S10,0OO,000 to Fight Flu
Asked by Lewis.

Following conferences with Sur
geOn General Blue of the U. S. Pub
lie Health Service, Senator Lewis of
Illinois presented a resolution yes
terday authorizing an additional ex-
penditure by the Federal govern
ment of S1O.OOO,OOO to fight the
influenza epidemic.
This sum is intended to be spent
by the health authorities of the diff
ferent cities and States in co-opera-
tion with the national health Of
ficials. 1t is in addition to the mil
lion dollar appropriation already
provided for by Congress.
In every state where conditions
are urgent a representative of the
Public Health Service has already
been placed in charge of a Federal
organization in cooperation with
the State or local authorities.
a nationwide survey of condi-
tions, indicates that the disease has
not yet run its course in civilian
communities. The statistics for the
army camps, however. continue to
show a gradual failing off of new
cases and deaths.
During the past "a hours there
were 4.454 new cases of influenza
among the troops in training in this
country as compared with a total
of 5,66S new cases reported Tues
day. New pneumonia infections
numbered 800 as against 1854 for
the day before. The daily deaths
from all diseases decreased from 10
for the previous 24-hOur period to
6S4 for yesterday.

FAVORABLE ARMISTICE
WOULD CRUSH PRUSSIA
Nscount Miner Not in Favor of
Drastic Requirements.

London, Oct T.-Yiscount Miner.
the British War Minister. In an In
terview published In the Evening
Standard today expresses the opinion
that an armistice which will strength
en- the allies militarily will be sue
cessful in obtaining a decisive victory
for the allies and In bringing ABOUT
the collapse OF Prussianisrn.
The War Minister says he believes
the allies should not attempt to die
tate drastic changes in the personal
constitution of the German govern
ment. since to do so would stiffen the
waning resistance of the German
armies and people.
yiscount Miner says further the
transformation of the German gov
ernment now progressing should not
be hurriedly denounced as a sham and
that il is in the interest of the allies
to see a stable goyernment main
tained in Germany since, IL that
country be "Bolshevikified" IT would
be difficult or perhaps impossible to
obtain reparation.
The War Minister anticipates COM
plete allied victory, either by un-
conditional surrender or by armis-
tice conditions to be imposed on the
enemy.

WAR EXPERTS WEIGH
TEXT OF HUN REPLY
Verdict Is That Added Sham Con-
cessions Will Come.

A military forecast of the German
chancellor's re1:y to President Will
sons last note is that 1t will make
some more apparent concessions, but
will not be satisfactory.
Specifically, these authorities say
it is evident from what has already
appeared that instead of the Kaiser's
abdication he is merely abdicating
certain prerogatives he has under the
imperial constitution. and proposes to
try once more through Prince Max
to offer the German ilea of the
characterization of Germany to Pres
ident Wilson. What has been done.
therefore, they say has come out of
Germany with Germany's consent, so
that it may be known in advance
what the Kaiser is willing to do in
order to save his crown.
The concessions, these observers
say, will be mainly the surrender by
the Kaiser of the right to make
secret treaties; the surrender of hfs
present right to declare war without
the consent of the federal council
ana the Reichstag, except in cases
of actual invasion.
This move is plainly, the military
authorities think, a subterfuee to
80 NAAANFu DldleS ana Ine
allies on the suestion of the suffi-
cheney of such changes and conces-
sions.
They point out that up to this time
there has been no definition of terms
or recitation of, terms which. n
adopted by Germany, would be a
characterization of the empire within
the full meaning of the Presidents
reply.
1t is believed by War Department
officials that the Chancellor will
waive in his reply his suggestion
that the terms of the proposed arm
istice be arranged by a mixed com
mission. 1t is now understood here
that what the Chancellor meant
was: as he had spoken in the name
OF Austria. and the President had
accepted Prince Maximilian's propo-
sitions, the Prince would have
named an Austrian. and perhaps a
Turkish plenipotentiary to deal with
representatives of the allies.
The answer Of the President how
ever was directed to Germany alone,
so that the German reply may not
carry this time, and that the Ger
man Commander in Chief and Gen,
Foch shall arrange the terms.

Nobody Can Tell When You Dark.
en- Gray, Faded Hair with
Sage Tea.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
rea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed, bring back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded
streaked or gray. Years ago the only
way to get this mixture was to make
It al home. which is mussy and trou-
blesorne Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for ''wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" you will get
a large bottle of this famous old
recipe. improved by the addition of
other ingredients, for about 80 cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair. as it does 1t so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with II and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the
gray hair isappears. and after an
other application or two. your hair
becomes BEAUTIFULLY dark, glossy and
attractive.
