In one of the most extensive fights ; that has ever been made by any re- j liglou* body In America for the ersdi- ' eattou of disease, Southern Baptists,1 through their Home Mission Board, have undertakon the task of combating tuberculosis in tho 18 states comprising the territory of the Southern Baptist Convention. The first step in this direction was the recent eatab-; lishment on a tract of 143 acres at El Paso, Texas, of the Southern Baptist Sanatorium, where $500,000 from the 76 Million Campaign has been invested and where $500,000 more will be placed by the end of the Campaign period. The Institution is located at an altitude r.i 4,500 feet on the side of Mt. Franklin and commands an excellent view of the mountains of New Mexico, Western Texas and Old Mexico, whose border Is only six miles distant. Dr. H. F. Vermillion is superintendent. Included in this plant at present are the administration building, the newly completed women's infirmary and men's infirmary, a heating and refrigerating plant nnd the superintendent's quarters. Provided for in the building plans for the future are a medical and educational building, nurses' home, children's building, dormitories foj- convalescent patients, an occupational and vocational therapy building, <shapel, laundry and minor e-r tructures. 750 People Die DaPy.

(By a Staff Corespondent of The Associated Press).?The numerical and geographical extent of the great famine cannot be given. There is today and has been as much food available in Samara, for those who have money, as in Baku, -on the Caspian Sea, 2,000 miles distatn. The Russian refugees from Bolshevism in Constantinople are suffering from hunger and lack of clothing almost as much as those Russians in Poltava and th6y in their turn as mhch as those in Orenburg. The Associated Press correspondent completed a journey from Constantinople to Moscow by way of Tiflis, Baku, Astrakhan and Samara, and everywhere found intense misery, the most sordid of which was seen in the dreary steppe region between Tiflis (Georgia) and Baku (port of Azerbaijan on the Caspian Sea). There revolution after revolution for five years, has left a trail of destruction and ruined houses and wrecked railway stations which cannot be matched in Russia. Added to the lack of food, is the constant battle with malaria, cholera, and typhus, and ndded to these is the cold against which there is little shelter or luei. No more pathetic sigh was seen than that of the Baku central railway station where thousands of men, women and children, going nobody could say where, were camped on dirty sid. ings, for the most part dressed in rags and eating scraps of food like hunted animals. To the north, along the Volga in Russia, the misery is often of the respectable, cleanly kind. At Czaritzyn thousands of families are living in railway cars. Others have been housed in villas and palaces. Beggiflg in rather the exception than the rule everywhere in the fam ine regions. * The German colonists villages and towns along the Volga are so clean'y and orderly, surrounded by such florid luxuriance of fleld and forest, that it it hard to believe their people are sufferm* ^orn hunger. As everywhere in Russia, the churches are open, and services are held. At Volsk, lists Wage Vig< iberculosis In T 1 o ?" * - . s .?

The death rate from tutyerculoRis is 14.2% higher iu the South than in the Nation a8 a whole. One reason for the exceedingly high death rate in the South is the great prevalence of the plague among the negroes who are especially susceptible to tubereulo.-is, the death rate among them being three and one-half times that among the whites. But inasmuch as the negroes will doubtless continue to be intimately associated with the whites in domestic and other work in the future, the whites will never be safe from infecfion until the negroes, as well as the whites, have beep freed from the plague. * It has teen estimated that the total economic loss from the ravages of tuberculosis in the South is $175,000,000 a year, and in projecting their warfare against the plague the Baptists hope to greatly reduce thii loss, as well as to save the life and promote K/v.?nu > * -mmi * mo iir-tmii aim {$01101 <ti emcieney of the wholo people. ' Would Educate the People. In addition to providing treatment tor persons who have already conwhen the correspondent attended vespers, he was followed out of the church by one of the priests who begged that food confie from America before his people starved. In the worst areas there is far more hunger swelling than was seen in Vienna in the winter of 1918. This is the last stage of starvation and when it comes neither foor nor medicine will help. The majority of such cases are to be seen in the cities, about the railway station, in the trains or about the landing stages and on the steamers of the Volga, where hundreds of thousands of peasant wanderers are seeking to reach friends in districts where they imagine food conditions are better. The government is trying to discourage such wanderings but they are continuing. 4 The distances made by peasant families is incredible. At Saratov, about the river front, may be met families from Orenburg going toward Ukraine, where the crops did not fail, and then families from Astrak. han going Up river to some one of the German villages such as Volsk or Baronov. While there is perfect order in all Russia, on every hand the individual struggle for life, for daily fod, is bitter and hard. No one thinks ol anyone elpe. Robbery is limited, as robbers are shot when caught, but tricltery in small trading is the rule, A warm place to sleep, something tc eat, and clothing, are the beginning and end of daily life. Children arc brushed aside, ignored or treated like little animals. A person invited to a meal will eat twice what good manners would permit. He is laying1 in a stock of food building up his body, he figures, foi the winter cold. Those with monej are hoarding food. In some place! peasants refuse to sell bread at anj price. They are afraid of the wintei famine. t. >r?, M*U<t with Hlll? Ribbon. M Take no ulher. Bar ,f J,.,, V I L. jf IUAMONO HRANI?

Other phases of toe educational program include the training of worker* inside the sanatorium and occupational and vocational work for patients. The extension department is widely disseminating literature on how to combat tuberculosis. An endowment fuud that is being croaffli for the institution will make possible a much larger circulation of literature and will also enable the institution to take care of indigent patients. The sanatorium is at present seeking to devise special plans whereby it can serve the negroes of the South in combating tuberculosis. It is felt that the negroes' inability to help themselves in the matter entities tne*n to this consideartion and that this assistance should be given, further more, as a means of self-protectio?Q oa the part of the whites. The piercing of women's ears for the wearing of ear-rings is a survival of the old heathen customs of mutilating the body to please some god. [. .

The scheme, which is a drastic form of unification, provides for the abolition of the Senate, the vesting of the final jurisdiction in all cases in the 1 High Court, and disallowing the ac_ ceptance of Imperial honors in any circumstances by any Australian citizen. > i m i Asks That Circulars And Catalogues be left out i New ^York, Nov. 21.?Postmaster , Morgan has again appealed to the " business men of New York to discon; tinue, as far as possible, the mailing of large quantities of circulars and I catalogues during the week immediI ntely preceding Christmas day. This i is to enable the post-office to handle the great quantity of Christmas mail i which begins to run heavy about two ; weeks before the holiday. The postmaster stated that busi> ness men aided him last year in pre' venting congestion of mail at that ! time by withholding mail which could ' be deferred until after Christmas.

Gift of LiUrarv to Yale New Haven, Conn., Nov. 21.?Acceptance by the Yale Corporation of the gift of a library of Argentine literature, places within the university the largest and b^st selected collection of South American literary works in the United StateThe donor of the library, which has just been installed, was Carlos Alfredo Tornquist of Buenos Aires. It numbers 500 volumes. The presentation was made by Enrique Gil, a member of the Argontine Bar, who has offices ?n New York City. It had been a aged that Thomas LeBreton, the Argentine ambassador to the United States, should be present when the library was formally turned ovt# to the Corporation but at the last moment he was unable to come and Senor Gil, a friend of both Mr. Tornquist and Ambassado LeBreton, attended the Corporation meeting. The library * contains specially bound volumes on history, law, letters, oratory and sociological subjects. Mr. Tornquist is a professor in the University of Buenos Aires, and long had had admiration for Yale University. The Yale collection of Latin-Americn books now numbers several thousand volumes. / Leaders in India Removed London, Nov. 20.?Three of the most active of the followers of Ghandi, the Independence leader in India, have been removed from activity for the time being by the sentence of two years' imprisonment imposed at Karachi, India, of Mahomed Ali, Shaukat ai: J r*.. ? ? -f -TXJI ailU XJ1 iYlbClUCW UK l lull v o U1 sedition and causing disaffection among the troops. According to information received here, the Ali brothers have been a source of trouble to the British government in India for some years. They were interned in 1915 on charges of having promoted sympathy for the King's enemies in the war. Four years later, in 1919, they were imprisoned on charges of disloyalty in the Afghan war, but were released after about six months' imprisonment, under a royal proclamation of clemency toward political prisoners at the tie of the passing of the India Reform Act. It is claimed that they at once renewed their activity against the government. Mahomed Ali was selected leader of the Caliphate delegation which came to London last year and was granted interviews by the prime minister. ' On returning to India, it is charged that he prompted the migration of pious Musselmans from India to Afghanistan, which migration was part of the Caliphate agitation. Some 18,000 persons left their homes in the frontier provinces.of India but soon returned after suffering severe hardships in Afghanistan. The government charged that the Ali brothers were in cloee association with Ghandi and moved up and down the country conducting a campaign of non-cooperation and made constant appeal to the militant fervor of their co-religiorists. Asking for Dry Zone Santiago, Chile, Nov. 18.?President Alessandri has announced that he intends to ask Congres to pass legislation prohibiting the sale of all intoxicants in the industrial centers of Chile. These include the coal mining districts in the south and the nitrate fields in the northern province?* The president's announcement was in reply to requests from various so.. . cieties asking for a "dry zone" in the coal mining districts where a clash occurred recently between work' ers, alleged to have been intoxicated, and government troop*. Eight of the worker* were killed and 20 wounded before order was restored.

A company of American "movie" actors has been staging a hectic drama of love and hate in th" South Seas. The coconut groves and fairy valleys have echoed to the cries of frenzied directors and clicking of cameras until the lotus eaters have been awakened from their beatific dreams; and the tinkle of much back shesh has stirred even the Tahitian native to got up and bustle. It has not been one "grand sweet song" for the director. There has been no little difficulty in getting the native "supers" to take their parts seriously. When the big aeroplane engine started the hurricane, which was to sweep the native villago to the four quarters of the compass, the inhabitants, instead of rushing from their tottering huts and registering consternation, stood around in groups laughing at the artificial destruction and incidentally spoiling several hun drcd feet of valuable film. Nor has it been easy to induce pious church members (whose ancestors repudiated heathenism over a hundred years fcgo) to bow down with convincing | abandon to the big papier_mache idol (made in the U.

They haw long been ardent devotees of the mov ing pictu.e theatre; and this opportunity of witnessing the teehniiuie of the making: of pictures has afforded them much delight. For Best Results !
