The Champion OF Fair Play, Chi
cago liquor paper, on October 20,
made the claim that scores of physi-
clans have found whisky highly sue
cessful means of resisting influenza.
This same paper states that the chief
medical officer at Camp Devans de-
clared that successful results have
come from giving alcoholic stimulants
to soldiers sick with influenza. A dis
patch from Camp Devans to the Bos-
ton Post says, Whisky does not hold
any position in the opinion OF the
medical corps as q pfeventive against
influenza and pneumonia, and none is
being used as a preventive"
Camp Sherman Lie Nailed
The story about whisky being ship
ped to Camp Sherman was also denied
in a statement by Major F. c. Duvall,
Camp Adjutant There is not word
of truth in the statement that car
loads of whisky have been shipped
and used to counteract the epidemic
at Camp Sherman. In Boston the Re-
tail Liquor Dealers Association sent
out a letter to physicians offering to
fill prescriptions free of charge for in
fluenza patients unable to pay for the
whisky. The letter was worded to give
the impression that the Commissioner
of Health had recommended the use
of alcohol. When this came to his at
tention, Dr. Woodward, the Commits
sioner of Health, announced that he
did not authorize such use of his
name. He said, 81 did not advocate its
use to ward off influenza attacks
Nothing could be more unwise than
the use of liquor and | would not rec
ommend it under any circumstances"

DISPLAYS MICROBES
 OF TRENCH FEVER
Experimenter Lets Them Feed on His Arm While Experiments Are | Being Made

American Army Laboratory, France, November 16.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-"This is the case Of trench fever" said the bacteriologist as he opened a small metal box about the size of a pill-box and disclosed three tiny germs lying beneath bits of leaf. One of the particles was so small micro scope was needed to see 1t, but two others were we'll developed and lively, one or them lying on it's back with its legs up.
 They are thoroughbreds,' he' added referring to the germs as though they were high bred race horses. The thor oughbreds are kept for research ana eN- perimental purposes, it was explained. This species conveys trench fever much as the mosquito malaria from one in- fected person to another But as these thoroughbreds had not been in contact with infection they could not convey IL. They were therefore harmless, so much so that they were fed by being piaceo on the bacteriologist arm.
 Rolling up his sleeve he showed the pin-pricks where they had made tneir Ia st meal. It was a harmless abrasion, and thus the thoroughbreds were kept for the continuing research which IS clearing up this troublesome phase or army disease, trench fever.
 Bacteriological research Is but one or many branches of the extensive research work being carried on here by the cen tral laboratory of the American army in Europe. It is very practical work, dealing with the many new maladies coming from gas attacks. gun shock, the subterranean life in trenches, as well as the infinite variety of surgical problems growing out of wounds from ne wand deadly explosives.

vladivostok. November 16.-(Correspon- dence of the Associated Press.)-A Chin csc general with his seven wives and a small bodyguard walked into the station at Harbin few days since as the Vlad- ivostok train was about to start and de- manded accommodation for himself and party
 The Chinese Eastern, although a joint Russian Chinese property, is operated by the Russians in conjunction with the Si- berian railway. .
 The Russian station-master consulted his watch, shrugged, and said, "Nilza, '' which is the Russian equivalent for it can't be done." He explained that the train was full and it was leaving time
 Without further barley the general dis patched members of his bodyguard to hold the train. One man clambered into the locomotive and covered the engine men with revolver, Others mounted on the car platforms.
 Then the general ordered the station master to proucre car ''qui-qui', which is the Chinese equivalent for instantly without any back talk on pain of very serious consequences to himself. Twenty minutes later the train pulled out with the Chinese general and hi. seven wives aboard in a spacious pri. vate car.

ALABAMA INDUSTRY PLANNING RETURN
 ID PEACE STATUS
Optimistic Reports Regard ing Future Come From All Parts of the
 State
Ry WILLIAM L. GoRMLEY

Montgomery, November 16-(Spec1aL) Alabama's industries are planning to re- turn to the peace-time programme With just as little trouble and inconvenience to the workmen as was experienced when this country, with little warning and no preparations. was thrown into the world war more than a year ago. Reports indicate that within the next two months machinery will be adjusted for the mak- ing of peace time necessities.
 Alabama has hardly had time to give this matter consideration, because or the demonstrations that resulted from the signing of the armistice, but plans for the future will soon be made public. Two representatives of the Alabama branch of the national council of de- fense. Lloyd M Hooper, chairman, and Fred H. Gornley, executive secretary, have been in Washington week con ferring woth the war industries board. From this conference probably will come a relaxation of the states mighty eff forts to produce nothing but things ab- solutely essential to the winning of the war.
 The representatives were called to Washington before the war ended, and at that time drastic orders, prohibiting the erection of anything in the state that could be postponed, were being en- forced. The signing of the armistice while the conference was in session pro- babiy resulted in discussion regarding the peace-time programme.
 From Birmingham, Sheffield, Florence Russellyille, and other north Alabama towns come reports of optimism. In Birmingham, the biggest iron and coal producing territory in the south, indus tries are preparing to sidetrack all their plans for two more years of war. The

Belgian Deportations

Writing in Everybody's of the first de- portations of Belgian civilians into Ger man territory, Brand Whitlock, who saw the whole depressing business in those terrible days of the autumn and winter of 1916, says: '"The pitiless and insenate cruelty, the brutal indifference to all human rights and human dignity that characterized this restoration of human slavery in our time, the violence of every moral sentiment and the strain upon the sympathies imposed by the ruthless deeds that marked it, made those days in many ways the saddest that Belgium up to that time had endured.
 '.The policy of carrying off into slav- cry the people of conquered territory, which in our stupendous illusion we could associate with no other nation ally organized people since mankind had emerged from the long darkness of the Middle Ages was characteristic of the military chiefs who celebrated their ac- tension to undisputed power in Germany by it's inauguration, and they carried it out amid the amazement and horror of the civilized world, with brutal accom- paniments that affirmed the essentially savage qualities of their creed. And that no hideous detail might be wanting, with face of brass they justified it by hypoc- risies that were as revolting as the acts they sought to excuse.
 And If there was any objection or op- position, any moral repugnance any where in the German nation, then or later, 1t never found, so far as know any public voice or utterance. I was told that Bissing disapproved, and that certain of his henchmen disapproved. and I heard stories to the effect that soldiers in executing orders actually wept at the scenes they were compelled to witness, and that even officers turned away in shame. but no one ever gave any public expression to the sentiments that did them such unusual credit"

FINE WORK DONE BY ARMY SURGEONS War Has Not CallOused or Dulled His Fine
 sSensibilities

With the American Armies in the Field, October 4-(Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-War has not cal American army surgeon. Nothing stands out finer or nobler than the tender care and earnest solicitude with which Amer ican military doctors handle their sol dier patients.
 In a three-day trip through the St Mi hiel aactor the correspondent of the As- sociated Press had many opportunities of observing the work of the American medical men. He visited number Of field dressing stations and also several hospitals just back of the battle line, through which hundreds of wounded Americans were passing.
 Disabled American soldiers from the time their wounds are dressed at the ad- vance casualty station to the time they arrive at the last base hospital, receive the most sympathetic and tender care at the hands of the army doctors. They get better care and more attentive treatment than an average person would in peace times. To render the soldier free from pain, to make him comfortable, to cheer his spirit, the American military doctor will exhaust every recourse, will sacri- flee sleep and food and all personal thought of himself.
 Thousands of instances occur every day where army physicians, so absorbed and so sympathetically interested in their pa- tients, will keep night after night an anxious and unbroken vigil over the progrss of their condition, and will rest only when ordered to do so by su- perior officer.
 Besides the use of anesthetics the Yankee doetor caring for his fighting comrade only as he would care for a brother, resorts to hundred other means of relieving the wounded mans distress. In the actual battle zone he has to act as physician and nurse, for no women are permitted in the front lines. It is always impressive to see the gentle. cau- t.ous way he places his patients in bed. the infinite pains he takes to cause them as little suffering as possible when ap- plying or removing dressings and how kindly and reassuringly he speaks to them.
 The ambulance drivers and stretcher bearers spare no pains to see that the sick and wounded in transit from the front over broken French roads suffer no hardship or discomfort.

only thing that is necessary IS woro from Washington that munitions no longer are needed. Then will come the change in machinery. Birmingham must furnish iron for the rebuilding of Bel gium, northern France, Serbia, Russia, and other European countries, which suf- fered from four years of war. The United States will need steel products many years to come, it is stated. and Alabama will furnish her share of this steel.
 Russellyille-one of the towns that has received very little credit for her efforts in winning the war-is reported to have almost doubled in population, because of the erection of several iron ore washers the past few months. At this place there
 has been no let up in work, and the
 laborers probably will never know when these industries cease turning out gov ernment orders.
 Montgomery receives encouraging re- ports from over the state. Indeed, there is surprise expressed that the end of the war had no more effect on the people than to cause them to work harder, and plan bigger things for the future
