DEATHS IN DECEMBER
Influenza Helps in Bringing Number
Up to ~

There were II deaths during the month
of December in Burlington, according to
the certificates which the law requires
be filed in the office of the city clerk by
the 10th of the following month. OF this
number the cause or contributing cause
of death was given as influenza In Al cases.
Several deaths were out-of-town patients
who were brought to local institutions
in a precarious condition. The number
II is unusually large, however. and has
been exceeded only during the influenza
epidemic.
A year ago in December there were but
36 deaths, and that under ordinary cond-
tons would be an average number. The
number last year went as low as 16 resi-
dent deaths in January.
The influenza did not seem to be the
respector of ages that 1t was reported to
be at first. The oldest person to die in
December was %, and the influenza was
given as contributing cause in that
case. A number of people over GO years
of age died from pneumonia following
influenza. There were three persons to
die in the SOS. One was 49, another "a
and the third 81. In the 70's eight died.
The big increase in mortality was of per-
sons in the 2Os and younger. The in
crease in the death rate was not among
elderly people

NAVAL VETERAN HERE
Captain Henry G. Colby Has Two Wars
to His Credit

Captain Henry G. Colby. Y. S. N, and
wife are spending a week at the Van
Ness house. Captain Colby has been
making his home of late in Vergennes
He is one of the oldest living naval
officers, having begun his career in 1852
and also serving through the Spanish
American war, so that he has two wars
to his credit He first entered the SER
vice as assistant paymaster and during
the war with Spain had an important
position in the supply department at
Washington. He Is now so years or
age but appears about Go.
Practically every country in the
world was visited by him during his
very long term of service before his
retirement. This included three years
in the orient, where he obtained an
intimate knowledge of the Japanese, for
whom he has the highest regard.
In his opinion the Japs are more
willing to go $3.50 with the United
States and he thinks that one outcome
of the war will be frendlier feeling
than ever before between these two
countries Captain Colby, who has
rank equivalent to that of colonel
in the army. hasn't a lot Of respect for
the German navy, and thinks that its
cowardice in not coming out occupies
unique place in the history OF the
world. for never before did such
powerful navy lie down without a
struggle. He has the highest praise
for the youngsters who have succeeded
him on the ocean for their work In
Keeping the seas clean so that supplies
and men could go across in an unin-
terrupted line throughout the war.
