WAVE OF DISEASE.
THREATENING ALL EUROPE. THE OHIGIN IN RUSSIA. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Jan. 23, 1.10 am. London, Jan. 19. The Warsaw correspondent of the Times states the latest military medical information is that a tremendous wave of disease is sweeping westward from Russia, threatening the whole of Europe. Russia is honeycombed with all sorts of infectious diseases. A doctor returned from Smolensk States that official Bolshevik statistics, which are probably incomplete, show 1,350,000 cases of typhus during the six months ending March, 1919. It is estimated the following six months will show a fifty per cent increase. Typhus is raging in the Ukraine armies, which, it is believed, explains Denikin's failure west of the Dneiper, when Pelluma's army disbanded and 30,000 drifted through the Polish lines. Sixty per cent of them were infected with Russian smallpox, which is also spreading westward.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
