ngton.-Distinguished serV- ice medals may never aG'orn their blOuses, but American bluejackets recently faced possible death as un- rlint hingly as any of the destroyer heroes who battled U-boats. These men comprise the flu" squad Of t~e navy. Under the supervision of nay-l surgeons they have time and aS~in exposed themselves to the deadly germs. They have inhaled Flu" microbes. They have had the little flu" bugs injected into their veirs. They have taken in the cause of the flu" epidemic in every known form.
 Navy phsicians wanted to estab- lish the nature of the flu" germ and something of the way in which the disease is spread. They called for volunteers who would expose themselves to it, as the band of heroic physicians in the famous yellow fever squad" did in solving the mystery of yellow fever.
 Knowing that thousands of vic tins of the flu" had G.ed these 100 sailors volunteered for the duty,
 but to the astOuiShment of the physicians of the navy and of the public health service, not man so exposed or inoculated developed any symptoms of the "flu," Medical is baffled. Every man should have been in bed seriously ill if medical science knew anything of the nature Of the deadly epidemic. But not man developed even a fever or cold.
 The flu" mystery is the title of he public health service record of the experiments. They were carried ou in Boston and San Francisco.
 Thirty men at Boston were in oculated with secretious, filtered aud unfiltered from the upper re- pository passages Of a typical case of influenza ill the active stage or the disease. The material was in :rULuceG, into the nose and throats or members of the "iniluenza squad'4 2y sprays and swabs.
 Each of the 30 kept on showing he most amazing health. Ten vol l4teers visited the Chelsea naval hospital and allowed influenza pa ien.s to cough and sneeze in their aces. Each was exposed to the nr uenza for about three quarters 9f an hour. And all continued dis sustinaly healthy.
 Blood from five patients with typ Cal cases of influenza was inject d into the veins of ten men of he squad. None became i'll.

American BIuejackets Thrive On
 "Flu'' Germs; Doctors Baffled
One Hundred Boys from Navy Face Possible Death in Effort to Check Spread of Disease: lnoculat-
 cd With Germs, But Not One Takes Disease

by medical science, wee introduced in the nostrils of members of the squad; a filtered suspension of wash ings from the upper ais passages of an acute case of influenza was dropped in the eyes of two members and more was injected into anoth- CT with a hypoGermic needle; but none took the influenza. The influ- enza is q mystery, that's all. Sci ence is still baffled.
 "Sanitarians will dc well," Sur geon General Blue comments, ito go on applying the general Drinci- ples of control that are based on tha justifiable assumption that the disease is a droplet infection. l be- lieye, however, that we have not given enough consideration to the hands and mouth as part of in lection, nor have we sufficiently em' phasized the possible infectiyity Of the earliest stages of the disease."
 The public health service expects to continue the exeriments and the 100 heroe of the influenza squad will again and again expose them selves to the fatal epidemic with he hope that the veil may be lifted anl humanity made safe from it.

Most of the single men among the strikers are leaving for other dis tricts, as there is no likelyhood for a settlement of the strike in the near future owing to the attitude of the mine owners, while the miners and smeltermen are just as determined not to accept the proposed cut of wages.
 Eleven alleged Aliens have been ar rested who will very likely be deport- ed. These men have made themselves very obnoxious owing to. their radical ism and the constant agitation car ried on by them.
