GRIP CAME VIA U-BOATS.
Spanish Influenza's Invasion of u.
S. Started From German Pirates,
Sanitary Expert Says.

Washington. Sept. l9.--That the out
breaks of Spanish influenza, which have
given army officials some concern, may
have been started by German agents
who were put ashore from submarine,
was the belief expressed today by Lieut..
Col. Phillip :. Doane, head of the Health
and Sanitation Section of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation.
ut is quite possible that the epidemic
was started by Huns sent ashore by
boche submarine commanders, he said.
We know that men have been ashore
from German submarine boats, Tor they
have been in New York and other places.
IL would be quite easy for one OF these
German agents to turn loose Spanish
influenza germs in theatre or some
other place where large numbers OF
persons are assembled.
The Germans have started epidemlcs
in Europe. and there is no reason why
they should hc particularly gentle with
America OF course, there Is no way
of proving that the disease was started
here by German submarine agents, but
it is well within tho range of possibility.
\ program of prevention was started
yesterday in all the Eastern Shipyards.
Colonel Doanc sent his staff physician,
DIR. ". 7. Coon. TO Poston To take charge
of the situation and instructed {. +.
Turner, his sanitary engineer, to ask
the port authorities of that city To cX-
anime all passengers of incoming ships.
All shipyards on the East coast and
in the Great Lakes region have received
instructions as To methods of combating
