THERE WAS NO STRIKE
Nt Cobicnz the Huns Scramble Back
on Their Jobs in Hurry.

CobIenz March 3I.-The general
strike that had been set for Wednesday
among the German workmen in var
ious trades in the American aTea of oc-
cupation failed to materialize and up
to "a late hour tonight no trouble had
been reported from any place in the
area. When the American intelligence
Office heard of the threatened strike
by tailors. the Americans let it be
known among the Germans in the oc-
cupied zone that there were no places
for unemployed men and that after
April l all men not willing to work
would be sent to unoccupied Germany.
The result was scramble among the
tailors to get back TO their jobs with
an increase in pay which was not so
much as they had sought.

DR.. Crumbine Warns of Wave
of Disease in Kansas.
Already Many Towns Are Suf-
fering for Doctors.
SWEEPS OVER EUROPE NOW
Kansas Unprepared Because of
Niggardly State Senate.
Topeka Situation Serious. DIR.
Crumbine Declares.

Another influenza epidemic in Kan
sas as serious, or more so. than the
one which has just swept the country,
is unavoidable. according to DR.. S. J.
Crumbine, secretary of the state board
of health. Crumbine today pointed
out the local epidemics which are
growing numerous again in this state
and called attention to the serious
wave of influenza and pneumonia
which is sweeping from Italy over as
far as England, apparently headed for
the United States. The next epidemic.
according to the Crumbine warning.
may strike this country in a short
time or next fall.
The saddest thing about this condi-
ton of affairs said the health secre-
tary today, lis that the legislature re-
fused to appropriate funds with which
we may fight-aS a State-the spread
of the disease. From the session just
adjourned we asked SIS, 900 for expen-
diture on serums for pneumonia and
SIS. 900 for the creation of a mobile
medical and nursing staff The house
passed the measure, but the senate
ways and means committee killed it.
A telegram received by Doctor
Crumbine this morning told of serious
conditions at Syracuse, where 10
cases, with three deaths in the last
twenty-four hours, are reported. An
kepidemic is also serious at Cimarron
while Pratt has been in the thrOeS of
the influenza for the last week or SO.
Town Asks for State Help.
Syracuse asks for state help-doc-
tors and nurses-but we have none
and no money with which to obtain
them" said Crumbine. THE legisla-
ture spent a lot of money for the
health of livestock but the 5000
deaths from influenza in the last year
| in Kansas evidently failed to impress
the senate ways and means commit
tee They killed our appropriations
with their eyes open.
Another epidemic of the influenza
! is inevitable" said Doctor Crumbine.
| In the history of all pandemics-
world epidemicS-a second has always
followed the first. The second epi-
demic of influenza, according to press
/ dispatches, is now sweeping across
Europe.
] Senators to Blame.
y ~And really the situation right here
in Topeka has never passed a serious
stage. There have been from twenty
to thirty cases a day, and right now
the schools are badly handicapped be-
cause SO many teachers are sick with
| the disease. Topeka is sitting on a
bombsheh that may explode any min
ute"

| sponsibility for failure of the influenza

| bine are: Senators Wilson, Snyder
