WORST GRIP EPIDEMIC YET
Spreading From Coast to Coast and
Taking Large Toll in Lives.

Influenza. is spreading over the
United States from coast to coast in
the most serious epidemic ever
known, taking a large toll in lives
and causing economic loss by inca
pacitating workers in all walks OF
life.
Reports from public health service
officers made public by Surgeon Gen
eral Blue show that already the dis
ease has created a grave problem for
many of the larger cities, and IS
spreading to the rural communities.
New York. Chicago, Philadelphia,
Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, CleVe-
land, and Detroit reported the dis
ease widely prevalent. Cleveland and
Detroit each have probably one hun
dred thousand cases. OF the larger
cities Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Baltimore,
San Diego, Dallas and Mobile report
ed no signs Of an epidemic.
There is practically nothing the
federal government can do toward
aiding in suppression Of the epidemic.
It must be dealt with by local au-
thorities, and they, in turn, 1t, is ex-
planned, are almost helpless without
cooperation of the public. Surgeon
General Blue said he had called for
reports from all parts Of the country
with the hope that publicity would
tend to stimulate this cooperation.

RECEIVED NO WARNING
AND SAW NO SUBMARINE
Advices Received at Washington Fri
day From g. s. Consul Garrels
at Alexandria.

Consul Garrels at Alexandria,
Egypt, Friday advised the state de-
partment that he had obtained affi-
davits from tWenty-ore survivors Of
the Persia, including Charles H.
Grant, an American citizen, and that
all confirmed previous statements
that mo warning was given and no
vessel was seen."
The Austr Hungarian government
was without information concerning
the sinking Of the Persia, according
to a dispatch received Friday by the
state department from Ambassador
Penfeld at Vienna.
Officers and crew of the Persia,
the consul advised, have left Alex
andria for England, where their affi-
davits probably will be obtained upon
arrival. Consul Garrels has been in
structed to forward summaries of the
affidavits he has obtained.
Ambassador Penfeld's dispatch
was dated Thursday and contained
only informal information in response
to his inquiry as to whether the Aus
tro-Hungarian government had
knowledge of the sinking of the
Persia, and II so, what the circum
stances were.

RUSSIANS WIN VICTORIES
London Says Pressure Will Prevent
Invasion Of Egypt.

London declares the area of Rus
sian successes over the Austro-Ger-
man forces in the east continues to
widen. Although the situation
around Cznerowitz has not yet been
cleared up officially, it appears from
advices from Russian sources that
the Austrians are hard pressed over
long line Of defence and are throw.
ing huge reinforcements into the dis
trict. The Russians here are expect
ed to strike at the Kolomea-Stanis-
lau-Halicz line, where powerful de-
fensive works have been in prepara-
ton for some time by the Austro-
Germans.
Meanwhile the Russian position
two hundred and fifty miles farther
north on the Middle Styr River has
been greatly strengthened by sue
cessful operations in the region of
the great marshes, where the Rus
slams are beginning to emerge from
the marshes, with prospects Of being
able to use the roads leading either
west or southwest. Their
advance here has not been the result
of an isolated battle, but Of a series
of Engagements, lasting over con-
period. In the capitals Of
the Entente allies the opinion is ex-
pressed that the Russian offensive
has completely upset tie plans Of the
central powers for an invasion OF
Saloniki and Egypt.

RUSSIANS ADVANCING
Vienna Reports Enormous Losses to
Hosts Of the Gar.

Everywhere in the Stripa and Vol

east Galicia the Russians are on the
offensive, the official communications
from both Petrograd and Vienna re-
veal. Cznerowitz, capital of Buko-
wilma, is the position around which
the most important fighting IS in pro-
gress.
The Russian war office reports that
the Russians have occupied line OF
trenches northeast Of Czernowitz and
have repulsed strong counter attacks.
A Reuter-: dispatch from Petrograd
gives a report Of the evacuation OF
Czernowitz and the capture by the
Russians Of a large number of prls-
oners, including Germans.
There has been strong advance
by the Russians on this front, al
though Vienna says that the Russian
attacks have been unsuccessful and
that their losses have been appalling.
In one sector, six miles IN width,
1900 Russian dead have been count

S3S3AoS&SSSs
A number Of clothing stores fell
prey to the rioters, and almost imme-
diately men began exchanging their
old clothes for the loot they had seiz-
ed. This change Of apparel was
made in the street, lighted almost to
MONDAY brightness by the flames
from half hundred buildings.
By this time so much property had
been destroyed and the mob had be-
come so enflamed that the better cit
liens had fled. Many families came
to Youngstown and others took the
street cars to communities father
away, as the conviction was growing
that if the disorder spread to
Youngstown nothing could save the
city.
A dozen or more citizens, led by
Oscar Diser, city solicitor of East
Youngstown, gathered at the police
station and pleaded with the police
and other city officials to attack the
rioters. 1t was ALMOST midnight be-
fore force of forty armed men had
been gathered in Wilson avenue.
Then with Diser to lead them they
moved down the street.
Only block away the rioters were
looting the last building on the
block, and the citizens fired over
their heads. The rioters ran, but
finding no one had been killed, they
turned and sent shot after shot to-
ward the posse. No one was hurt,
and the posse fred again. A dozen
or more rioters went down and the
mob ran down the street. Scores Of
men, their pockets bulging with loot.
stumbled over each other in a mad
rush to get away.
The posse followed closely and
wherever possible chased the rioters
INTO side streets men being detach-
ed from among the citizens to round
them up. In half an hour Wilson
avenue had been almost cleared OF
the mob, but small bands were scat
tered about the hillside; as fast as
possible these men were driven by
main force to the police station and
automobiles took them to 4oungs-
town.
Clearing the streets gave the
YOUNGSTOWN fire department an op-
portunity to get into East Youngs-
/
for them to do and water was thrown
on the ruins the rest of the night, but
the wreck was most complete. By
daybreak the walls OF many Of the
! brick buildings burned began to fall
and the principal streets were roped
off and sightseers excluded.
What became Of the mob when II
fled before the bullets of the posse
has not yet been determined, al.
though it is known that hundreds OF
men streamed along country roads
leading out Of East youngstown,
while many others made their way
into Youngstown.
At four o'clock it was reported
that the mob was reforming on the
hills back Of the village determined
to attack again a1I he posse, when
had been helping t-.e fire department
was reassembled, and guards were
set until the soldiers could arrive
| The troops came at daybreak.

REACH NEW YORK SAFELY
Passengers Of Wrecked Greek Steam
ship Find Haven.

The passengers who were forced to
abandon the sinking Greek steamship
Thessaloniki at sea arrived in New
York Friday on the steamship PATHS
of the same line, and gave vivid de-
scriptions of the hardships they had
suffered during the five weeks that
the Thessaloniki w"s battered by a
series of terrific gales.
On December 25, Christmas Day,
passengers said, the supply Of meat
on the Thessaloniki was exhausted,
only few gallons of water were left,
and the ships officers began to por-
tion out short rations Of the meagre
supply Of food which remained.
The Thessaloniki first sprang a
leak when she encountered hurri-
cane which ragged for twelve nourse
on December q. The boiler and en-
CINE rooms were partly flooded and
the steamer sent out calls for assist
ance. After the hurricane subsided,
however. the flooded portions Of the
ship were pumped out and the steam
er proceeded on her voyage.

GREEK PRINCE SEES BOMBS
HIT ALLIES AT SAL0NIKI
Missiles are Dropped With Accuracy
by Planes 5000 Feet High- -.
Fleets Guns Reply.

Athens, via Paris, Wednesday:
Prince Andrsw Of Greece, brother OF
King Constantine, in an interview to-
day with the correspondent Of the
Associated Press, described the aerial
bombardment of the Allies camp at
Zeltenlik, on the outskirts Of Salon
Xxi; on December 80:
''The bombardment and the reply
Of the fleets anchored in the roads
Of Saloniki," said the prince, "was
one of the most extraordinary sights
imaginable. was riding back from
the mornings work with my regi-
ment when I was startled by a deaf
ening explosion from two hundred
yards away. A great cloud of black
smoke arose, followed shortly by
three more explosions at regular in
tervals. Then came the familiar
rocket-like sound of shell passing
over the air evidently fired by one of
the warships in the harbor.
Naturally my first thought was
that for some reason the fleet was
bombarding Saloniki. Therefore, I
rode straight to the nearest British
post, which happened to be hospital
not far from the Greek camp.
Why are you bombarding the
city?' asked the officers.
t:"Then for the first time I looked
up and saw three machines fully
three thousand feet high flying in
line from the northeast and turning
just over the harbor toward the
northeast and turning just over the
harbor toward the northwest in
which direction they finally disap-
peared.
"The bombs dropped with the
greatest precision, one after another,
killing and w,unding number OF
the Allies soldiers but not touching
the city. Meanwhile the firing Of the
fleet grew thunderous. It was i'm
possible to hear yourself speak. In
short time it became evident that
the fire from the fleet was more dan
gerous than the bombs fr )m the aero
planes as some Of the shells aimed
wild whistled directly over the town,
one narrowly missing Major Metaxas
and a troop of Greek cavalry return
ing from exercise.
Toward noon fourth aeroplane
arrived, following exactly the same
course as the others, though flying
lower. The black Maltese crosses
were plainly visible on it's wings. Ny
wife and I watched it's flight from the
balcony Of our house.
riding home along King George
street, towards tea time, was
astounded to see French soldiers and
a dense crowd of onlookers surround
ing the German consulate. Farther
along the street other consulates pre-
sented the same sight. The consuls
were hustled through. the crowd,
taken to the headquarters Of the
French commander, General Sarrail,
cross examined and then put aboard
the battleship Patrie to the accom-
paniment throughout Of the stares
and comments Of the curious
crowds" :.
:: Asked whether he would return to
Salooiki, the prince replied:
: "Of course I shall. Why shouldn't
I Despite appearances, saloniki is
still Greek. %

KINGSTREE LAD INJURED
Harold Steele, Hit by Automobile,
Badly Hurt.

Harold Steele, the twelve-year-old
son of Mrs. J. 3. Steele of Kingstree,
was seriously if not fatally injured
Friday afternoon, when he was
struck by an automobile in front of
his home on East Main street. The
machine was being driven. by Mr.. W.
H. Carr, and it seems that the head
lights failed to work.
He was returning to town from
the country and in front Of the
Steele residence a wagon load Of coal
was standing on the side of the road
and heading into the Steele yard.
The load was too heavy for the
team to pull up the embankment and
Harold was at one of the rear wheels,
when the car ran into him, mashing
the little fellow between the wagon
and the automobile The night was
very dark and stormy and with no
lights on his machine it was impos-
sible for Mr. Carr to see the wagon,
and he is greatly distressed over the
accident.

BRITAIN SEXES SHIPS
Takes Control in Order to Insure
Supply Of Grain and Food.

The British government is taxing
stringent measures to see that the
prevailing shortage in ships shall not
interfere with the shipment of fooc
and other necessaries to ports in the
United Kingdom. Vessels are beng
reouisitioned right and left for the
shipment of wheat from the Amerl-
cas-. and in shipping circles 1t is re-
ported that the admiralty intends to
call in the British ships now trading
between foreign ports.
The latter measure is expected par
ticularly to affect British ships trad
:ng between South America and the
United States. Shippers IN Londor
predict that such action would have
a disastrous effect on this trade.

EstiIl Man is Shot to Death by His
Brother-in-Law.

AS the result of an old feud, Hor-
ace Long was shot and killed at
Lena Friday afternoon about two
O'Clock by his brother-in-law, Calvin
Shuman. About a year ago Long
and Shuman met in Hampton and
Shuman was badly beaten by Long.
Since that time bad feeling has ex-
listed.
Friday Long was sitting on the
steps of his brothers store where he
is employed when Shuman, it is al
legged, rode up in his buggy, hitched
his horse, walked over to where
Long was sitting and opened fire,
shooting him four times. Death was
instantaneous, one bullet going
through the heart. Shuman walked
back to his buggy and drove to
Hampton and surrendered. Both are
married and about thirty years OF
age.
