BELIEVE CASES
CAUSING INFLU.
Blame Deadly Yapors Used in Mod
eTn Warfare for Epidemic
Throughout Country.
RURAL PEOPLE SUFFERING
Say Disease Has Affected Near All
Residents in Lower Half of
County in Last Few Weeks.

That the poisonous gases used in
modern warfare overseas have cir
culated over the world and are
spreading their deadly vapors
among the people, is thought by
many to be the real cause of the
Spanish influenza epidemic
throughout the country.
Medical authorities have eX-
pressed themselves as believing
that the air carries the flu germs
and that QuaTantining or closing
Of homes. stores. etc. would have
little effect because of the presence
Of the flu in the atmosphere.
Others are confident that the dust
contains the germs that are caus-
ing the continuous outbreak OF
Spanish flu
An Indication that the disease
may be carried about other than by
people was furnished yesterday by
farmers living IN the lower half OF
Rock Island county. In the rural
districts, they say, but few have es-
capped du attacks. Entire families
living miles from other people have
been found I'll IN bed on being Wis
tied by neighbOrs and il is asserted
that none OF the afflicted ones had
been near other people for many
weeks.
Ne Doctors.
People living in the rural dis
tricts face a great problem in com
batting the flu. No doctors or
nurses are obtainabIe, they say.
Residents who recover sufficiently
from an attack, give their services
to neigLbOTs.
Providing the theories OF the med
ical officials who claim that the air
carries the flu germs are true, clos
ing Of stores and business places
would be Of little help in Rock Is
land or other cities that have not

AIR cannot be Quarantined. Clos

the entrance Of air into the lungs
OF the people.

PREFERS HIS BRIDE
TO SHAKY THRONES
Kinsships Unstable, Says
Crown Prince Who Mar
ried MorganaticalIy.

By the Associated Press.
AMSTERDAM, September 2e.-In
answer to pleas that he desert his
bride Of humble birth. Crown Prince
Charles Of Rumania has replied that
thrones are 50 unstable nowadays
that he preferred the certainty Of
having the wife he wanted to the
chance Of losing the succession.
The escapade Of the crown prince
in going to Odessa and marrying
Cecilfe Lambring. the daughter of a
major in the Rumantan army. reopens
the question of the Rumanian dy-
nastic succession. When King Ferdi-
nand heard Of the marriage he or
dered that the crown prince be given
seventy-nve days solitary confine-
ment for absenting himself without
leave from his garrison.
Butts In" on Honeymoon.
King Ferdinand also sent an ennis
sary to Bender, Bessarabia, where the
young couple are spending their
honeymoon, with instructions to try
to undo the nuptial knot, but to no
avail. The bride refused to part with
her wedding ring. and the crown
prince declined to leave her.
Grown Prince Charles has not yet
voluntarily renounced his rights Of
succession. and the king is reported
to be very angry. The Rumanian
constitution does not contain a clause
barring morganatically married
crown prince from succession to the
throne.
Recalls Kings Love Affair.
The present case has a piquant fea-
ture in that it recalls that King
Ferdinand In his youth had a love
affair with Helen Vacaresco, his
mothers lady of honor. Premier Ca
targiu threatened to resign IL the
king did not veto the proposed union,
and 1t came to nothing.
Should Crown Prince Charles re.
nounca his rights Of succession, his
brother Nicholas would become the
heir apparent. Nicholas is fifteen
years old and physically weak.
There is much excited gossip In
Bucharest according to q telegram to
the Vossische Zeitung Of Berlin. as to
what would happen in the eventual
1ty Of Queen Marie, who IL strongly
anti-German, becoming regent.
