SCARLET FEVER

While scarlet fever may be con-
tracted at any time of life it is usu-
alIy the little children who fall vic
tins to this disease. Yet strange to
saw babies are not as liable to the
disease as the older children. 1t is
children between the ages or f1ve
and ten years who are the most
likely to "come down" with the NAL
ady,
which in spite of much EFFORT mas not
been seen and isolated so that 1T can
be studied outside the body.
The only known source of scarlet
fever is not communicable to ami
mails, it is not possible to produce
the disease at will, under conditions
which can be controlled, and to
study the life and action Of the
germ.
The only known source of scarlet
fever is a victim of the fever from
whom the germ in various ways, and
germs have many, passes to other
persons and sets up the disease IN
those who are unable to resist the
attack.
These germs Turk in the secretions
of the throat, the nose, the mouth
and the ears and wherever this ma
Sterial is deposited the germs also
are sure to be there.
AS the secretions are most pro-
fuse during the height of the attack,
the patient is most dangerous at
that time, but the danger is so
great during the entire illness that
measures to prevent the spread Of
the germs from the patient should
at no time be neglected.
Scarlet fever germs are also be-
heved to be thrown off by the skin
and hy discharges of the bowels ana
lxidneys. which consequently must
be regarded as dangerous
The germs are persistent little
mites and are said to remain alive
for months and even wears, II pro-
tected from sair and light.

fever is suspected until the patient

one should do all in his power to

CHANCE TO END 1T.

TN accepting the proposal for an evacua-
ton Of occupied territories the German gov
eminent has started from the assumption
that the procedure Of this evacuation and of
the conditions of an armstice should be left
to the military advisors and that the actual
standard OF power both sides in the field
has to form the basis for arrangements safe
guarding and guaranteeing this standard. .
"The German government suggests to the
President that an opportunity should be
brought about for fixing the details. 1t trusts
that the President Of the United States will
approve Of no demand which would be ir
reconciIable with the honor Of the German
people and with opening way to peace of
Justice.
The way is open for President Wilson to
break off this interchange of notes with the
Imperial German government, which is
rapidly becoming a nightmare to Ameri-
cans and a severe embarrassment to our
Alies-for after all, you know, our Allies
have little something to say about the
ending Of this war and the terms of peace
and armistice.
The foregoing extracts from the Ger
man peace reply-the latest one received
yesterday-permit the President to say in
effect: "All right, apply to Marshal Foch
for an armistice, but remember | said
nothing about German military advisers
being consulted, only Allied military ad-
svisers."
The terms for an armistice should in
clude the rehabilitation of the German
army, the evacuation of all occupied ter
ritories, the surrender as a hostage only,
of all German territory to the bank of the
Rhine, and the turning over of the entire
German navy, submarines and all, as
guaranty that the German government
will live up to the terms of peace finally
decided upon.
Germany probably could get an armis-
tice within twenty hours, on such
terms as that.
President Wilson is getting into the
very net that Senator Lodge saw spread
before him, and against which he warned
him. We have begun to "haggle" with
Germany. She is even permitted to discuss
with us whether or not she has committed
atrocities, and that in the face of the
''spurlos versenkt" letters of Count Lux
burg. Willy-nilly we are being dragged
into peace conference in which President
Wilson is playing a lone hand and repre-
senting all the allied government. How
ever great our faith may be in the Presi-
dent, he cannot assume such responsibility.
Nor is it right that he should decide the
purely military question of an armistice.
1t should be left to the allied war council
or Marshal Foch to state the terms that
would assure an unconditional surrender.
Then the peace parley can begin, with
Germany as a spectator.

OF course we knew that all these institutions
had been used for political purposes by Mr.
Townley, but we hadn't heard he had CONNER

corporation commercializng the insane asylums?
Great Britain and France have each lost more
than 1000, 900 men in this The United States
has lost, to date about 10000 men killed. 1t
would seem that Great Britain and France
should have something to say regarding armis-
tice terms
What has become Of the German war reports
these days The German high command hasn't
"triumphantly placed outside lines" any
French cities for many days, nor has 1t through

succeeded even in making an unconditional sur

must not ouch anything outside the

If these precautions are taken
promptly the disease may be con-
fined to one room. AS the other
children may already have the
germs, they should be kept at home,
preferably outside in the yard, until
the doctor comes. They should not
be sent to school or to the neighbors,
and under no circumstances should
they be sent to watch the sick child.

Congratulations to the Fargo chapter of

It has taken hold Of most distressing
and critical situation in a most thorough
and efficient manner
The Fargo women, on whom the burden
of caring for the influenza patients fell,
were most inadequately trained for the
work. 1t was an unaccustomed job to
them, but nobody would have guessed it.
They learned while they acted. The Red
Cross chapter now has the work we'll or
ganized and the volunteer workers are
meeting the many calls upon them in a
most business-like and efficient way 1t is
an unpleasant, at times thankless, danger
GUS, but very necessary job, and the women
who are doing the work are entitled to the
deepest gratitude of the people of Fargo.
