eurian Makes Speech

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 17.-Baron Bur ian, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister addressing the foreign affairs committee of the Austrian delegates on Wednesday said that he had not yet received President Wilson's reply to Austria. He added:
 "h the discussion of such dOcu. ments we always establish an agree. ment with Germany"
 Baron Burian said that after a care ful examination of President Will sons reply to Germany nothing could induce him to change his statement of the previous day that "at no far distant date We will reach a cessation of hostilities on all fronts and enter negotiations for the conclusion of a general, lasting and just peace"
 The technical questions and con6i- uons of an armistice, with which President Wilson dealt thoroughly are questions mostly of military interest the baron declared and it is a mat ter of course that the negotiations and decision on an armistice will depend on military factors"
 Repeating that Austria was striving for peace by understanding. Baron Burian concluded by saying that the central powers would refer with em- phasis to President Wilson's state ment that future peace must not be a peace by force"

CLAIMS TO HAVE ISOLATED FLU BUG
(By Review Leased Wirel


 CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Dr. Louis J. Pint, former state bacterologist and at present connected with the research laboratories of the University of Chi cago, told the Chicago medical soci- ety tonight that he had succeeded in isolating the germs responsible for the so-called influenza epidemic which is sweeping the country and that the regulation diptheria antitoxin is an absolute specific for the disease.
 The germs responsible for the di- sease which he said is not influenza, he gave as staphylococus aureus, which is unusually responsible for car buncles, streppocus, which causes blood poison, and vincent angina, which causes sore mouth He said the epidemic was mainly caused by the present war diet and especially by the curtailmept of the usual con sumption of sugar Dr. Pint said that he had treated seventy-fiye cases with the diphtheria antitoxin without the loss of single case.

Reports on the influenza situation were received by the public health service today from 33 states.

Condi- tions were described as satisfactory in oregon and Tennessee.
 To provide additional funds for fighting the epidemic, senator Lewis of Illinois today introduced a bill in the. senate appropriating S10,0OO,O00 in addition to the S1,O0O,OOO already pro vided by congress. The money would be expended through the health de- partments of states and municipali- ties.

Pan-Germans who at tempted to hold a meeting before the Hindenburg statue were obliged to dis perse by hooting crowds which at tempted to set fire to the statue. The police had great trouble in preventing them from carrying out their purpose.

HUNS PREPARE ALIBI

AMSTERDAM, Oct IT, (By the Associated Press .)-According to the Rotterdam Courant, the German news papers this evening were to publish the following communication:
 ''The German army command has brought military measures into ac- cord with the steps taken for the con- clusion of peace. The German arm ies have received orders to cease all devastation of places. unless they are absolutely forced to follow this course by the military situation for defensive reasons.
 Nevertheless, it is to be expected that in the gradual retreat property will be lost which is irreplacable by money, that is to say, insofar as such devastation is inherent in the conduct of the war itself. and especially on the bombardment of German positions by enemy artillery.

SPANISH INFLUENZA RAPIDLY SPREADING
Persons Weak and Rundown Easy Victims = Fortify Yourself Against It
 By Taking Tanlac

According to late reports issued by state and federal health authorities the Spanish influenza epidemic is rapidly spreading to all parts of the country. and it now seems that practi- cally every state in the Union will be seriously affected before it runs it's course.
 It has not only become a great and terrifying menace to the public health, but unless checked, it Is apt to se- riously affect the progress of war work in all it's various departments. Already the shipping board has an. nounced that 10 per cent of its work CTS had been affected.
 The disease has made it's greatest progress in the east where it has claimed its victims by the thousands Reports from other sections, however, are equally alarming; and both civil and military authorities have warned the public to take every precaution to prevent it's further spread. In many cities schools, churches and theaters have been closed and public gather ings of all kinds forbidden.
 Medical authorities agree that peO- pie who are weak and run down are the earliest victims of the influenza epidemic. If you find yourself tired, weak and losing flesh, or if you are in a generally rundown condition, or if you catch cold easily this warning should be needed promptly. You are really in great danger, because the germ of this disease is very catching and you are apt to fall an easy victim if you come in contact with the germs. People who are we'll and strong are not likely to contract the disease be- cause they are able to throw it off. The common-sense way to keep from taking it is to fortify the system against attack by building up the con- stitution.
 In other words to use the old adage. An ounce of prevention Is worth pound of cure" And if you are in a sub-normal condition the proper thing to do is to begin immediately to build up your powers of resistance. To ac- complish this, nothing on earth will strengthen you and build you up like Tanlac, the powerful reconstructive tonic, which contains the very ele- ments needed by the system to give you fighting strength and ward off the influenza germ.
 First of all Tanlac begins it's action by creating a good healthy appetite for wholesome food, and assists every
Bisbee daily review., 1918-10-18

organ of the body to perform it's na- tural way
 Tanlac is also the ideal strengthen in tonic for persons who are suffering from the after effects of influenza, Grippe or Bronchial troubles and hun dreds of thousands are using it daily with the most gratifying results.
 In connection with the Tanlac treat menU, it is necessary to keep the bow els open by taking Tanlac Laxative Tablets, samples Of which are includ- ed with every bottle of Tanlac. It is alsto important that the every day rules of hygiene be observed: that is, sleep in well ventilated rooms, get plenty of fresh air and exercise and keep away from crowds.

Judge Campbell read to the jury disloyal articles from Upton Sinclalrs magazine and asked them if they liked to have that kind of stuff placed in the public institutions for their children to read at state ex- pense because Hunt wanted to help out socialist.

not be published. The court did not want to take the responsibility for ad- hitting it and counsel for the defense withdrew it.
 With the testimony of Professors Randall and Matthews, the defense closed their case and Assistant Attor- ney Jarrett opened the argument for the prosecution. He stated that after hearing Governor Hunt testify on the stand, he was glad to say that he voted for him last time and was proud of the governor. He argued that the verdict of not guilty would be equi- valent to finding Hunt guilty of dis loyalty to the government and praised the chief executive for the great amount of war work he was doing. He argued that Professor Lawrence had run away to avoid testifying in the case.
 Doe Opens Argument
 Judge Edward M. Doe of Flagstaff, opened the argument for the defense. He pointed out that the article had been published as a matter of news and without malice and that the peo- pie are entitled to know what the gov ernor is saying about the war. Judge Doe deprecated the disposition of the states attorney to make politics out of the case and showed how absurd his charge that the defense was trying to play politics by pointing out that the defendant and his three attorneys were all republican while most of the jurors were democrats. He added that the defense was satisfied the jury would discard politics and give Col onel Breen a fair deal.
 Campbell Takes Turn
 Judge Campbell of Tucson, whok fol- lowed Judge Doe, after stating that he did not believe Hunt was pro-Ger- man or. wanted Germany to win the war, argued that the governors be- havior showed that from his long as sociation with wobblies. he had come to a state of mind where he could see no good in a man unless he belonged to that organization. He called atten- tion to the fact that Hunt said he did not know that the wobblies were dis loyal and argued that the government knew they were disloyal and raided them at every opportunity. He said this accounted for his having in his
