In the head, eyes, ears, back or other
parts Of the body and a feeling Of Sc.
we're sickness. In most Of the cases the
symptoms disappear after three or four
days, the patient then rapidly o
ing. Some of the patients, however,
develop pneumonia, or Inflammation
Of the ear, or meningitis, and many of
these complicated cases die. Whether
this so-called Spanish influenza is
identical with the epidemics Of infuen-
"a Of earlier years is not yet known.
"Epideniics of influenza have visited
this country since I647. 1t is interest
ing to know that this first epidemic
was brought here from Valencia,
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics Of the dis
ease. In 1889 and 1890 an epidemic
Of influenza, starting somewhere in the
Orient, spread first to Russia and
thence over practically the entire CIV
ilized world. Three years later there
was another flare-up Of the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide
ly over the United States.
although the present epidemic is
called Spanish Influenza there is no
reason to believe that 1t originated in
Spain. Some writer's who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at
tention to the fact that the Germans
mention the disease as occurring along
the eastern front In the summer and
fall of 1917"
How can Spanish Influenza" be rec
ognized7
There is as yet no certain way in
which a single case of Spanish infiu-
enza' can be recognized. On the 9TH
err hand, recognition is easy where
there is a group of cases. In contrast
to the outbreaks Of ordinary coughs
and colds, which usually occur in the
cold months, epidemics of influenza
. may occur at any season of the year.
Thus the present epidemic ragged most
intensely in Europe in May, June and
July. Moreover, in the case Of ordi-
nary colds, the general symptoms
(fever, pain, depression) are by no
means as severe or as sudden In their
onset as they are In influenza. Final
ly, ordinary colds do not spread
through the community so rapidly or
so extensively as does influenza.
"In most cases a person taken sick
with influenza feels sick rather sud-
denly. He feels weak, has pains in the
eyes, ears, head or back, and may be
sore all over. Many patients feel
dizzy, some vomit. Most of the pa
tients complain of feeling chilly, and
with this comes a fever In which the
temperature rises to 100 to 104. In
most cases the pulse remains relative
" slow.
"In appearance one Is struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. His
eyes and the inner side of his eyelids
may be slightly 'bloodshot,' or con-
gested,' as the doctors say. There
may be running from the nose, or
there may be some cough. These signs
of a cold may not be marked; never
theless the patient looks and feels very
sick.
"In addition to the appearance and
the symptoms as already described,
examination of the patients blood may
aid the physician in recognizing Span
tsh influenza for 1t has been found

FIRE STARTED go YEARS
AGO is STILL BURNING

Today is the sixtieth anniversary OF
the fire at Summit Hill and marked re-
newed efforts on the part of the Lee
high Coal and Navigation company to
kill two birds with the one stone, y
by starting new stripping work to
get more tonnage and to attempt
stamping out the fire at the same time.
Over $1,000,000 has been spent to
confine this mine fire. 1t is now hoped
to save tens of thousands of the very
best anthracite out of the fire area be-
fore it shall be consumed. Under the
direction of Vice President Ludlow a
large force of workmen began work in
new sector with steam shoyels The
plan is to strip or remove the top of
the mountain that overlies the burning
section and take away veins of coal
that lie in the path of the fire. The
area to be stripped is 400 yards wide
and mile long. The average strip
ping depth is 40 feet
The Summit Hill fire was caused by
the flaming lamp in a miners cap as
he was going out at the end of his
days work. The flame ignited an oil
soaked timber and the next morning
he tunnel entrance was the mouth of a
roaring furnace. Despite all efforts
the fire has never been extinguished.

THE CONTRAST

The German towns into which the
allied armies are advancing are gay
with lights, theatres and movies are
crowded, food is plenty, churches and
cathedrals rise in unsecured beauty.
Street cars are running, factories are
operating regularly. The German sol
diers, many OF them happily reunited
with their families. have resumed their
former occupations. Happy women,
pretty young girls and rosy children
are everywhere.
What contrast all this is to the
towns of France and Belgium, laid
waste by the Germans! Lille, Sois-
sons, st. Quentin and Ypres and many
another! There are not so many sol
diers left TO return to them, but when
they do come back, what will they
find? The very towns wiped out, the
houses in ruins, their families scat
tered, dead or worse.
There are no cars, no factories, no
lights, no food, not even streets. OF
the beautiful cathedrals perhaps a
broken spire remains, or bit OF carv-
ed stone, TO show that here was once
n house OF God
The women smile but little, for these
are the women upon whom German
soldiers wreaked their will. The little
children who were just as innocent
and coniiding as the German children
where are they now, what are they
like. and who is to blame? And the
young girls. once pretty and blushing
like any young girls, like the young
German girls now smiling at our sol
diers-who violated their innocence
and stole away their youth?
There is something sickening in the
contrast between SNUG. comfortable
Germany, welcoming her soldiers after
their debauch OF wanton cruelty, and
these poor, desolate French towns
with their more desolate people.
1t is well to bear this contrast in
mind. as the peace conference as
sembles. Then there will be little dan
ger that any peace terms dictated to
Germany will seem too harsh to any
nation save Germany herself. AS a
matter of fact, 1t will be a difficult
matter for any men inherently decent
to impose terms that are harsh enough
to be adequate punishment for all the
ruin and horror that Germany has
wrought.

A TIME TO ORGANIZE

In the Evening Capital of yesterday
appeared the statement of an Annapo-
lis man relative to securing for An
napolis the new naval experiment sta
ton and research laboratory, this gen.
tleman pointing out that these import
ant government projects may be lost If
some action is not taken by Annapolis
citizens. although the ffaval advisory
board had designated Annapolis as the
location for them.
Here is a project involving an ini-
tial expenditure of 100000 by the
government. Following the establish
ment of the stations there will be a
constant expenditure for maintenance
and a still further large sum by those
called to the service here by them. In
all, ii means great deal to Annapolis
in a commercial way.
Yet this important enterprise seems
likely to be lost to the city for the
mere reason that Annapolis citizens
are now taking sufficient interest in ii
to make an effort to secure it, Other
cities are working for it but Annapo-
lis is passively allowing these cities TO
wrest away from her that which is her
due.
III ever there was time in the his
tory of this town when there was a
crying need for an organization of
loyal, boosting. active, determined citi-
zens it is right now. With the whole
country undergoing period of read
justment and municipalities working
feverishly to secure for themselves
some of the advantages of the read
justment which will accrue, Annapolis
is apathetic.
An outstanding feature of the citi-
zenship of Annapolis is pride of the
town. The citizens boast of Annapolis
and boast of their pride in it, Yet they
are content TO bask in the sunshine of
past glories and not awaken to the
emergencies of the hour. Glorious as
the past may be, there is a present
much more glorious. And this same
present has problems which must be
met
Let us make good on our boosted
pride in Annapolis. Let US form an
organization of loyal. aggressive citi.
zens which will be a power for &C.
complishment in the good year 1919
But, if we are going TO do anything
now is the time to do it. The Evening
