In most of the cases the symptoms disappear after three or four days, the patient then rapidly recover 4 ing. Some of the patients, however develop pneumonia, or inflammation of the ear, or meningitis, and many of these complicated cases die. Whether this so-called Spanish influenza is s ident;c.! with the epidemics of infiuen 7 Ea of earlier years Is not yet known. this country since 1647. It Is interest ing to know that this first epidemic was brought here from, Valencia Spain. Since that time there have been numerous epidemics of the dis ease In 1889 and 1890 an epidemic i of influenza, starting somewhere in the Orient, spread first to Russia and F thence over practically the entire civ ilized world. Three years later there was another 1are-up of the disease. Both times the epidemic spread wide : ly over the United States.
 Although the present epidemic is 4 called Spanish influenza there is no E reason to believe that 1t originated in Spain. Some writers who have studied the question believe that the epidemic came from the Orient and they call at tention to the fact that the Germans 2 mention the disease as occurring along fall of 1917."
 How can Spanish Influenza" hs rec
 ognized?
 There is as yet no certain way in 8 which single case of Spanish influ- enza' can be recognized. On the oth- CT hand, recognition Is easy where i there Is group of cases. In contrast to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs < ana eelds, which usually oceuY in the cold months, epidemics of influenza may occur at any season of the year Thus the present epidemic ragged most Intensely in Europe in May, June and July. Moreover, in the case of ordi- nary colds. the general symptoms Clever, pain, depression) are by nc means as severe or as sudden in their onset as they are in influenza. Final. ly, ordinary colds do not spread through the community 30 rapidly or 80 extensively as does influenza. Tn most cases a person taken sick with influenza feels sick rather sud- denly. He feels weak, has pains in the eyes, ears, head or back, and may be sore all over. Many patients feel dizzy, some vomit Most of the pa tients complain of feeling chilly, and with this comes fever in which the temperature rises to 100 to 1O4. In ] most cases the pulse remains relative Ely slow.
 Tn appearance one is struck by the fact that the patient looks sick. His eyes and the inner side of his eyelids may be slightly 'bloodshot,' or con. gested.' as the doctors say. There may be running from the nose, or there may be some cough These signs of a cold may not be marked; never . theless the patient looks and feels very sick
 Tn addition to the appearance and the symptoms as already described,
 examination of the patients blood may

this matter. The trench war

the third week of September,
1914, was imposed upon the
Germans by their defeat, and so
far from being a complete sys-

before the outbreak of the war,

That almost inevitable tend

ferior forces which not a week
before it had regarded as mere
prey. That the defeated party
in such a catastrophe should
produce and develop q tenacious
defensive, should save what it
could and should cling to the
first opportunity for a halt, is
no more than the crude necessity
of its position. That it should
have foreseen aud prepared for

ability.

In the opinion of Minnesota State

inches In diameter may be tapped
without noticeable bad results, and
declared that the hard or sugar maple
IS not the only tree from which sap
can be reduced To sugar may be TAX

tapped. Al hole Of one-half 70 three
fourth inch should be bored ia the
trunk about two feet from the

theoretically the disappear
ance of the Eastern front as a
military factor and the release
of much of the greater part of
the men watching it should al
low the Central Powers to throw
the whole weight of their armies
into the attack or series of at
tacks upon the lines in Northern
France. But in practice this at
tack will have to rely upon Ger
man troops almost alone. The
Austrian forces have already
been heavily reduced by the
disasters which overlook them
in the early part Of the war.
Their available resources are
now mainly occupied upon the
Italian front, and economic con-
ditions throughout Austria-Hun-
gary are worse even than those
from which the German empire
now suffers. Moreover, the
civilian population is far less
homogeneous and more discon-
tented than is that in Germany
itself.
Some observers also have
argued that the new commit
ment Of the Central Empires to
action in the East, which they
assumed when they began
marching toward Petrograd in
the north and toward Kiev in
the south, will further hamper
them and deter them from any
attack iii the West. But this i'm

Germans Tire
of Poison Gas.

A detail of military interest of
some Importance in the past
week has been the efforts which
are being indirectly made by the
German government to re-estab-
lish the convention prohibiting
the use of poison gas in war.
They are working through the
Red Cross, and their motives
are obvious.
1t was they who first intro
duced this abomination in mod
ern war not quite three years
ago, when they sent a food of
yellow chlorine drifting down
toward the Allied trenches, in
April, 1915. 1t took the Allies
by surprise, and the Germans
very nearly succeeded in break
ing the Allied line with it at the
point where the British and
French armies then joined north
of Ypres. The line was only
saved by the heroism and terri
fic losses of the Canadians.
For a long time the Germans
enjoyed a complete superiority
over the Allies in this form of
attack, but the superior civiliza-
ton of the Allies in this, as in
every other experiment tried in
this war, not only caught UP
with them but passed them. The
Allies today have not only bet
ter gas (more deadly and less
easy to detect and resist, but a
better protection against gas
than the enemy, and their super
iority in this is rapidly increas-
ing.
Such are the reasons and the
only reasons for the German
move, and as its motives are as
perfectly clear as they are crude,
it will not succeed.
The belief that the Germans
ever voluntarily abandoned the
war movement In the West is
part Of a very general error into
which the present writer fell in
common with most others when
this novel development Of trench
warfare first appeared. That
error is the conception that this
new phase was part of a deliber-
ate plan already established in
the enemy's mind.
To entertain such an error
would be, as subsequent study
and evidence have proved, to
misunderstood the nature Of the
war and the psychology of the
belligerents.
Trench warfare was certainly
not foreseen by the Allies, as
certainly it was not foreseen by
the enemy. He had prepared
for it. His Just appre-
citation of the value of machine
guns and his initial overwhelm-
ing superiority therein we're bas-
ed upon the idea that the mach
inc gun would be invaluable in
the check Of local counter of
fensives and even ia the prosecu-
ton of rapid attack. It's value
for permanent defence he seized
when he was constrained to that
permanent defence. 1t is great
~ to his credit that he should SO
rapidly have appreciated the
new conditions; but he did not
plan them.
All his plan was for 3 rapid
in which he was more
OF less certain Of AN immediate

Small Force Only
Used in Russia.

Used in Russia.
The forces which the Central
Empires are now sending for
ward into the heart of what once
was Russia arc quite small. A
certain proportion of cavalry,
accompanied by artillery, is slf-
ficient for the work, support
ed as they are by the reduced
units of poor grade infantry
which have been found all that
was necessary for use on the
Eastern front in recent months.
Dvinsk, for instance, was aband-
oned without a struggle and al
ready far more than a thousand
guns, formerly provided by the
Allies to aid Russia, have been
given up without blow. There
is no real fighting.
The only task of the small in
vading armies, in fact, is the
garrisoning and policing of such
districts as Germany chooses to
have them occupy. And as the
Ukraine is already in sympathy
with the Germans, and as the
local leaders and German agents
to the north have readily sur
rendered all that was asked to
the Central Empires, the Ger
man commanders may put the
limit Of the advance of their
armies exactly wherever they
choose.
