IN SERBIA TERRIBLE Grave Diggers Entirely Unable to Keep Up with Work of Bury- ing Victims UNBURIED BODIES IN CEMETERY NEW YORK, April 17 Typhus, typhoid and recurrent fever are epl demic in Serbia, emallpox and scarlet fever also are present in some con munities, and cholera is with the warmer weather of spring, according to a report made public today by the Rockefeller foundation war rellef commission, which has been investigating conditions in that stricken country. The Serbian government, the re port says, is absorbed in the conduct of war, and civil employes are too much occupled with the demands of military service to turn their -n-n-‘ tion to gathering statistics, but that estimates based on inadequate in-| formation place the number of ty-| phus cases in the country at from | 26,000 to 30,000. Busy with War, | ‘Serbia knows from experience the ter- | yor of these diseases,’ the report con- tinues, “but with all ita energies concen- trated on a war for its existence, with' its physicians and its men of strength | and prominence in the army, with its re- | sources exhausted and lacking adequate | leadership for the sanitary emergency. it can do little to save itself.” | The commission's observers found the | three epidemic diseases distributed thronghout the country in all communi- tles and In all the larger hospitals. “In Nish," the report says, “an Eng- tish physiclan said it was his belief that a hundred patients were dying of typhus dally. “One day during the visit of the com- mission it reported that the cemetory at Nish contained 20 unburied bodies of typhus victims, the foree of grave dig- Kers being entirely unable to keep up with the work, “In Belgrade in one hospital were 165 cases of typhus, with a larger number in several other hospital “In 8kopje, Dr. Barrle, an Englishman, estimated the number of typhus cases on February 4, at 2,00 All Are Involved. Valjevo, a town In that part of Ser- bia which was for a time held by the | Austrian army, is reported to be the most serious center of the epidemic of typhus, Bubstantially the entire civillan population there are invelved in the disease. . “Without medical care, with no direc- tion or resources for setting on foot | &anitary measures, remote and helpless, the population is being decimated, while the epidemic spreads in rapidly widen- | ing circles. Every community on the main lines of travel s In the clutches of typhus. “Into the mountain places and the vil- lagea distant from the rallroads, the discase is being carried by the mov- ing troops and bullock drivers and by expected the straw-lined darts, in which the sick and well are transported, it is sald to be in mpst of them already.” France Announces Germans Repulsed, LONDON, April 17.-Of the land fight- ing France asserts that three counter at- E ¥ the Germans on the mewly-won o position at Notre Dame de Lorette and a similar attack at Les Eparges falled, and that in the forest of Montmare thres German batterles were attorney who looks after tax matters sflenced and an smmunition depot blown up.
