The British plan for the league of

not technically before the peace con-

progress is being made in the SUI

pectation that a definite and some

evolved. This program, it is be-
lieved, will present the common
thought of the leaders Of the United

and, therefore, may furnish a. start

American Bluejackets
Thrive on Spanish Flu"
Germs; Doctors Baffled
One Hundred Boys from Navy Face Possible Death il
Effort to Check Spread of Disease; InocuIated
With Germs, But Not a Single
Man Takes Disease
By Universal Service.

Washington, Jan. 20.-Distin-
guished service medals may never
adorn their blouses, but American
bluejackets recently faced possible
death as unfinchingly as any Of the
destroyer heroes who battled u
boats. These men comprise the
"flu" squad OF the navy. Under
the supervision Of naval surgeons
they have time and again exposed
themselves to the deadly germs.
They have inhaled "flu" microbes.
They have had the little FLU bugs
injected into their veins. They have
taken in the cause of the "flu" cpl
demic in every known form.
Navy physicians 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 died these
100 sailors volunteered for the
duty.
Science Baffled.
But to the astonishment Of the
physicians of the navy and of the
public health services, not a man
so exposed or inoculated developed
any symptoms of the "iiu" Medical
science is baffled. Every man should
have been in bed seriously i'll If
medical science knew anything of
the nature Of the deadly epidemic.
But not a man developed even a
fever or cold.

the public health service record of

SOCIALISTS IN
LEAD IN FIRST
HUN ELECTION

majority socialists, 47O,316 votes
and seven seats; German democrats,
$4,000 votes and four seats; CEN
trists, 303,0sO votes and four seats.
Twenty-four of the 83l election
districts in Greater Berlin give the
following totals:
German democratic party, 1875;
majority socialists, 8l95; indepen-
dent socialists, 3,005; German ma
tional party, 4,706; German peoples
party, 1000; Christian (centrist)
party, 1884. The strength shown
by the democratic party is surpris-
ing to the politicians in view of the
fact that Berlin always has been
overwhelmingly socialist.
Regular Election.
The streets of Berlin were vir-
tually buried under a deluge of
election dodgers, handbiIls and leaf
let's, while the fronts of houses and
available windows were plastered
with huge posters hung up by cam
paign workers during the morning,
frequently without the knowledge
of house or store proprietors.
The spectacle was one wholly new
to Berlin, where the bill board priv
ileges are strictly confined to the ia
miliar columns on the street cor
ners, while the distributions of hand
bills is ordinarily severely restrict
ed by police regulations.
Yesterday, however, the house and
shop fronts on Inter Den Linden
from the Pariserplatz to the opera
house were one continuous bill board
appeal to the voters. The majority
socialists alone are reported to have
distributed 100000 dodgers, in adj
dition to wall papering the city with
myriads Of posters.
Government Helps Socialists.
The entire apparatus Of the gov
eminent was set in motion for the
majority socialist campaign. The in
dependent socialists confined their
attempts at vote-getting to public
meetings. The German democratic
party carried on an. active house to
house canvass. The conservatives,
clericals and national liberals proved
themselves. comparative tyros in
campaigning methods, relying chief
ly on the party newspaper organs.
For the purpose of protecting the
polling places a machine gun squad
was in position within hundred
feet of each voting place, while
strong military police patrols also
were on guard. The voters every
where turned out early and the rush
to the polls resulted in the forma-
ton of long lines Of men and women
awaiting their turn to vote.

TELLS SENATE
ABOUT YARDS
0mahan Declares KendriCk
Bill Would Give Single
Packer Power to
Close Market.
BON q SIZE correspondent.

Washington. Jan. 20.-(Special
Telegram. y Everett Buckingham.
president Of the Omaha Stock Yards
company was a witness today before
the senate committee on agriculture
which is holding hearings on Sena-
tor Hendricks bill TO stimulate the
production, sale and distribution OF
live stock and live stock products
and for other purposes. Mr.. Buck
iugham read the title of the bill and
said on the outside it suggested
stimulating" but on the inside "the
other purpose mentioned" suggested
conhscation, which created a laugh
and happily paved the way for
goodnatured hearing all around,
Mr. Buckingham showed to the
committee in detail the workings Of
the stock yards company and endea-
vored to make clear that it was de-
signed simply to furnish facilities
and service.
Gives One Man Power.
It's the bridge between where
transportation ceases and where the
packing companies, or buyers re-
sponsibility begins" Mr.. Bucking-
ham said.
He brought out one point in the
Kendrick bill that thus far SEEM
ingly has been overlooked.
Under one of the bills provisions,
it would be in the power of one
man, were he connected with a
packing company by retaining more
than 10 per cent of the stock of a
stock yards company, automatically
10 close up the market. The rail-
roads in consequence would not be
permitted to deliver stock and 1t
would therefore be in one mans
power to close up the Chicago live
stock market.
Let Conditions Remain.
Mr.. Buckingham suggested thar
the committee would better let con-
ditions remain as they are and
thought the changes suggested were
impracticable.
In reply to a question, Mr.. Buck
ingham said he did not believe the
government could operate a stock
yards company as successfully and
give the same service as given now
under private operation and as for
the railroads operating the stock
yards, he thought the railroads had
about all they wanted to do to look
after the transportation of the coun-
try and were not interested particu-
Iarly in taking over public markets. z
