VLADIVOSTOK, Dec. II. tCorre-
~spondence Of the Associated Press)-
Demands upon the Young Mems Chris
tian Association secretaries who are
accompanying the entente nations IN
their expedition against the Bolshev1kl
in Siberia have been SO great that they
have been compelled to enlist In Y, M.

from the United States. Virtually all
the Y. NJ, G. A. secretaries have been
working is hours a day.
Instead OF an easy marcn throughout
the country, the allied expedition devel-
oped into q fight mic by mile. FIRST
aid supplies were more pressing needs
than were monographs, games ana ath-
letjc equipment. The demands upon
the Y. M. G. A. canteen service were
so great that supplies which ordinarily
would have lasted a month were ex-
hausted in a week. Cars nave been
sent with each contingent OF troops to
the farthest possible limit and from
them have been distributed free IN times
Of stress, hot tea, coffee, cigarettes, 10,
bacco, chocolate, biscuits, sausage n
other useful supplies. o
This service Is becoming indispensable
to the men in the field. The Japanese
soldiers appear to be as rully appreci-
alive as their western brothers. A re-
port by Secretary Head says:

PRINCETON HEAD
BRANDS RED FLAG
MENACE TO us.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1l.-"When the red
flag is carried upon our streets it is a
protest against law and therefore a
menace to our free institutions de-
clared President John Grier Hibben, of
Princeton university, in address today
before the Association OF Life Insurance
Presidents.
CDR. Hibben was emphasizing the obli-
cations of liberty which, he said, the
sons of America had established new.
Through superficial thinking or
through emotional frenzy, there are
many people who think that where
there Is restraint Of any kind whatso-
eve there can be no liberty" continued
DR.. Hibben. ut would be Well for US
to recognize the truth that the idea OF
law is an essential element In the con-
cept Of liberty.
''Those who come to us from foreign
shores must learn the first lesson OF
American citizenship, namely that in
all matters of personal conduct there Is
an exact ratio which must be pre-
served between outer restraint and in
ner control, that Is the outer restraint
Is lessened the inner control must be
increased.
I'VE must remember at this time that
our liberty has been re-established for
us at a great price. 1t has beer bought
by blood. The rights we enjoy have
been assured through the vicarious sac
rifice freely offered by heroic souls
who have fought and died for US. We
dead, safeguarding the liberty they have
won for US, with their lives, maintain
ing it upon the secure basis of the law
of right and justice and daily living to
realize the reign Of peace and good will
toward men,"

FLU TAKES TOLL
Of MILLIONS BY
RECENT EP|DEM|C

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-The Spanish
influenza epidemic which swept this
country during the autumn stole" mil
lions Of the best years Of life from
American manhood and ~womanhood,
Henry NOR, al insurance authority Of
this city, declared here,
The average economic loss Of active
life in each case OF death from the
malady or its aftermath was at least
% years, said Mr.. Moir, emphasizing
the popularity of the epidemic, which
found most Of its victims under 30
years Of age;. as compared WITH the
sons Insured in we'll established com
panies.
Addressing the Association OF Life
Insurance President, Mr.. NOR, who is
president Of the -Acturial Society of
America, described how the epidemic
had dislocated the. standard mortality
In the past ID years. With no pesti-
lence taking toll of lives In the United
States and Canada during that period,
he said. the standards of health OF per-
sons under 80 were found to be much
the past, But the influenza epidemic,
causing S6,s2S deaths In "a large cities
In eight weeks, or an average of four
Of every 1000 Of the population, he
added, had brought a new element into
the situation. Investigation of claims
before several large insurance compa-
MES, he declared, showed that IS per
cent Of the deaths were due to influ-
enza and 81 per cent to pneumonia fol-
lowing influenza, while less than 2 per
cent were Of persons over IS years, as
against 80 per cent under 40, and go
per cent under 35.
From these figures. the actuary said,
it was apparent that the age of maxi
mum virulence Of the epidemic had
been under 30, taking the young and
vigorous-'those who we expected to
undertake much Of the worlds work"
Mr.. NOR warned the public that
there is nc assurance that the danger
Is past. We learn he said, that in
fluenza is now revisiting Europe and
this time there are indications that it
may be more Objectionable than the
milder form Of midsummer. We should
therefore take warning from this re-
currence and observe watchful care to
prevent further infection, since the dis
ease has distinctly decreased and seems
to be dying out In this country"

To Stock Owners and Farmers of Mary

have had considerable trouble with
farmers in Garrett county in regard to
not disposing of dead animals, and have
had numerous reports which necessitat-
ed my going to have them disposed of
in the necessary way. 1t seems that
the farmers are entirely ignorant of the
law that exists which carries a penalty
in the way of fine and imprisonment
for neglect of this most important duty.
Owing to the people being ignorant
of the law have refrained so far from
imposing the penalty but am taking
this means of due notice and hereafter
intend to prosecute all violators to the
full extent.
1t Is the duty of each one IN the
county to carry out this notice. and at
the same time see that your neighbor
does likewise, for the safety of the
public. and if you know of a case that
is not burned or buried three feet un-
der ground you will confer a duty to
me by reporting same with evidence
sufficient for conviction. Section 10.
