him.

INVESTIGATION OF
FLU CAUSES PENDS
Congress Expected To Appro-
PIRATE Money For Research
Work.

Washington, Sept. 5.-( United Press)
Favorable action ON the resolution to
Investigate the influenza danger was
predicted today by Senator France,
Maryland, chairman Of the senate com
lmittee on public health and national
quarantine which has the measure PEND
ing.
81 think the committee IS action will
be favorable" Senator France said,
although imagine that there will be
ebjeetion to appropriating -, 900 for
the purpose as called for in the resolIl-
tion. 1t probably will be reported with
Ia smaller amount us that seems & little
larger than is needed for a scitntific in
lvcstigatien. y
Senator Franco, himself a physician
in Baltimore, Maryland, is fully awake
to the need of discovering prevontatives
for the inflaenz& epidemic which swept
the country last year taking grim toll
of over one-half million lives. Physi-
clans are agreed that until some way of
combating such menace is found, pub
lie health is unsafe and it is the gov
ernment S duty to aid thorough study
in every way.
representative Fess of Ohio, author
of the bill, which provides $l,500,000
fund for the influenza investigation,
said:
with no influenza in the country to-
day to any degree, congress is apt to
think there is no need for immediate ae-
tiOa. But the fact is that all medical
authorities agree there is liable to be a
repetition of the epidemic which caused
ten times more deaths in this country
when it recently appeared than the to-
tai losses of the American Expeditions
AIRY Forces.
Congress would be guilty of gross
neglect ii it did not provide for an in
vestigation of the causes of this dis
ease. That is the all important thing
we must discover first and it will re-
quire large appropriation to obtain
the services of the most noted scien-
fists.
"The cure can not he found, medical
authorities tell us, until tho cause is as
certained and the germ found. That
has been the way cures of other dis
eases, such as yellow fever, have been
found, after medical authorities were
baffled for some time.h

ported to the hoase, and he viii make
every effort to secure for it place

aetmcnt will be speedy.
Action should be taken, he believes,
before the wather comes that encour-
ages the spread Of the disease and tn.s

paign to pass the appropriation.
