GERMAN DEVILTRY
KEPT UP TO THE LAST
All Sorts of Electrical Contrivanees
to Main the Allies

With the British-American Armies,
Nov. 10, Correspondents of The AS
ISOLATED Press)-GerTnan deviltry
seemed to know no bounds in the
last days of the. fighting on
the British front after the
Hindenburg line had been shat
tered. They attached grenades to
the bodies of dead Huns left behind
in the German retreat, SO that when
the bodies were lifted the grenades
exploded, killing of wounding the
bearers.
Near the town of LIE Cateau,a num-
Der of Australian stretcher-bearers
were killed by grenades in attempting
to remove some German dead
from the field in front of an Ameri-
can machine-gun position. Thereaf-
ter no Australians would be put a
hand on dead German. In some
cases the bodies were dragged to
their burial places by means of a
long rope which allowed the stretch
er-bearers to keep out of range of any
exploding hand-grenades.
The Americans, on the other hand
hit upon the plan of making the Ger
main prisoners bury their own dead
In once instance a Boche prisoner
was summarily shot because he re-
fused to remove the body of one OF
his dead companions An examina-
ton of the body later led to the dis
covery that it was mined. The Ger.
man was aware of this fact and re.
fused to touch it.
In one small town evacuated by the
Germans, many of the beds were
found to be mined An American of.
fcer, tired and worn by long ane
hard fighting, sought rest on lounge
in room previously occupied by 6
German officer. The lounge blew VI
and he was instantly killed.
Another officer picked up a pair Of

glasses exploded in his hands ane

The Huns had become adept in The
ncfarious business of making inferno
machines, mines and time fuses, anc
there was scarcely an area where the
electrical and engineering experts Of
the Allies did not find some new form
of their fiendish ingenuity.

New Trick.

A newrmethod of fighting the Uboat
menace is for the attacked vessel to
drop a depth charge as the torpedo
approaches. In daylight the wake of
the torpedo can usually be seen quite
clearly. When the depth charge ex-
plodes it either causes the premature
explosion of the torpedo or else diverts
the deadly missile from its course. This
was found ouf quite by accident. A
ships officer in his excitement one day
threw depth charge overheard, it did
the trick.

Washington, d. C.--With the subsid-
ence of the epidemic of Influenza the
attention of health officers is directed
to pneumonia, bronchitis and other
diseases of the respiratory system
which regularly cause a large number
of deaths. especially during the winter.
season. According to Rupert Blue,
Surgeon General Of the United States
Public Health Service, these diseases
will be especially prevalent this win
fer unless the people are particularly
careful to obey health Instructions.
'The present epidemic said Sur
geon General Blue, has taught by bit
ter experience how readily q condition
beginning apparently as slight cold
may go on to pneumonia and death.
Although the worst of the epidemic is
over, there will continue to be a large
number of scattered cases, many of
them mild and unrecognized, which
will be danger spots to be guarded
against" The Surgeon General likened
the present situation to that after
great fire, saying, NO fire chief who
understands his business stops playing
the hose on the charred debris as soon
as the flames and visible fire have dis
appeared. On the contrary, he con-
tinues the wafer for hours and even
days, for he knows that there is dan
ger of the fire reminding from smol-
dering embers.'
'Then you fear another outbreak of
influenza?' he was asked. Not neces-
sarily another large epidemic said
the Surgeon General. "but unless the
people learn to realize the seriousness
Of the danger they will be compelled to
pay a heavy death toll from pneumo-

One Million Consumptives in the
United States.

Then you consider this a serious
menace?' was asked. "ln my opinion
it is, though l hasten To add it is dis
tinctly one against which the people
can guard. SO far as one can estimate
there are at present about one million
cases of tuberculosis in the United
States. There is unfortunately no
complete census available to show ex-
actly the number of tuberculosis per
sons in each state despite the fact that
most of the states have made the dis
ease reportable. In New York city,
where reporting has been in force for
many years, over $4,000 cases of tu-
berculosis are registered with the De
partment of Health. Those familiar
with the situation believe that the adj
dition of unrecogDized and 1lnreported
cases would make the number nearer
10000 The very careful health sur-
vey conducted during the past two
years in birmingham, Mass, revealed
200 cases of tuberculosis in a popula-
ton of approximately $4,000. If these
proportions hold true for the United
States as whole they would indicate
that about one in every hundred per-
sons is tuberculous. Each of these
constitutes a source of danger to be
guarded against"
The evening Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1918-1920, 1918-12-02
What to %.

In his statement to the public Sur
geon General Blue points out how
those who have had influenza should
protect themselves against tuhercnlo-
sis. "All who have recovered from in
fiuenza." says the Surgeon General,
should have their lungs. carefully ex-
amined by, a competent physician. In
fact. Ii is desirable to have several ex-
aninati0ns made a month apart. Such
examinations cannot be made through
the clothing. her.<can they be carried
oft in two or three minutes. If the
lungs are found TO be free from tubet-
culosis every effort should be made to
keep them So This can be done by
right living, good food and plenty of
fresh air.
Danger Signs.
The Surgeon General warned espe-
cially against certain danger signs,
such. as decline and colds which
hang on"
These, he explained. were often the
beginning of tuberculosis. IF you do
not get well promptly, if your cold
seems TO hang on or your health and
strength decline. remember that these
are often the early signs of tuberculo-
sis. Place yourself at once under the
care of competent physician Tuber-.
culosis is durable in the early stages
Patent Medicines Dangerous in Tuber-
cuIosis.
Above all do not trust in the mis-.
leading statements of unscrupulous
patent medicine takers. There is no
specific medicine for the cure of tuber-,
culosis The money spent on such
medicines is thrown away: it should
be spent instead for good food and de-
cent living
