March of History Causes Gotha

Some Strange Entries in Latest Edt-
ton as Result of the War-Can't
Keep Up With Affairs in Fin
land, Poland and Ukraine.

Parfs.-The swift march of history
which has reduced to waste-paper
value most Of the existing works Of
reference about European state affairs
has been too rapid for the old AL
manach de Gotha. In peace times this
compendium Of statistical data con-
corning princes and potentates and
their dOminiOns went to press about
the end Of October, when it's infOrma-
ton was supposed to hold good for
another year, and 1t generally did,
barring some coup d'etat or other in
South America.
y Now, however, its issue Of 1919,
which went to the printers In Decem-
Der, is affected in several Important
respects0by sudden developments in
volving many of the former ruling
houses Of Europe.
Amusing to students of Germany's
eastern border policy is the naive pref
atory remark that ''the editors regret
that after having prepared three new
articles on Finland, Poland and the
Uk41ine, they were obliged to cancel
all three, owing to the change in the
course Of events"
Two Important Changes.
In other words, Prince Frederick
Charles of Hesse, brother-in-law Of
the former, German emperor, will
never seat himself upon the throne Of
Finland, and there is to be no Prus-
sian predominance in Poland and the
Ukraine.
The downfall Of the houses OF Ho-
",enzollern and Hapsburg has not
caused the compilers Of the almanach
much racking Of brains. The prefix
Tex" is apparently held to be sufficient
to define the present status OF William
II and Charles I, although the former
II still credited with his full So titles
and the latter is still styled, among
other things, "King of Jerusalem,
Prince OF the Trentino and Lord Of
Trieste"
Much the same treatment Is given to
the score Of German princes and
princelings who abdicated. They ap-

 Concerning the important question of immunity conferred by an attack of influenza, the evidence is not conclu- size, but there is reason to believe that an attack during the earlier stages of the epidemic confers a considera ble. but not absolute, immunity in the later outbreaks.
 Such evidence as has been gathered confirms the conclusion previously reached that it is transmitted directly and indirectly by contact. IL appears probable, however, that the infection was already widely disseminated in this country some time before a serious epidemic was recognized.
 Masks Not Complete Preventive
 Much was heard last winter of the use of face masks. Though the use oi suitably constructed masks will re- duce the interchange of respiratory germs through inhalation, it must be remembered that there are many other paths by which such germs are trans mitted from person to person. Soilet hands. common drinking cups, improp- erly cleaned eating and drinking uten- sils in restaurants, soda fountains, etc. roller towels, infected food-these art only few of the common vehicles o germ transmission. The use of fact masks appears to make people neglec

'FLU' LIKELY TO
 RETURN SAYS
 HEALTH SERVICE
ButNew Epidemic Probably
 Will Not Be Severe if the
 Proper Precautions Are Taken, It Tells the Public

Probably. but by no means cer- tainly. there will be a recurrence of the influenza epidemic this year.
 Indications are that, should it occur, 1t will not be as severe as the epidemic of the previous win ter.
 City officials, state and city boards of health should be pre- pared in the event of a recurrence.
 The fact that a previous attack brings immunity in a certain per- centage of cases, should allay fear on the part of the those afflicted in the previous epidemic.
 Influenza is spread by direct and indirect contact.
 It is not yet certain that the germ has been isolated or discov- cred, and as consequence there is yet not positive preventive, except the enforcement of rigid rules of sanitation and the avoid ance of personal contact.
 A close relation between the in nnenza pandemic and the con- stantly increasing pneumonia mor- tality rate prior to the fall of 1918 is recognized.
 It is now believed that the dis ease was pretty widely dissemi- mated throughout the country be-

enza, the beginning in this country of the pandemic which developed in the autumn of that year.
 In the British cities the epidemic manifested three distinct waves-the first and slightest in point of mortal ity occurring in June and July, the second and most severe in November the third in February and March. Data which need not be cited here in detail indicate that the course of the epidemic in western Europe generally was similar. In cities of India the sequence was similar but the mortality greater. In the United States the epi- 1 demic developed more largely in a single wave during September, October and November
 First Serious Epidemic
 The prevalence of a serious epidemic of influenza was first recognized in and around Boston in September of 1918. | Within about two weeks it was general in the Atlantic seaboard, developing a | little later among cities further west l Rural districts were usually attacked somewhat later than large cities in the
 The percentage of the population at 1 tackled varied from 15 per cent in Louisville to 533 per cent in San An tonic, Tex, the aggregate for the whole group being about 2S per cent. i It was higher with children from to IA years old, and progressively lower in each higher age group. It was slightly higher in females than in males of corresponding age; usually higher iI the white than the negro population.
 The ratio of pneumonia cases to tota, population varied from 5.3 cases per | 1000 in Spartanburg, s. C., to 24.t per 1000 in the smaller towns of Mary land. The pneumonia rate showed lit tie correlation with the influenza at tack rate
 Males More Susceptible
 The ratio of deaths to population varied from 19 per 1000 in Spartan burg to 6.S in Maryland towns. The death rate was by no means paral- led to the influenza attack rate, but was closely correlated with the pneu- monia rate. In other words, .ht fatality rate of pneumonia tended tC be fairly constant around 30 per cent The death rate was notably high il children under l year old, in adult. from 20 to 40 and in persons over 60 higher in males than in females O

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15-Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor, returning to his office at the federation headquarters, went over the situation arising from the police strike in Boston and the pro- posed nation wide steel workers strike September 22, but refused to comment on either.
 There were indications, however, that the labor chief was making every eff fort to obtain from heads of the steel workers unions consent to call off the proposed strike and to await the in- dustrial conference called for October 6 by President Wilson before takins

None of the men would indicate his sentiments regarding the settlement. At l.: 30 a. m. it was stated a decision had not been reached and discussion might be prolonged until 3 o'clock

action.
 The work of MT. Gompers was seen in the apparent inclination of the United Mine Workers officials conven- tion at Cleveland to support a move ment 10 delay the steel workers walk out. In requesting that the mine work CTS take this position, MT. Gompers for warded a letter from President John son of the International Machinists' as sociation, favoring postponement of the strike
 At federation headquarters today it was said that the steel situation was particularly delicate from a labor standpoint, in that strikes can only be called or settled by the union directly involved. Labor federation officials have no power to take any action or issue any orders, though they may give advice and assistance and this may be particularly influential. Mr. Gompers' activities are consequently only taken | in his capacity of adviser.

That a recurrence of the influenza epidemic of last year is not unlikely, the experts of the United States Pub lie Health service are agreed. In the face of known facts, the service bull letin says, it would be wise to be pre- pared, more with view of being on the safe side that actually anticipating danger.
 Contrary to the opinion expressed in the early weeks of last years epi- demic. it was not a fresh importation from abroad. Careful study of the mortality statistics of the United States shows that there were a number extensive though mild forerunners of the Spanish influenza in the previous three or four years. The epidemic was of mild type. but there was notice- able increase in deaths from pneu- monia.
 In the spring of 1918 there was an- other sharp rise in the mortality rate from pneumonia. In the larger cities of the Atlantic seaboard these in- creases occurred during January February and March. In the rest oi the country, especially the central and western states, the increases oc- cured in April, a month in which pneumonia mortality is generally or the decline.
 Related to Pneumonia. This occurrence has, it is believed, a definite significance in relation to the influenza epidemic. In the United States in the spring of 1918, number of definite local outbreaks of influ- enze were observed.
 The rise in mortality from pneu- monia, this very similar type of dis ease, in the spring of 1918 is so sud- den, so marked and so genera l throughout the United States as tC point very clearly to a definite rela- l tion. Everything indicates that the increased mortality from pneumonia in March and April of 1918 was the 1 consequence of a beginning and largely unnoticed epidemic of influ.

EIGHTEEN YEARS IN BUILDING
immense Drydock at Pearl Harbor
Finally Completed - Important
United States Naval Base.

For 70 years the United States gov.
eminent officially has recognized the
strategic position of its great Pearl
Harbor naval base, the massive dry
dock of which officially was opened by
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels in Au-
gust, writes a Honolulu correspondent
of the Portland Oregonian.
President Tyler in 1912 gave formal
notice to all European governments
that the United States never would
consent to their occupying Hawaii or
establishing in any of the Islands 9
naval or military base through pur-
chase or otherwise.
The policy was reiterated later by
Daniel Webster when he was secretary
Of state, by James G. Blaine and by
President Mckinley.
In 1886 the United States, through II
treaty with King Kalakaua, then ruler
Of the islands, gained the right to es-
tablish. what has become the Pearl
Harbor base.
Twelve years later the Unitett
States annexed the islandaL Two years
after that the annexatien surveys were
begun for the great drydock just NOW
completed.
