tagious I. Aly theory Is that the maiady
is caused by germs and that 1t is an in
fectious IN It's nature. There is a great
difference between the two and 1T is not
generally appreciated by the layman.
'Now, there are a number of men in
the profession, good, honest physicians,
who are 3ust as sure they are right when
they tell their patients they have caught
the disclose from some of their friends.
Suppose l should allow you to say that
/ did not believe they were right and
would state my side of the case. They
would naturally want to be heard and
that would stir up a hornets nest of ar
gument through the columns OF your
paper and while / recognize that you
are always interested in that which in
terests the public, l am convinced
that such a discussion would be of alb
solutely no interest to the general pub
lie. / am frank with you because l rec
ogniZe that you are investigating the
matter only where it is of interest to the
public and / believe you are entitled to
know anything of Importance that will
throw light on the subject"
There is no doubt that la grippe has
laid violent hands on Washington, and
from what can be learned the statistics
of the last few days go to prove the theory
of what may be termed the asphaitists.
Almost every one of the men who have
been stricken In this city have been per
sons who have been on the streets for
long time. Eight per cent of the active
strength of the police force Of the Dis
trict of Columbia are sick at their homes
or in other ways incapacitated for duty,
and at least rs per cent of these are suf-
fering from grip. The fire department
and the street car companies make an
equally disabled showing. Even the driv-
ers of the delivery wagons and the MEM
bers of the street cleaning department are
in the throes of the dread maiady, and 1t
has resulted in Il very great Inconvenience
to the large department stores. whose
heaviest business is done about Christmas
time.
A cessation from the heavy, murky
weather Is promised by the Weather Bu-
reau. and If the days are as clear and as
cold as they expect them to be 1t is
thought that a great deal of the disease
viii be stamped out. There is nothing so
detrimental to the life OF germ of any
kind as cold weather, and the grip
bacteria is no exception to the general
rule.

SIGNAL CORPS NO. IN
NEED OF TELEGRAPHERS
General Greedy Says He Is Getting
Plenty of Men at 5000
n Month.

Gen. Greely says the Signal Corps does
not want any more telegraphers. During
the last few days various protests have
been filed with the department and the
newspa pers around the country against
the alleged ill-treatment of the operators
in the service during the late war and
against the probability of the same abuse
being heaped upon those who are willing
to enlist in the service for work in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines. 1t is
claimed that during the war the telegr aph-
ers were forced to act as hostlers and 10
do menial camp work. One complainant
writing to the Telegraph Age, of New
York. claims that Col. Dunwoody, who has
charge of the work of the Signal Corps
in Cuba is unfit for the service as far as
ability is concerned. He does not know
the difference between a telegraph sounder
and saw log" the man with the griev-
ance says. He is trying now TO get first
class men for the service at $40 month,
and intends 10 make them act as servants
or lackeys when he does get them in
Instead of trying to get more men"
said Gen. Greedy this morning, we are
refusing to employ good men every day.
They are. continually applying for posi-
tions, but we are refusing to take them
unless they have army experience. We
don't want any more raw recruits. As
for Col. Dunwoody. of course, 1 have
nothing to say. Every tub must stand
on it's own bottom. and If he does the
work that is required of him, | don't t
see what business 1t is of anybody's out
side of the department. Instead of pay
ing $40 We are paying 5000 a month
These men who are complaining of being
obliged to dc menial work may have a
grievance: / don't know; but they have
according to their ideas. That sort should
not have enlisted. When i first went in
to the army l had to obey orders; clean
ed out stables, dug trenches and did
anything my superior officer told me to
do. That's what a man may expect when
he goes into the army

THREE CHILDREN BITTEN
BY a MAD DOG

New York. Dec. 22.-Three little chill
drcn shut UP in a small room with a dog
gone mad, had an exciting adventure in
Paterson yesterday. They are Henry Pc
tcrsen, aged nine; Joseph Petersen, aged
seven and Mamie Petersen, aged five chill
dren Of Mrs. Petersen, a widow. She had
left them in the house at No. u Fair
Street TO 90 on an eTrand.
The petersens had a pet dog. half pug,
half terrier. 1t was lying quietly in front
of a stove when Mrs. Petersen left the
house. A few minutes later it began to
bark and run about, frothing at the
mouth and upsetting furniture and crock
cry in the room.
Henry, the older boy, tried to catch the
dog and was bitten in the leg Joseph
was bitten a moment later, and then
Mamie's right hand was badly bitten.
The children were screaming wildly. and
ncighbors summoned Patrolman Bush
The policeman forced his way into the
house and the dog attacked him. Bush
had only his club, with which he made
n gallant defense. Dodging the wild ami
NAL whenever IL attempted to bite him,
he finally felIed the dog with a blow on
the head. A few more blows ended its
life
The injuries of the children were eau

Nearly 10000 Pupils Absent
From Their Studies.
EPIDEMIC In A MILD FORM
Twenty-Five Per Cent Of ALI SchO!-
ars Affected.
Greatest Number of Absentees on
Account of the Disease In the
Southeast Section.

The mild form of grip which made its
with the changed atmosphere and condi-
tions last week, is now epidemic. The
cold, damp weather of the past two
days, especially conducive to the whole
sale propagation of the grip bacillus. has
brought about an alarming condition in
the state of the citys health.
In departments. Offices. stores and
schools the disease has become wide
spread, and its rayages are on the in
crease. So far the disease, while holding
thousands of the population in its de-
pressing grasp, has not assumed a ma
lignant form, and unless the epidemic
becomes more serious within a day or
two it is not probable that many deaths
will result.
School children especially have been
subject to the onslaught Last week a
few cases appeared in the schools, gen.
eraly in the Kindergarten departments but
at present the number suffering from
mild symptoms Of this disease exceeds ten
thousand. Tais is a remarkably high ra-
Ito, being about % per cent. In some sec
tions of the city the sick rate is even
higher. In the southeast where the ma
laria is prevalent the number of absentees
is greater. the ratio being as high as 3
per cent.
The disease. as it appears among the
school children, consists Of a bad cold
and sundry aches and pains in the limbs
While the children are not all confined
to their beds, they are just sick enough
to be unfit for study.
The great number of absentees has seri-
ously interfered with the work of the
school course, but as the Christmas vaca-
tion commences today not much more
work will be lost. The school authorities
are hopeful that when the Christmas va
cation closes the weather will be better
and the children able TO attend school.
