EPIDEMIC THAT MUST BE STOPPED.

ALARMING FIGURES,

LONDON, September 7. The League of Nations, which points out that the sum of £10,000,000 required to fight typhus should read £2,000,000, has issued a statement sup porting Mr. Balfour's appeal, which shows that cases of typhus in Poland and Galicia which numbered 34,000 in 1915 are now estimated at 360,000. The statement dwells on the necessity of combatting the spread of the epidemic to the rest of the world in recalling that 300,000 persons died of typhus in Ireland 1846-8 and the heavy mortality in the Rotterdam outbreak last year.
