,
was represented by a group of loaders
equally competent and distinguished.?

early in the spring in an expedition

natives to be tigers. Reports are that
twenty Chinese, besides a large num

Jave been killed and devoured In the

Euclid and his accompanying demons,
like "isosceles," "prlmeter,** "obtuse"

produced and which will demonstrate
by easy pictorial examples some knot

will start with simple ideas about
strnight lines and triangles, the lat
