LONDON. March IS An appall

related today by Ernet Blcknell and
Henry James, jr., of the wr relief
committee of the Rockefeller Foun
dation, on their return to London
after a tour of Inspection through
that country. They said that sev

Typhus, the most deadly of these,
Already has caused the death of sixty
out of 400 native doctors of the
country. The foreign Red Cross
units have suffered great losses. Two
American units and one British have
"been compelled to suspend their reg

American nurses and two physicians
have contracted the disease.

needed badly but unleaa they are fully

will be unwise to go to Bertie since they

Turks of Smyrna
Threaten Massacre
LON1XJN. March J.-The text of an
alleged proclametlon Issued at Smyrna
by Rahmy Bey, the Turkish governor,
threatening to massacre the foreign resi
dents of the city Is given by the Dally
Telegraph's Athens correspondent aa fol
lows: ,
"By the grace of the Almighty, the
enomy'e attacks will coat dearly. A
defence equal to that made by the forts
and more terrible will be organized
against the. enemy within the town.
"The town will be painted from end to
end ' with, the blood of the enemy, who
will gee his attempts brought to nought.
The transformation of the town Into a
battlefield will b worthy the grandeur of
Ottoman history."
Ths proclamation was not taken asr.
loualy by the foreign residents, the cor
respondent adds. Although the English
residents were put under seml-survelllancc
at the club house, their rotations with th.
Turkish were friendly and the govern
ment members actually took tea at the
club house and provided a musical enter
tainment for the English while the firing
was in progress.

LOXDON, March 19.-Evldence Is ac
cumulating of the heavy British losses In
the recent fighting In Flanders. .Lord
Claud Hamilton, addressing a meeting in
London last night said that the papera
were not giving full lists of the losses. Ills
own regiment, the Grenadier Guards, he
declared, lost their colonel and sixteen
officers killed and wounded and of 1.100
men, the finest In the army, only 300 sur
vived. The Cameronlans also seemed to have
been almost totally wiped out. Their lists
of killed and wounded were appalling.
' The system of concealment on the part
of the military authorities, ho asserted,
was must ridiculous and ha was afraid it
would have the effect of prolonging the
war.
