Don't Let "Flu" Brighten You to Death

The editor of the Journal has just talked with some
of the most prominent physicians of Albuquerque regard
ing the epidemic of Spanish Influenza, and they all
the greatest danger from the panic of fear that is
spreading the country.
Fear is the original emotion and the powerful.
the most primitive of passions and felt by the very
low forms of fe such earthworms 1t is the only
ton they have And the strongest emotion the higher
! species feel
Normally, according to pathologists, fear acts as
chemical smulant releasing into the blood the secreons
of the ductless gland, that the who shivered
ment before b. courageoul lion and possessed
of strength he himself did not dream of.
But there is debasing and demoralizing fear. To
it and ignorant people are still subject They
frightened at they know not what at the horrors of their
own imaginations They grove in their superstons
and are the victims of their frightened fancies
There is pan; ,ver the whole country, conjured up
over the spread of lent NOW designated Spanish
Influenza. Experts agree Y is nothing less
and that is enough-than the I'D fashioned grippe"
Our ancestors called it "break bone fever"
According to the best authorities, the most effective
preventives
Avoidance of crowds
Wash and throat with mild intseptcs daily
Keep bowels open and liver active, but without use
of heart depresants.
Live much possible in the open and breathe
pure air.
Consult your doctor and act his advice.
Otherwise forget such thing Spanish Influenza"

attacked by grippe: Stay in bed until the fever is
over and be careful not to expose yourself to relapse
That the best remedy your doctor will tell you Also
act his advice
But above all, control your fears. Don't take the
'fu till you actually have it. If you take grippe don't
allow yourself to be frightened into your coffin That
is very common form of suicide and an ignoble one

Peace Proposal Is Only One Step
In Elaborate Campaign Planned
By Diplomats of TeutOnic Allies
lBy Morning Journal speciaI Ieased wircl

Amsterdam, oct. 7.--An elucidation
of the peace offer of the central pow
ers is published by the Vienna news
as emanating from well-informed
circles reads as follows:
at is first to be emphasized that
this step by Austria Hungary Turkey
and Germany is not to be regarded as
decision taken suddenly under stress
of military events. 1t constitutes rath-
er in the history of our peace policy
the last link in the chain of logi-
cal and continual evolution, regard be-
ing paid at the same time to the latest
internal political Developments in Ger
many.
''As is known, the point of departure
of our peace policy was Baron Bu-
rian's note of December, 1916. The
step then taken was of very vague
character. The conditions were not
described but only indicated in broad
lines.
I'm the course of the development
the conditions have become crystal
lied. During February, March and
April, expressions regarding a general
and Just peace without annexations
or compensation came into currency
The Burian note of December, 1916,
referred to, was that in which the
Austro- Hungarian government con-
Jointly with Germany, Turkey and
Bulgaria. addressed the entente allies
through the neutral powers offering to
negotiate for peace on terms which
were not stated.
an the circumstances we expect
our step will lead to rapproachment
and discussion. At the same time in
expressing this hope We do not
know how the entente and President
Wilson will view this step. 1t is,
however, politically justified on the
ground alone that President Will
son represents the sole power
not politically bound to the entente.
"In a formal manner it is also
pointed that our step is not to be
interpreted as request for media
ton, This is out of the question as
only a neutral could act as media
tor We approach President Wilson
because the points formulated by
him represent a basis on which we
could negotiate.
"Our step will assuredly be re-
garded generally as one of great
moment. In the note it is expressed
with fun clearress that the much
caluminated central powers are
pursuing no imperialistic policy,
and. moreover. these conditions are
in fun accord with their program
of defense.
"shold our proposal not be ac--
cepted. then our opponents will
have to undertake full responsible

Washington, Oct. 6.-More than one
ally of the German emperor who has
attempted to interfere with the ship
building program has come to defeat.
The latest is the MOSQUITO.
Most of the new shipyards have ris-
en- from marshlands bordering rivers,
lakes. bays and inlets. These marshy
places are the favorite breeding places
of tho mosquito and millions fed so
avariciously on the men hammering
out ships that, at times, they were
forced to leave the ways and produc-
tion was retarded But now great.
national mosquito-fighting army has
been created and this force is conduct
ing continuous offensive against the
insect pests.
The staff of this army is composed
of mosquito fighting experts, who have
fought and battered down mosquito
offenslves not only in this country but
also in the fever-infected tropical zone
where the pests have been at their
worst Among these is Lieut. Col. Phil
ip Schuyler Doane. a member of the
staff of Surgeon General Gorgas who
eliminated the pest from the Panama
Canal Zone He is director of the de-
partment of health and sanitation of
tie United States shippir~ board and
is organizing the war against the mos
quito in all parts of the country
The cooperation of state, municipal
and private corporate interests has
been enlisted in this war Miles of
trenches have been dug in iowlands
about shipbuilding plants so that the
marshes may be drained and the
breeding places destroyed. Where it
is impossible to drain off the stag
nant water. sling is resorted to.
AT the Hog Island plant near Phila-
delphia, the work is being carried on
with the cooperation of the state of
PENNSYLVANIA, the city of Philadelphia
the Westinghouse corporation, the At
lantic Oil Refining company and other
private interes s. A fund of $3.50, 900
has been contributed and in addition
the Atlantic Oil Refining company
contributes all the oil used. A 9,t00-
acre. tract Of marsh land had to be
treated by sprinkling pools, cutting
down tall weeds, dredging and drain
ing and within three months after
work started, the water area had been
reduced 95 per cent. Several big
dumping stations have been erected
and employed in this work and more
are planned.

President Believed to Have AL
ready Prepared Reply and
Is Waiting Acquiescence to
Answer for Co. -beIIigerents,
tav soRs,se JOURNAL SPECIAL Ls.sSo w,.s,

Washington, Oct. 7,--President Will
son is comforting with the premiers of
the entente nations over the form of
answer to be made to Germany's lat
est peace proposals. The indications
are that it will not be dispatched for
daV or two.
While there may he some question
as to the form of the reply, there Is no
question whatever as to it's nature.
II may not use the short tnd forceful
term, unconditional surrender"
which would reflect the sentiment
which has come from the spokesmen
of the nation but it is sure to convey
to the German government very clear
" the fact that nothing less than the
terms already laid down can be ac-
cepted, and that those terms cannot
be made merely the basis for nego-
tons. AS to an armistice, such %
step would be looked upon as suicidal
and not to be thought Of

fureign offices in London, Paris and
Rome, forwarded bv President Wilson
as requested by the central powers.
The exchanges now going on have
"a tWo-loiu pun pOSts
obviously the American govern
ment could not proceed to speak for
the other belligerents on a matter of
such importance without consultation
among them, and, it is purposed to
avoid the mistake of making q curt
and peremptory rejection which could
be used by the central powers before
their own people TO bolster the argu-
ment that they are waging defensive
war and that the objects of the CO.
belligerents are TO destroy them"
Lacking official announcements OF
what the president has done. it is
of these two courses:
Either he has asked Premiers Lloyd
George. Clemenceau and Orlando to
advise him of their replies. or, more
likely still the president already has
formulated a reply and asked the pre-
miers for their acquiescepce.
The temper of debate in the senate
today and the general tone of public
opinion in the United states as eS-
pressed in the newspaper comment,
are a very fair index of tho govern
ment's views The consensus of opin-
ion in the senate debate was that the
offer should be rejected; the practi-
cally unanimous public opinion as re-
flected in newspapers all over the
country was that no peace terms short
of unconditional surrender could be
discussed.
