PREVALENCE OF SPANISH
INFLUENZA IN UNION CITY
Closing of Schools and Theatres and
Public Places.

The boards of Mayor and Alder
men and Education met last Tues
day evening and took up the ques-
tion of adopting measures for the
prevention of spread of the disease
of Spanish influenza, which is now
in many of the homes of Union City.
Drs.. Qualls, Roper and Kinney
we're present and gave their views
upon the subject. The Superintend-
ent of the City Schools, o. E. Nc
Gee, was also present. Mr.. McGee
had found the absentees from school
to be about eight per cent, and
that three or four teachers had been
sick, one of whom had not reported
since taken.
DR.. Kinney had some late reports
from the U. S. Health Department,
making a distinction between Span
ish influenza and the old-time la
grippe. He said that it is a COM
municable disease and recommended
the close of schools and public places.
The prevention is a silver spray. DR..
Qualls, County Health officer, read
a report ON the disease, saying that
it is highly contagious and COM
municable. He reported about ninety
cases, some of whom had fever as
high as 104, and it was his judg-
ment that the schools should be
closed, and the present order should
hold good until next Monday morn
ing, the 14th inst. The theatres
and churches should also suspend
meetings and other places until fur
ther instructions. DR.. Roper and
members of the boards agreed with
the doctors and a vote was taken to
close the schools until next Monday
as suggested

The personnel of the party was in
deed fine and the greatest possible
courtesy and kindness was extended
to the visitors at the train.
The impression made here by this
train would be hard to estimate. The
crowds cheered and cheercd again,
and especially when the speaker
called for cheer that could be heard
in Germany every voice went up and
every hand was raised and then grip
ped and shaken at the Kaiser.
The party was escorted to the
Palace Hotel by II. 0. Head, Jr., for
dinner, and the exhibition car was
opened TO the crowd to pass thru.
This was full of interesting arms,
some British, French, American, and
some captured from the German
army. The following important pieces
were to be seen:
Captured German Minnewerfer

tween first and second line trenches.

VIOLATING PRESIDENTS

possibilities of the great struggle.
He emphasized the statement that
the war will not close this year, nor
in all probability the next. 1t must
be war to the end, and that end
must be a conquered Germany and
victorious allied arms. Germany
is entertaining the Presidents peace
terms, but this is not by any means
spirit of submission. Germany
hopes, in the failure of P-ussian
arms, to be the master of diplomacy.
She says to us that she does not want
accessions and that she will restore
Belgium and Serbia and make other
restitutions, in everything comply
ing with the Presidents terms. She
protests that she does not want Rus
sia, the country of nearly two hun
dred millions of people and the great
est wheat producing country in the
world. Oh no, she does not want
Russia; but there are now hundreds
of thousands of Germans occupying
Russia and learning the various
tongues that they may be in posi-
tion to control the Russian franchise,
Russian commerce., railroads, etc.
This is what, the speaker says, is
hiding under the German peace
plans. There is no peace but the
destruction of German kultur and
the poisonous seed she has sown on
the soil of France and Belgium and
of Russia. Russia must be free and
restitution must be made to the peo-
plies of the other war-ridden allies.
This cannot be without complete
victory over German arms and the
dissolution of the houses of Haps-
burg and Hohenzollern.
Private Frank Winters, bugler, of
the Great Lakes Naval Station, was
presented and gave some impression
of camp life with his bugle
The orator of the party perhaps is
Hon. Floyd Wilson, of Hannibal,
Mo-, who was presented as a civilian
speaker. Mr. Wilson is getting ready
to report to officers training camp,
but he is now in the Fourth Liberty
Loan campaign doing effective work
An impression of his speech is the
reference to President Wilson's stand
on woman's suffrage, that the women
have to take the places of men and
therefore should be given tffe'respon-
sibility of the ballot. England has
millions of women in the shops and
fields, France has women ploughing,
some of them yoked to the plow. The
speaker said that he loved his wife,
but he would rather see her bent
over plow handles, Drowned and
wrinkled and hardened by manual
labor than to suffer the outrages of
a German brute. We must buy
bonds and keep our women pure and
undefiled.
Mr.. Alfred Barr, of st. Louis, was
introduced, and spoke of the i'm
portance of everyone holding card
to report at once to his bank and let
his subscription be handed into head
quarters.
