GERMANS DRINK RIVER WATER
And As a Result There is an Epidem
ic of Typhoid
.Asheville, Aug. 10. It became
known yesterday that there are many
cases of typhoid fever among the in
terned Germans at Hot Springs al
though the government medicalo f
ficers stated that they have the epi
demic under control, and that the
cause has been traced to the fact
that some of the Germans drank
French Broad river water. This wa
ter was not intended or provided pro
vided for drinking purposes and the'
entire sanitary system at the camp is
said tobe perfect. With the cause
located and a llcases isolated inside
the wire fences of the stockade there
is no alarm either in the town of Hot
Springs or elsewhere near the camp.
Hat Springs is 40 miles from Ashe
ville. The epidemic has delayed the
movement of the Teutons to other
camps. Mo official statement on the
situation was made yesterday.
There are still about 2,000 Ger
mans at the camp and it is said that
there are 100 cases of f ever. These
figures could not be confirmed, how
ever, and it Is believed in Asheville
that the number of typhoid cases is
much less.

Bavarians Filled With Gloom
Facing Serious Food Stress.
London, Aug. 9. The Chronicle's
Zurich correspondent reports that
the Bavaria papers, commenting on
the statements made to Minister
Breittreich upon the. food and eco
nomic situation, declare that the
outlook for the near future is very
gloomy.
Thus, the Munchner Neueste
Nachrichten, after citing the official
regarding the food rations and the
proposed meatless weeks, adds that
the accounts and figures will not con
ceal the actual misery, and show
that the government is not able to
prevent a breakdown of the provis
ioning system in Germany, the harv
est situation being worse than in
1917, and the hopes based upon
Russia, the Ukraine, and Rumania
not being realizable.
Referring to the statements by
Minister of War Helnlngrath about
the rumors current throughout the
German Empire tending to destroy
public confidence, the government
Journals declare that these stories
are not disseminated by enemies of
the empire, but are born of the ter
rible situation of the suffering peo
ple, who peek an explanation of
these endless misfortunes.
A GOOD LETTER
The following letter from Edgar
Brantley, son of Dr. and Mrs. C. h.
Brantley of Bailey will be read with
interest here:
Dearest Mother, Dad and All: I
am liking everything fine and I am
Just as much contented as any boy
could be considering everything by
being such a distance from you and
of course I must include my girl, bui
there are times for all things etc.
I would like to tell you about my

I were to do such a thing as that I
Washington, Aug. 9 Upon his
return to Washington yesterday from
Kansas City Secretary of War Baker
revealed the fact that the purpose of
hia. sudden Journey half way across
the continent was to confer with Ma
jor Gen. William S. Graves, who is to
command the American expedition
to Siberia, regarding plans for the
expedition.
"I went West," said the Secretary,
"to confer with General Graves. Gen
eral March announced to you yes
terday that he was going to head
the force to Vladivostok, and I had
him meet me in Kansas City so that
we might have a conference."
General Graves came from Camp
Fremont, California, where he com
mands the 8 th Division, to Kansas
City for the conference with the Sec
retary of war, In which the latter
delivered to horn oral instructions
from President Wilson fully expla
natory o fthe scope, aims and pur
poses of the Government in the dis
patch of this expedition.
The War Department is not yet
ready to say anything regarding the
size of the force to be sent to Vladi
vostok, except that it will be a
small force. It is understood that
the force to be sent by this country
will not be above 10,000 men. They
wil ljoin with the Japanese forces in
making it a Joint expedition.
Ranking' General to be Japanese.
As was intimated a few days vj o
might be the case, Secretary Baker
toda yindicated that the ranking of
ficer would be a Japanese general.
"I suppose the ranking officer
would be the Japanese general," said
Secretary Baker. "I understand
they are going to send a Lieutenant
General, and we are sending a Ma
jor General, and undoubtedly the of
ficer of the highest rank will pre
side at any conferences.
"Whether there will be any more
definite commander in chief I do not
know. I infer from the President's
statement that the size o fthe Japa
nese force will be approximately the
same as our own."
The War Department, for military
reasons, does not care to have the
exact size of the expedition, or the
date of the departure, or its move
ments disclosed.
Archangel is understood to have
been selected by the Entente and
American diplomatic envoys in Rus
sia as their headquarters. The State
Department was advised by Ambas
sador Francis today that he had left
Murmansk for Kandalaska. It is
assumed he is on his way to Arch,
angel.
Murmansk is isolated at present.
Although connected by railway with
Petrograd, the communications are
such that there is now no traveling
on that road. Archangel is the
centre of activity In the extreme
northern regions of, Russia, and
since it soccupation by allied forces
and the consequent expulsion of the
Bolshevist authorities that city will
become immediately the political
centre In European Russia of pro
Ally Russians of every political
party.
