of the ear, or meningitis, and many Of
these complicated cases die. Whether
this so-called Spanish influenza Is
identical with the epIdemics Of influen-
IA of earlier years is not vet known.
"Epidemics of Influenza have visited
this country since 1917 1t is interest
ing to know that this first epidemic
was brought here from Valencia,
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics of the dis
ease. In 1889 and 1890 an epidemic
of Influenza, starting somewhere In the
Orient, spread first to Russia and
thence over practically the entire civ
tlized world. Three years later there
was another fiare-up Of the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide
iy over the United States.
I, nAItboilgh the present epidemic is
called Spanish influenza there is No
reason to believe that 1t originated in
Spain. Some writer's who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at
tention to the fact that the Germans
mention the disease as occurring along
the eastern front In the summer and
fall of 1917" ~

PEACE FAR OFF
SAYS WAR EXPERT.
BY Frank Simonds.

New York-Many, many months
will elapse before the signatures are
written under the definite peace
terms.
First of all it is necessary to find
German government with which to
negotiate In any event, no govern
ment can be more than provisional
until there has been German cleo
ton, a submission of the new order
to the people.
lies hesitate to do business lest it be
repudiated later by the people. But
an election can hardly. come before
the Rehabilitation, before the evac-
uation of the regions to be occupied
by the allies; least of all can it come
before the German chaos has settled
into some form of order.
We have to reconstruct the maps
of Europe, Asia and Africa and re-
order the relations between the ma
lions of the world We have to Gre
ate new countries and we have to re-
write to the international law govern
ing countries in their dealings here
tofore. In word, we have to free
the smaller peoples and to construct
league of nations. The conflict be-
tween various claims is bound to be
sharp.
