JUVENILE MALADY
AMONG REFUGEES FROM RUSSIA [United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.] BERLIN, Jan. 3. A mysterious epidemic has broken out amongst fifteen hundred of the children of the Mennonites, who came to Germany as refugees from Russia, where they were settled on the land, being the descendants of original German colonies of peasants. The Mennonites are encamped at Hammerstein, in Pomerania. The disease, which at first was thought to be measles, turns out to lie a kind of fever, which leads to death a few hours after the first appearance of symptoms. Forty of the children are already dead and the doctors are baffled by the malady, which apparently does not attack adults.
