LETTER FROM M|N0T
SOLDIER IN france
Arthur Rutherford, Well Known Mi.
not Paper Salesman, Describes
Trip Across Atlantic.

The following letter from Arthu,
Rutherford who formerly Travelled
out of Minot for the Twin City Paper
House Of this city, has been received
by the manager, Mr.. Golish. Mr.
Rutherford is now in France with the
U. S. forces:
You no doubt know or will have
known long before this reaches you
that l have arrived safe and sound
Guess old Bill would have liked aw-
fully well to have "got us" but be-
lieve me, "Uncle Sam" is taking good
care of us all.
We slipped out of camp in the mid
die of the day with our packs on our
backs and no one would have known
but what we were off on a hike. 1t
seemed that way to us at the time
A train was waiting for US and it
pulled out as soon as the last man
was aboard, and we were speeded to
an American port. There was practi-
cally no delay at all and in due time
we were aboard the transport which
lay ready to take US over.
All the way over there were no
lights to be seen from the boat at all
at night. Every precaution is taken
both day and night. The troops were
allowed on deck between the hours of
GAS a. m. and p. m. and after 4:30
p. m. no smoking at all. Also moth
ing was thrown overheard that would
float which might betray the pres
ence of ship. In order that these
and other minor rules should be car
ried out, ship guard was posted
and our regiment did the guard duty
all the way. 1t came our company's
turn every third day for a twenty
four hour shift. It took about rs
men out Of the company for that
alone and l was on each time. One
day / was one of the Corporals of
i, the Guard and it was quite an adven-
ture roaming all over the ship in the
pitch dark. The lights inside the ship
burn till 900 p. m. After that only a
dark purple incandescent light burns
along the various Railways. They
are placed about a foot from the floor
and only act as guides inside. They
do not throw out any light to speak
of and cannot be seen at any distance.
The first experience on guard it seems
toned to it. Outside though we only
had the rail for guide and what light
the stars made when they shone.
One night, the stormiest we had,
was posted on the forward part of the
ship, and l had great sport lodging
the waves which for while were
breaking up over the deck. The ocean
looked awful black and uninviting that
nigth. But we plowed right along at
moderate speed, and in day or two

NOTICE TO RIoToUs PEOPLES.

From the British foreign Office comes a no
tice to the peoples of Europe that if they need,
desire and expect help and cooperation from
the allies, they must show themselves firm in
will and ability to keep the peace within their
borders. The British government speaks for
itself and for the allied nations, including the
United States. It is no part of the allied plan
to refuse to any people the right to become
prosperous in independence and in free exer-
else of their legitimate rights. The allies have
not beaten tyranny out of the world to supply
a new form of it. But they will not become
dupes of internal anarchic conditions any
where; the peoples of the countries where re-
sort to murder and rapine is threatened and
even now being practiced must unite to put a
stop to this; else the allies will hold aloof until
they do This is plain warning to all the dis,
rupted nations, TO Germany as much as to Pol
and and the Austrian factionalists It comes
at the right time and it announces a wise
policy. In it Russia can see both promise of
aid and threat of abandonment according to
her own conduct of affairs in the immediate
future. This plain statement of the policy with
which the allies enter consideration of world
peace conditions ought to have immediate eff
feet; the intelligence of the peoples to whom it
is addressed should rally to concerted action
i'm heed of its warning.

DRAFT BOARD HELPS.

In reconstruction the draft boards should be
iable to furnish both documents and advice of
high Importance to success in solving many of
the problems sure to arise The missionaries
of the drafted men which have been retained
would seem to be of the utmost value in de.
termining the proper replacement of the re-
turning soldiers in civilian employment. Then
the draft boards themselves are the best sort
of agents for experimenting much of this sort
of work, if they should continue to serve
throughout the period of rehabilitation. They
were the government agents in taking the men
from civil life into the army; the men know the
draft boards and undoubtedly would welcome
the same agency in returning to civilian life
which indicted them into military service
Moreover, it is necessary that there be intimate
knowledge of home conditions in industry dur
ing the labor readjustment incident to the re-
turn of the three million and more men, or
such part of them as the government releases
from the army, to work. The admirable civil
ian machine devised by General Crowder seems
to offer one of the best helps to the government
in its rehabilitation work.

tered the service from Massachusetts and is the
ranking officer in our army. Some people re-
garded him as presidential timber in 1916 and
in 1912; and some of his friends imagine that
they discover connection between this and
the fate that kept him at training camp in
Kansas while the war of the ages was being
fought. In any event, it does not seem fan
tastic to speculate that if he had been given a
chance to gain new laurels in France he would
be looming presidential possibility today
Perhaps he may be yet.

Should Schools Be Closed in
Order to Control Influenza?

DR.. w. A. Evans, In Chicago Trib-
une: 1t is too early to draw final
conclusions as to the value Of the
different methois OF controlling q.
fluenza from the experiences of this
epidemic. I hope that some definite
conclusions can DC. reached at the
approaching meeting Of the American
Public Health association. But we
have gone far enough to have some
data on which we can discuss mat
tiers.
The Chicago authorities did not
close the schools, and I do not think
there is any evidence that we lost
anything by that decision Our influ-
enza rate was not so high as that of
other cities of more than $4,000 in
habitants, most of which closed their
schools. So far as 1t goes, that fact
would indicate that closing the
schools did not help the large cities
which followed that policy, and, con-
yersely, that failure to close made
matters no worse in Chicago.
The theoretic reasons for the Chi
cago action were these:
First, the disease was not unduly
prevalent among school children. 1t
was disease of young, vigorous men
and women. The group that suffered
most was age 20-30. age 1910 rank
ing second. Reasoning from this, the
disease should have been very bad
in children to Is. This age period
should have suffered about the worst
OF all, since they were young, un-
used to withstanding pneumonia in
lection and in close contact daily in
the schoolroon. Other forms of con-
tagion show no disposition to avoid
school children.
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1918-11-26

Studying the mortality rate among
children to 10, the only grouping
available in the statistics as they are
tabulated, we find that the disease,
while bad in the group, was little
less than average bad, and 1t was
considerably less than the record
made in the 20-3O age group. Younger
children suffered even less severely.
In the epidemic of 1S90-93 We find
that children aged $40 did not come
off as well as they did this year, COM
paratively, but still they hade bet
ter record than did persons 20-30.
This leads us to the conclusion that
the defense should not be concen-
trated on children.
Second. it was thought that chill
dren would be. safer if they were in
school, looked over by teachers,
nurses and school physicians Had
the schools been DISMISSED the super
vised contacts of the schools would
have been replaced by the unsuper-
vised contacts Of the playground,
streets and vacant lots. This argu-
ment may not be valid in rural dis
tricts, where, on the one hand, there
is no inspection, and. on the other.
children can be kept from playing
together. 1t was deemed to be the
saner policy under city conditions.
The Chicago school children have
Eot had their education interrupted
The funds of the school board have
not been paid out for schools that
were closed. and the record, in so
far as we have it, shows that some
thing in controlling the disease was
gained by the policy. However, the
opinion must not be accepted as
final.
