generally understood that when what is

still in force, excepting in organized
civil townships where the question may
have been submitted to the voters, as
provided for in Chapter 1872 Of the Ses.

BOND HOLDERS
Urged by Treasury Department to Have
Them Registered to Insure
Against Loss or Theft.

Washington, Nov. 23.-To insure
against loss or theft of Liberty Bonds,
owners are being urged by ths treasury
to have their coupon bonds registered,
although the procedure results in great
amount of work and expense for the
Government now that the number Of
bond owners runs above thirty millions.
The registration can be arranged at most
banks, and is done without cost to the
owner After registration, if bond is
accidentally lost, stolen, or destroyed,
the Government will pay it at maturity
just the same, and interest checks will be
mailed to the bond owner twice a year
without requiring him to 90 to the trou-
BILE of clipping coupons and presenting
them at bank.
"The fact that the bonds of the first
liberty loan or bonds of the second lib
erty loan are converted into bonds bear
ing higher rate of interest does not
affect the dates On which interest is
payable" " explains treasury announce
ment.
Interest is paid on bonds of the first
loan, regardless of whether they have
been converted, on June l5 and Decem
Der Is; on bonds of the second loan,
May 10 and Sept. l5; third loan, March
10 and Sept. 10; fourth loan, April Is
and Oct. 10.
The treasury also explains that owing
to the mechanical difficulties Of prepar
ing millions of interest checks on regis.
tered bonds, coupon bonds will not be |
exchanged for registered bonds or regis |
tered bonds transferred on the books |
from one owner to another during |
month before an interest paying date OF
each particular loan. For example, ex-
changes or transfers can not be arranged |
for first liberty loan bonds between May |
Is and June lG; between Nov. Is and |
Dec. l6. For the second loan these
dates would be April Is to May Is, and
Oct. Is to Nov. l6. For the third loan,
Feb. Is to March Is, and August Is to
Sept. l6. For the fourth loan, March l5
to April l6 and Sept Is to Oct. Is.

1000 TO REACH
United States This Week.-Transnorts :
Carrying Air Squadron From
England on Way.

Washington, Nov 26.-The first unit
OF the American txpeditionary forces to
return from overseas are expected to
reach New York the last of this week.
General March, chief of staff, announces
that 3S2 officers, four nurses, and 6.6l4
enlisted men left Liverpool last week on
the liners Minnekahda, Lapland and
Orea. The units, large air squadrons,
nave been training in England. GEN
eral March announced that the three
vessels were expected to arrive in New
York about the end of this month.
This announcement means that the
movement Of the American troops now
IN England, the majority of whom are
IN air service detachments, will con.
tinue steadily until all of them. some
10000 have returned to this country.
There are no regiments or other units
OF line troops in England. The first
movements of the larger units, such as
brigades and divisions, will come from
France ports, it is assumed, as the

doubtedly is completely occupied with

DECISION IN DOLL CASE

The United States court Of appeals sit
ting at st. Louis, has reversed the con-
viction in the South Dakota United
states district court of Charles Doll, of
Custer, convicted in Deadwood during
the late session of the court there. of
violation of the espionage act. The ac-
ton of the court for the reason that up
on its decision hung the fate Of many
other espionage act convictions in this
part of the country. The text of the
court of appeals decision, received by
United States District Attorney Stewart,
is as follows:
Charles Doll was convicted of willfully
obstructing the recruiting and enlist
ment service of the United States and
willfully causing and attempting to
cause dsloyalty, insubordination and
mutiny in the military forces of the
United States, in violation of Section 8,
title /, of the Espionage act of June 10,
1917
The crimes were charged to have been
committed June 20, 1917, by the use of
language which was too profane and OBJ
scene to be set forth in this opinion. 1t
was quite clearly shown at the trial that
the accused was under the influence of
liquor and had or thought he had a
grievance against the Government over
right to timber from a forest reserva-
ton. The language used in converse
ton 'th two forest officers to whom he
made his complaints. 1t appeared that,
at the time, the officers were also engag-
ed in recruiting for the engineer military
service, but that fact was not told the
accused nor did he know it. The mill
tary service was not the subject of the
conversation and he said nothing by
way of persuasion, advice or otherwise
against enlistment or the draft. What
he said was but coarse, indecent out.
burst because of famed grievance in a
matter wholly unrelated to those sub
jects Where words only are relied as
obstructing the service an attempt to
cause dsloyalty, ETC., contrary to the
clauses of the Espionage act above cit
ed, much depends on the circumstances
and they should be closely regarded
We think there was nothing in this case
fairly indicating that the accused intend
ed the results which are essential ele.
mepts of the ofenses or that such re-
suits in fact followed or would naturally
follow what he said. His request for
! directed verdict should therefore have
been granted. 1t should be noted that
this case arose before the act of May Is,
1918, which is much broader than the
original statute.
The sentence is reversed and tie ac-
cused is rsmauded for new trial,

FLU" LINGERING DISEASE

1t is significant that in Hrsch's his.
tory of Influenza all the epidemics oc-
curing since 1929 are designated by a
name composed of two or more years
connected with a hyphen For exam.
plies, l729-3O, 1928. AS to the cpl
denies occurring in l7l9, of course, in
formation at best is only meager. This
proves that the disease has never died
out completely in few months.
The present pandemic is believed to
have originated somewhere in Western
Asia; others speak of it as having start
ed in Spain. Keegan reports that dur
ing last summer it was prevalent in the
army camps of both the Allies and the
Central Powers, and as having attacked
80 to 40 per cent. of the people in Ger
many, Italy, France, England and Ire
land.
The disease was brought to the Eastern
United States in August by patients or
carriers from Europe. 1t is reported to
have attacked as high as 10 per cent. of
the men in some military camps.
Osler says that with the exception of
dengue there is no disease which indis-
crlminately attacks SO large proportion
of the Inhabitants. The season of the
weather seems to have little to do in in
ducing an outbreak, though the greatest
outbreaks in this country haye occurred
during the winter months, probably due
to the lower resistance of the respira-
tory passages during this season of the
year.
These statements indicate that we are
in for several years of unusual preya-
lence of pneumonia and influenza.
What can we do? Vaccination against
pneumonia, according to Lyster, protects
for eight months. If this be true, vac.
cination in November will protect
through the winter and spring. How
long vaccination against influenza pro-
tects no one knows. Our experience
this winter may give US information on
that point.
Brooks observations, fully endorsed
by the Massachusetts Health Depart
ment, prove everything claimed for fresh
air and sunlight. Attention to ventila-
ton must be redoubled. The aged and
infrm who are able to do so had better
winter in California or the South for sew
eral years. For those sick with pneu-
monia, pneumonia serum seems to offer
the best chance of recovery.--Dr. w. A..
Evans in Chicago Tribune.
