RED CROSS Scatters victims of Disease Along Railroad Line In Siberia Amer icans Save the Survivors at Razdolne. Toklo. For the second time word comes out of .Siberia of n "denth train" traversing the 4,000 miles of railroad between the Ural front nnd tho Pa cific, shunted on from station to sta- tlon, with help denied until word at It reached the American Red Cross. In the spring a train loaded with ty phus victims distributed Its dend across the land. Tho latest denth train carried In addition to the typhus the drended spotted fever nnd cholcrn. Word of tho presence of this train on the main lino between Irkutsk nnd Vladivostok reached American Red Cross headquarters In tho latter city a few weeks ago, nnd preparations wcro stnrted Immediately to succor what survivors there might be of the cnllous cruelty these stricken soldiers of tho Kolchnk anny had been sub Jectcd to. Major Itlley Allen, exoctl tlvo secretary of the American Red Cross In Siberia, who Is only Just re covered from nu nttack of typhus him self, organized n hospital train to meet tho denth train, going out with It. Dr Rakltln, of the staff of the American Red Cross hospital at Russian Island, who has also been laid low with ty phhs, accompanied Major Allen, with nurses nnd aids. Doctor Dies on Train. Tho death train, they had last heard, was nt NIkolsk on August 27, whero the Russian authorities had simply pnsscd It on, as nil other Russian of flclals had dono nt every station for weeks. Just before the train reached NIkolsk tho doctor aboard It had died of cholera. Seven of tho 150 sick who had survived to reach NIkolsk died me next nay. xneir Domes were dumped out of tho moving trnln by wrecks of men who had not the strength to dig graves, oven If they might hnvo had the Inclination. As things wero going It was only a mat ter of tlmo until their own festering bodies, crawling with typhus lice nnd foul with living for weeks In un cleaned box enrs, would bo rolled out ofj tho side door to .become n center of mrecuon ror uio countryside. Tho Red Cross trnln caught up to tho death train at Razdolne, whero It lay on a siding near a barracks In wmcn Amencnn troops wero quar tered.

Walters In soven or eight of tho largest cafes on the Paris boule vards havo been stirred to angry pro test by orders to shave their mus taches or quit Ono of tho bitterest grievances tho waiters had when they went on strlko Inst April was tho edict of the em ployers to tho effect thnt waiters must sacrifice their mustaches.

Until these American soldiers, In n moro or less rough nnd Ignorant wny, ofTored some help, tho patients In tho death train hnd received nothing from the troops they hnd met except alarmed orders from commanders to be on their wny. Before reaching tho death train the Red Cross olllclnls hnd made arrange ments to bring tho typhus nnd cholera patients to tho Russian hospltnl at NIkolsk, which had been fitted up by tho Intcr-Allled sanitary committee, nnd permission had been obtained from Colonel Lewis, of tho American nrmy, to use the Intor-allled wards of this Institution. Rut tho Russian rail road authorities at NIkolsk proved to bo like the hundreds of others along the line and refused to permit the death train to bo brought there, and tho Russlnn military commnnd refused to permit the patients to be brought Into, tho town under any circum stances. Neither would the Russian military authorities nt Rnzdolne per mit the sick to be removed from their fllthy box cars to any building In tho town. Finally, after long parleying with Vladivostok, permission was given to house the sick nt NIkolsk on condition that they bo cleansed first WONDERING PILG Plymouth, Mass. With tho three hundredth anniversary of the landing of tho Pilgrim Fnthers llttlo more than n year away, Plymouth Is cogi tating eagerly and blindly as to wheth er "the tercentenary celebration" of tho grent event Is going to be held In Plymouth or In Provlncetown, on the tip of, Capo Cod, where the first land fall of the storm-tossed passengers of tho Mayllowers really took place, or If tho celebration can be divided, giv ing each town part of the glory and Incidentally of the Incrensed trade and custom that will result. It Is a fact Httje known to the peo ple of these United States and Ignored by most histories thnt Plymouth has for years been bnsklng unjustly In tho white light of fame ns the first landing place of the Pilgrim Fa thers. First Landed at Provlncetown. When the Mayflower sailed Into Ply mouth harbor It camo from Province town, 30 miles directly across Massa chusetts bay, where tho hundred hardy souls fleeing from religious per secution hnd already spent a month ashore, whero tho Pilgrim Mothers hnd dono a tremendous wnshlng after two months nt sea, with clenn linen nt a premium; where Dorothy Bradford, wlfo of Wllllnm Bradford, subsequent ly governor of Plymouth colony, had western Mexico coast, Is Inhabited by year they are starving, owing to lack "Tho waiters are sufficiently humil iated to hnve to earn their living by extending their hands to receive what ofton proves to be a ridiculous tip, without being forced to forego one of tho privileges of manhood," said tho secretary of the union.

Life and death rode a race In a police ambu lance here, nnd both won. John T. Wf'uer, taken suddenly 111, was being rushed to a hospital when the nmbulnnce was stop ped by nn emergency call to tnko Mrs. J. Rogan to tho same Institution. Weber died before the hos pltnl wns reached nnd Mrs. Rogan gnvo birth to n child. nnd brought there In sterilized nnd snnltnry clothing. The Red Cross report showed that there hnd been fifty denths nbonrd the train between tho time It hnd left Perni nnd tho time tho rescuers renched It nt Rnzdolne. living refused help In till directions, the Red Cross workers did the onlj thing possible. They ran the death trnln out on the prnlrlc nnd extern porizetl a field hospltnl. One by on tho living skeletons were taken frorr their train, their clothing stripped oil and burned mid the men given a scouring bath and then placed nboard the Red Cross train. The effect of the clean clothes, the kindnesses, In such contrast to whnt they had previously undergone, nnd the hope finally held out for recovery was almost miraculous. OVER been drowned by falling from a boat In the bay. and where most note worthy fact of all had been written nnd signed In the cabin of the May flower what Is known to tho world ns tho first purely democratic govern ment over produced, the Mayflower compact guaranteeing to dwellers un der the Pilgrim government equal rights of living nnd being, no matter what their standing may have been In tho past or what It might be In tho future. The compact was signed on November 11, 1020, Just 209 years to a day before the date of the sign ing of another great democratic doc trine, the armistice of the world wnr to make the world safe for democ racy. History tells us that the date of the landing of the Pilgrims nt Provlncetown nnd the date of the compact is November 21. The dlscrep- nncy. Is due to the ten days' difference between old style time nnd new style time. It wns Just one month Inter, December 11, old style, or December 21, new style, that the Mayflower poked her nose around Duxbury Point nnd headed for tho shore. Tho tercentenary celebration must bo held In Plymouth, say the adher ents of the mainland towns because besides being the historically ac curate place whero the Pilgrims fought their fight against annihilation and destruction, It Is more easily ac cessible and all around better suited In every way. It has more to show the visitors to the celebration, nnd has a bigger reputation to draw them to It. "The celebration must 'jc held In Provlncetown," say the dwellers In the Cape Cod claimant to the honor, "because this Is the true landing place of the Pilgrim Fnthers. Here they terminated the terrible wintry voyage and were able to get fresh water and fresh food at tho end of the trip; here they signed the conn pact under which they governed the colony; It wns from the hill on which now stnnds the Pilgrims' Memorial monument, that they first saw the mnlnlnnd, nnd it wns here they spent a month of recuperation before press ing ahead to the West. And wo have the monument to prove our claim. Whether tho celebration will beheld here In Plymouth or In Provlncetown, or whether It will he held nt all, are still moot questions, and perhaps the latter possibility Is the best solu tion of the problem. There Is still n yonr to decide, and some wny may be found of nvertlng bloodshed In the ar gument between the two disputants for final honors In the "Pilgrim Arrival Stakes." nn Indignity nnd diminishes the mor ale, value and patriotism of the per sonnel of the cafes."

EPSOM SALTS FOR CHICKENS Many Digestive Troubles May Be Overcome by Purging or Cleans ing the Intestines. A great many chickens suffer from Indigestion or digestive troubles, which may bo due to improper feeding or some method of management. It has been found that many of these conditions may be overcome by purg ing or cleansing the Intestines through some means of a laxative. One of the cheapest and easiest handled laxa tives is epsom ealts. which can be pur chased nt any drug store. For ma ture fowls tho dosage is one-half tea spoonful per bird though if the case Is minor, one-third tenspoonful may be sufficient. An easy and effective way of administering this is to mix it with n dry mnsh of bran and shorts, using the above proportions and aft erwards moistening it with water. CURE FOR POULTRY DISEASES Use of Vaccine Has Considerable Value In Correcting Ailments, Saye Professor Lewis. Prof. Harry It. Lewis of New Jersey college before recent meeting at tho Connecticut station said the use o.f vaccine In the cure of poultry dis eases has considerable value. Profes sor Lewis told of trying out a vncclne on hens nflllctcd with chicken pox and roun nnd the successful results. He believes that other diseases niny be treated by the vaccine plan. Tho next I step at tho New Jersey station will bo an eiiort to immunize puiiets ngnlnst chicken pox or roup by vac cinating while young nnd before they have been exposed to the disease. Watch your flock carefully and ns Boon as one member shows dltvuse remove it. It Is easy to keep your hens healthy if you know the Inws of health and practice them. Closo confinement without exercise is not conduclvo to the best results In tho poultry yard. Geese are uot like hens. Old geeso lay better than young geeso nnd old ganders aro better than young ones.
