INFLUENZA /.
Prompt Action Necessary to Prevent
Recureneeof Epidemic Through
out the Country.

Influenza has again broken out in
Boston and other cities notwithstand-
Ing the strenuous efforts being made to
prevent its recurrence. In New York
City there have been reported to the
Health Bureau an average Of 100 to 125
cases day for the last three weeks,
] but it is claimed by New York anthori-
ties that there is nothing to be alarmed
about, and that occasional cases are.
4 likely to occur during the whole winter,
but it is hoped that even these will.
disappear with the coming Of spring.
In spite Of such assurances the fear
that we may again be visited with this
plague is 50 prevalent that recent
meeting in Chicago Of the American
Public Health Association attracted
representatives from the whole United
States, and also from Canada, for the
purpose Of discussing possible means Of
checking the disease.
In order to prevent unnecessary dan
ger in connection with the bringing Of
troops from Europe, the Mayor of New
York Citk has communicated with the
Executives of the various debarkation
cities along the coast, asking that they
have the War Department keep these
men in camp for at least nine days after
landing before allowing them freedom
to return home or to visit elsewhere.
In this connection it is reported that
local health officials at our national
capital are seriously considering the
closing Of all schools, churches, and
places Of amusement in order to pre-
vent a further spread Of the epidemic
which has again appeared in rather
alarming proportions there. It seems
to be the consensus Of opinion at Wash
ington that there is likely to be another
serious spread of the disease through
out the country unless effective mea-
sures are taken at once to prevent it.
The Surgeon-G General advises that, at
the first sign of a general recurrence of
the epidemic, all public schools should
be closed, for the reason that children
are particularly susceptible<to it.

Monarch to Surrender Wealth.

Rome.-King Victor Emanuel has
decided to surrender all the crown
properties in favor of the peasants and
for national work for former soldiers.
Premier Nitti, at one of the first sit
tings of Parliament, which is to be
opened Wednesday, will make this an
nouncement. The crown properties of
Italy are larger than those of any 9TH
er country, since the house of Savoy
inherited the properties of the rulers
of the II states into which Italy was
divided before the kingdom became
united. During the war the King gave
over his royal palace at Caserta, the
Castle Moscali di Piedmont, for the
use of his soldiers. His intention now
is that the vast lands which he pos
sesses virtually in every region of
Italy shall go to the peasants who
fought in the war, while his palaces,
castles and other buildings shall be
utilized for philanthropic purposes.
