MONKEYS ESCAPE SPANISH
INFLUENZA, SAYS EXPERT
BY J. n. GROVE.

uses much better judgment in TAX
ing care of himself. or else some
one else does it. and therefore. he
rarely suffers from the common all
ments which characterize the hu-
man race.
Besides. 1t was learned. monkeys
living as they do a perfectly mon
keyish natural life. with the ex-
ception of being locked up. they are
not apt to make good breeding
grounds for unfriendly germs which
attack man who does something or
other to excess and thereby invites
the germs to gain a foothold in his
system.
No, the monkeys are safe. The
monkey house will be open tomor-
row when the crowds are not so
large. And Furthermore. the scien-
lists say. no self-respecting monkey
would allow an influenza germ TO
occupy the same cage. Other
germs" which can be seen, are
welcome. but not the germ OF the
Spanish influenza.

and Sarah E. Smith. 20, 345 V street
northwest.
With the crisis Of the epidemic sp-
preaching. the city faces a dearth u
physicians. The number of practic-
ing doctors have been greatly de-
pleted during the last few months by
enlistments for army service. This
left a small number of physicians to
cope with the increased population OF
Washington under the most favorable
health conditions. With this abnor-
NAL need Of medical advice on the
part of the stricken people, the re-
manning physicians have had a great
burden placed upon them. They are,
in many cases. unable to answer their
calls for many hours.
Many Nurses Needed.
Nurses, too. are needed in greater
numbers than they can possible be
supplied. In spite of the many who
have volunteered for this service,
the requests cannot be met. Com
missioner Brownlow asked that the
home nurses be used in the city
before an attempt is made to supply
other districts with nurses.
The Chesapeake and Potomac tel
ephone system has been greatly
hampered by the many operators
who are at home i'll with the epi-
demic. Officials of the company
state that approximately eighteen
per cent of the girls have been
stricken. They are being cared for
by physicians of the company and
every safeguard is being taken to
prevent the spread of the disease
among the employees.
Attend War Personnel.
The enlisted and civilian person
mel of the Army and Navy depart
nents are receiving the most care
full medical attention. Every effort
is being made to prevent the gov
ernment departments from being
seriously handicapped through the
illness of their STATS. Visiting
nurses are now being sent out to
report on the condition of each war
worker who is absent through ILL
ness.
All suspected cases OF Spanish in
fluenza in the personnel of the Navy
Department are receiving immediate
care. Surgeon General w. C. Brais-
ted, U. s. N, has issued an order
that all persons suffering from cold
be sent home and that a close watch
be kept of the physical condition of
all the enlisted and civilian persons
in the department

MOVE TO HELP
RUSSIAN TRADE
War Trade Board Will Re.
ceive Applications to
Export Goods.

The frst definite step looking to-
ward the establishment OF economic
relations with Russia was taken by
The United States yesterday.
The War Trade Board, In a new
ruling. announced that beginning to-
day applications will be considered for
the expectation OF all commodities 70
Russia
There has been practically no trade
between Russia and the United states
since Germany. through the treachery
of the Bolshevik chiefs, Denine and
Trotsky, gained control OF the Rus
sian army and complete domination
Of the internal affairs of that be-
trayed country.
The signIfcance of the announce
u1ent by the War Board lies in the
fact that it evinces a determination
Of the government to begin at the
earliest possible moment the opening
M OF general trade with Siberia and
the Archangel district, which have
successfully resisted German force
and influence.
Exporters of general merchandise
ara invited to 1le their applications
with the Bureau Of Exports in Wash
inxron. This does not mean tha'
,hfpments on any extensive scale will
oegin Immediately. as the scarcity ol
freight tonnage Is still almost az
great a drawback as 1t has been IT
he past few months.
Cargo space on Pacific.
RiIt American vessels are regularly
. saving the Pacific Coast with sup
plies for vladiyostok, and the pros
pecs is held out to exporters OF find
inga limited amount Of cargo space
for commercial commodities aboard
them. In allocating space prefer
ence will be given to material COW
cred by license issued on and after
today.
The underlying purpose Of the ne"
rule is to obtain in a general way
an Inventory OF the merchandise
made up and ready for shipment
now, in the hands of American ex-
porters and suitable for introduc-
tioH,in the sections of Russia where
the United States and our allies are
dominant
The War Trade Board for several
mouths has been making a thorough
study Of the economic needs of Rus
sia and desires to be in a position
to facilitate American shipments as
soOti as the necessary cargo space
Is aYailable.

SUFFRAGISTS START
SENATE PICKET LINE

Women suffragists will today estab-
lish a picket line around the Senate
side Of the Capitol and with EN-

Such was the substance of a re-
ply by Superintendent Hollister of
the Geological Park last night to
the report that the monkeys in the
ZOO" were down in bed with the
Spanish influenza.
Although monkeys have ailments
similar to their human counter
parts" remarked Mr.. Hollister,
those we have in our charge are so
well-guarded and taken care of,
that an influenza germ would only
be wasting it's time in the Zoo"
To prevent any possible chance OF
infection, superintendent Hollister
ordered the houses which shelter
the birds, monkeys and lions closed
yesterday thus preventing the
spread of the disease by large
crowds of people who usually gath
er at the ZOO" on Sundays.
Doctors who have studied the
habits and failings OF monkeys state
that although a monkey can con-
tract the same diseases as a man. he

For Liberty Loan

Secretary McAdoo has received from
Mr.. E. G. Simmons, president of the
American Life Convention. a copy OF
resolution adopted at the 1913 an
nual meeting of the convention. held
at Chicago.
The resolution calls attention to the
fact that the British government has
requested British life insurance COM
panies to invest twenty per cent OF
their assets in British war loans, and
pledges the companies comprising the
American Life Convention to invest
in liberty bonds mot only twenty per
cent of their assets, but any such
amount as may be necessary"
The American Life Convention is
composed of 1l3 American legal re-
serve life insurance companies domi'
ciled in thirty-four States. These com.

$500 900, 900.

Preventing Industrial Accidents.

BY educating workmen, industrial
accidents can be largely prevented
according TO c. W. Price. field secre-
tary Of the National Safety Council,
Speaking before an audience in Seat
tie. Wash, recently, Mr.. Price SAID;
Education OF the workingman has
prevented about S. per cent OF the
accidents usual in certain plants.
About one-third can be controlled by
mechanical provisions. The manager
and superintendent Of a plant must
believe thoroughly in the sstety-hrsi
movement; forenen also must up
hold it"
1t was pointed out that In every
The Washington herald., 1918-10-07

plant there should be a man who
studied safety methods and had power
to apply them. Mr.. Price declared
also that every plant should tell hy
word and picture on a bulletin board
all minor accidents and ths. a COM
mittee OF workingmen should be al
pointed TO investigate snd report en-
all accidents.

bottled up. and exterminating the
U-boat assassins.
"On this day the American people
should pour out their money for the
fourth liberty loan with the thought
that each dollar is a fighting dol
lar to strengthen and sustain a
fighting navy.
We who stay at home cannot
fire shots at German submarines;
but we can all help float the liberty
loan. If we take care of the float
ing. the navy will take care of the

by the children and other members
OF the family. At another the bank
account of the head of the family
amounted to only s4S9, and he drew
check for this amount and gave
it to the solicitor with IL cents in
change. One aged colored washer
woman told the solicitor that her

At another humble home a woman

but said she wanted to give the 81 TO
the government. The canvasser is in
vesting It In war savings stamps for
her.
The canvassers were unanimous IN
their reports of courteous treatment
accorded them by everyone and of a
desire on the part OF the people gen.
orally to be. helpful in making the
work pleasant and easy. In thou
sands of homes men and women had
checks drawn and ready to present to
the canyassers when they called,
while others had the cash readily ac-
CessibIc.
Another remarkable evidence Of the
spirit of cooperation on the part OF
the people was the fact that at prac-
ticaiiy livery home the canvassers
found the dwellers in and waiting for
them. After l o'clock. when the can
vass started, the streets were prac-
tically deserted, and those few indi-
viduals who did not wait to receive
the bond statesmen, almost without
exception. wore Fourth Liberty Loan
buttons.
High Percentage of Buyers.
Yesterdays canvass was the first
time an accurate means had been
provided of asceTtaining the per-
centage of adults who subscribed to
any liberty loan. The result will
show that more than ninety-nine
per cent. of the adults OF any earn
ing capacity bought bonds of the
fourth liberty loan.
At liberty loan headquarters last
night the committee and several
dozen volunteers worked until mid
night, receiving reports of the more
than 200 team captains. After re-
porting to headquarters they turned
in their subscriptions, together with
the cash collected, to Richard w.
Hynson, chairman of the subcom-
mittee on clearances, who, with a
dozen or more volunteers. worked
at top speed, checking. asserting
