americans ARE MARTYRS id plague fight duty Fourteen Red Cross Doctors and Nurses Sent to Servia Contract Dreaded Typhus. ENTiRE COUNTRY AFFECTED 450 Die in Day in Nish, Says Returning Doctor, Recounting Awful Conditions. New York, April 11.— Of the contingent of six doctors and 12 nurses sent to Servia by the American Red Cross Society since the European war began, all but foul' have contracted typhus, the disease they were combatting, accordjug to Dr. M. P. Lane, of Nexv Orleans, a Red Cross doctor who arrived today , on the steamship Finland, from Mediterranean ports. Dr. Lane was accompanied by two Red Cross nurses. Miss Margaret Tulloss and Miss Clare Sensi) er, both of Kansas City. They were ordered by Dr. Ernest P. Mag-ruder, head of the Servian contingent, who has since died, to recuperate after they had themselves been confined to hospitals, victims of the scourge. "It is impossible to convey in words the condition of Servia," said Dr. Lane. "When we arrived we found the country in the grip of an epidemic of recurrent fever, with a high percentage of fatality. Following the recurrent fever came the sconrge of typhus, brought into Servia evidently by Austrian prisoners. The local physiciansreinforced by medical attaches of the various missionary societies, were utterly unable to combat the disease, and in an almost incredibly short length of time it spread through the entire conntry. 450 Die in Nish in Day. "Deaths were, so numerous it was Lard to find means to dispose of the bodies, cremation being the only solution of the problem. In one day during the second week in February tbere were 450 deaths reported from typhus in the city of Nish alone. Over the entire country it is safe to say that not less than two out of every 100 people, including Servians and prisoners of war, have died, and the death rate is rapidlyincreasing. It will require strenuous efforts to meet the contingency and successfully combat it. Surgeons are not needed as badly as are trained nurses who are willing to work. Sterilizing apparatus and disinfectants are imperative. It is almost impossible to obtain - — pare water for drinking purposes, -and the disease is being spread through tilth and vermin. "When we left Servia Dr. Magruder was well, and the news of his death first reached me today. As he bid us good-bye, he told me that he had just received word that Dr. Ethan Butler had been stricken and was in tlie hospital." Rev. N. D. MeClanahan, of Omaha, Neb., a missionary of the United Presbyterian Church at Cairo, Egypt, also was a passenger on the Finland, acornpanied by his wife and daughter. They have been in Egypt six years. Rev. MeClanahan said that missionaries and foreigners in Egypt felt no alarm whatever over war conditions. The Government had matters under full control, be 6aid. and every protection war being accorded. Turks Respect American Flag. Commander Edward McCauley, U. S. N., naval attache to the American Embassy at Constantinople, and recently in command of the gunboat Scorpion, on duty in Turkish waters, was on the Finland. He said he turned over his command to Lieutenant Commander W. F. Bricker, March 17, Lieutenant Brieker afterward being drowned by the overturning of his cutter. Commander McCauley said that when he left Turkey no apprehension was apparent la Constantinople as to possible danger to foreigners. Ambassador Morgeutbau and the American flag were highly respected, he said, aid aside from the allied fleets attempt)!? to force the Dardanelles, matters wore no different than they bare been since the war started. A company of 35 opera singers, among whom were Titta Ruffo, baritone; Juanita Capclln, sopvano, and Conductor Tullio Serafinu. recently organized in Italy by Salvator de I'asqiiuli, were on the to upon the National Theatre. Officers of the Finland said that nohestile warships or submarines were sighted during the voyage. From the time they left Gibraltar until they arrived here they were in almost constant ship of the allied fleet. Allies Aid in Plague Fight. Nisi), April 11.— The British and French Governments are sending large numbers of military surgeons into Servia to fight the epidemic of typhus. Thirty English surgeons have arrived Fifty French physicians arrived yesterday and 5(1 more are expected shortly, as well as a party sent by the Rockefeller Foundation. 1 "John," she said, as he settled down for his after-dinner smoke, "I've got a lot of things I want to talk to you , about" "Good," said her husband affably; "I'm glad to hear it.

GRAPE JUICE PUNCH A delicious punch for serving at the afternoon bridge club has for Its foundation the wholesome and pleasant grape juice, which has been rather unfortunately ridiculed this year because of its favor in high political circles. Most people relish grape jttice as a flavoring, but many dislike the drink unless much diluted and disguised with various other flavors. Grape Juice punch for the afternon bridge Is made as follows: Add two pints of grape juice to two quarts of lemonade. Cut up four orangeE, two lemons, one pineapple and add to the mixture. If strawberries are obtainable, serve one or two in each glass of the punch. If they are not obtainable, a maraschino j cherry ipay be dropped in each glass. 1 Make tlfe foundation lemonade rather j tart, but.

It requires full basques at the hips successfully, and those of medium fullness are less. exaggerated and more becoming. In many cases the waistline Is allowed to dip lower at the back than has: been seen for some long time past, the alternative being a very high belt— anything, in short, but the true centre waistline.

Braid buttons and strappings. are so much seen at present that a few words on the newest varieties cannot come amiss. The perfectly plain military braid is giving way to fancy varieties, plaited in different patterns, knotted with designs in one color. The combination of a broad braid in black or dark blue, brown or green, with a narrow braid and edging in brighter colors is „a favorite mode of decoration for the new braided coats.
