PIAzzAs.

A friend of mine says that there
were no piazzas in the old days be-
cause people did not want them.
They sat out on the carefully tended
lawns or among the flower beds or
under the trees. He says further that
there were no mosquitoes in those
days and that people knew enough
to come in when it rained and were
not afraid to go out in the open
when it didn't.
There is another theory according
to whichpiazzas came in with leisure.
Our ancestors didn't have time to use
them and so the old houses are with

A CHANCE FOR GERMANS

The significant thing about the
Presidents latest note to Germany,
published elsewhere in tOdays Mis-
sourian, is not his use of the word
surrender" for the first time in this
diplomatic correspondence. but the
way in which he qualities it.
1t is evident that the foremost con-
sideration in the Presidents mind is
still the characterization of Germany
as a means of making a law-abiding
citizen of the world of her. Notice the
''if": "IF the United States must deal
with the military masters or monar-
chical autocrats of Germany now, or
if it is likely to have to deal with them
later in regard to the international
obligations of the German Empire, it
must demand not peace negotiations
but surrender
So much for the kaiser But earlier
in the message President Wilson had
said, "The United States cannot deal
with any but veritable representatives
of the German people. who have been
assured of genuine constitutional
standing as the real rulers OF Ger
many"
The message is an out-and-out call
to the German people to take over
their own destinies and rid themselves
OF the kaiser and his military clique
that make up Germany's Old Man of
the Sea.
peace negotiations" is the bait held
out if the German people obey the
call: surrender" stares them in the
face if they are unable or unwilling
to.
The political reforms of which
Prince Max made so much are dis
missed as the mockery they are. at
does not appear that the heart of the
present difficulty has been reached"
said the President. at is evident that
the German people have no means of
commanding the acquiescence of the

IN 1910 INFLUENZA SPREAD
OVER MOST OF THE WORLD

| tFrOm Answers. LOndOnD
We are in the grip of a new dis
ease. But is it a new disease, or an
old one revivified? 1t has been giyeI
an old name. influenza" Most peo,
pie think that both the name and the
disease are comparatively recent. their
knowledge not going farther back
| than the great influenza epidemic OF
| lSS9-92, called then the Russian" in
fiuenza, because the epidemic appeared
to start in Siberia.
But as a matter of fact, both dis
ease and name are immensely old.
The word is Italian for 'the influence. A."
and takes us back to the times
when the causatiOn of disease was
attributed to the malign influence of
planets, or of supernatural beings.
Records of influenza-like epidem-
les can be traced as far back as I173.
From 1910 Onwards the accounts are
fairly exact, so that the disease can
be identified with certainty. In the
Sixteenth Century there were three
big epidemics, in the next two CEN
turtles twelve. and in the last century
there were six.
Influenza epidemics share with
those of plague and smallpox the evil
fame of sometimes spreading over the
greater part of the world. Thus the
epidemic of 1910 in Europe is said to
