SIX MILLION HAVE
DIED OF INFLUENZA
NEVER SINCE BLACK DEATH
HAS SUCH A PLAGUE
SWEPT THE WORLD.

LONDON, - The medical CORE
spondent of The Times writes:
There seem to be reasonable
grounds to believe that 100000 per-
sons have died of influenza and of
pneumonia in the last twelve weeks.
This plague, therefore, is five times
more deadly than the war, which, it
is estimated, killed 20,000,0OO per-
sons in four and half years. Infu-
enza has cost London 10000 lives
up to date.
Never since the "black death" has
such plague swept the world. In
India alone it is estimated there were
100000 deaths. In Bombay there
were $4,000 and in Delhi 500 daily.
The Puniab lost a quarter of a mil
lion.
In Capetown 1000 children were
left destitute. The natives were
swept down as by fire. Eighty per
cent of the natives of Samoa were
affected.
In Spain the visitation was terrible,
Barcelona having 1900 deaths daily.
All over Europe, Asia, Africa and
Australasia and North America the
totals were dreadful. No medical
authority is certain of any conclu-
sion yet reached, but possibly a still
undiscovered organism is involved.
Possibly the increased virulence of
the influenza bacillus is responsible.
1t was mild when it first started in
Spain. 1t visited England in a mild
form, then America, and then re-
turned to England in a severer type.
Usually it first appeared at seaports.

$3.50 THEIR ONLY PAY
SINCE LAST SPRING.
MANY WOUNDED SOLDIERS IN
COLONIA BASE HOSPITAL
HAVE SAME STORY.

COLONIA, N. J.-Marines who
helped to save Paris at Belleau Wood
and doughboys who gave an arm or a
leg for the cause of democracy re-
cited at the base hospital here today
how they had sailed from France
with $3.50, the first money that any
of them had seen since late winter or
early spring. This condition, they
declared, was not exceptional with
them, but was the usual situation
which their comrades overseas faced
when they were sent home manned
and wounded.
That the men here were not all in
that plight at the present time, they
said, was due solely to the manner in
which Lieutenant Colonel A. P. Up
shur, the commandant, and his sub
ordinates had hacked away official red
tape and put matters on human
basis. These officers, so the grateful
wounded said, had established a sys-
tenn whereby they simply took the SOL
dier's word for the amount of back
nay due him and paid it after certain
legal formalities had been satisfied.
Many Still Unpaid.
Despite this slashing of routine red
tape, however, the men said there
were many who had not received a
cent since last spring, when they were
paid in France, with the single ex-
ception of casual pay overseas.
Several men who had suffered this
hardship repeated their own stories.
These men said that although manned
in service they had been in sorry
financial condition until they discov-
cred the ease and speed with which
the Red Cross here honored their re-
quests for loans to tide them over the
crisis.

10, The POOR INDIAN OWNS
LARGE AMOUNTS OF BONDS
He Also Enlisted in the ARMY in
Large Numbers, and Produced
Food Crops.

WASHINGTON. = The American
Indian, by enlisting in the army and
navy, by subscribing literally to the
liberty loans, by increasing the pro
auctions of foodstuffs on Indian lands
and by contributions to relief agen-
cies, greatly aided the United States
and allies in winning the war. Liberty
bonds were bought, Commissioner of
Indian affairs today, in his annual re-
port.
Mr.. Sells said that out of $4,000
eligible for military duty more than
$500 Indians entered the army, 900
enlisted in the navy and 500 were in
other war work. More than 5000 of
the enlistments were voluntary. Lib
etry bonds were bought, Commission
er Sells said, until Indians now hold
the equivalent Of one $50 bond for ev-
cry man. woman and child of their
race in the nation.

THOSE ATLANTIANS Are SEEM
THINGS THESE WINTER DAYS
Mysterious Animal Said to Be Prowl-
ing Near Grant Park Is Causing
Conformation.

ATLANTA.-A strange and terri
BILE animal roaming at large in the
woods near Grant park in this city
was first believed to be a tiger or a
leopard from the zoo but examination
OF the cages disclosed the fact that
all of the animals answered present
to their names.
Then it was thought the animal
might be an escaped inmate of ma
nagerie in winter quarters at Lake
wood park, but the circus keepers
could find no occupant missing from
any ftheir cages. Hence the police
are on a new tack, this time without
a clue to guide them.
Persons who have seen the animal
say it is three feet high at least. It
travels in a lope with a long, spring
ing stride, like a cat or a tiger on
its nimble velvet pads. Several dogs
in the Grant park neighborhood have
had their threats cut when they
chased the strange night visitor
Mothers are very much alarmed for
the safety Of their children.

GOVERNMENT WOULD
TAX CHILD LABOR
THE GEORGIA SENATORS VOTE
AGAINST 10 PER CENT ON
CHILD LABOR PROFITS.

Observation-Disclosures of a
committee amendment imposing 10
per cent tax on profits from child
labor products entering interstate
commerce was the only action by the
senate on the war revenue bill today.
The vote on the amendment was so
to II, with democrats casting all the
negative votes.
Southern Senators Against.
The child labor amendment, draft
ed jointly by Senators Pomerene, of
Ohio, and Lenroot, of Wisconsin, and
Kenyon, of Iowa, is designed to re-
place the child labor bill declared I'M
constitutional by the supreme court.
Senators Hardwick, of Geogia, and
Overman, of North Carolina, led the
fight on it, and on the roll call ~

NAKED GIRLS Are
DRIVEN IN HERDS
ARMENIANS DEPORTED HUN
DREDS OF MILES ACROSS
MOUNTAINS BY TURKS.

The Morning Post, of London, pub
fishes from Constantinople report
OF massacres of Armenians by Turks
which began in the early part of
1915. It's terrible tale points to a
determined attempt to exterminate
the whole nation, and the following
story is told of the awful deportation
scheme:
For hundreds of miles over noun
talns, IN scorching heat or freezing
cold, long conveys went. Young girls
the age of 10 and upward were oblig-
ed to march naked for hours at a
time. Hundreds of thousands died
on this march.
1T is estimated that 100000 who
were deported to western Asia cross
ed the bridge over the Euphartes
from Soriar to Chittado, and of these
only 1900 are now alive.
But the trials of these unhappy
people did not cease at the end of
that march. The luckiest were young
girls who We're taken into harems.
The governor of the vilayet re-
leased all the convicts from the pris-
ons, divided them into bands of 200
or 300 each, armed with clubs, and
then sent them to outrage and mas
sacre the Armenians collected in the
vilayet, In Urfah soldiers and others
got so weary of the work of massa-
ere that the governor advertised for
eXecutioners to complete the work.
He boasted that at Diarbekir $4,000
Armenians were put to death.
"He took 500 children, inclosed
them in a building and set fire to it.
"Three months after his accession
the present sultan ordered all chill
dren who had been forcibly converted
to be returned to their homes. The
governor of Samsoun on receiving
the order collected all the children in
his district and placed them on barges
and had them towed into the Black
Sea and drowned.
"In Georgia, Zelki Bey regretted
that his soldiers had not been en-
ergetic enough in killing Armenians.
and he had huge pits dug in which
young children were buried alive"

MAN OVER PAID $1,000
ASKS INVESTIGATION
WILLING TO RETURN MONEY AT.
TER HE HAS TOLD HIS sTo-
RY IN COURT.

BRISTOL, Pa. 80 urley'' Me-
Guire, wrestler, boxing promoter and
liberty bond salesman, who has been
at the head of everything in connec-
ton with the sporting activities of
the merchant shipyard since it be-
gan operations here, has $1,000 in
his possession, representing overpay-
ment for services rendered prior to
his recent discharge, which was oc-
casioned by a labor controversy.
Mcclure admits he has the money,
and says he will return it. but in
slsts that he be arrested first. For
some reason the shipyard authorities
have failed to issue a warrant, and
do not explain what steps will be
taken to recover it.
Mcclure, when he was discharged.
had trifie more than $50 coming to
HIM, and when the check for his serv-
ices was drawn up it was for $1,000
more than was due him. The error
apparently was a clerical one, al
though the check was countersigned
by two officials of the merchant cor
poration.
Mcguire says he knows of a num-
Der of cases of inefficiency in the
shipyard, and intimates that several
are of a criminal nature. He has
asked that he be given an opportuni-
ty to tell his story before a magis-
trate or court.
In the meantime the money is ly-
ing in the safe in a Bristol bank, and
there it will stay, Mcclure says, until
he is arrested and compelled to re-
turn it. Shipyard officials have tried
to induce him to return it without
facing legal action and today stated
that some steps probably would be
taken soon.
