STRANGE MALADY
SWEEPING PEORIA
STATE HEALTH BOARD TAKES
CHARGE OF THIS MOST MYs-
FERROUS EPIDEMIC.
Over $500 Persons Have Been Strick-
EN- in Two Days-SmaIl City IL
Miles Away Also Suffers.

Peoria, Ill-The malady which mas
been sweeping Peoria from one end
to the other claiming it's victims by
the hundreds, affected nearly 1000 adj
ditional victims, but is showing signs
of let-up, although city officials have
as yet been unable to locate the cause.
1t is estimated that $500 persons have
been stricken in two days. The VIC
TINS were seized with violent vomiting
spells, dysentery, dizziness and In
many cases high fever, followed by 4
general swelling of the body, the body
later becoming rigid. Bacteriologist
McShane, with Engineers Miller and
Cowie, of the State Health Depart
ment at Springfield, arrived and took
charge of the situation. They are CO.
operating with DR.. George w. Parker,
City Health Commissioner, and Dr..
John F. Sloan, City Bacteriologist.
The same malady appeared at WASH
ington and has practically swept the
little city. Washington is IL miles
from Peoria. The Washington school,
one of the largest in Peoria, suffered
heavily by the strange disease. Many
of the pupils were taken suddenly i'll
and were rushed to their homes and
to hospitals. The Avery Company,
employing 1900 men, reported large
numbers of cases among its employees.
Cultures are being made, and accord
ing to experts it will be definitely de-
termined within few hours just what
has been causing the sickness. Health
Commissioner Parker is of the opinion
that it will be found to be a grip in
lection only.

TRIBUTE PAID WASHINGTON
Nearly 10000 Soldiers Parade In Hon
or of Americas First Great
Chieftan.

New York.-If the spirit of George
Washington could have been abroad
in New York, and there were many
who felt it was, the soul Of America s
first great chieftain must have thrilled
with pride. There was a parade OF
soldiers on Fifth avenue-nearly TO-.
600 of them. But Fifth avenue has
seen so many parades there was moth
ing novel in military pageant. New
Workers has cheered Loyalty all kinds
and conditions of soldiers; have cheer,
ed, and enthusiastically. They didn't
cheer today. They felt more like
weeping. What they saw was more
than a parade 1t seemed to them like
a solemn dedication.

RED CROSS VESSEL
TOSSED ON ROCKS
STEAMER FLORlZEL SINKS WITH
ALL ON BOARD IN STORM
NEAR CAPE RACE.
Rescuers See Ship Go Down as Men,
Lashed to Rigging, Signal In Vain
For Aid-Small Boats Unable. TO
Live In MerciIess Surf.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
st. Johns, N. F.-The hardy Flori-
eel, of the Red Cross Line, pounded
herself to pieces on the rocks OF the
Newfoundland coast, near Cape Race,
and with 140s persons aboard, includ-
ing rs passengers, sank while watch
ers on shore and feet of rescue YES
sells only short distance away stood
ready to lend every assistance. Re-
ports indicate that not soul aboard
the Florizel had escaped. Bodies are
drifting ashore, telling the tale or the
lost battle for life. The Red Cross
liner crashed onto the rocks, only
three or four ships lengths from shore
She was bound from st. Johns, N. F.,
to New York, via Halifax. A short
time later number of steamers and
warships were dispatched to her as
sistance and relief train was made
up and sent on its way.
All during this time maddened seas,
driven in the teeth of raging biz
card, were breaking over the decks
of the stranded vessel. Little by lit
tie her resistance-she was built es-
pecially for battling with the flashing
weather of the Newfoundland coast
gave way, and with rescuers on every
side, her last effort for life gave way
and she went down with her entire
complement, with the exception OF
seven bodies which previously had
been washed ashore. Naval gunner3
shot line across the bow of the sub
merged ship before she sank, but
waited in vain for it to be hauled
abroad. Just before darkness blotted
the wreck from view five men, driven
from the forecastle by the giant seas,
were seen to climb the forward rig
ging signaling feebly for help. But
when they failed to make fast the line
it was feared they had succumbed to
the cold and exposure. Those five
were the only ones visible on board
several hours after the ship struck.

URGED TO PULL TOGETHER
McAdco Makes Plea TO Rail Employees
to Work For Country's
Needs.

Washington.-Dire McAdoo is
sued orders to all employees on the
railroads of the country to pull togeth-
er to insure Americas safety, ideals
and rights in the war. The Govern
ment's interests, he said, must be held
uppermost; every man must be will
ing to give the best in him, even to
the point of working overtime when
called. upon, the matter of wages be-
ing left for future determination.
This Government now being in con-
troll of railroads" his instructions
read "the officers and employees of the
various companies no longer serve a
private interest. All now serve the
Government and the public interest
only. l want the officers and employees
to get the spirit of this new era. Su-
preme devotion to the country, an
invincible determination to perform
the imperative duties of the country
while the life of the nation is iInper-
| lied by the war, must obliterate old en-
mites and make friends and comrades
of us all.
"There must be cooperation, not an
tagonism; confidence, not suspicion;
mutual helpfulness not grudging per-
Torrance; just consideration, not arbi-
trary disregard of each others rights
and feeling, fine discipline based on
mutual respect and sympathy and an
earnest desire to serve the great pub
lie faithfully and efficiently. This is
the new spirit and purpose that must
pervade every part and branch of the
national railroad service. Americas
safety, Americas ideals, Americas
rights are at stake. Democracy and
liberty throughout the world depend
upon Americas valor, Americas
strength, Americas fighting power.
We can win and save the world from
depotism and bondage only If we
pull together. We can not pull apart
without ditching the train. Let us go
forward with unsuitable purpose to
do our part superlatively. Then we
shall save America, restore peace to a
distracted world and gain for ourselves
the coveted distinction and just re-
ward of patriotic service nobly nobly
done"

Big Guns Built In U. S. Shoot Farther.

Washington. - American-built ord
nance of the latest type and heaviest
caliber-ten-inch, twelye-inch and four
teen-inch rifes-are in service on the
sector of the western front held by
the American army and on the Italian
front, it was learned at the War De-
partment The general belief has been
that very few American heavy guns
were in Europe. The guns sent to
Italy include a number of fourteen
inch rifles, both of 45 and so caliber.
The former was considered the most
powerful naval weapon in existence
until the commissioning of the British
battle ships of the Queen Elizabeth
class with fifteen-inch guns. Ameri-
can experts still believe that the four
teen-inch fifty-caliber rife is harder
hitting and more accurate even than
the larger British weapon.

over to Herbert C.. Hoover in few

dent has asked Mr.. Hoover to go
ahead. Hoover was with the Presi-
dent several hours and the President
approved all his plans. Hoover was
preparing to quit Washington when
tho President told him to go ahead ON
his own lines"
