Almost every night of the three months campaign has been spent by hini aboard the car hurrying from one end of Serbia to the other in the fight against the deadly plague. "The typhus epidemic in Serbia," stated Dr. Strong, "began last January in the vicinity of Vallievo, following the Austrian invasion of the month be fore, and spread with such rapidity that it became the' greatest epidemic of that disease recorded in modern medical an nals. Tho epidemic reached its height in the middle of April just as the American mission arrived. New cases thea numbered 8,500 daily, but it must be rcmeraberod that these were tho figures only of the victims who came to the military hospitals. Serbia had not been ablo even to keep statistics the victims among the civil population and so the above figures give, as a mat ter of fact, no accurate idea of the ex tent of the epidemic. Deaths Numbered 100,000. "In fact, few figures of any kind are to be had, but presumably the total deaths from the epidemic have been about 100,000 and the number of vic tims down with the disease at the time we took charge was very likely of equal magnitude. "As such an epidemic of typhus never before had occurred in the history of modern medicine I freely confess that it was with no little concern we. first arrived here. A quick survey of the situation convinced me, however, that with effective organization the plague could be wiped out and in four months. I am still confident that when the four months are entirely past, the Inst or the 000 cases still remaining will have disappeared. "Following tho preliminary organiza tion of a national sanitary board, something Serbia had not had, and the division of the country into sanitary districts, we at once went after the practical end of the work namely the chasinir down and extermination of the louse from whose bite alone the disease ig transmitted. 'As tho quickest means of reaching the greatest number of the Btricken population in the shortest possible time, we had two refrigerator cars placed at our disposal. In ono of these was in stalled an apparatus for the disinfect ing of clothing by heavy steam pres sure and its immediate drying after wards. In the second car was fitted the necessary appliances for a disinfect ing bath of' the victims. Disinfecting By Wholesale.

"Our average speed was .100 to 000 cases a day and in the three und a half months we have had the cars in opera tion wo figure that a total of not less than (100,000 persons have been reached in this manner. ' "Unfortunately, railway communicn tion in HTbia is very limited and the; reaching of tho population in me in- tj, drustie measures toj, insure terior presented a different problem, I ,.,,' piring cun mnintnin a uni Indiviilunl sanitnry missions were there-1 f(irniy j,, ( mi 1 it v, which is more fore sent to each important town travel- ()PHjrnble this year than ever beforo. ing in military automobiles or carriages,) ' and frequently having their supplies v,.rv few, if i nV pickers, have been norrie,! in ox carts.

The oignn ism discovered by Dr 1'lotz at Alt. Sinai ihospital, New York, has not yet been found here by u, but with the aid of cultures which he hns placed at our disposition complete success may yet crown this end of tbj Work. It is being actively pushed by .Dr. Zinsser of Colum bia and Dr. 'ielhtds of llavord. "One of tho oioi: happy features of the. whole work wns the ninnner in which we oursoivjg, ui'tor the loiriljle experiences of the Serbian an.! Amer ican Red Cross units, kept frcu fioin the disease. Not oue of the ill men com prising our mission foil k victim. But naturally we had at our disposition all of tho ' latest possible preventatives. Every doctor assigned to hard work amongst the victoms woro a vermin proof suit, rubber gloves and adhesive bands above the wrists and ankles. We have not been able to demonstrate that the disease is contagious and in fact there seems no. reason to believe Unit it is' transmitted otherwise than by the bite of infected vermin. , Check In Montenegro. "In Montenegro we were most fortu nate in being nblo to check the epidemic before it could becomo general. Dr. Grinnell of Harvard, who was assigned to that territory, arrived when the disease had only gut into the towns. These were quickly quarantined and the plague stamped nut at once. "Thus by the middle of August I think I will bo ablo to guarantee that typhus will be a thing of the pnst m Serbia. Not only that, but we would be greatly disappointed if it ever came again. But still even in this hitter case, Serbia now has at its disposition all of the facilities necessary for speedily combatting any outbreak. "Naturally our success was only pos sible through the most hearty co-oper ation of every man composing tho mis sion, and this has been one of the two bright spots of the entire task. There was not a man wno ever shirked or even objected to uny task assigned him no matter how disagreeable or even how dangerous it might be. . "The other bright spot which stands out most vividly was tho unfailing kind ness of Sir Thomas Lipton to tho mem bers of tlie mission.
