goo 900 CASES INFLU ENZA
DURING THE EPIDEMIC

Little Rock, Dec. State Health
Officer Garrison has returned from
Jackson, Miss, where he attended a
conference of health officers.
He reports that there were 100000
cases of influenza in that state during
the epidemic, but that the number of
deaths has not been compiled yet.
This will be known soon in full, since
there is a very rigid and compulsory
registration law in the state which
enables the authorities to secure a
record of 95 to 9S per cent of the
deaths and births. Mississippi is to
be admitted to the government regis
tration system, al! states securing at
least 90 per cent of the morbidity re-
ports being qualified for this aid. The
best that Arkansas has ever been able
to do is about twenty per cent. DR..
Harrison will make some important
recommendations to the next legisla-
ture as to the Bureau of Vital Stats
tics, which is recognized as necessary
to the proper control of preventable
disease.
DR.. Garrison reports that Missis
sippi will soon put into effect the COM
pulsory vaccination fo~ small poX
which is in force in Arkansas. There
are about 5000 cases of small poX in
the state annually, and there were
about 100000 vaccinations last year.

count of an influenza quarantine. Gov.
Brough's appointment at Crossett, to

DR.. c. W. Garrison, state health
officer, reports that there are quaran-

munities where the epidemic is rag
ing the most. He does not think,
however, that it will be necessary to
declare another quarantine in Little

OWNING PAPERS
BASIS PART OF
HUNPROP AGANDA
Before Americans Entered War
Germans Directed Policy of
Many-Big Sums Given for
Purchases.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Confidential
records of the department of justice
dealing with the activities of German
agents and others in the United States
wereplaced today before the Senate
committee investigating brewers and
German propaganda by A. Bruce Bic
laski, chief of the departments bureau
of investigation. They dealt with
correspondence of Count Won Bern
storff, former German ambassador
and others, concerning the possible
purchase of the Washington Post and
other newspapers; the sending of Will
liam Bayard Hale to Germany as cor
respondent of the Hearst newspapers,
described by Won Bernstorff as having
"outspokenly placed themselves on
the German side," and with sugges-
tions of fomenting trouble between
the United States and Japan as a
means of stopping munitions ship
ments to the allies.
Mr.. Bielaski told the committee
that under date of October II, 1914,
Count Won Bernstorff sent this mes
sage from Washington to DR.. Bernard
Dernberg and Heinnerich f. Albert,
German propagndist in New York:
"The Washington Post was offered
me today for $2,000,OO0, with the un-
derstanding to buy it back again after
the war for million and a half. A
second offer was to put the paper en-
tirely at our disposal for two months
for 100000. The paper is of import
ance as the only large newspaper of
the capital. How do you stand on the
question of the money? l have not
yet inquired at Berlin"
There was nothing to show any re-
ply was made, but Mr.. Bielaski said
that under date of October 81, 1916,
the ambassador sent this message to
the Berlin foreign office in cipher:
''ln the official accounts for the first
and second quarters of 1916, will be
found entries of payments to Mr..
Theodore Lowe. AS to this | have to
report that this gentleman is of Ger
man origin and is married to a Ger
man lady. He offered us his services
to work on paper in Washington,
the National Courier. This offer came
at the time we were deeply regretting
the death of John r. Mclean. This
gentleman had given his newspaper
an entire anti-English character so
that his death left great gap which
the National Courier can unfortufh-
ately never hope to fill. The Wash
ington Post has since then been fairly
neutral, but may be entirely lost to
us if it cannot, as is very much de-
sired, be put into the hands of Mr..
Hearst"

The Daily Mail says the French
claims for reparation will be infinitely
larger than that of Great Britain.

Paris, Dec. 6.-President Wilson
will be informed by wireless of the
plans for the assembling of the allied
conference, and the meeting of the
peace congress. He will also be ad-
vlsed concerning the recent gathering
OF the supreme war council at London.
In the meantime, reports that the
president has approved of anything
done at the supreme council are pre-
mature, as the steps taken at that
meeting have not been made known
to him.
The plans concerning the peace
meetings are the results of Colonel
Edward M. Houses long talk with
Premier Clemenceau, following con-
ference with Baron Sonnino, the TIA
lian foreign minister, and the Earl
of Derby, the British ambassador to
France.
The inter-allied conference will re-
assemble on December 16 or II. The
meetings will be held at the foreign
office in the Quai d'Orsay, and not at
Versailles. David Lloyd George, the
foreign minister, and A. j. Balfour,
the foreign minister, expect to come
here at that time to meet President
Wilson and attend the conference, but
the elections in Great Britain may not
permit them to remain more than two
or three days.

Moreover, a cape can be worn over
