"One Ounce of Prevention Is Worth Pound of Cure |"
 Help Your Board of Health Fight This Disease
SPANISH INFLUENZA DISCOVERED IN SIX U. s. SEAPORT TOWNS
Surgeon General Blue Ad- nits European Panderaic Has Reached America.

WASHINGTON, Sept 13.-Surgeon General Blue, of the Public Health Service, has made a telegraphic survey to determine the extent of Spanish in- fuenza in the United States. General Blue has found there was sharp out break at Fort Morgan, near Mobile, Ala, in August, and at about the same time 8 tramp steamer arrived at New port News with almost the entire crew prostrated.
 Philadelphia posted few cases some four weeks ago, and few have beeen reported from New York. The Boston outbreak was reported Sep tember II, since when the pandemic has appeared at New London, while New Orleans has not wholly escaped.
 "The disease is characterized by sudden onset,' said Dr. Blue today.
 People are stricken on the street. while at work in factories, shipyards, offices, or elsewhere. First, there is a chill, then fever with temperature from 101 to 103, headache, backache, redenning and running eyes, pains and aches all over the body, and general prostration. Persons so attacked should go to their homes at once, get to bed without delay, and immediately call a physician.
 "TreaIment under direction of the physician is simple, but important, con sisting principally of rest in bed, fresh air, abundant food, with Dover's pow der for the relief of pain. Every case with fever should be regarded as seri- ous, and kept in bed at least until tenn peratufe becomes normal.
 COQyGleScence reQuireS caFeflfl man. agement to avoid serious complications such as bronchial pneumonia, which not infrequently may have fatal ter imitation. During the present outbreak ! in foregn countries salts of quiRine ] and aspirin have been most generally used during the acute attack, the as pirln apparently with much success in the relief of symptoms.-(New York 1 World).

spoken violation of the right of oth- CTS. From John Stuart Mill to the present day the chief argument of us who have fought for free speech, and still fight for it, has been that the remedy for any wrong done to oth CTS lay in an appeal to the courts after the wrong had been done. Not even the most extreme advocates of free speech have ever dreamed of denying thls principle, for it is the very foundation upon which the whole structure of free speech rests
 But we can not deny that anyone who had proven a tendency to repeat these offenses against the rights of others or of the general public must inevitably be fOrCibly restrained Even in times of peace no individual would be permitted to continue de- famatory and libelous attacks on the persons of the president and the oth. CT officials elected ,hN the people to administer the government. A very few repetitions would lead 10 length cncd prison sentences until the in dividual involved would find himself spending his life in prison.
 If number of individuals agreed in advance to repeatedly commit such criminal attacks. they would be guilty of conspiracy to defeat the law. A second repetition of such an of- fense would be so grarclY punished that it would bo mostly unlikely to rccur a third time.
 There is no prospect or possibility whatever of free speech in any com munity except as it protects itself by preventing violent and antsocial minoritles from using this right ut. tcTly 10 destroy the social structure and the civilization upon which alone the right Of free speech can be mado secure.

FREE SPEECH PROVES
 10 BE BOOMERANG
By Taking Advantage Germans
 Spread Much Propaganda

By WILLIAM ENGLISH WAILINC)
 This war Is, above all, a fight for free speech. It is true that an all powerful and exceptionally efficient autocracy like that of Germany can afford to grant a very limited meas ure of free speech, in view of the fact that there is very little freedom of action to the common people In public affairs. The Czar or the Turkish sultan could not afford to grant so much, for the reason that their deSp0tiSm was less efficiently deSpOtir. The German system limits free speech at d thousand different points. One illustration will suffice. Every Wcll-rcad American knows that the crime of lese majestc is commit ted whenever any person speaks in public with the slightest disrespeCt of the Kaiser or kaiseriSm. Freedom Of speech Is permitted only at those times and places where il is absolute- lN certain that it can do no harm whatever to the Prussian ruling class It is not even permitted to criticize the administration of the army; and the fact that the socialists had 1000 witnesses and 30,000 atfida wits to prove her statement could not keep Rosa Luxemburg out of prison in July, 1914, just before the outbreak of the war.
 But, while this war for free speech iS going on. the German government is profiting in all the free countries from a mock "free-spcech fight car-
 
 of which are supporaed in part by 0VOWed German SympathiZerS and in part by advocates of the peace de- sired by the German miltariSts. The important point is that the German rropagandists, paid and unpaid, have seized upon this mock "frce-spcech fight as the most hopeful weapon with which to attack the democratic governments. For every democracy necessarily permits a very large measure of free speech, even in war tjme--cnough to allow a highly dan Gerous and traitorous free-spcech fight to he carried on without the slightest risk to the participants. Whatever tho limits of free speech in democracy at war, there is always enough freedom left for this sinister purpose. Thus does the Kaiser use dem ocraCN as a club against dcmoC- racT and free speech as weapon against free speech.
 If we can obtain permanent free speech for ourselves and children only hy a temporary limitation of the right Of free speech during year or two of war. can any advocate of free speech hesitate? Even the most militant frop-SnacCh advocates have never claimed that an individual had right to rush into theater and shout fire. Not only would he be hauled into the courts afterwards for this offense but he would be forciby prevented from repeating it if he showed any intention of doing so.
 In no organized society would any individual be permitted to repeat any

Of Spring Seeds.
 Peronne, France, March 1S.--Girls from Smith college, Northampton. Mass, have been hustling about the department of, the Somme among ruined villages and devastated farms the past week organizing the distri- button of seeds necessary to the spring planting. The system and celerity with which the girls got around and learned for themselves the wants of those who are able to try to reclaim the soil of the region devastated by the Germans in their retreat in 1917 impressed the inhabitants.
 Orders were taken from everything from Brussels sprouts to parsnips The seeds, which will be delivered bv motor truck, arc being sold at nomi- nal prices low enough to be accepta blo and high enough to prevent waste.

Chasing Germans.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN |
FRANCE, Aug. Correspondence of
Tho Associated Pressl-The headquar-
ters of Tire units of the American army
in the Marne sector had to hustle to
keep up with the American troops in
the fighting when the Germans were
hurled out of that salient and across
the Vesle river.
In keeping contact with the enemy
the American headquarters moved from
ono shell torn village to another. In
most instances, the buildings or parts
of buildings, had been occupied by Ger
man officers only day or two before
Previous to moving from one town
| to another telephone wires had been
strung, or laid, so that, while the di-
visional officers were in the actual proc
| ess of moving, the two headquarters in
| the two villages were in communication
with each other until the task was com
| pletcd.
After the telephone, and possibly telc
| graph instruments, had been installed
the commanding officer would go for
ward to the advanced station with a
few assistants and then Others would
follow in relays, each department
bringing its books and papers. maps
and other accessories of its particular
| branch. Transportation was by auto
mobile and was only minor incident
of the moving In one instance fhe
entire transfer of divisional headduar-
ters was accomplished in less than three
hours, the telephone connection having
been accomplished t1e day previous
/ in the case of corps headquarters
the commanding officer moved into new
headquarters one morning while sol
diers were repairing the roof damaged
two days before by German she'll.
Telephones in working order with the
village to the rear from which the
corps was moving awaited the com
manding officer when he arrived. Soon
afterward officers and field clerks with
cases of documents and papers of the
different departments began to arrive
and before noon the corps was work
ing as smoothly as it had been the
night before fifteen or twenty miles
away and without having been out Of
communication with any Of its units
even for a second
In addition to the telephone and tele.
graph the wireless apparatus had beer
set up. carrier pigeons were ready to be
taken to the front as another means ot
communication couriers on motorcycles
were going and coming as if upon Their
