Much is said Of the iron silence
of military member devotion 20
the principle of secrecy. ! have not
encountered much of that among the
high officials of our army. There is,
for instance. no more ardent sup
porter of open dealing with the
people through the press than Gen.
eral Peyton c. Marsh. chief of staff.
He has often said, i believe wholly
In the right Of the people. whose
army it is, to know about their army.
For many years General March held
10 the belief that the general attitude
OF military men toward censorship
was erroneous and when he came into
position TO practically apply the prin-
ciple of candor he did so, with whole
some result. At stated intervals he
met the newspaper men, talked freely
to them, answered their questions
and acted in every way to keep the
lines open to the people. Young off,
GERS who through zeal attempted
either to apply the press gag or to
exploit the press for the dtspropor-
aggrandizement of their army
branches. were easily dissuaded from
that course through war department
orders.
"As a newspaper man who his

pride that the highest ethics Of jour
nalism were met and conserved by
the war department and the army"

The belief exists that a fish can
not live out of water, but there are
known to be several species which
can travel overland for miles. For
instance, certain fish of the South
American tropics leave the small
ponds they have lived in to seek
larger and cooler stretches of water
farther afield when the sun threatens
TO dry UP their late habitations
They spend whole days and nights
upon their march, and travel by hun
dreds through the moist underground
OF the forests.

NUMBER OF INFLUENZA
CASES SHOWS INCREASE
Disease Seems Very Hard to Control
Want of Care Upon The Part OF
The Public Largely Responsible.

! From the number of new cases OF
| influenza reported to DR.. E. f. Wolff
| local health officer it will be seen
that the disease instead of being on
the decrease, rs had been hoped by
everyone, has taken a new jump,
there being forty-one new cases re-
ported from Saturday noon until
noon today. or an average-Gf Slightly
two days. AS was stated IN this pa
per recently, the rate in Cambridge
is exceedingly high If borne out in
proportion to the population OF Bal
tinore, which is now about seventy
five times as great as that OF Cam
bridge. the new cases in Baltimore
would be over l 500 daily, whereas
$50 cases per day is considered in
that city cause for great alarm; in
other words, if the number OF new
cases in Baltimore is at the rate OF
one-siXth the rate of those i'll Cam
bridge, the authorities and the pub
lie generally are very much worried.
So far as can be learned, there
seems to be one way to escape the
disease, and that is to keep away
from it, or if one cannot keep away
from it, to protect the mouth and
nose with the influenza masks while
in contact with it. 1t is just as i'm
portant to protect the mouth as the
nose, for the physicians are agreed
that the germs of the disease find
Judgement in either the nose or
mouth.
While warm days like yesterday
are delightful, people should not ga
Their in crowds; one case, at the stage
when the disease may be spread,may
have the effect of inoculating any
of persons with it. Breathe
plenty of fresh air, keep in the best
possible physical condition, if COM
PEELED to go into the room where
there are influenza patients, fill the
lungs with pure, fresh air as soon as
the room is left, hut above all things,
keep away from crowds; let no one
blow their breath into your face if it
can possibly be helped. Following
these rules may not keep one from
having the influenza, but they GER
tainly will lessen the danger of get
ting it.

ADDRESSES THE ELKS
Pastor of Catholic Church Delivers
Strong Address on The Evils OF
Socialism - Misses Seward And
Richardson RENDER Fine Music.

The meeting at the Elks Home
yesterday afternoon was attended by
nearly a half a hundred men, who
heartily enjoyed the exercises. After
the meeting Was called to order, Miss
Mary Blanche Seward delighted the
audience with a beautiful solo, then
followed the address by Father
Walsh, after which Miss Seward ia,
vored the audience with anotti.s %
lection. Miss Seward was accompa-
MED on the piano by Miss Maude
Richardson.
The address by Father Walsh was
very strong enc, being an indict-
ment of Socialism, which the speaker
regards as one of the most serious
evils confronting the American ma
ton at. this time. The address was,
in part, as follows:
To us Americans, American de-
mocracy is dear and precious. 1t is
our pride. our idol. 1t is the guar
dian of our liberties; the firm sup
port of our hopes and our ambitions.
To it, in a large share. we attribute
\ the marvellous prosperity with which
our country has been blest, the I'M
paralleled social felicity and national
grandeur Of which we have been the
bounteous heirs as citizens of this
great Republic of America. To Ameri-
can democracy we are pledged in
plentitude of thought, in plentitude
of love, unto sacrifice most heroic.
In our ardent devotion to American
Democracy lies our confidence that it
is born to endure down the ages,
whatever the circumstances unto
which its destinies lead, whatever the
perils bestriding the pathway OF its
onward course. l have the utmost
confidence in American democracy.
IBut my confidence, however well JUS
tilted, in the abiding ability of Ameri
can democracy to pass safely through
every storm, to bid defiance to every
peril, must not be misguided. MY
friends, l have in mind one Of the
greatest dangers confronting at the
present time American democracy.
| This great economic peril is well
within our doors. an dcare is needed
that it does not penetrate further in
| to the interior of the household. l

Socialism. Whenever it is ques-
ton of catering to voters the claim is
brought forth that Socialism is moth

more parties for its own welfare. 1t

or a republic like ours; or whether
the parties be called Conservative or

The friends of Mr. T. J. Galloway
will be glad to learn of the improve
ment in tn condition of the hand
which has been troubling him. 1t is
reported that the injuries to the hand
were sustained in an encounter with
a chicken. 1t seems that a chicken
which he was about to slaughter,
chung tenaciously to life and resisted
the efforts of the eXecutioner with all
its might, and, finally, in it's attempt
to secure freedom, jumped into a
rose bush. Mr.. Galloway, apparent
ly, forgot all about the thorns on the
rose bush, and attempted to sweep
aside the branches with his bare
hand, with the result that one of the
thorns lodged III one of the fingers,
causing a gathering. After being
lanced once or twice, the finger is
now well on the road to complete re-
covery.
