Caught Foot In Flag.

Booth, in jumping. had caught his
foot in the flag that was draped in front
of the box. When he landed upon the
stage he fell heavily upon one foot He
was perfectly familiar with the ar
rangements. however, and Immediately
on regaining his feet ran through to
the back of the stage, out of the back
door of the theater. and in that way
reached his horse, which was In the
alley awaiting him.
After the mans voice from the gal
lery had cried that the President had
been shot everything seemed to be in
an uproar. They cried for surgeons to
assist the President and also for Of
hcers, officers being very plentiful In
the city of Washington at that time.
From all parts of the theater doctors
rushed to assist them. but from where
I was l soon heard one of them say
Nothing can be done.
'"They carried the President directly
past where I was sitting. and LETT
the theater Immediately after those
who carried him out. On my way out
of the building I had to lift my skirts
to keep them out of the blood that had
fallen. I have read statements Of Lin
coins assassination in which 1t was
said that there was no blood to be seen
in the theater, but I recall very well
how I had to look out for my skirts on
the way out to keep them from becom-
ing stained by blood.

In The Darker COIOTS.

An occasional speaker and writer
who is otherwise doing good work
for the Liberty Loan and for the
good cause generally, occasionally
paints the situation in such gloomy
colors that the people are almost
ready to yield to despair.
They say Germany is long way
from yielding on account of scarcity
of food. Germany is stronger in
man pow and in war equipment
than ever before. Japan is going
to be very careful now in making
Germany a lasting enemy and so
Oh.
All this, but the news that comes
floating across the German border,
and it will float across notwith.
standing iron clad German pre-
cautions, shows conclusively that
the German people have long been
suffering for a sufficiency of food
and that the condition is growing
worse and that the hope of a supply
from Russia where thousands are
in a state of starvation has proved
mirage.
With the exception of iron ore
most largely obtained from those
portions of France and Belgium oc
cupied by the Germans the supply
of material for guns and am
munition is scant indeed, so scant
that copper has been taken from
the roofs of dwellings and churches
and that even the brass door knobs
have been confscated.
The German offensive on the
western front is undoubtedly made
in utter desperation.
But whether the prospect is
gloomy or bright the United States
government, the people of this
country, must bend every energy to
the end that we will win. The man,
woman or child who can possibly
do so who fails to buy a liberty
bond large or small is failing in the
performance of a plain duty.
We must win. We are going to
win.

If the United States was fighting
an honorable foe the Language of
hate" would, of course. be out of
place and uncalled for. but in the
light of all the crimes Germany has
committed, how can any humane
person help hating the blood thirsty
rulers of that nation, with red-hot

co oiled only by the defeat and over

The Stacker.

Following is an editorial taken
from Fridays St. Louis Republic
which the Democrat thinks worthy
of reproduction:
When the war is history, when

the wounds have been healed and
the limbless will walk, when the
sorrows have been Iessened by the
benefcence of time, when hate be.
gins to lag and pity takes its place,
when the heart begins to softer,
when men begin to again find their
places in the doing of things, when
the people turn once more to their
God, it is then that the conscience
of the Stacker, that quiet, powerful
judge, will remorselessly and re-
lently mete out its own punish
ment.
1t is then that he will miss the
hand clasp of true comradeship-
the blessings of complete friendship.
He will miss that wonderful under
standing when eye meets eye and
the confidence told by an open face,
He will miss the sweetest joy OF
having suffered for those he loves.
He will miss the note in the voice
of friend more comforting than
the word itself. He will miss hav-
ing done his duty, which is as
nece ssary to the soul of man as the
sunshine is to life.
Conscience is the court and jury
that both prosecutes and Furnishes
and from which there is no appeal
1t is the scourge for slackers il
every phase of life.

BOSTON. Mass, Sept. 25-Boston Is
panio-stricken by the epidemic OF Span
ish influenza, which Is sweeping toward
the west and south like a medieval
plague and threatens TO Overwhelm the
whole country.
With the city depleted Of doctors and
nurses by the war, those remaining are
Staggering under the work Of trying TO
keep the epidemic under control.
People are being stricken down In
the street, Offices. subway, theatres and
shipyards. The hospitals are crowded
TO the limit, and under strict quaran-
tine 90 visitors.
over 600O soldiers are down with the
disease at Camp Devens, while civilian
cases in the Boston district number at
least 10000
As many as az victims have died in
one night in Boston alone. Whole fam
ilies have been wiped out.
The Boston Elevated Railway is Grip
pied by the sickness OF nearly 600 mo-
tOrmen and conductors. All the local
Red Gross nurses have been modified.
The focus OF infection started about
three weeks ago among the sailors
housed on Commonwealth Pier, and be-
ing so large, it was inevitable that the
disease should escape in the civil COM
munity.
Inclined at frst 10 regard the epldem-
ic as nothing worse thsn a visitation Of
bad colds. Boston has not bitterly
learned that Spanish influenza Is some
thing FAR different.
In medical terms. Il is an infectious

lus. Its chief danger Is the risk OF
relapse. with serious complications. gen

Bostoninns are religIously obeying
this advice.
Thousands Of factory and office work
ers are walking 10 work 10 avoid the
crowds in the cars.
More wooden stockings than ever be-
fore are 10 be seen on staid Boylston
street, and also fewer low cut shirt
waists.
Bullying out OF many pockets may be
seen bottles OF pet antiseptlc gargles.
Nearly every other person keeps q
handkerchief 10 his mouth on the
street.
So nervous Is Boston that let a man
sneeze In the lobby of a hotel or on
the street, and the crowd scatters as
though a bomb had been dropped from
the sky.
All kinds OF cures and prophylactics
are being advertised, from diehlOramine

quacks have discovered their pet spe-
cllc TO be as good for Spanish influenza
as for reiuvenatlng men over the draft
age or for charleyhorse.
Half a pint Of whiskey with ten
grains OF quinine Is a popular but ex-
pensive remedy.
While BostOns concern may, TO a
stray visitor, seem at flrst a little hui
morous, the epidemic has a deeply
tragic side. DR.. Frederick Denning, a
well known physician, is dead, mar
tyr. He worked untirlngly day and
night over patients at the oity hospital,
contracted the disease and succumbej.
A family named Collins, father,
