MALARIA WAVE ALARMS LEAGUE OF NATIONS Epidemic in Southeastern Europe Taken Up by International Steff; Quinine Is Scarce. By the Amsociated Press.

Ac- l'cording to the Greek miuistry of | health, there are 2,000,000 people in Greece, or about a third of the total population, who are suffering from malaria, The latest report from the sanitary | council of Persia. which calls atten- tion to the appalling conditions of | the country. is of special interna- | tlonal importance because of the |large number of pilgrim routes | which cross the country.

Yet, be- cause of the piace held in legend and Listory by the old wmetropelis of the Phoeniei: there are no others more striking Almost everg one knows how time and men have acted |against the unhappy city during the | churse of the ages. Two c ago Lady Montaign, visiting the spot where Carthage was built, wrote in a melancholy letter to a friend that | there were only marshes before her Nowadays that would not be cuse, owing to the many efforts in| the last forty vears to bring to thel light whut still remains of the ruins | of Carthage. Those that have been | discovered are rhly worth vie & Many Valuable Discovertes. Among them are the ruins of the palace of Hamilcar, father of Hannibal; a temple thousht to have been the sanctuary of the famous goddess Tanit. where bones of children sacrificed to Raal have bsen found in many urns. Here are also the ruine of a Christian | church where St. Monica. mother L!" St Augustine, often praved for the onversion of ber son to the new relig- ion: the fountain of the “thousand am- phorae.” whose wuters continue to flow under a tunnel; the Roman villa of Odeon ; an amphitheater the ground of which was sprinkled with the blond of Christian martyrs, and the hill of | Juno with its numerous fragments of columns: The excavations are continuing. Last November through the efforts of the “Service des .ntiquites” df Tunis, sev- eral important discoveries wers made. At first, excavations on the famous hili | of Byrsa led to the discovery of a su- | perh mosaic which is said to be a mar- ‘¢l, representing presonages and marine subjects. Large frescoes in very goc ndition have been found close to th ae of Antonius with a dozen larg: vaults. There is also a curious . with writing similar to that seen | the well known stele of the Moab | Mesha. discoveries indicate that numerous other marvels still under the surface where former- |1y rose the city founded by Dido. A ung American archeologist, Byron Khun, at the head of an American archeological mission, is endeavoring to pluck away part of the secrets.

In some cases, bones were broken and there were indications the victims had been crushed in great heaps of floating debris. One body was found in a field, caught ia & barbed- wire fence. Dozens of narrow escapes from death or serious injury were related by those who escaped from the stormswept area. Heads of families with their children in tow breasted the current and fought their way to safety. Mothers shieided their babibes in their arms and plunged into the muddy weter and battled their way to refuge. In many cases, after they had made their way to safety, the refugees were forced to stand heipless and watch their homes and everything they possessed were -destroyed By the water. | | ! | { | | | | | He HE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
