aside from this, it is obvious--in

winter. And as yet no analysis has
demonstrated either cause or cure
for the scourge.
No one, says Henry Smith Will
Jams, I'D, LID, needs to be re-
minded that the influenza epidemic
OF last winter was very dreadful
visitation. 1t swept across the coun-
try IN successive waves, and, ac-
cording to the best estimates avail
able, caused something like four hum
dred and fifty thousand deaths, or
more than four for every thousand
of the population.
A very important and timely ar
tlcle by this scientist appears in the
October issue of physical Culture"
In it he goes on to say:
Every one knows that the great
danger in influenza is the develop
ment of pneumonia. 1t is reported
that the ratio of pneumonia cases
to the total population varied from
5.3 cases per thousand in Spartan
burg to 24.6 per thousand in the
smaller towns of Maryland. There
was, however, no close. correspond
ence between the pneumonia rate
and the influenza attack rates. AS
10 the mortality, there was also
great variation, deaths amounting
20 only 1.9 per thousand in Spar
tanburg and rising to 6.S in Mary
land towns. The deaths were closely
correlated with the pneumonia rate.
In general, about 80 per cent of the
patients that developed pneumonia
failed - recover; although in San
Antonio, where influenza was most
prevalent, the pneumonia death rate
was only 1875 per cent. The death
rate was notably high III children

last winter was such as to make it
more than doubtful whether the
Pfeiffer bacillus is the cause of in
fiuenza.
'This bacillus was, indeed, pres
ent, particularly at the early stage
of the epidemic; but subsequently
1t was much less in evidence, and
the attention of the pathologists
centered on several other groups of
mlcro-organisms, including the four
types of pneumococci pneumonia
germs) and various streptococci
and staphylococci of i'll repute.
'The germ that thus breaks down
the bodily defences, producing the
symptoms Of the initial influenza,
Is for the moment effectively hidden
from the searching eye of the micro
scope, as the cannon that tore down
the barbed wire entanglements and
weakened the morale of the enemy
were hidden from the searching
fieldglasses Of the air scouts. E.
1T becomes very practical
question as to what the average indi-
vidual can do to guard against the
probability of being attacked by the
malady. Science, it appears, cannot
as vet tell us just what the influenza
germ is, nor precisely how it is
transmitted. Can it tell US any
thing definite as to methods of de-
veloping individual immunity?
This is the age of preventive
medicine. Every one knows, at least
IN general terms, the story of the
virtual conquest of typhoid fever
that was effected through applica-
ton Of SIR Almroth Wright's vac
cine method of prevention. This
consists Of inoculating the subject
with a culture containing dead
typhoid bacilli. These germs con-
vey the typhoid toxin in limited
quantity, and they stimulate the
organism to produce the so-called
anti-bod:es thatgive defense against
this particular invasion. Presently
the body is charged with typhoid
antidotes in such quantity that
should living typhoid germs be ulti-
mately ingested they are promptly
destroyed, instead Of developing
and producing the disease Of typhoid
fever, as they otherwise would do.
''lt is well known that this prin-
ciple Of preventive incubation with
disease germs has been applied to
various other ma,adies, though no.
where else with results quite so
spectacular as in typhoid. Naturally
an attempt was made to produce a
vaccine that would give immunity
against influenza. In point of fact,
many such vaccines were developed |!
At the outset, when it was supposed
that the influenza bacillus caused
the malady, this germ was utilized
Subsequently, it being fairly demon
strated that the presence of this
germ is only incidental, the micro
organisms already referred to as

ARMY CUT TO 10000
Reperation Conditions imposed Similar
to Those Given Germany-Fifteen
Days Allowed for Observations
Seized Property to Be Restored.

Paris, July 21-The full peace con-
ditions of the Allied and Associated
powers are now in the hands of the
Austrians. The first section of the
terms were presented to the Austrians
delegates at ST. German on June 2.
The final sections were delivered to
them at the same place without cere-
mony by NJ. Dutasta, secretary gen.
eral of the Peace conference.
The terms comprise the whole treaty
which Austria is asked to sign, includ-
ing the reparatiOn, financial, military
and certain other minor clauses, Which
were not ready for presentation when
the official ceremony took place.
In an accompanying memorandum
the Austrians are granted Is days in
which to make final observations, al
though they have already submitted
large number of notes on the terms
previously submitted to them.
In addition to the published sum-
mary of the terms of June 2, the new
clauses provide for reparation arrange
ments very similar to those In the
treaty with Germany, including the
establishment of an Austrian sub-sec-
ton of the reparations commission,
the payment of a reasonable sum in
cash, the issuing of bonds, and the de-
livery of livestock and certain histori-
Cal and art documents
The financial terms provide the Aus
trian pre-war debt shall be appor-
toned among various former parts of
Austria and that the Austrian coin
age and war bonds circulating in the
separate territory shall be taken up
by the new governments and re-
deemed as they see fit.
Under the military terms the Aus
trian army is henceforth reduced to
10000 men on a purely voluntary
basis.
Within three months the ornaments
of the Austrian army must be reduced
according to detailed schedules, and
all surplus surrendered. The manu-
facture of all material shall be con-
fined to one single factory under the
control Of the state and other such
establishments shall be closed down or
converted. Importation and exporta-
ton of arms, munitions and war ma
terials of all kinds Is forbidden
