Less than n quorum of the sem

Democratic leaders were under

other outbreak of partisan debate by
making a point of no quorum. It was
conceded by republican members that
the democratic plans could be car
ried out, thus forcing an adjournment
of the senate from day to day.
Introduction Of resolutions bearing
on proposals of the central powers is
expected tomorrow. but in view of
the power possessed by either party
to force an adjournment no discus

CAMPAIGN AGAINST
FEAR IS ADVOCATED

Des Moines, Ia, Oct 30.---A course
in common sense and an editorial
policy for newspapers directed against
fear, was urged at meeting here
recently of a committee of business
and professional men which have vir-

ing the so-called Spanish influenza
epidemic. DIR. w. C. White, city SAN

Moines Committee; Marshall Miller
president of the Trades and Labor
Assembly; Ralph Taxon, secretary OF
the Chamber of Commerce; Charles
Saverude, druggist; and Drs. Gran
vile Ryan, r. l.. Parker. and Thomas
r. Duhigg.
The city has been under rigid quar-
antine for minimum period of two
weeks, all schools, colleges, churches,
theaters and amusement places hav-
ing been closed to prevent further
spread of the alleged epidemic.
There is no question" said Dr.
White, that by a right attitude of
mind some people have kept them

that many persons have contracted
the disease through fear.

As was the case with the previous
notes and the various political devel-

was promptly communicated to the

Behind the lines where the news
spread more rapidly the men have
watched the developments with that
keenness of intelligence that marks
the citizen army.
The rank and file do not hesitate
to comment and speculate on the fin
al outcome of the negotiations The
disposition of the men however, Is
to speculate on the character of the
next development rather than to ex-
press an opinion OF what should be
done.
