the disease has now manifested itself
as an epidemic that bids fair to break
all records for contagion. and serious
ness of the situation is matter for
consideration, Preventive measures
must be taken without delay.
Each day $ report seems to be more
alarming, But the determination to
vanquish such virulent disease
must not be abandoned. Eastern
cities have fought and stnrggled with
the disease for months before posi-
tive signs were available that the
epidemic was slowly dying out.
The influenza has proved To be a
treacherous disease. Many people
who have contracted 1t quickly re-
covered from 1t but some Of the most
rugged physical types of individuals
have succumbed. Medical science
has so far failed to fnd either pre-

Dispatches to the state department
late today from Stockholm stated
that the Swedish newspapers at Hell
singfors had received a dispatch from
Petrograd saying that the Bolshevik
element are conducting reign of
terror and have murderedd five hum
dred former army officers. 1t is
stated that the interned foreigners in
Petrograd are in precarious situa-
ton. No Americans are in Petro-
grad. The advices relating to the
wholesale massacres In the streets of
Petrograd were forwarded by the
Petrograd correspondent to a. news
paper published at Helsingfors. 1t is
indicated that affairs are going from
bad to worse and that Chaos is near.
Another dispatch received by the
state department from Riga and
dated November Is stated that 1850
German soldiers. including forty-fve
officers, are in danger of starvation
at Moscow. These men were former
ly prisoners who have been released
without means of subsistence and
with no provision for their return to
Germany. The Russian government
is unable to provide them with food,
as it is feared that the working
classes would rise against officials
who might provide aid.

LONDON, Nov. 23.-The first of
the American troops to return from
Europe sailed from Liverpool today.
The allied armies, meantime, con-
tinued their march to German soil to
be occupied until after the peace
treaty is finally concluded.
The Austrian republican leaders
are reported alarmed over the con-
servatives propaganda aimed at re-
storing ex-Emperor Karl on the
throne. Efforts also are reported
under way in the provincial towns to
form anti-republican organizations.
There is a growing uneasiness in
well-informed quarters tending to the
belief that the new German govern
ment is merely form of camou-
tagged autocracy. Some observers be-
lieve that. after all. the German plea
for an armistice may have been
granted prematurely, and that 1t would
have been better had Foch been al
lowed to carry on" until Germany
was invaded and the Kaiser, the
princess and the high command had

The deceased was the son Of Mr.. and

He was 23 years old. He had been
in the service of his country for less
