among the Americans there reached 7,512. In that period deaths from pneumonia, developed in most cases from influenza, numbered 1,717. Of 6,000 troops brought on one trip by the steamer Olympic, 2,000 contracted the disease and, as about , one-third of these cases developed pneumonia, the proportion of fatali- ties was very large.
 These figures are contained in an elaborate report being prepared by the American Red Cross cover ing the work of the organization ln Great Britain up to the beginning of this year.
 When the Olympic docked at Southampton there were about 400 influenza cases on board. But be- fore the troops could be debarked the number of cases had increased five fold. The weather was at its worst, cold. wet and misty.
 When the Olympic drew into port" says the report, ''and the news of the outbreak of influenza was received, the medical authori- ties hesitated to disembark all these troops. who were fresh from train ing camps in the mild climate of the Southern states. For the only place to take them was the South ampton Rest Camp. which was situated or low wet ground, and was without adequate facilities for talk ing care of sick men or men who had been exposed to an epidemic. Most of the housing in the camp was in tents without cots, and the men had to sleep on floors which consisted merely of one layer of thin boards a few inches off the ground"
 For few days the doctors tried to fight the epidemic on shipboard, but ii became so fiercely virulent that it finally became necessary to disemhark the men and take them to the rest. camp.
 The medical authorities in the hospitals around Southampton" the report says, were well equipped 10 deal with any ordinary outbreak Of disease, but this emergency tax ed to the breaking point all their accommodations and preparations. Supplies, not only drugs and equip ment, but also of doctors and nurses were rapidly exhausted"
 Here, the report points out, was a signal opportunity for the Red Cross, and t lent valuable aid in securing instant delivery of needed supplies and clothing and in pro- viding accommodations for many of the patients.
 From 76 cases of influenza a. mong American soldiers in Greac Britain during the week ending September 9. the number jumped to 2330 on September 30 That was the highwater mark and from then on there was a sharp and steady decline, the number dwind- ling to eight cases by December B. LONDON-"Women are to be admitted to the councils of the church, but not to the Great Assem- bly of the Church of England" 7" said the dean of Westminster in pre- senting the Grand Committees re- port to the archbishop of Canter- bury.

possibilities. There was Captain

had no liking for politics, and Wis

approached first, with an offer Of
the support Of the constituency.
He declined, and there was scarcely
need to ask Lady Astor. who &C
cepted.
Viscount Astor seriously disap-

exerted every influence to have his
brother contest the vacancy. He
used domestic persuasion. But it
was no use. Lady Aston had made
up her mind she was going into

Prophecy of 1910
May Come True

The Aston influence III Plymouth
has been manifest since the DAYS
when Waldorf Astor first wooed the
constituency. At the first election
in 1910, when, in a Parliamentary
contest with Sir H. Mortimer Du-
rand (the distinguished British Am
bassador at Washington from 1903
to 1900, Major Astor was narrowly
defeated, Mrs. Aston blandly de-
clared that, although disappointed,
she was not discouraged, and that
she would live to win Plymouth her
self!
Plymouth has a population Of
quarter of million, and none of
them will ever forget the vigorous
election methods of Nancy" Aston,
who took the stump for her hus-
band, proved an incalculable source
Of strength and was the chief factor
in his election, even in days when
women did not possess the vote.
An old Plymouth politician spoke
thus when | asked him f his rec
elections of Lady Astor in those
days:
GAS q canvasser she WAS ideal
persuasive, patient, persevering and
willing. Rebuffs? She had many.
but she smiled through them all,
working with heart and soul for the
cause in manner that inspired en-
thusiasm in the hearts of all Of us
who were associated with the party
She had joyous spirit Of abandon
in those days which fancy she may
have lost now that she has become
