Influenza, Pneumonia and Fstiore

We publish an extremely interesting
letter from DR.. w. N. Cowles on the
evidence obtained at Groton School
through twelve years that the develop-
ment Of pneumonia is often closely asso
clated with acute fatigue. DR.. Cowles
believes that the heavy mortality from
pneumonia in the army camps is asso-
ciated with the same cause.
1t is difficult to realize how severe the
epidemic has been in these camps. Up
to last Saturday the number Of reported
cases exceeded 2S0,00O. From these
there were $4,000 deaths. The serious
ness of the situation is indicated bv
the fact that the death rate rose last
week from normal of between two and
four per thousand to over two hundred
Some equally high death rates have been
reported in v;cinities engaged in very
strenuous activity, as for example in
the shipyards of Staten Island and
around Philadelphia 1t is equally strik-
ing that both the majority of influenz,
cases and of deaths have come from iust
the age of greatest physical activity.
namely, from eighteen to forty.
In view of the extreme difficulty Of
dealing with the pneumonia cases after
they develop and the very high mortal
ity prevailing. it seems to us that DIR.

On Lord Miner

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In your leading article of Sunday
you refer to the fact that do not accent
what IS reported to be Lord Miners view
Of the kind of victory which must be won
over Germany if the world is to be safe
for democracy. | hold with the President
and people of the United States that the
German autocracy must disappear entire
ly before we lay down our arms
May ! add that in any opinion I have
ever given of Lord Miner I have frankly
recognized the zeal with which he has as
sisted in the prosecution of the war and
his immense industry as a public servant =?
My point has been that we must and can
break Germany's military machine. either
with or without the assistance of internal
trouble in that country. P. w. WILSON.
American correspondent of "The London
Daily News"
New York, Oct. 21, 1918.

who have been responsible for more than
four years of organized frightfulness.
Do the German people know that their
honor, If any survives among them,
would require to be heroically redeemedy
No. They have the effrontery to
"trust" the President, in the mater of
an arm:stice, to approve Of no demand
which would be irrcS nc liable with the
honor of the German people"
1t is declared that this "offer of
peace and an armistice comes from q
government which is supported
by the approval Of an overwhe Ginning
a.orty of the German people"
So the war has been supported by an
overwhelming ma. ..ovity Of The German
people. 1t is an insu that they should
"offer" us either an armistice or peace
Let us be far. Germany's answer is
not to be critic zed on the ground that
the German pc, pie omit explicitly to say
what they prop Sc to do with the Hohen-
zollerns, if anything, or that they are
ready to surrender. They have n been
asked to surrender, nor to reserve any
fate for the Hohenzollerns.
They have maneuvred for an armis-
tice which would save their precious
Fatherand from an invasion and lead
to peace conference based upon Mr..
Wilson's conditions, which provide for
Germany's restoration to free seas and
free trade, and omit to mention moral
punishment or reparation.
If that is what the American people
their peace. If not, then now is the
time to speak.
New-York tribune., 1918-10-22

Cowles's suggestion is worthy of very
serious oonsiu Grafton. In other words,
it would seem as if the strongest indi
Gated measures were isolation and COM
plete rest. These are, in fact, precisely
the measures which have been most in
sisted on by physic ans everywhere, and
have been included in almost all the
bulletins issued. 1t is we'll to remember
that the danger is far from over. and
the obvious moral is: Don't indulge in
feats of physical exerton these days,
espec ally if YOU have or have just had a
touch of influenza.

Back on the Job!

Somewhat oistracling days, these last
two or three weeks---a new German
peace drive, so EVERY manpuvred
that, in spite of the repetition of the
trick and of all our good resolutions, it
unquest tionably had very VIDE and
serious effect; new Liberty Loan that
rolled up the greatest total in our his
terry or any ether nations; a nation at
fever pitch of apprehension lest all
this fine and tremend us national emo
tion should be dissipated on the detailed
discuss.on of possible or probable peace
terms. Add to all this the onset of the
most serious epidemic which the coun-
try has known in a quarter of century,
and it is not to be wondered if it woke
up Monday morning in somewhat of
Monday morning mood. 1t generally did.
Well, in spite of the carefully timed
and highly demora'izing effect of the
German peace drive, the loan rolled
over with magnificent success. Surgeon
General Blue, who has gained the right
to speak with authority" through his
remarkable prediction of the grip cpl
demic six weeks in advance, cheers us
with the announcement that, at least, in
the East, where it has ragged so fiercely,
the crest Of the dstemper seems prob
ably past. On the subject of peace
terms the nations voice spoke so might
lily, so unhesitantly and so unanimously
that no ruler on earth could have failed
to hear it and understand. Any arpre-
hension that our counsels shall be dis
tracted or divided, or that Germany, ty
playing upon our vanity can drive "A
wedge between us and our unbending
allies, is happily gone. 1t is fair time
to get back on the job.
There are two millions Of our best
blood over on the other side who fave
no time for any Monday morning moods,
no serious apprehension or distractions
as to what their job is-over there.
Theirs is to fight, and fight until the
Huns are beaten. And our business
now is to provide them with all the
munitions and all the food that is
needed to keep them there and in fight
ing trim; to make them ships and
build them aeroplanes and manufacture
tanks and submarine chasers and every
manner Of thing that the success of the
war shall demand. For this is the
pledge we have given to the world, and
we are goinr through.

The First Wave

We are glad to put before our read
ers these sentences written home by an
American Red Cross worker who has
been IN France for the last year, through
the dark days of last March and June, as
we'll as in the victorious weeks now un-
rolling:
| do hope that the wives and parents
who have lost relatives will realize that
no matter where or how it happened
they were the ofes that saved TIE day
here. 1t really was the violent. reckless
energy and expenditure of everything
and the speed, that hit the Germans like
torpedo. 1t rea'l 'ly was the first men,
including navy, army, aviators and en-
glneers, who made the moral effect that
is telling now. 1t was like the first
wave and so afraid that some of
them will simply feel that their particu~
lar one might have been spared or was
wasted.
This is high note and true one.
Most Americans have already lost some
one dear to them, friend or relative.
And, often, the finest and noblest have
been the first to fall, as they were the
first to 60, 1t is the way of war. of
sacrifice, which knows only the will to
go forward and counts as nothing the
world that is left behind.
TO all of us, and especially to those
whose loss is deepest, the thought ex
pressed by this war worker in Paris holds
healing and inspiration. The plight of
the Allies was, indeed, desperate last
spring. America was in tine, as the
event proved; but how nearly we had
missed our chance, had proved false to
all our ideals, to the whole world of
civilization! Only the heroic onrush of
that first wave of arriving Americans
saved the day.
Others have come, are coming. There
can be no primacy among such heroes.
But in an especial sense the first Ameri-
cans to fall, giving their all swiftlv.
recklessly were the saviors of freedom
and justice the world around. We can
feel peculiar pr'de in their sacrifice.
and deeper obligation to see to it tn t.
so far as in US les, their gift shall not
have been in vain.

and not backward. as the phrase Gus
tomarily runs. The practical point is
that for a great number of tmepieces
and timekeeping mechaniSms turning
TIE hands backward is likely to work a
serious disturbance to delicate mechan-
isms. But there is also a bit of psvcho
logical effect in the difference. Bv set
ting our clocks forward last spring, and
rising that much earlier, we have posi-
bly, gained a good many surplus hours.
Putting the hands of the clock forward
might in some sense personify the capi
talizing of the gain. For the rest it
seems on the whole distinctly on the side
of human happiness that we do not turn
back in anything. The line Of least re-
sistance seems forward alike with our

Defacing the Label

Alfred r. Smith has been elected to
office fifteen times on Tammany ticket.
He owes his nomination for Governor to
his aftiliation with Tammany.
Mr.. Smith is a modest, genial and thor
oughly likable politician. His personal
record is clean. Tammany has elected
many personally clean men to office. She
sent George B. Mcclellan to Congress
and gave him two terms as Mayor of this
city. Tammany put in the Mayors office
Abram S. Hewitt and William J. Gaynor.
But she has never elected man to office
whose friendly services she didn't expect
to profit by And she has never con-
tlnued man in Office who has disap-
pointed her self-interested expectations.
A man who has been elected fifteen
times on Tammany ticket is man on
whom Pammany has learned to depend.
People outside Tammany Hall like Mr..
Smith. But people inside Tammany Hall
like him still better. His heart is with
them. He celebrates "Old Home Week"
in the venerable brick pile in East Four
teenth Street, which Judge Gaynor said
ne couldn't find without the aid of a no.
llceman On the celebrated occasion when
he began his speech of acceptance there
with the naive remark: $50 this is Tam
many HALL"
Mr.. Smith is not initiating Mr.. Gaynor.
Ii would be poor imitation But he is
trying to give the impression that his
long-continued End intimate relations
with the masters of Tammany Hall will
leave no trace on his conduct in office if
he should be elected Governor.
Human nature is human nature: and
Iammany leaders are fairly good judges
OF it, Not that they are infallible. Thew
were badly stung in the case of William
Sulzer. With that tragedy in mind would
they so soon invite another? Wou,d
they gamble on the election of a second
member of the Hall whose gratitude
would freeze stiff the day after Inaugural
tlon and whose attitude coward the GOV.
ganlzatlon" would be distinguished bv
the hauteur of the man who has arrived
toward his humble but expectant noo,
relatives?
Mr.. Smith is mistaken if he thinks
that ne can impress the public with the
idea that he is going to starve the Tam.
many Tiger, as Gaynor did, once he gets
to Albany. Gaynor was an outsider
humorlst and cynic. Tammanv's nanps
gave him sardonic satisfaction Rut
Mr.. Smith is kindly, whole-souled. pen-
erous and loyal. He utterly lacks in his
composition the Gaynor streak of cruelty
to striped animals.
The Democratic candidate for Cow.
ernor is out of his role posing as a palld
non-partsan and near refcrmer. After
hfteen successive Tanmany candidates.
ne cannot thrill the populace with these
lnt'mations Of super Tammanyism. His
stage play doesn't even get on Tam
manys nerves. Mr.. Smith is no Iapo
no Cassius, no William Sulzer.
If the people want to have Tammarv
state administration they can get one bv
electing Tammanv's ticket. If thew don't
want one they will reelect the present
admirable Republican administration.
