and q beautifully embroidered emblem
on the left sleeve. are not sufficient
honor to Miss Callahan, who wants

SPANISH MAlADY . MAY HAVE SPREAD TO THIS. COUNTRY
Spanish Influenza, Ravaged German Army May Have
 Reached the U. s.
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
 Washington, Sept. 11-Spanish in- fuenZa, the strange prOstrating mala- dy which recently ravaged the Ger man army and later spread into
 France and England with such discom- fitting effects on the civil population has been brought to some of the Amer ian Atlantic coast cities, officials here
 fear, but they are awaiting further in- vestigation and developments before forming definite opinions. In the opinion of officials, the
 strange infection has been brought over by persons returning on Ameri- can transports.
 There is little means of combating the disease, except by absoutely in quarantine and that obviously is inn possible at this time because it would require interruption of intercourse be- tween communities as drastic as was
 resorted to in the dreaded days of yell low fever in the south.
 Precautionary measures are cOnsid- cred the best weapons to combat the
 malady and as the disease is a new one to American physicians, the gov ernment possibly may take the men, ace in hand by issuing countrywide
 warning and general instruction of how to avoid the infection if possible and how best to meet it if it be con-
 tracted.
 Spanish influenza, altho short lived and of practically no permanent ser ious results, is most distressing ail-
 ment which prostrates the sufferer for a few days during which he suffers the acme of discomfort.
