INFLUENZA LAID
TO SUBMARINES

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 90
The prevalence of Spanish influenza
in camps and along the coast cities,
which has been fatal in many cases
may have been spread by agents from
the German submarines which made
their appearance along the Atlantic
Coast a few weeks ago.
Lieut. Co. Doane, head of the health
section of the shipping board said here
today that "it is quite possible the
epidemic was started by Huns sent
ashore by boche submarine com1nan-
ders. We know that men have been
sent ashore from German submarines
and it would be quite easy for the ag-
ents to turn loose, the germs in the
aires and other places where large
numbers of people are assembled"
