President of the Board OF Health.

Wilmington IS in the grip Of Spanish
influenza, although the malady has not
been accompanied by the fatalities IN

epidemic in many other cities. The
rawness in the air the past two days
has caused an outbreak OF colds, which
have developed into the influenza, and
in some cases the disease has pro-
gressed into pneumonia. the most dan
gerous stage.
Physicians were kept busy yesterday
and today treating their patients suf-
fering with colds and the grippe, and
advising them 10 take all precautions

has prevailed for some little time past"
The very last thing that America can
afford to do in this national crisis is
to place the burden of the war upon
her children, who are her future citi-
zens and upon whom she depends for
the health and prosperity of the ma
ton. The war must be fought and the
work at home must be done-but at ali
costs not done by the children. The
experience of other nations has taught
US that.
The Federal law did not deprive the
states of any power to regulate con-
ditions of labor in factories whose
products were consumed within their
own boundaries, but claimed that all
interstate shipments should be con-
trolled by the Federal government If
children were employed in their manu-
facture. The. few months during which
the national law has been in operation
have brought out some of the advan-
tages of a uniform law in very
marked way. The law was designed not
only to protect the child, but to protect
also the American manufacturer; with
a uniform law for all the states an
employer of child labor may no longer
underbid another manufacturer at the
expense of the children. 1t was de-

Finally, we are coming to realize
with increasing clearness that educa-
ton has become the affair of the en-
tire nation, and that the illiterate citi-
zens of one state are menace not only
to their own state but to every state
IN the Union. The Federal govern
ment gives large grants of lands and
money to the states to aid education;
but how, one may ask, can children
attend school and work eleven hours
in mill or factory? 1t isn't humanity
o. mathematicalIy possible
II ia rare that the trainers of a new
bill can have foreknowledge OF the
actual working of the principles of
their lsw. But those who draw up the
next Federal child labor bill will know
for fact that Federal control of child
labor aOorks. The means cannot be the
control through interstate commerce..
but that some means be found, and
that speedily, is demanded by the ex-
ceptional condition of to-day and by an
aroused public opinion.
The people Of the United States de-
mand that all the children be protected
from long hours, accident and disease
not only for humanitarian purposes
but also because Americas welfare and
the future of her industry are at stake

What is going to happen now that

case. They have outlined a pro-
gramme the draft of which is at
tribu+ed to Mr.. Sidney Webb. That
document, as | recall it, recognizes
that weaker races must be assisted
and protected by the organized con-
science of mankind.
In the cases of the Philippines
Americans have realized this and
have accepted administrative respon-
sibility. Few Americans welcomed
that task. Many would even now
like to be relieved Of it, but the
brotherhood of man is a doctrine
which carries with it inevitably the
white mans burden. That ought not
to be a burden laid by the white mar.
on the shoulders of others, but a bur-
den lifted by the white man onto his
own shoulders. We who live in great
lv favored lands should bear our part
in carrying away superstitions,
prejudices, cruelties, miseries Of
others who are still stumbling
through darkness to light.
In this spirit, let US consider GER
tain actual problems which will con-
front the Allies when the war is
ever. There is China, which country
has been a prey for profiteers. DR.
Culick suggests that any properly
constituted league of nations should
contain special commission to deal
with concessions granted in China
often as result Of bribery. Inter
national assistance is thus what
China needs.
