SUPREME COURT RE-CONVENES
FOLLOWING SUMNER RECESS

Tallahassee, Oct. THE Supreme
Court re-convened this morning after
the summer recess. The docket Of
civil cases is heavier than it has been
in several years but all the judges ap-
pear in excellent health and it is
probable that rapid progress will be
made in disposing of the many pend
ing cases.
Clerk Of the Supreme Court. Hon. u.
7. Whitfield stated that among other
important matters taken up ny ne
court today were the petitions for re-
nearing filed during vacation in the
Quart a Month" liquor case and the
Crane embezziement case from Tampa.
Decisions have not yet, however, been
reached
Next week the Supreme Court will
hold the regular fall examinations of
applicants for admission to the Flor
ida bar. Because of war conditions
the class this time will be unusually
small, only about dozen have ap-
piled tn take the examinations.
The Sheffield disbarment case from
Tampa will be argued orally October
22nd and the Branch embezzlement
case for Tampa will be taken up short
ly. 1t will be some days before the
court can prepare and file opinions in
any of the cases above referred to.

Washington, Oct The notes from
Germany and Austria asking for an
immediate armistice and discussion
of peace on conditions previously laid
down by President Wilson were plac-
ed in the Presidents hands today after
he had spent the morning in his study
with versios of the communications
as cabled in press dispatches.
Formal comment was withheld ev-
cry where in official quarters pending
the Presidents decision as to what
shall be Americas reply. There was
no difference of opinion however on
one point-that there will be no sus-
pension of hostilities in the event ne
gotiations are entered into. The only
question among officials and diplomats
seemed to be whether President Will
son would be willing to ask the allies
to consider negotiations even with the
fighting continuing.
While word from the White House
was awaited the senate discussed the
latest phase of the peace offensive,
leaders on both sides of the chamber
declaring emphatically that no sus-
pension of hostilitieS should be con-
templated. Senator Lodge of Massa-
chusetts declared the only course
open was to complete the defeat of
the Germans.

plan was considered entirely feasible
by those having the relief work in
charge.
The club house is equipped with ele-
Vator, kitchen, accommodations for

the work. Physicians stated last
night that it would offer a prompt So

permitted to come to Pensacola as are

While peace talk is still in the air
there is no peace for the German and

All along the front from Rheims to

enemy has met serious reverses and
is falling back, in some places in dis
order.
East of the Argonne forest the Am

Troops of the French General Ber-

against the Germans northwest of
Rheims which adds materially to the
menace hanging over the German
front from the North Sea to the Swiss

DOCTORS DENY
WILD TALES OF
YELLOW FEVER
BACEERIOLOGY OF INFLUENZA
HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY STUDIED
AND CLASSIFIED-IS SIMILAR TO
EPIDEMIC OF 1889.

Wild rumors were current yeSter-
day that the present epidemic is a
combination of Influenza and yellow
fever. This is refuted by Paul d.
Mossman, assistant surgeon, public
health service and the physicians who
are fighting to stamp out the disease.
1t is positively stated that the dis
ease is influenza of a virulent type
and it's bacteriology has been thor
oughly studied and classified by the
medical men of this country.
In commenting on the rumors, DIR.
Clarence Hutchinson said:
Tell the people that there is Moth
ing vague nor mysterious about this
influenza-it has been with us be-
fore-the epidemic of 1889 was in ev-
cry way similar to the present one.
In the epidemic of 1889 the present
King of Spain, then a child was SER
iouSly i'll with the disease and report
has it that he was again victim in
the present epidemic, which was ram
pant in Spain during May of this
year Hence the name of Spanish"
infIuenfia.
The bacteriology of the disease has
been thoroughly studied but because
of its mixed type of infection, no po-
tent serum for it's cure has been de-
veloped. However, the disease has
been clearly studied out, identified and
ecognized-there is no mystery about
it.
The present outbreak made its ap-
pearance in the armies on the West
ern front, during May and June Of
this year. Made it's appearance in
England in July, and followed the
natural lines of travel westward, ap.
pearing on the Atlantic coast of the
United States during August and Sep
tember. 1t is now following out the
natural lines of travel throughout
the United States. Its disappearance
will probably be almost as sudden as
its outset.
These rumors of firing squads and
diSloyalty in connection with the cpl
demic are the rankest bosh"
