INFLUENZA ON WANE
Cold Weather Halls Spread
of Disease. School win
Open December 80.

With the advent of real winter
weather the past week, the influenza
epidemic which struck Eagle River
quite severely the last few weeks, has
subsidized Few new cases have been
reported. Two weeks ago there were
close to one hundred cases in this
community. This week there were
only sixty-fye and they were recover
ing rapidly. Most of the cases were
mild and no deaths occurred.
The sudden change to winter
weather which occurred on Thanks
giving Day and has continued unin-
terruptedly since is, in a large meas
'ure, responsible for the decline of the
epidemic. On that day eight inches
of snow fell and more has been COM
ing since until there is at present all
of a foot covering the ground.
Local schools were badly interfered
with owing to the epidemic. They
were closed for three weeks during
the first run of the disease in this

WEARING THE UNIFORM
What the Law Says About
Wearing Uniform After
Boys Reach Home.

When the soldiers come home the
first thing they will want to know
will be:
MAY we continue to wear our uni
forms?''
The thing dearest to soldiers heart,
next to home and mother, is his uni
form. The boys will hate to go back
to civilian clothing.
OF course the law proscribes the
wearing of army or navy uniforms by
civilians, and-attaches $500 fine and
six months imprisonment to the Of
Tense. But here is good news for the
officers and enlisted men:
OFFICERS.
After his honorable discharge from
the army, navy or marine corps, a
commissioned officer may wear the
uniform Of the highest grade he has
held on occasions Of ceremony.
This means that at public recep-
lions, dinners, balls, mass meetings
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1918-12-06

and other similar functions, any Of
ficer above the grade Of ensign or
lieutenant may wear the uniform OF
his rank.
There is no time limit in the law,
so that if he likes he may wear the
uniform to a meeting of World War
veterans so years from now. He cam
not. however, wear his uniform to
business or for pleasure.
ENLISTED MEN.
The law as applied to enlisted men
of any branch of the service is not so
considerable. It permits enlisted men
to wear the uniform for three months
after the date of discharge; after that
they cannot wear it without risk OF
arrest anal imprisonment.
The law specifies that the enlisted
man may wear his uniform ''from the
place of his discharge 10 his home,
within three months after the date OF
his discharge.
This would indicate that if the sol
dier stays in the town Of his discharge
for three months, he may wear the
un. form all that time, but that when
ever he goes home he must adopt
civilian GARD. The purpose was to
give him time TO obtain an outfit OF
civilian clothing.
But the war department., it is be-
lieyed, will be inclined TO wink the
eye at literal violations Of the rule Sc
long as the soldier is not ught
wearing the uniform alter his three
months exp re.
So when your boy comes home he
may feel perfectly safe in wearing the
khaki for tie admiration OF his ian l.
" and friends until three months
from the date of his discharge.

That graves Of soldiers killed in
the European war are to be cared
for until the bodies are brought
back to the United States for
burial ard that definite plans are
being made for return of the
bodies is shown by an official COM
munication received by Adjt. Gen.
Holway, as follows:
"You are advised that it is the
intention of the government to re-
turn to the United States the
bodies of our soldiers, sailors, ma
rines and civilian employees who
were so unfortunate as to meet
death abroad, when conditions are
such to warrant the undertaking,
which will probably not be for
some little time. In the mean
time, organizations known as
grave registration units are looking
after the care of our temporary
military cemeteries in France. Due
publicity will be given the general
public when the work of the trans
fer of the bodies to the United
States is begun

A DELICATE SITUATION
The Milwaukee Journal Sees
Danger in World Boy
colt Of Germany.

Sane people will not be impressed
with the widespread propaganda
which has been set on foot in this
country TO wage an economic war
upon Germany Immediately upon the
signing of terms of peace. Any dis
position to make the terms Of peace
to Germany less hard than justice de
mands cannot be too strongly con-
demned. The allied world will also,
before renewing normal intercourse
with Germany, be disposed to wait
for evidences Of the stability of the
new democratic regime and for guar
antees of Germany's future good be-
hayior But with these conditions
fulfilled, allied peoples cannot, with
out injury to themselves, exclude the
German people from participation in
world trade.
Germany will need for her rehabiti-
tation first; food, which the raising
of the block ade will enable her to
get; second, raw materials, so that
she may resume her industries and
give employment to her people; and
third, markets in which TO sell her
manufactured products.
Few people will deny that Ger
many must have the opportunity to-
provide her people with food. The
Importation Of raw materials and the
resumption of industry is hardly less
necessary Germany will be required
to pay an enormous bill of repara-
tion She cannot pay it in specie,
because she has only a relatively
small amount Of it. She can only
pay in exported manufactured pro-
ducts If the world, animated by
feelings of hatred and revenge. will
not buy of her, she cannot pay. That
is the practical statement Of the case
which no amount of protest can
evade.
Those who say that we must not
buy German goods must also say that
we cannes Sc goods to Germany. In
international trade sellers must be
buyers. Exports pay for imports. A
starved, outcast Germany shut out
from economic dealings with other
nations, will be a world economic
liability. She will be G political LA
bility, as we'll, for her situation will
be desperate, and desperation will
make her a menace to the worlds
peace and order. The rebuilding of
her industry and commerce, on the
other hand, will be an advantage to
the rest of the world, for it must be
remembered that her 70.060,000 peo-
pie are consumers as well as prodnc-
ers.
| 1t is quite understandable that peo-
pie should feel a repuision to the
idea of entering into normal rela-
tions with a nation with SO black a.
RECORD as Germany's. The recollec-
tion of German commercial trickery
| in the years before the war will also
| operate to her prejudice. And yet,
from the prac tical considerations
which we have stated, it must be-
clear tha5 boycott against Germany
