Such conditions naturally predisposed the men to infection, and it was actually rried by the lice with which they swarined:

The epidemic of typhus broke out in December, 1914, and the German staff, military and medical, precipitately fled front the camp. From that date until the month of August, 1815, so communi cation was held between the prisoners and their guards except by means of directions shouted from the guards or officers remaining outside the wire en Langlements.

A remarkable story of how, a Chinese- died while leaning against a wall is told by one of the Police Reserve. The officer was patrolling Kennedy Town and,anwa man leaning against a wall, but did not regard the incident as usual. Two hours later le observed that the man was. in the same attitude and proceeded to nake investigations. He touched the man- and found the body was cold and rigid, The man had died while in this posture.

Mr. A. P. Miller, a native of Hang- kong, and son of Mr. £. E.
