tackled by tho Epidemic
LONDON, Jan. Special There
is no abatement whatever in the cpl
demic of influenza which is sweeping
over England. On the contrary, the re-
ports received from hundreds of places
throughout the country show that the
disease continues to spread with in
creaslng virulence. Among persons
prominent in English society attacked
by the disease are Lord and Lady
Brooke, who are both Frustrated at
Warwick Castle, their residence in
Warwick. Lady Brooke il will be re-
called, is particular favorite Of the
Prince of Wales. The presentinfluenZa
epidemic, both in the United Kingdom
and on the continent, has been marked
by large number of ecclesiastical dig
nitarieis, claimed as it's victims. The
latest announcement of the death Of a
high eX-ecclesiastic was made this
morning. This last victim of infiu-
enza's ravages was Right Rev. William
kenez, ID. d., of the Church of Ireland,
Qrotestant), Bishop of Down.
EARL OF CHARLEMoNT A VICTIM.
The Earl of Charlemont died at Biar-
ritz to-day from influenza
Advices from Paris show that in
fluenza continues to increase every
where in France and the number of
deaths resulting from the disease is
very large.
Dispatches from Berlin and Vienna
state that the disease shows no sign of
abatement in Germany and Austria,
though it is now as rule of q less viru-
lent type than previously.
In Belgium influenza continues wide
spread. The peculiar feature of the
disease in that country is that large
number of insane persons have been
attacked. AT Louvain, fifteen miles
northeast of Brussels, there is an
insane asylum which has 500 inmates,
400 of whom are suffering with in.
fluenza. Forty nurses have been in
capacitated from service by the dis
ease.
In the lunatic colony at Gheel the
disease continues to spread in spite OF
every effort to check it. Many of the
residents of the colony have already
died and others are expected to die.
