Siberia, according to information from
the League of Nations.
It has been estimated that 100,000
former prisoners of war remain to bp

Far East.

MEDICINE NEEDED
NISH, SERBIA, Nov., 8— Sanita
toin and preventive medicine are the
greatest needs of Serbia today. With
the approach of cold weather, the
country will be called upon to com
bat her old enemy, typhus. Americans
and foreign relief organizations will
aid the Serbian authorities in this
work.
Human conservation is one of Ser
bia’s great problems. War and disease
have sadly depleted the population.
Before the war the birthrate of Ser
bia was higher than her death rate.
In spite of the inroads of epidemics,
her population was increasing at the
rate of 85,000 a year. Now it is de
creasing.Bereft of her man-power and
with her women and children organic
alll wasted , the question of population
to till the soil and to build up the
counrty is a most serious one.
Another pressing problem facing
the country is the immense number of
orphans. In old Serbia there are 60,
000 full orphans and 300,000 half
orphans. Only 5,000 of these are cared
for in orphanages supported by the
government or foreign relief agencies.
The rest are placed in private homes,
where they are not always welcome
guests on account of the scaricity of
food and the other necessaries of life.
