One of them is the influenza cpl
demic that has swept this country
and has not yet finished its ravages.
The victorious Flu" is already
credited with approximately 100000
deaths in the United States, accord
ing to reports, and the list may
reach almost half-million before
the invasion is ended. Our Flu"
casualties, or cases of illness vary
ing in degree, are vastly greater
than all our war casualties, and
more disastrous in effects than the
wounds of our soldiery.
1t would have been humiliating.
as we'll as saddening, to suffer so
many deaths and injuries from an
invasion of the enemy. 1t should
be hardly less humiliating to suffer
them, as we have done, from an in
vading epidemic. Contagious disease
can be kept out of country no less
surely than an armed foe, If proper
defensive measures are taken.
1t would seem that the ones most
to blame for the rapid spread of the
disease are the United States health
officials and the war department.
These departments made but weak
effort to check the disease when
ships from Europe landed on our
Atlantic seaboard. The disease first
appeared in the eastern cities and
was rapidly carried westward by the
trains, spreading over the central
states, and then hit the Pacific coast
until now it covers the whole coun-
try like a blanket.
There was sufficient warning; the
disease carried off thousands, in
Europe, yet our government was
caught mapping and the influenza
broke through the government health
guard like a Foch offensive against
thin skirmish line. 1t is asserted
that on Goat Island near San Fran
cisco, where 1000 soldiers are sta
toned, not one case of influenza ap-
peared. But on Goat Island disin-
fectants were used and incoming
persons isolated for certain period.

RED CROSS SUPPLIES.

The varied character of the supplies
which the American Red Cross pro-
vides for American soldiers and sail
ors is shown in the following list Of
articles furnished In one recent month
to our fighting men In Great Britain
10000 sweaters, 10000 toothbrushes,
$4,000 pairs of socks, $1,000 pounds Of
soap, 100000 boxes Of matches, 800
baseball outfits, 500 mouth organs,
144,0O0 packages of chewing gum,
100000 cigarettes. For handling
these supplies, the Red Cross has sew
en- warehouses in England and six In
Ireland. At the Irish stations there
are stores Of clothing, first aid outfits
and other necessaries to provide
amply for any emergency which may
arise through the torpedoing Of ships
carrying American soldiers or sailors.
If necessary, 5000 shipwrecked Amer
leans could be outfitted from head to
foot at one time from these emergency
depots. Advance arrangements have
also been made for billeting, housing
and feeding any number of men who
might unexpectedly be landed at ports
where there are no British military
camps.

ESTABLISH MODEL
FARMS IN FRANCE

A model farm has been established
by the American Red Cross at Courbet
for II has been found that farm work
is one Of the very best means Of hasten
ing the recovery Of those men suffering
from shell shock. One farm OF 500
acres has been laid out in the depart
ment Of Indre-et-Loire that Is planned
and is to be managed after the meth
DDS pursued in our own great farming
regions of the West.
Since these farms will be worked al
most entirely by the convalescent SOL
diers and those made unfit for active
service. the expense Of maintaInance
will be very little.
But the saving of human life will be
enormous. And every farmer In this
country who enrolls in the Christmas
Red Cross Roll Call will be helping In
directly to carry on this reconstruction
work among the mutilated soldiers In
France.

soLnIERs AND sTuMPs

Many expedients have been sug-
gested as to what is the best thing
we can do to make places for the re-
turning soldiers and sailors. Re-
claiming land by clearing stumps is
strongly urged by some, while irri-
CATION and draining of swamp land
is also suggested.
To face the facts squarely and
acknowledge the truth, everyone
knows that there are not any more
available public lands to give the
returning soldiers; that is, land
worth attempting to farm. There
are some lands in the west that
would make fine homesteads were
it not for the fact that they are too
remote for anyone except cattlemen
and sheepmen to tackle. Should a
farmer raise crop on such land he
would be unable to get it to market.
Reclaiming swamp land and plac-
ing other land that is reasonably
close to good roads and shipping
point under irrigation, would be a
fine proposition for the soldiers who
have been doing the fighting, for on
such lands they could make good"
But no meaner punishment-no
greater njustice-could be done our
returning soldiers than to encour-
age and persuade them to attempt
to make a living out of stump land

fessors and vendors Of stump-pull-

thing a poor man will do we'll tc

Before a poor soldier could gel

SONS OF ERIN
OBSERVE DAY

Except the occasional display of a
green tie. or a bit of shamrock, or
other emerald vegetation or ribbon,
Annapolis celebrated st. Patrick's
Day most quietly yesterday. The day
was more quietly observed this year
than usual falling as it did on Pas
sion Sunday, one of the most solemn
days in the church year.
Thoughts of the Irish in this fair
land wander to the lakes and hills of
their mother country on this day, and
this year more than ever will they
think of the valiant lads of the trench
es in France
Shamrocks are in the stores today
in profusion, but unfortunately not
the real thing, and the Irishman who
could wear a sprig of the real sham
rock from the hills of Killarney was
fortunate indeed. In the past the big
ocean liners brought much of the
plant over in time for wear on the big
day. but the German U-boats have
hurt this traffic the past few years, all
of which makes the Irish lads fight
the harder against the Kaiser.

DIR. c. A. SMITH
MAKES ADDRESS.
Is Optimistic Of Americas Sue
cess In Present Crisis. Spoke
At Presbyterian Church.

Before a congregation that filled the
church to its capacity, DR.. G. AL
phpnso Smith, of the Naval Academy.
made an address last evening at the
Service in the First Presbyterian
Church. The services were presided
over by Prof John b. White, of St
Johns College, who read the Scrip
ture Lesson from Esther, offered
prayer and introduced the speaker.
The choir and congregation sang ia
milar hymns.
DR.. Smith chose for his theme
portion of the last clause of the 14th
verse of the fourth chapter of Esther;
And who knoweth whether thou art
come to the kingdom for such a time
as this?"
With the convincing manner that
speaker has who is thoroughly famil
lar with his subject, and is convinced
of its truth DR.. Smith spoke convinc
ingly, and held the undivided atten-
ton of the large congregation. He
referred to latent, or depressed energy
as revealed in such expressions as
my Native Land" Home Sweet
Home" La Bella France" and the
like. He reviewed the doctrine set
forth in 1880 to the Germans that
Might is Right, and that in forming a
nation ones individuality is that
of the sovereign and his teachings, and
that the Kaiser today believes this
implicitly.
DR.. Smith said we all knew Right
is Right" and not Might is Right, and
we are living in an age just as Esther
was when we have come to the King
dom for SUCH a time as this. DR..
Smith is optimistic. He believes
America will win the world conflict,
and that Right will triumph over
Might
Truth must prevail he said in clos
ing for
Truth crushed to earth will rise
again,
The eternal years of God are hers,
But Error, wounded writhes in pain,
And dies amid her worshippers"
