TO FIGHT INFLUENZA

Mr.. w. w. Ball, Jr., Chairman of the
Mason County Council of Defense has
received a letter from Edward w.
Hines, Chairman Of the Kentucky
Council, asking cooperation in fight
ing a threatened influenza pneumonia
Epidemic this fall
The letter, in part, says: "ln pre-
pairing to prevent recurrence of the
epidemic Of last winter we must cor
rect unsanitary living and housing
conditions that are causing unneces-
sary sickness and death every year al
most equal to that of the Influenza
pneumonia epidemic"
The high death rate of the last cpl
demic was due in large part to the
shortage OF doctors on account of the
war, Mr. Hines contends.

THE MONEY QUESTION.

Yesterday from $l.04 to 1.273. This
change in the rate Of exchange follows
what has taren place all over the world.
The value of the English pound, the
French franc, the Italian lire, and the
German mark have also been affected.
Where prey i0usly about five local francs
equalled an American dollar, now over
six are required.
The Government wishes to assure the
public that there is no cause for alarm.
The situation has been given immediate
and full consideration. Fortunately yes
terday morning, the Code Commission
Was ID session in the Administration
Building, so that all the members of the
Governors staff and legal talent on the
Commission were Immediately called into
consultation by the Governor. The lead
ing local employers Of labour, a repre-
sentative Of the Bank, and the Chairman
of the Colonial Council were also cOn-
ferred with.
The National Bank informed the Gov
arnment that they had decided to cal
cuate all bills held by them for c0llec-
ton yesterday, whether due or not
due, at the old rate Of exchange,
$l.05. in order not to cause any loss
10 merchants Wno had imported goods
through The Bank and perhaps had
sold them at a normal rate; goods coming
ia after October 10Th; 1919, however, are
to be paid at the new rate. The mer-
chants having the opportunity in the
meanNnile 70 regulate the prices of in
coming goods according to the new rates
Waich must be paid by them.
The employers of labor agreed, in or
der that rhe purchasing power of the
frame may remain the same during the
present temporary %fuctuating rate of
exchange, to continue to pay the present
scale of wages, plus a bonus equal to the
f"uctuating value Of the franc. For in
stance, the man who has previously re-
seivad a dollar a day (say five francs)
will hereafter receive in addition to his
pay as much as a bonus as equals the
loss in exchange.
Those merchants who have raised their
prices, since yesterday, more than 23W
are doing so unfairly. The Food Com
mission w meet this TO morning to set
new prices based on the new rates of
exchange. and their new list will be pub
Iished promptly.
The Government repeats the state
ment tina there is no cause for alarm,
and it requests all persons to cooperate
with it until the money situation again
becomes normal.
Unnecessary purchases should nos be
made. Purchases should be confined to
necessaries, and luxuries should not be
bought at the present time.
It is thought that the present situation
will be but temporary and the money
market will again be stabilized.-S
Thomas Bulletin, Oct. 18th.
, 1919-10-18

At a meeting held in the theatre yes
terday the merchants decided to effect
no change in prices of foodstutfs etc.
before midnight tonight in order to afford
the laboring population an opportunity
Of securing the benefit of normal prices
until next week when steps will be taken
to meet the situation as far increase of
wages is concerned.

ARMENIANS' SLAYER CAUGHT
Ishn,ael Hakl Bey Is Detected by Refu-'
gees He Had Abused-Saved by
British Troops.

New York, May 5.-The American
committee for Armenian and Syrian re-
lief has received an account of an eye
witness of the arrest of Ishmael Haki
Bey, director Of deported Armenian
refugees at Aleppo under the Young
Turk government and said to be re-
sponsible for the death of thousands
of Christians. After having escaped
detection for months, he was recog-
nized at Affon-Kara-H issar by some of
the Armenians he had prosecuted as
they were returning from the Arabian
desert. TO which he had deported them.
"By coincidence he sauntered past
the station just after trainload of
Armenian refugees from Aleppo had
pulled in," said the eyewitness MARIA
tive. "He was recognized at once, and
with a yell hundred or more started
after him. They caught him before
he had gone far, and from their fury
/ thought they would tear him to
pieces.
almost Immediately, however, a
squad of British soldiers dived into
the wild melee and brought out the
late protector disheveled, white and
trembling, and marched him off to
prison amid the bowls of the refugees"
