Maine influenza Summary.

Now that the epidemic of influenza in
Maine has practically disappeared, DR..
l.. d. Bristol, State Commissioned OF
Health and Chairman of the State Elmer.
gency Influenza Committee, has made
q statement summarizing the work done
in combating the disease in the state.
%, 1885 cases of influenza, and 457
deaths were reported TO the State Depart
ment of Health from various local boards
of health throughout the state.
Although q number Of physicians and
local boards of health have not done
their duty in reporting these cases, DIR.
Bristol believes that the large majority
OF them did conscientious work in max
ing daily reports to the local boards and
the State Department. of Health.
During the epidemic, eight thousand
persons have been given the influenza
vaccine prepared aud distributed by the
Laboratory of the State Department OF
Health, and DIR. 81. E. Thompson and
his assistants in the laboratory are to be
warmly commended for their prompt
and efficient work in making this vac
cine.
DR.. Bristol paid the following tribute
to the other members who worked with
him on the Emergency Iofluenzs Com
mittee: ITO Cr. G. A. Kempf and DIR.
Paul PEBBLE Of the U. s. Public Health
Service, to Mr.. L. z. Smith, Jr., of the
American Red Cross and TO Mr.. Harold
Sewall and Mr.. 81. P. Gardner of the
State Public Safety Committee, che state
of Maine owes . debt Of gratitude.
Largely through the efforts Of tits com
mittee, twenty-five Emergency 1nfluenzs
Hospitals were opened In seventeen cities
and towns of the state; twenty-three
physicians were supplied for special
service in twenty-five towns; and one
hundred and Twenty-Five nurses were
sent to work In fifty different commu.
mites. This does not include the doctors
and nurses obtained through the splen-
did efforts OF Capt. Bradbury, Medical
Aide to the Governor, previous to the
appointment of the Emergency Com.
mittee.
Without the splendid cooperative of,
forts of various local boards of health
selectmen, Red Cross Chapters, and
Public Safety Committees, and without
the financial assistance Of the U. s.
uUllC 1cdilu ociNISo, tuc cIucTReuCl
appropriation voted by Governor Mil
liken and his Council, and the individual
cities and towns concerned, a successful
campaign against the epidemic would
have been impossible, according to the
Commissioner of Health.
"The doctors and nurses" said DIR
Bristol, "who risked their lives In caring
for persons afflicted with influenza, have
earned the gratitude of the public, while
the nurses and physicians who actually
lost their lives in this service, will evel
be held in grateful remembrance.
DR.. Bristol believes that although thu
epidemic has subsidized, many commu
mites will have few new cases of in
fluepzs during the entire winter, and
that the local agencies which have done
80 much in combating the disease and
caring for the sick, will have an impor
tant task In giving advice and assistance
TO families which have been affected
physically or financially by the disease

ASSASSINATION RUSSIAN EMPRESS NOW IS RUNORED
However, It Is Disbelieved, as
 Spain Is Seeking Her Re \ lease From Russia With Her
 Three Daughters
lRv Revlew Leased Wirel


 MADRID, Sept. 5.-A dispatch was received here last night from London reporting the assassina- tion of former Russian empress and her daughters, but in view of the steps taken by King Alfonso to obtain the transfer to Spain of the family of the deposed and mur- dered Russian monarch, the report was treated with all reserve.
 Fl Sol says the Spanish ambas- sador at Berlin conferred on the question of removing the former empress and her daughters from Russia with Ambassador Joffe. the Russian ambassador at Berlin. At the same time, the newspaper says, a Spanish military medical mission, which was in Germany in connection with the exchange of prisoners of war. left Germany for Russia and that mission now is with the ex-empress and her daughters.
 There remains only a few for malities to complete which will take only few days, Fl Sol says, and then the former empress and her children will come to Spain on yacht flying the Papal colors. The Russian women will reside at Magdalena palace at Santander.
 Fl Sol adds that it seems diff cult to believe the negotiations could be continued without the Spanish government learning of the death of the former empress if it had occurred as reported.

PICKERING OVER DRY LAW STILL
 HOLDS SENATE
Concession Made When Reso- lution Passed Authorizing President to Set Dry Zones By Proclamation
By Review Leased Vvire)

WASHINGTON, Sept 5.-Although the senate today adopted a resolution authorizing the president to establish dry zones around coal mines, ship yards. munition and other war plants, it again failed to reach a final vote on the emergency agricultural apprO- priation bill with it's rider providing for national prohibition from July 1, 1919. until the nations huge army is mustered out after the war.
 The resolution for prohibition zones about war plants was a part of the prohibition rider. It was adopted sep arately, however, upon representations that the prohibition bill might be de- layed and that the president should be given the power immediately to create the proposed zones Offered by Sen ator Kellogg of Minnesota, the sep arate resolution was approved without a roll call and after scant debate. Later an effort was made by Represen- tative Miller of Minnesota. to bring the resolution before the house. but Repre- sentative Dent of Alabama, objected and it went over.
 Long discussion of the stacker roundup" at New York and of the federal trade commission and it's re- port on profiteering occupied most of the senate's time today and prevented a vote. despite attempts of prohibit ton champions to hasten disposal of the measure. which has been before the senate since last May.
 Prohibition leaders said action of the senate in separately adopting the zone legislation would not interfere with or embarrass the prohibition sec tion of the bill. The plan it's retention in the agricultural measure upon final passage. The senate also deferred .ac- ton today on the amendment of Sen ator Bankhead of Alabama. proposing government purchase of distilled spir- it's left in storage when the prohi- bition clause becomes effective.

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-The arrest within twenty-four hours of the man who placed a bomb in the en- trance of the federal building yes terday killing four persons and in- turing a score of others was pre- dicted tonight by federal officials.
 Two thousand government agents have been working on the case ever since the explosion and scores of persons known to be of radical tendencies have been ar rested and questioned.
 Four theories are offered by the police to explain the outrage. First that it was an |. w. w. plot to per nit the escape of Wm. D. Hay wood, secretary-treasurer of the organization as he was in the building at the time of' the blast; second that it was the work of German sympathizer; third, that it was placed by an anarchist, and fourth, that it was the work of "crank."

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-It is extremely unlikely that Presi- dent Wilson will make a tour of the county in behalf of the fourth Liberty loan. Because of the pending revenue legislation and other important matters the president was understood today to feel that a prolonged absence from Washington this month would be unwise.
 While no definite announce ment that the president would make a swing around the cOun- try speaking for the loan had been made, 1t was generally un- derstood that he was planning a trip that would take him to the Pacific coast.

UNDATED WAR LEAD (By the As sociated Press) The French and Americans are fast driving the Ger mans out of their positions in south ern Picardy and in the sector between the Vesle and the Aisne rivers. So rap id has been the progress of the allies the French in Picardy and the Amer icans and French from Soissons east ward toward Rheims that the retire ment of the enemy has the appearance of the beginning almost of a rout.
 Meanwhile field Marshal Haig, from Peronne to Ypres, has been almost as busily engaged with his troops in car rying out successful maneuvers which are only in a slightly less degree of rapidly forcing the Germans every where to give ground.
 Haig's men again have made the Germans taste bitter defeat on numer ous sectors and the end of the punish ment for them seems not yet in sight.
 In the latest fighting in the region extending from the old NOyon sector to Soissons, the French have reclaim ed thirty villages from the Germans; have crossed the SOmme canal at sev- eral points and are standing only short distance from the important junction of Ham with its roads lead ing to St. Quentin and La .Fere.

Government Is Trying to Come to Terms With 9th CTS, That Young Men May Be Educated
CBy Review Leased wlre)


 WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-More than 400 educational institutions have been enlisted in the war de- partment's program for educating at the expense of the government, recruits who are selected as worthy of this privilege. Tenta- tive contracts with additional col leges are being signed.
 Practically the entire first class to be given the special courses will be drawn from the IS and 19 year old men who are already reg istered at the approved institu- tions for the scholastic year be- ginning next month.
 The period between October and December will be devoted to test ing out the plan and those stu dents who fail tO take full advant- age of their opportunity will find themselves changing places with other drafted men.
 Selection of a recruit for special training will mean that he will then face one of four eventualities. He will be found sufficiently quail fled for detail to an officers train ing camp; he will be found quail fled, but not matured enough for this supplementary training and will be maintained at the school. He will be found unqualified for commanding troops, but qualified for further technical training; he will be returned to the status of a draft registrant and will be called in his turn. No decision has been reached as to whether the mili- tary regulations drawing a dry zone around all training camps will be extended to cover these in- stitutions.
