"Flu" Expected Back.

Voluminous instructions for the
guidance of health officers in all Sec
tions of the United States have been
issued by the United States Health
Service, which is Of the opinion that
there will be a return visit of the
influenza in epidemic form this year
Copies of the instructions were re-
ceived in Baltimore from Surgeon Gen.
eral Rupert Blue. In part, the state
ment reads:
/ City officials, state and city boards
of health should be prepared in the
event of a recurrence. 1t is not yet
certain that the germ has been iso-
lated or discovered, and as conse-
Guence there is yet no positive pre-
ventive, except the enforcement of
rigid rules of sanitation and the avoid
ance of personal contact.
Influenza is spread by direct and
indirect contact.
Evidence collected during the last
winters epidemic points strongly to
infected eating and drinking utensils.
especially in places where food and
drink are sold to the public, as being
one of the modes of transmission of
this disease. In some municipalities
this matter has already been made
the subject of regulation, but the en-
forcement of the regulations often
leaves much to be desired"
One of the most urgent steps sug-
gested by the local officials is the
cleaning UP of the streets and alleys
in Baltimore. In the opinion of DR..
Warren H. Hoax, influenza could be
spread easily at present, as many of
the streets and alleys are dusty and
dirty. On some OF the waterfront
streets there is constant dusty at
mosphere, where horses and wagons
churn up dirt that apparently has not
been swept away for weeks.

Troops and Police Search for

Cities All Over Ireland.
TWO M. P.'s ARE ARRESTED.
Other Sim Feiners Seized and Taken
Into Dublin in Military Lorries.
Crimes Act Put Into Force
Against RevoIutionists.

Dublin.-In the raids carried out
against the Sim Fem organizations
throughout Ireland some arms and ex-
ploSives were found. Large quantities
of documents and Sim Fen literature
were seized, notably in Dublin, where
every copy of the report of Frank +.
Walsh and Edward +. Dunno, who in
yestigated conditions in Ireland on be-
half of American Irish societies, and
correspondence relating to arranging
trade relations between Ireland and
the United States and other foreign
countries, fell into the hands of the
authorities. The belief was expressed
in Sim Fein quarters here that moth
ing of an discriminating nature was
found.
The Gazette prints the proclamation,
signed by Viscount French, the lord
lieutenant of Ireland, prohibiting and
suppressing the Sim Fein parliament
known as the Dali Eireann. 1t refers
to the proclamation of July suppress
ing the Sim Fein organizations as un-
lawful associations 1t describes the
Dali Eireann as a dangerous associa-
ton and says that since July it has
been employed for all the purposes of
the then suppressed organizations.
The proclamation applies to the 81
counties and six county boroughs of
Ireland.
The Dali Eireann is placed under the
crimes act, and it's meetings are pro-
hibited ANY member of parliament
belonging to the Sim Fein who dis
obeys the proclamation of the lord
lieutenant will be liable to prosecu-
ton under this act.
The proclamation indicates an inten-
ton on the part of the government to
return to Jail most of the men impris-
oned i'll May, 1918, under suspicion of
connection with German plots, who
were released by Viscount French aft
er the signing of the armistice.
The view held here is that the Brit
iSh government now intends to treat
the entire Irish republican movement
as seditious, as being aimed at the
overthrow of the kings authority and
illegal under the treason and felony
act
Irish Constitutionalists expressed the
belief that the ,represSive action of the
government will strengthen the Sim
Fein. Prominent Sim Feiners assert
ed that it was their intention to main
tain their policy of republicanism.

Why Cannot Mt. Vernon Be FREE

that Mt Vernon should be open the public all the

In discussing this matter, find many people feel the
demand that Mt Vernon be made a PUBLIC park is O

from decay and saved from ruin and thus preserved

have done this but Congress failed For half century
