PesrILeNce CAUSED By WAR
Generally Understood That the influ.
snxa Epidemic Was q Direct
Result Of Great Conflict:

Sufficient time mas not yet elapsed
to determine the indirect effects Of the
recent eruption Of Mount Kloet In Java
which wipe,f out over a score Of VII
lagos and killed thousands Of the na-
tives, but rccOllections Of KrakatOa's
volcanic outburst In 1883 which within
six weeks sprinkle,l its fine lava dust
over the whole world, has given an In
teresting suggestion to certain MEM
hers Of the medical profession. During
the closing year Of the war an tnhu-
enza epidemic ragged in many parts OF
the world. The manner Of It's out
break in different countries indicated
that the germs Of the disease had been
conveyed by the currents In the air.
The theory. therefore. has been
brOached that the poison gases with
which many sectors Of the fighting
u. area were ,.renched were carried BY
the wind in every direction, causing
the influenza outbreak In Spain. Ger
mnny, England. France. South Amer
len. Australia, Africa. Asia, as well as
In the United States and some Of the
Central American countries. That the
Influenza is a corollnry Of the war 10
undoubted. Any similar gigantic con
fifct. Is argued. would be attended with
similar widespread pestilence-an-
other reason why every effort should
