the toll was infinitely higher, for inl
Serbia alone typhus, a louse-borne J
disease, infected nearly 1,000.000 per
sons and killed 500 a day in Jassy,
while 200 of the 1,200 medical offi- j

ease. This disease spread over Russia,
Austria. Germany and the Balkans
generally.
These figures are vouched for in a
publication prepared by Lieutenant
Lloyd, who was chief entomologist in
Northern Rhodesia. He says:
"Typhus, one of the most dreaded
epidemic diseases of man, is entirely
! due to the activities of lice. The
j same remark applies to relapsing
; fever over the greater portion of the
| world. Still a third disease, trench
fever, has placed to the credit of the
'ousc and possibly even now the fuH
extent of its guilt is not known."
Lieutenant Lloyd, in discussing the
typhus outbreak at the notorious
Wittenburg camp in Germany, from
which the German doctors fled, makes
the statement:

that typhus is spread by lice, and
that the epidemic could have been cut
short and stamped out in a week after
its commencement by the disin

LAND SETTLEMENTS IN 1
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Clomson College.?Secretary Hou*
ton, of the Department of Agri t
culture, yield in an address recently \
delivered to a conference of editors ol 11
agricultural Journals: "It would bt (
desirable to facilitate land settlement t
in more systematic fashion. This has
been too long left to the haphazard
intervention of private enterprise, and
the* Nation has suffered not a little *
from irresponsible private direction 1
I think it is high time for the Federal <
and State governments both, as wel! I
as local communities, to seek to aic 1
in, land settlement by furnishing actua
facts, reliable information, and agri j
cultural guidance to begining farmers
and to promote well-considerod settle
mont plans. It is particularly vita (
that the process of acquiring owner
ship of farmers bo encouraged ant
hastened."
Those views are, also shared by th
Department of Labor and of the In
terior. Secretary Lane has associar
esd, with him, some of the best engi
neers who have been connected witb
reclamation work of various kinds
The semi-arid lands of the West, th?
cut-over and swamp lands of the
South are being visited, that propel
measures may be taken as soon at
possible to render them fit for th?
plow, and open them for settlement
In those days of reconstruction
when industry may be disorganized bj
the cancellation of Government con
tracts for its products, and by the
demobilization of large bodies both o.
working men and soldiers, the lane
beckons to the man more insistantlj i
than ever before. It will certainly bt j
made easier for the man who wishes t< j
own a farm to get it on reasonable |
terms. And these measures cur<
a far worse evil. They provide tht
very host security against the discon
tent likely to arise from unemploy
ment and a lack of food. Tire idle acre:
can givo healthful and profitable em
ploynrent to all who can he place<;
upon them; but home ownership mus"
be the goal, and fair annual profits
above a normal standard of living
liruot bo the means advanced to so
euro these settlers. Almost ever^
man can find congenial employment
at his home, if he owns it. or is be
coming the owner of it. A few acres
will suffice to provide food supplies ii
largo part, for the family, and a sur
plus for market. Organized methodi
of disposing of the surplus in anj
community will go far towards pro
viditig funds for the other necessariei
of life.
In South Carolina, there are about
19,500.000 acres. Two-thirds, or about
13,500,000 acres are in farms. One;
un:u 01 mo state lies absolutely idl?
for agricultural purposes; it consisti
of roads, towns and cities, and worn I
out and swamp wood land. But of th<
| 13,500,000 acres in farms, crops arc
grown on loss than half. To be exact j
the crops of 1917 were grown on 6,198.1
000 acres. Probably at least as mucl
more can be used for growinj
I crops and for pastures, but le
i us say there yet remain onl
2,000,000 acres in the State fit foi
farming. As 35 acres is the size a
the average farm cultivated, there i:
room then for nearly 60,000 more farn
families. What a vast amount of lan<
settlement r-ould he done in Souti
Carolina; what untold wealth could b?
; added to the property lists, if the loca
! communities, as Secretary Iloustoi
! suggests, should aid beginning farm
! ers!
Federal and State aid in the settle
! mont of large tracts is necessary, bu
nothing can be done anywhere unles.
the people who already own the lane
are willing to sell it at reasonable
prices, and to welcome the new set
tiers.
We have perhaps the best all tht
year climate in the whole country, a
, .... .? - i
i is snown oy me location or so man;
army camps in the South. We cot
tainly have vacant land in great nbun
dance. It is cheap cnly because of tli
! sparsity of our population, a.nd thoi
use of poor agricultural methods.
It is still comparatively cheap. on<
at prevailing prices, is in many part
o-f the State, an attractive investment
But there ought to be in every com
munity, a committee of the Chamhe
: of Commerce, or of the Fanners
| Union, or of self-appointed citizens, or
I at the least, one or two men, whosi
! business it is to find new settlers, t(
assist them in buying their farms am
to make them feel at home among us
It is not necessary to wait upoi
State or Federal movement. We ca:
begin now by assisting those who havbeen
tenants, and wish to heron:
owners, to find good farms in oi?
own neighborhood at reasonah'
prices. Certainly wo can help thes
men to join a National Farm Lon
Association, and so obtain half tl
purchase price of their farms at th
most favorable rates. To have i
share in multiplyig the prosperous
contented farm owners of any com
munity ia to render a very iarg'j sun
ice to the State and Nation, for upoi
them our civilization ultimately rest;
That large service every one of u?
may perform in some measure. A fev
of us will make somo financial profit
by the settlement of our idle lands
but all of us will bo increasingly en
richcd by the fuller, healthier eountr;
life consequent upon their settlemen
by farm-owners.?W. H. Mills, Profes

Washington?President Wilson has

UU * ?
mr picture oi a court above
ongresses and sovereigns that Senitor
Lodge, Knox and others have
tainted in their opposition to the
President's plans for having the mahinery
to prevent wars an integral
feature of \he pea^e treaty is only
i fancy sketch.
It became known to-night that
before he U ft Washington the President
divulged some measure of his
dca of what would constitute a
League of Nations competent to procoot
another world conflagration to
t number cf Senators, not all of his
party, and that idea is as far from
the super-tribunal prepared to blast
with fire and sword any country offending
against its decisions as
could be magined.
Nations Still to He !>ee.
The League of Nations President
Wilson outlined to these Senators
would interfere with the government
of the constituent countries in no
particular. It would not even take
away from them the power to declare
war, except as the opinion of
mankind would make such a declaration
unthinkable and would bring in
its train such penalties in the form
of non-intcrcourse as would make it
impossible for the offending nation
to persevere.
The League would have no international
police to impose its sentences
on sulprit kingdoms and reuublics,
but it wouM have the moral
influence of a united world, each
competent of which would lend its
power to make the verdicts of the
international congress effective.
"Nations go to war," said one. of
the Sconaiors who received the President's
confidence, "in order to advantage4
themselves, either by gct'ing
something they haven't got or
to prevent another nation from taking
from them something they wish
to retain, either material or moral.
If the cause that would isemd them in
to battle is just they can win it
through a league of nations; if it
isn't ihov know H>nv mnnnl trot 't
and with the certainty of going up
against the world instead of the
single nation they wish to victimize,
they iye not going to attempt it."
Senate Likely to Approve.
When the President's treaty
comes before the Senate it probably
will be approved, because none of the
objections that have been raised
against the hypothetical treaty will
apply.
