NFLuENzA,s TOLL IN MEXICO.

New Mexico, Feb. 2.-Four hum
dred thirty-six thousand, two hund
dred deaths were caused in Mexico du
ring 1918 by the influenza, according
to data publihhed by Ell Universal.
This figure is believed to be conserVa
tive, according to the paper, as sever
al States were unable to furnish fl
snres on the mortality. In others, it
is added, the epidemic still prevails
In Morelos, in particular, few families
escaped illness. In fact, the influ-
yenza is credited with having DESTROYED
the power of Emiliano zapata, Ions
the rebel ruler of that state.

Always at all camps
His pleasant face you could see.
Z. he took great interest in camp work
8 Never was known to be still.
Doing things for his country.
Kind deeds were always his will
-
But one day he was missing
: In the house he was not to be seen
\ Our brother Oh how we missed him
In the forest of foliage green.
Bat Lee had become a soldier.
For his country he had answered
the call
Somewhere in France would be
fighting for you for me and for all.
Is - xsxs1eHSEV
8 weeks passed not a word not a let
ter.
We knew that something was wrong
But our thoughts were always with
him.
From dark till sun rise in the morn
But one day as we were starting
Our dutch in our home to perform
Brought the last sad message of
brother
Like lightning in the gale of q. storm
And oh what a sad sad message
Those words brought us all.
For Lee had went to France and
Had answered his final call.
And Lee now lies sleeping In his
grave
over the hills
With many other brave he is resting
With all obligations fulfilled.
And now in the hands of his parents
Ten thousand dollars in all.
They have so sadly received
From their SON =.
Who answered his cali
With it we extend our blessings
TO his parents feeble and gray
Thus goes the story of brother
As he pahses on is way.
g Rest rest in peaceful rest
Our brother true and brave
With only a little monument
To mark the honored grave.
Not only do we miss him
He did all a soldier could do.
We gave our soldier brother
For the cdr the white and the blue
And too be was a member of the
Fire departm ent in Columbia and
on what a good record he left there
with his many friends who also miss
him.

Mccormack Recital.

A capacity audience greeted John
Mccormack. the popular tenor. at
Polls Theater yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Mccormack was in excellent
voice. and this. with his perfect enun-
citation. made his work unusually at
tractive. OF course. his main appeal
is in the ballad. and this type was
represented by Is Csravane," hv
Chausson: Loves Secret" by Ban
took; The Sensitive Plant" by Mar
shall; ~ Birthday by Whiting and
his many encores: including Dear !,
Mother Machre" and "Mavis." Sew
eral Irish folk songs were atso s-,.s
IN McCormack's inimitable way
Mr.. Mccormack, however, demon
strated his ability to handle the clas-
sizes and refreshing part of the pro-
gram was his singing of the aria IT
Mic Tesoro," from Mozart's Don Gil
ovanni," and only You." by Edwin
Schneider; Thank God for a Garden
by Teresa del Riego. and "Ah, Moon
of My Delight" from Liza Lehman
I'm a Persian Garden" In these Sc
lections he made use of some full
high chest tones which were an &C.
ceptable departure from his usual
style.
The recital served also to intro
duce Mr.. Winston Wilkerson. a young
violinist whose playing was pleas
| ing. He appeared twice on the
program and gave one encore in ad
dition.
Mr.. Edwin Schneider, as usual. was
at the piano. and his work was in
perfect accord with the soloists.
Rosen-Conde Tonight.
The program for the joint recital to
be given in the Masonic Auditorium
by Maria Condo and Max Rosen at
$40 tonight is as follows:

She sings in clear, flexible and well

a broad, clear and promising voice,

former years as tenor of the society.
Mr.. McInnes is an English singer of
