10 THE ENEMY'
Repeated Violations of Usages
of Warfare Are Enumerated.
A despatch front Petrograd says
The Russian Foreign Office has trans-
mitted to the Governments of Ger-
many, Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey a
lengthy protest against alleged viola-
tions of usages of warfare, attaehing
citations of numerous specified in-
stances, and asserting the right to re-
taliate in kind. The violations enum-
erated were compiled by a special com-
mittee appointed for that purpose.
Each citation, it is stated, was amply
verified. The abuses charged include

Only 167 cases Reported in
Dominion During the

A, despatch from Ottawa says: -
The Department of Militia and De-

amongst the, ninny thousands of men
of the C.E.P. in Canada, and this,
notwithstanding the fact that typhoid
fvver is. a disease espeeialiy affect-
ing' young ndults from seventeen to
thirty years of age, and a dia-easo
which is endemic in all parts of Cm-
.
ada.
This comparative freedom on the
r,art of the C.E.F. is seen to be most
t;tziking when it is recalled that dur-
ing the Boer War one man out of "
cvery nine in the forces in
euth Afrka WaS invalided through
this disease, and that in the Spanish-
Amefiean war, of 107,000 men in the
camps at Tampa, Florida. and else-
where ',‘7110 had not left the shores of
the er S e 0
the disease. The remarkable change
can only be attributed to the process
of maculation.
The Provincial Board of Health for
Ontario has supplied to dais; all the
