Most authorities now agree that what
we call Spanish Influenza is simply the old
fashioned grip, which was epidemic here
in 1sS0-0O. The influenza germs enter
through the nose and mouth and attack
the lining Of the air passages-nose, throat
and bronchial tubes.
There is no cure or specific for this dis
ease. but Nature viii throw on the attack.

ION this question OF the centraliza-
ton Of all authority and especially
that Of including legislative action in

definitely. think there will eventually
be only one opinion. Never before In
our history has so much power been
centered In the President as exists
Both the Republican and Democratic
parties have agreed that this was the
necessary thing TO do in time OF war.
But certainly the Republicans win not
consent, and II Is doubtful II the ma
iorlty OF the Democras will consent TO
an Indefinite continuation OF this CEN
tralized authority. Certainly the ma
tion VIII not consent to take its legls-
lative functions from the hands OF
Congress and place them IN the hands
OF the President. II the Overman bill
giving the President power TO appoint
a Commission on Reconstruction were
passed, the sole function OF such a
commission would be 10 investigate
the subject and then recommend TO
the President legislation which he, in
turn might recommend 10 Congress.
Il would then be necessary for Congress
70 make its own independent investi-
cation and decide for itself whether
or not II desired 10 accept the recon-

Therein lies the opportunity for

bill, II passed. would almost inevitably

President appointed, on his commits

that several Congresses will have 20

them by the Constitution. Congress
should now exercise its inherent func-

NEW YORK, Oct. 25-The New

Schurman, President Of Cornell
University, who has just returned
from Europe where he visited the
French, American and British
fronts, has authorized the publl-
cation OF the following interview,
inspired by his extended oppor-
tunlty TO observe domestic condl-
tons In England and France:
In England found that a Ministry
of Reconstruction has been working for
more than two years. II has a great
many subcommittee, and through the
work OF the members Of these CON-
mittees, legislation has already been
enacted. In England there has been an
EFFORT 10 prepare herself for the after

Germany Is much further along even

Therefore, I was very much con-

problems OF Reconstruction. ] do not

Sane preparation for peace. While
% may be that peace Is yet some dis
lance on, stlll feel that we have al

soon after l returned was told
that two bills had been introduced IN
our Congress, aiming TO cover this
problem Of Reconstruction. AZ first

matter might be amply attended to
However, ] found on examination that
one Of these bills nullifed the other

at this time, as ! take II. is to 4ace

row of the country's necessities, in the
hands OF a Joint committee repre-
sentlng both parties. II provides that
the best brains and the best visions OF
both parties be utilized In properly
considering all tho evidence that may
be bdought forward In the experience
OF other countries, as well as in the
experience OF our own. II provides
that the best and most complete light
may be shed upon these questions be-
fore they are settled so that when they
are settled the program on which the
country enters in the after-war period
VIII not be a program Of experiment,
half baked program OF part theory and
part undlgested practice: but that II
may be instead the enlightened TWEEN
tieth century program OF the nation
whose ability. force and wealth should
make it the first leader OF the word.
There is but one way In which the
solution Of tho Reconstruction prob
lens can be made non-partlsan. That
Is by making them bipartisan. They
can be made bipartisan only through
the enactment OF some such measure
as this Republican Weeks resolution.
Otherwise Reconstruction will be a
party problem, or possibly even less
than a party problem; possibly a prob
lem for a certain limited influence
within the Democratic party"
