CHOLERA INCREASES IN CHINA

Troop Movements Blamed for Worst Condition In Twenty Years, Says Professor Dye. _______ ' New York.—As a result of the frequent movements of Chinese troops in Szechuan province, West China, cholera has spread more extensively recently than In the last 20 years. This Is the opinion of Prof. Daniel S. Dye of West China ttalon university, expressed in a letter to Rev. W. :R. Taylor, a representative of the American Baptist Foreign Mission society ip China, now on furlough here. The disease has caused great ravages in Tungchwan, Chungking and Chengtu, as well as many of the smaller villages. Americans and Europeans are virtually immune, Professor Dye said, due largely to precautions in preparation of food and in the matter of hygiene.
