From Influenza, Is Report
Epidemic Still Persists, but

ooo,ooo and 100000 deaths from infu-
enza and pneumonia have occurred
among the civilian population of the
united States since September Is. ac-
cordlng to estimates day of the pub
lie health service. These calculations
are based on reports from cities and
states keeping accurate records. and
public health officials believe thew are
conservative.
lhc epidemic still persists, but
deaths are much less numerous, accord
ing to reports reaching here. A re-
crudescence Of the disease now Is oc-
curing IN many communities through
out the country, but this is believed To
be sporadic and not to indicate q gen.
eral renewal of severe epidemic con-
ditiors.
Insurance companies have been hard
hit by the epidemic. government re-
ports indicate, although there are no
figures available here to show total
losses sustained by these companies.
The government incurred liabilities OF
more than $4,000, 900 in connection
with life insurance carried by soldiers
in army corps, not including those in
Europe. About 10000 deaths occurred
in the camps in the United States. War
