LIE INFLUENzA.

The influenza pandemic has been a fearful thing. LIS
ravages in the world Immediately around is sad to con
template. In Lake county alone it is estimated that fully
200 deaths are directly or indirectly attributable to it.
Few households have gone by untouched by influenza
and probably az many as have died have had narrow
squeaks from death because of It,
Hundreds Of communities over the nation are pay
ing the penalty for procrastination in dealing with the
disease and the number OF victims has increased so rap
idly that at last drastic steps are being taken.
Thousands of our fine soldier boys have died at army
camps and cantonmenF. The latest reports from the
surgeons generals office unfortunately indicate thar the
disease is as yet unchecked in army camps, and the gov
eminent has considered ii necessary 10 issue a warning
TO the effect that ali possible steps should be taken 10
prevent conditions from becoming even worse through
out the country. Il is said that reports have been re
ceiyed showing the presence Of the disease in every one
of our states except five. The condition at our national
capital, with its overcrovded Offices. hotels and dwell
ings. has become so serious that extraordinary precau-
lions are being taken-orders having been issued for the
immediate closing Of theaters, dance halls, moving pic
ture houses, etc. The Washington schools have already
been closed, and the time Of opening stores ana public
Offices is also being regulated in order TO avoid danger
Gus crowded conditions on street cars. The hospitals are
already filed to capacity and two buildings have been
taken over by the government 10 be used for the treat
ment of war workers. Unfortunately the condition in
Washington seems to be a fair example Of the situation
IN overcrowded districts in many other parts Of the coun
try, and there is need for complete cooperation on the
part of the public authorities aud people generally wher
ever the disease appears.
Those who have not had the disease should exer
else the greatest vigilance ard the minutest care. There
is no great need for panic, but if everyone watches his
bodily health. lives a clean and careful life. the pan
demic ought 10 reach its peak this week and recede.

expected places. Who, for instance, would have imag
ned such a military miracle as The Czecho-slovak cam.
paign in Siberia?
The collapse of Russia left stranded in that country
many thousand Czechs and OF
races numbering about 1%0.000O.00o and inhabitng Bobe-
mia, Morsvia. Austrian Silesia and northern Hungary.
They were refugees from Austria-Hungary and prisoners
captured from the Austro-H Hungarian army. in which they
fought unwillingly. Finding themselves free amid the
Russian chaos they decided to help the allies.
They could not reach the allied front without travel
ing around the world. Some attempted that very thing.
Others, the majority, decided that they could render cf-
fective service where they we're.
They organized themselves into an army. and under
took 90 wrest the Trans-Siberian railroad from the Boil
sheviki. Fellow countrymen and sympathizers focked TO
their standard. In mysterious ways they accumulated
arms and ammunition. They now number 100000 fighting
men, hold 500 miles of that great railway. and are gain
ing territory so rapidly that they hold out the hope OF
mastering all Siberia.
That would open the way to a march to Berlin from
the Pacific. An AmericanJapanese army may yet strike
the kaiser on his eastern front while the allied armies in
France are sweeping over the Rhine.

GOOD WORK OF JEWISH WOMEN.

The Jews have always made good soldiers in the
worlds wars of liberation. In the present war Of democ
racy. American Jews have a brilliant record, having sup
piled a larger percentage of soldiers than is proportion
ate with their population. But what about the Jewish
women How have they answered the call of their
country A writer in the American Weekly Jewish
News asks these questions and proceeds to answer them
as follows:
Open the door of any Red Cross unit; YOU will find
a goodly percentage of Jewish women sewing. folding
and stitching the varied assortment of surgical dressings
and hospital garments that are so badly needed over
there Go to almost any exemption board; YOU viii
find the Jewish women making out missionaries. FL
ing cards, addressing envelopes, and doing their share
Of the tedious routine work that is so necessary to
launching the second draft. Ask the food administration
about the cooperation it has had from the Jewish Won
en-; it viii tell you not only of the many thousands who
are obeying its dictates willingly and gladly, but also of
the many enthusiastic, patriotic women who in the big
cities climbed the steps of the tenements day in ara day
out in order to explain to their sisters in the tenements
just why the food pledges must be signed and obeyed.
The work that the Jewish women of American have
done for the Liberty loan has been invaluable. Hun.
dreds of women have turned statesmen for the government.
and very good workers they have made too. One of the
most active members of the Central Liberty Loan com
mittee for the metropolitan division during the last loan
was Mrs. Daniel Guggenhein. She gave her time and
energy 70 selling bonds and was successful TO the amount
Of $916.850.

AND THEY wouLD Tack PEACE.

An American, who was recently captured on the
west front and whose body was full of shrapnel, was
examined By a doctor and forced 70 work behind the
front lines. although the doctor said:
That's due 10 your President Wilson.
Other recent reports state that Americans are
having a bad time and made to do all the dirty
work in the prison camps. Some American flyers
also have been roughly treated.
Russians in the camps. who are dying by thou
sands of disease and starvation, are being given
%overdoses of morphine and cocaine TO solve the
problem Of death by staryation-News dispatch.
And yet there are those in this country who woulC
negotiate peace with these fends.
There are those who would actually talk peace witt
such seoundrels whose crimes. whose moral depravity
and inherent vileness has made them the mental anC
moral prostitutes of all the ages and the willing murder
ers OF millions of men, women and children.

INDIANA is ovERsuescRIeED.

Indiana Saturday scored another success in its war
activities by having subscribed more than its allotment
for the fourth Liberty loan, the magnificent sum Of
S116,7 10000. The campaign started September IS and
notwithstanding the handicap of a ban on public meet
and the adverse psychological effect of the successful
advance of the allied forces against the Huns, progressed
steadily to successful conclusion. Indiana is believed
TO have been one of the first, if not the first state in the
nation to have actually sold and distributed her share Of
the bonds. Although only one of 80 counties Lake coun-
" sold onetenth of the entire amount.

WELL. IT'S NICE WEATHER FOR 1T.

A phrase in The New York Times military experts
last article is this. referring to General Foch's plans:
"Psychologically, it is the intention of the French com
mander to instill into the German mind the habit of
defeat; that is. getting them use to it, and not expecting
anything else. And so in the battle of life, il is a great
misfortune to anyone TO be continually expecting defeat,
for what is expected usually comes to pass. A persons
circumstances generally arrange themselves in harmony
with ones outlook. And so General Fochs keeps knock
ing the Germans every day, in order to make them used
to defeat, for that only means that the time is coming
when the final defeat arrives. Foch is the worlds leading
psychologist.
