THE CIRCUS
ARTILLERY

Carl Snringmeyer, member OF the
65th Regiment, Battery B.. which
took part in some of the heaviest
/ FIGHTING ON the western front, arrived
al Camp Dix, New Jersey, having re-
turned to the United States with his
regiment. He will shortly proceed to
San Diego to be mustered out, accord
ing to q telegram received by his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. F. C. SPRING
meyer this week
During the last days of fighting, his
regiment covered itself with glory for
its gallsnt work, and during an en-
gagement, young sprlngmeyer was
badly gassed. The following is taken
from a i.ess oispateh> concerning the
e5th regiment:
Philadelphia today (Jan. 800 extend
ed hearty welcome to 2,197 men of
the American Expeditionary Force,
first of the overseas contingent to ar
rive at this port. They came on the
! liner Haverford, which sailed from
Brest, France, January 18th and go
to Camp Dix, New Jersey today. The
returning soldiers were members of
the Sixty-fifsh Regiment c. A. C. Or
ganized on the Pacific Coast. mainly
of men from Washington, Oregon,
California and Nevada. Colonel Ker-
fort of Kansas is in command.
The regiment claims the honor of
Icing the only organization of Amer
ican troops to fire the British 90
howitzer in a. On aud is SAID to have
handed the heaviest mobile armament
outside of the railroad mount guns
rsd by the American first army.
/ The regiment fired 100000 tons of
steel and explosives at five different
points in the German line of defense,
all within a period of seventy days
j and nights, This regiment made a
graf record. In army parlanee the
artillers units were termed "circus
artillers" because of their many moves.
In the case of the 65th the enormous
amount of equipment carried on each
change of position made the title es-
pecially applicable. The 65th moved
in each change the following equip
ment:
Twenty-four British howitzers.

REVIEWS FLU
EPIDEMIC

In report of the State Board OF
Health just issued it Is stated that il

appearance of the first case of Infu-
enza In Nevada, but the first one
diagnosed and reported as such de

October. the next at Las Vegas on
the 9Th, in Elko on the 10th and in
Carson City on the 18TH. After the
last date it spread rapidly throughout
the state until there was scarcely a
village or hamlet that did not pay toll
to it IN human life.
IL is impossible 20 give even an ap-
proximate number of peraoas afflicted
With it, as it is not included in our re-
ported disease, but it is quite safe to
say that there were four to five thous-
and.
In uncomplicated cases the fatalities
were few but II those where pneu-
monia was contributory. the death
rate was very high
From several sections of the State
appeals came TO the State Board Of
Health for help to care for the sick
as there was an insufficiency of both
physicians and nurses to do the work
deyolving upon the few they had
Among the localities most seriously
afflicted and in greatest need were
hcDermitt, and Loyeloek, Battle
Mountain, Virginia City and Elko.
This epidemic Of influenza resisted
all medication to greater degree than
is usually met with in acute diseases
Of the respiratory organs, and the pro-
fession was "up in the air" as to both
the gensis and treatment OF the
scourge. When it first appeared It
vas quite generally conceded to be
caused by the bacillus of Pfeiffer, but
that opinion seemed to explode before
the end Of the epidemic.
The experience of the tens of thous-
ands of physicians who have been
Vaking war against the disease has
failed to discover a single reliable
1rohylactie. Several serums have
ibeen advocated and used by the pro
fession in this State. but the results
lave not been such as to warrant
any special recommendation for their
Use. although one quite prominent
physician claims to have had the most
gratifying success with horse serum. I"
The quarantine and mask questions
have both been tried; neither one has
proved successful. In one of the
counties a rigid quarantine was es-
iablishef before a single case had de-
geloped, and Immediately after the ap-
rcarance OF the first case mask ordi-
nance was passed and rigidly enforced.
set that county reported a greater
rumber, proportionately, of cases and
a larger death rate than any other
county in the state.
No matter what The cause of the di-
sease or the course of treatment pur-
sued, there can be no question OF
doubt that fear" so reduced the
powers of resistance that many be-
came easy victims. and fear" should
have been entered in the death certi-
fcate as the remote cause of death
