1T must be remembered" said
Surgeon Gen. Blue in a statement
tonight, that several different vac
cines are now being tried. The re-
ports so far received, however. do
not permit any conclusion whatsO-

public TO remember that there is as
vet no specific cure for influenza
and that many of the alleged cures
and remedies now being recommend

good. The chief reliance must be
on medical attention, good nursing,
fresh air, nutritious food. plenty Of
water and cheerful surroundings"

that the army medical authorities

Mr.. McAdoo tonight issued Il

that the nations selfish interests

serted that the country will be ap-

AS the congress progresses - said
Cummings, "the purpose of the sell

been enacted under his leadership.
They seek 20 tie the hands OF the

The stakes fro which they are
playing are high and their resour-
ces are enormous. The country
will be appalled, when il learns to
what extent money is being used
for the purpose Of slec:ing a con-
gress adverse to the president. If
il is profitable to spend S17S,0OO

the United States senate on the re-
publican ticket in Michigan, what
limit Will the imagination place up
on a corruption fund which will be
disbursed in the elections through
out the country"
Mr.. Cummings said at a recent
meeting Of Kentucky republicans at
Louisville, Chairman Hays Of the
republican national committee, said
two additional dollars from the
partys national fund would be pro-
vided for every dollar the state re-
publicans raised. and that later the
state republicans would cOmpro-
mise an additional dollar.
Letters said TO have been sent to
1900 persons by the republican
