FEAR AND INFLUENZA.

CThe Inquirer, Philadelphia, Pa.)
From an editorial which appeared
in these columns recently we reprint
this extract: panic is the worst
thing that can happen to an individ-
ual or a community Panic is exag-
gerated fear, and fear is the most
deadly word in any language. The
fear of influenza is creating panic,
an unreasonable panic that will be
promoied, we suspect, by the drastic
commands of the authorities. Let a
person become excited over the daily
reports of new cases; let him brood
over them; let him shake his head in
dismay and with every little ache or
pain that may be harmless in itself
give himself over to dismal imagin-
ings, and he is providing a fertile
field for attack. His mind fears it.
becomes receptive to it, invites it,"
We wish that we could find space
for all the Communications that the ed
itorial in question has called forth
Not all medical men have been
caught up in the panic by any means.

Dr. Thomas f. Eldridge, is convinced

BOY WORKERS ASKED TO HELP
IN FEEDING THE WORLD.

Madison, Wis.-The following tele-
gram just received by H. N. Goddard.
federal state director Of the United
States Boys Working reserve, from
William E. Hall, national director:
Hoover has called upon people
of the United States to increased eff
fort to meet the appalling situation of
peoples in Europe, millions of. whom
are in peril of starvation. Twenty
million tons of food is the burden laid
upon US, so per cent of worlds food
burt en- belong to US. There never
was so great need of the boys work
ing reserve. We must continue to
make deep drafts upon the patriotism
of our high school boys and to sum-
mon their energies TO save Europe
from immediate consequences of the
great war"

EDITORIAL

Bolshevism, we are told, means in
plain English Advancement" or
Progress" In effect from what we
learn from Europe it is a CHASTITY at
tempt to break down the existing or
der through brutality, starvation and
murder. Back of Bolshevism lies it's
cause, Autocracy. Autocracy's crimes
find their reflex in awful chaos Boil
shevism may in theory mean pro-
gress. In practice it means destruc-
tion of all thought except the lowest
and government by society's dregs.
Bolshevism if allowed to flourish
would wreck our Republican form of
government as the Bolshevists insist
that our happy medium of represent
ative government is the worst of all.
America must guard itself against
Bolshevism, not so much from with
out as within. Mob law and negro
burning in the South means Bolshe-
Vism.
Hauling old women in monkey Gag
es and tar parties in Northern states
means Bolshevism. The whole wher-
ever it exists means defiance of es-
tablished law and just methods of
punishment. The man who judges
without the facts and acts without
giving his victim fair trial is a Boil
shevist for he would take the law in
his own hands. In milder way the
man who advocates violence in any
'orm is a Bolshevist. We have had
a taste of Prussianism in various ways
right in this country during the past
two years. We also have continual
exhibitions of Bolshevism.
Only by preserving our high ideals
OF American citizenship, by maintain
ing equal rights, free speech and fair
play may we meet these kindred ev-
lis.

 SAN FRANCISCO, May s - The United States Circuit Court of appeals today denied the application for re- ceiver for the Nome Consolidated Dredging Company, 3 $10,000,0OO or ganization. The American Manganese Steel Company contended that the Dredging company went through in- solvency and secured 2 $200,000 nor tage in order to escape liability of $5,00O,00O to the steel firm. The steel also contended that the Alaska Mines Corporation bought in the dred- ging company for $23.OOO as a further act to establish an irregular insolven- cy. The lower court held that the assets of the dredging company ex- ceeded the liabilities so no receiver was necessary. The circuit court to- day upheld the lower court.

MISSING PATROL
SPRINGS UP
las If FROM EARTH
Nine Men Suddenly Leap From
Shell Hole Where They Had
Hidden Nearly Twenty-four
Hours and Make Sprint Into
Safety

AMERICAN FRONT IN FRANCE,

A sensational sprint across No Man g
IIGrd. Within plain sight OF the forces
in the trout line trenches of both the
Am?rican and German forces in the
Toul scctnr Of the Lorraine front. took
place this morning during lulI in the
firing. Nine Americans took part in
the affair. which. So far as known, is
without a parallel in the history of the
war.
On Tuesday night a PntroI Of eight
men with one officer was despatched
into No Man Land. Following the
sending ouf Of the patrol there was
genernl activity along the Hun front,
with flares constantly in the air and
much firiRn. The patrol failed to re
turn and the members were posted as
"fmissinR. ~ the fear being general that
the Americans had been captured.
Startling Sprint
This morning, in broad daylight, the
officer and his eight men suddenly
emerged from n shell hole, close to the
German lines, and streakPd it across
tho intervening space TO the American
trenches, the men dOdging other shell
holes and hurdhng obstacles. They
reached i, the American trenches in
safety.
So unexpected was the appearance of
these men and so unusual was their ap
pearance, springing out of the earth
that not o shot was fired from the
German trenches, while the missing Ia
! troll members were greeted by cheers
when the last one tumbled to safety.
The officer explained that he and his
men had been caught by the German
flares and had sought shelter in the
shell hole unit the heavy firing would
die down. This did not happen for two
hours after daylight, after the patro
had spent thirty SIX hours in thel1
| shelter.

SOUGHT BY PALMER
Custodian of Enemy Property
Wants Powers Defined

WASHINGTON, March S-(AssOci-
atcd Press)-Outlines of his plans for
the handling of the enemy property
which comes into his hands as custO
dian Of alien enemy property were Civ
en- to congress yesterday by A. Nit,
rhr1l Palmer.
Authority to take over and admins
ter the property of alien enemies was
conferred by the last session of con
gress and under the provisions of the
measure A. Mitchell Palmer was ap-
pointed custodian. Thus far his efforts
have been chiefly directed to prevent
my Germany from benetitting from
the investment of its citizens in this
country and to preserving the proper
ties intact.
To carry out the great duties of his
office Custodian Palmer finds legisIa
tlOn is required. His present powers
are to take over and administer. He
is asking further legislation to clearly
define the powers which he deems il
necessary to exercise and under such
new legislation as is proposed he may
dIsimtrgrate business establishments by
selling to American interests. Through
this, when the war ends, many great
companies that were formerly German
business houses would be American
while the proceeds of the sale woulC
be kept intact instead of the invest
mtnt in its original form.
1t is understood the legislation HI
seeks will be embodied in the urgent de
fricnry bill which is to provide sutti
rirnt appropriations for the conduct o
