. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1921—PART T. - TOFIGHT TYPHUS _U. S. Doctors and Nurses Find Fatalistic Slavs Do é . Not Fear Disease. By the Associated Press. CATTARO, Jugoslavia, March 11.— Russian refugees, brought to this I port following the collapse of the Wrangel government in south Rus- sia. were forced to take measures { against typhus fever only by a show of authority by American doctors here. The Russians either did not fear the disease. or were actuated by the fatalistic habits of thought common 1o their native land. When asked to take precautions, such as ! bathing and disinfecting their cloth- iing, they complained. “What is the use of all this>” ask- ‘ed one of Dr. C. C. Yount of Pitts- burgh, an_American Red Cross phy- | sician. “Certainly a number will die. but by summer the discase Will be gon Hospital Staff Stricken. Dr. Yount said today that in_one hospital under supervision of Rus- sizas, 30 per cent of the staff had been stricken with typhus simply be- | cause ordinary precautions were not observed. . Dr. John R. Hanson of St. Louis Mo., who is assisting Dr. Yount in caring for Russian refugees here. conducted the Associated Press cor- respondent through the refugees’ camp where the epidemic is raging. The refugees were found huddled on | the floors of buildings formerly used as airplane hangars. They had no Veds. and slept on the hard cement floors. In some cases the parents of four or five children had made some ef. fort to secure privacy, sheets of baper having been tacked up as a dividing line between their “apartments” and others nearby. The conditions seemed most hopeless. Many had been re- moved to the hospital, but there were no white sheets there. Ten babfes were born at this hospital during the last two months. Baltimore Nurses He Dr. Hanson has been using old Aus-, trian war material to equip a disin- fecting plant, and he and Dr. Yount have established several stations nearby. B ting them are three nurses from Johns Hopkins Hospital. Baltimore, Md. _These are Miss Marion Rosseter of Worcester, Mass.; Miss Barbara MacLeod of Everett Mass., | and Miss Mona Wilson of Torento, | Canada. . Typhus in this region will be stamped out with the coming of the summer. in the opinion of Dr. C. C. Yount of Pittsburgh, an American Red Cross physician. He said that, the present epidemic in the Balkans and central Europe would last until May or June and then disappear. “Warm weather is the best thing for typhus” declared Dr. Yount. “There is little chance for body ver- min, because scant clothing is worn. Thus the body is exposed and kept cleaner. “There is typhus virtually every- where in these back lands, and all migrants from these countries should be doubly watched for a pe- riod of three weeks. We still have une hundred cases among our two thousand Russian refugees, but the curve is descending. Before the out- break was discovered thousands of refugees were dispersed through Jugoslavia, carrying the scourge with them." IJKE FIRST RUSS REVOLT. —_— Kerensky Says Present Upheaval ‘Will Result as 1917 Revolution. _By the Associated Press. LONDON, March 11.—Russia today is in the beginning of phases of up- heaval which will have essentially the same result as the memorable occurrence of March 12. 1917, said Alexander F. Kerensky. Russi for- mer “man of destiny. “The fundamentul causes of the outbreaks in Russia,” Kerensky de- olared, “are the same as those which brought about the first revolution just four years ago, and the outcome inevitably will be the same—the over- throw of the dictatorship. “To the Russian working masses and the peasantry.” Kerensky con- Tinued. “czarism and bolshevism are indistinguishable—both of them are terrors which must be ended. “The Lenin and Trotsky regime de- pends entirely on bayonets for its maintenance. With the aid of their Tittish.

No Allled Intrigue. wrhe soviet claims that the present riaings are due to allied intrigue are entirely unfounded. Allied aid to the anti-soviet forces ended with the col- lapse of Gen. Wrangel, the command- er in southern Russia. The success of the present movement depends Jargely on non-interference from the outside world. Russia must be left alone.” BACK RUSS WORKERS. Prench Dissident Socialists Encour- age Fight on Bolsheviki. PARIS, March 12.—Resolutions ex- pressing the sympathy of the French dissident socialist party for Russian workers who are struggling against the bolshevik regime were adopted at a meeting of the central committee of the organization here last night. “The terrorism and dictatorship now obtaining in Russia under the bol- <heviki" the resolutions declared, “would lead the working class into slavery and threaten the liberty of peoples.” H —_— i $6,000,000 IN SILK BURNS. Big Warehouses, With Stored -Co- coons Are Destroyed at Shanghai. Ty the Associated Press. SHANGHAIL March 11.—Several silk warchouses, containing over half of the amount of silk available for ex- port in this city. were burned here today. the loss being estimated at $6.- 000,000. Seven other warehouses took fire, and are sull burning. Should their loss be complete, the damage will reach $10.000,000, it is estimated. The destruction of silk cocoons stored in the warehouses will enforce the closing of most of the spinning (stablishments here until the new crop in May. Cancellation of many contracts for silk is considered in- evitable. SILK FLAG FOR ACADEMY. PARIS, March 11.—The French acad- emy has received a silk flag. which is & combination of the American and French colors. from the national com- mittee for American gifts to France. A message of thanks for the election of Is Foch and Joffre as members of the academy accompanied the gift. l Jast Pablished ' Christ’s Offspring or Spiritual Geaeration "FORCING RUSSIANS [Sunday School Lesson | THE LORD'S SUPPER—Mat- | thew, 26.14-30. | . ol i | thy house with my disciples.” The eat e brewd amd oD 35 Ye | | carefully selected password spoke of cup. ye iproclaim the ‘Lord's | |SNIISUS) coming trageey, but it e death till 'He come-I Corin. | |doubtful if the aposties understood thians, 11.26. | 1t opened for them the choicest room in the home, for the unnamed friend gave them his upper room. where they made ready the passover.

Another supper with His friends, Wwhich was the last one that Jesus en- joyed with His apostles, demands our consideration this week. 1In last week's study. we saw how Matthew had introduced out of its chronolog- ical order the feast in Bethany so that he could present the motive for the infamy of Judas. Having been mif- fed by Mary’s annointing and Christ's commendation of her act. the treas- urer of the apostolic band. filled with his sordid and selfiSh desires, was in- fuenced by Satan to agree with the eccleslastic conspirators to betray Je- sus to them. While the Master had an enemy among His disciples ready for the price of a slave to deliver the Lord over to His enemies, Christ also had a friend among His enemies ready to serve Him. It may have been the foreknowledge which Jesus possessed of treachery within His ranks that caused Him to make the secret ar- fangement with His unknown friend e ervance v i His friend's house, | \"¢ Passover at When the disciples inquired where they should prepare to eat the pass- over the loyalty and love of the good man of the house was revealed, al- though they did not know who he was. any more than we do now, or where the home was located in Jeru- salem that was to be placed at the Master's disposal, when they started They had wor- to complete the needed arrange-|S7id to “that handful of Jewi<h peas- ments TAlthough Chrite had hocs| ants s I anpoint unto vou a kingdom 197 % and vo shall sit on thrones suspected, maligned and persecuted by the religious and political leader: during the week there w one man in the capital city { indgine the twalve trihes of Tsroel' He also nsgursd them the® thev would share fhe glories nf His Father's { heavenly home with Him. in His mes- st not afraid to stand up iea that hrou o oo the ught comfort fo them Niccodemus and Joseph of Arima-|and all who go down into the dark thea, can be classed with Lazas|vallay.

It is one of the bitterest ironies of Christian history that the farewell supper of Jesus with the twelve, | which revealed and ought mlways re- icall His divine love and beautiful fellowship. should have become the { source and subject of the most bit- iter and uncharitable discussions, as {well as of vindictive persecutions. ! When men seek to find hidden and { mysterious meanings in the simple words that the Lord used, when He took some remnant of the unleavened bread and the cup, which they had | used, and proceeded to institute a | new ordinance, they are apt to fail 1to recognize that His supreme pur- pose was to unite, and not divide, the Christians of the coming cen- !turies. At no time in Hia earthly career dig Jesus appear more human than when He said “this do in re- membrance of Me." as He called them to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. While there are many meanings to the supper, the commemorative element, that calls for His remem- brance, is one of the leading ones. Carrying over from the passover into Christianity the spirit and inner 8ig- nificance of the great Hebrew feast, it teaches essentlally the same great lesson. One cannot think long upon the Lord’s supper without realizing that in the mind of Jesus His own death had a central and necessary place in the establishment of His kingdom. His body is to be broken: His blood is to be poured out. Paul. in his report of the establishment of the new ordinance, declared that it was to be observed to “proclaim the Lord's death till He come.” His glving of thanks before partak- ing of the bread and wine has given the Lord's supper the name of eucharist, which comes from the Greek word meaning to give thanks. as all Christians ought to do when they come to partake of the same. be- cause the Lord has conquered death and opened the kingdom through His sacrifice, which it commemorates to all believers. It has been called a sacrament, as it Is a sublime vow of consecration to the service of the Lord.
