BOXING IS MOST
PRIMITIVE SPORT
Fighter Enters Ring to Put
Other Man in the Discard;
Football Is Different.

4 IN, its essence, boxing is our most
primitive sport. Ii is conducted on the
frank hypothesis that it is often pos
sible--and desirable-for one man OF
given weight to temporarily wreck the
train of thoughts of another gentleman
Of equal poundage.
III Football is not like prizefighting
Football presumes only to move an
oval. inflated pigskin from one end of
the field to another If at times it is
necessary to use force--as it often is
in the promotion of successful play, it
must be remembered that strength is
prerequisite in all forms of athletic ex-
ercise. This does not include auction
pinpchle.
- But football does not aim TO main.
1t is fair and above board, and many
of our real, hard pugilists, who talk ont
of the side of their mouths, probably

GOOD NEWS COMES
/. FROM BATTLEFIELD
EXTENT OF GERMAN COLLAPSE
GIVES RISE TO HOPE FOR
EARLY END OF WAR.
Smashing Victory Of American Forces
North Of st. Quentin May Be Paw
ing the Way for Early Invasion :.
Of Germany Itself.

Washington.-The wholly unexpect
ed extent Of the German collapse be
tween St. Quentin and Cambrai, which
leaves, as the enemy stands today, ,
great gap torn in the center of tn,
lines that were already struggling tt
extricate themselves and get back to /
shorter front, has given rise to thu
belief here that there Is even the posi-
bility of crushing and immediate
military victory for the allies.
Should the French to the south OF
the British to the north also succeed
in breaking through before the Ger
mans can complete an extensive re
tirement, the capture Of whole enemy
army group might be realized. In the
opinion of observers here, the situation
today has almost limitless possibili.
ties, and Marshal Foch is virtually
certain to concentrate every ounce OF
power at his command in an effort to
execute a final coup.
The smashing victory Of the Anglo
American forces north of st. Quentin
may be paving the way for early in
vasion Of Germany itself. Striking
hints Of wholly new enterprise d.
rected at the upper Rhine valley have
come from unofficial quarters in
France and they follow repeated re-
ports from Switzerland that the civil
populations Of the Rhine valley towns
were being removed by the German
authorities.
Some officers here regard these re-
ports as highly significant. They give
them particular weight, because it now
appears certain that the enemy will be
forced far back all along the front in
northern France and Belgium within
the next few days. While the con-
slant hammering is kept up in the
north to pin the German armies there
1t might be possible, it was said, to de-
liver new stroke on the Alsace-Lor-
raine front that might swiftly develop
into an invasion of Germany itself by
way of the Rhine valley.
1t does not appear likely, however,
that the Rhine drive plans, If there are
such plans, will develop until the stu
alton clears in the north. Should the
German armies escape the triple trap
between Verdun and the North sea,
however, and establish line on the
Meuse front, many officers are conf
dent that the center of attack will
swing suddenly to drive into Ger
many itself by the shortest route, the
Rhine valley.

identical with the epidemics of influen-
"a of earlier years is not yet known.
"Epidemics Of influenza have visited
this country since 1647. It 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
ilized world. Three years later there
was another fare-up of the disease
Both times the epidemic spread wide
ly over the United States.
although 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"
How can spanish Influenza" be rec
ognlzed7
"There is as vet no certain way In
which single case of Spanish influ-
enza' can be recognized. On the 9TH
er hand, recognition Is easy where
there Is group Of cases. In contrast
to the outbreaks Of ordinary coughs
and colds, which usually occur in the
cold months, epidemics Of influenza
may occur at any season of the year.
Thus the present epidemic ragged most
intensely In Europe in May, June and
July. Moreover, in the case Of ordi-
nary colds, the general symptoms
(fever, pain, depression) are by no
means as severe or as sudden In their
onset as they are in Influenza. Final
~, ordinary colds do not spread
through the community so rapidly or
SO extensively as does influenza.
"ln most cases a person taken sick
with influenza feels sick rather sud-
denly. He feels weak, has pains in the
eyes, ears, head or back, and may be
sore all over. Many patients feel
dizzy, some vomit. Most of the pa
tients complain Of feeling chilly, and
with this comes fever In which the
temperature rises to 100 to 1O4. In
most cases the pulse remains relative
ly slow.
"In appearance one is struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. His
eyes and the inner side of hfs eyelids
may be slightly 'bloodshot,' or CON
gested, as the doctors say. There
may be running from the nose, or
there may be some cough. These signs
Of cold may not be marked; never
theless the patient looks and feels very
sick.
