Commander Evangeline Booth, lead

work with the American troops.
I'VE will do all we can to Ill this
demand" said Commander Booth when
discussing the approaching United
War Work Campaign, "snd the need
itself should impress the American
public all the more with the absolute
necessity for sustaining and enlarging
the war relief work of the seven or
ganizations, BESIDES the noble Red
Cross, now merged for drive for
funds. Each is a vital cog In vast
machine for human relief, and each In
indispensable. serving Its particular
elements In Its own way.
The Salvation Army was born In
hardship, reared In privation and
trained to every phase of human mis-
cry and how to cope with 1t. Perhaps
that accounts In some degree for the
success our work has attained and for
which we are thankful.
We are Of the common people, and
we toll on practical basis. We learn
ed the lesson Of how to do 1t In the
Boer war, when we stood at the side
Of Britain's troops and weathered 1t
out to the end. We have been tried
by fire. and the mothers and fathers
OF America, as In other countries, trust
the Salvation Army to do the thing
they would like to do for their men II
they but had the chance

front. operating from 400 huts and
dugouts, the Salvation Army is doing,

A5OO Cases of "Spanish Ipfluen-
"a" at Great Lakes Station.
Capt. Moffett Declares Situation ls
Now Well In Hand-ReIatlves Of
Men Sent Reports.

Chicago, Sept. 23.-There are 4,5OO
cases Of Spanish Influenza at the
Great Lakes Naval Training station,
and there have been more than a hum
dred deaths since September 8, ac-
cOrding to statement issued by Cap
tain William Moffett, cOmmandant, to
allay the fears of relatives Of men in
training and to set at rest sensational
rumors Of the ravases Of the malady.
The death rate is given at ~ per
cent, based on a total Of 1000 cases
that have been reported.
Captain Moffett declared the situa~
ton well in hand. The captains state
ment follows:
Spanish influenza first appeared at
Great Lakes September 8. The total
population OF the station today is 49,
coo, and there are about 4,5OO cases Of
Spanish Influenza. About 1000 cases
have been transferred to the base
hospital.
"The use Of q nasal spray and 9TH
er precautionary measures taken Is
not only reducing the number of cases
but is reducing the virulence Of the
disease and the consequent number
Of deaths. Two regiments-the Fifth
and TeDth-so far have not lost a
single case, and the situation In gen.
eral Is much improved.
"Tbe death rate has been about 1h
per cent, which is below the death
rate in the East, which has been about
2h per cent Since the advent Of
warmer weather admissions are much
less and the progress Of the disease is
very favorably influenced.
"The families OF men suffering from
tine disease living in this vicinity,
have been greatly aided by the Red
Cross and the navy relief society.
According to Lieutenant Command
der Owen J. Mink medical corps, q. 8.
N, the experience at Great Lakes
has shown that the most potent meas
ure in the prevention Of the disease
Is the use of nasal sprays or douches
Of Dobell's solution or other mild anti
septics. Those contracting the disease
should be put to bed Immediately and
kept there until they are entirely re-
covered. The treatment meeting with
the best results Is the regular use Of
cathartics, hot drinks, soup, with
DOver's powders and asperin for the
relief OF pain.
