THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN. PORTLAND. NOVE3IBER 16. 1919. GALICIA SWEPT BY Red Cross Reports Hundreds Are Stricken. i ivy i . MEDICAL AID LACKING Country Said to Be Without Hos pital Necessities Following Five Years ol War. L E M B E R G, Nov. 8. Galicia has been swept within a few weeks by a new wave of typhus which reached grreater proportions than ever before at this time of the year, say Red Cross reports. Hundreds of people have been stricken and died without medical attention in villages that could not be reached by doctors. After more than five years of con tinued warringr. the country is almost without the elemental hospital neces sities. It has been the battleground f one army after another and the gone for changing? forces of occupa tion. Large areas are burned away. The best equipped hospitals have been completely ruined and pillaged. According to Lieutenant - Colonel Halban, chief sanitarian of the Polish government for the Galician front, the typhus situation eclipses anything ever known in this land where typhus has always been more or less epi demic. With an unprecedented begin ning in the summer months, it is feared the winter will see it increase with even greater fury. The vermin which cautse typhus incubate and mul tiply in the cold season. The American Red Cross has estab lished a headquarters here. in re sponse to the appeals of the military and government authorities. Intense activity is already in progress for coping with the distressing condi tions. Requests for hospital supplies come Into the temporary headquarters from all sides. Centers have been selected for vitally needed hospitals, but there is such an utter lack of material lor eauiiimntr them that all efforts to cope with the situation have- failed The military and government authori ties are lending every possible aid in hastening the immediate distribution of the American, medical supplies in an attempt to check the disease before It gains too much headway.

Cremona develops great volume of sound, yet the gentlest love songs are perfectly played. The differ ence of tones is a mechanical superiority sound is produced by the vibration of WOOD instead of METAL. A Cremona phonograph as a Christmas gift brings many happy hours to the family. What adds more to the joyous Christmas day than good music? Go today, "Make the blindfold test," and let your ear convince you of the difference in tone. Select the model you want and, if it is preferable to you, let us hold it for you until the holidays. Production of air talking machines is much below normal this year, due to manufacturing and labor disturbances. -The makers of Cremona realize that it will be difficult for them to supply the demand at holiday time.- Do not wait until Christmas week to buy your Cremona.
