INDIAN TRIBES HIT BY "FLU"
Many Found Dead in Remote Places,
Far From Medical
Aid.

Salt Lake City.--Certain tribes of
Indians on reservations in Utah have
been almost decinlated by the intlu-
enza epidemic, according to uncon-
firmed reports reaching the state board
of health here.
Adviccs from San Juan county, in
the southern part of the state, say
that fully 1900 persisted when the cpl
demic swept the Navajo reservation.
Bodies are being found In many out
of the way places, it is reported, where
Indians, men, women and children,
died alone and far from medical as,
sistance.
A canvass is being made in this
section, and it is feared that one or
two small tribes may have been wiped
out entirely. Realizing the epidemic
character of the disease the Indians
wandered away from their tribesmen,
1t is said, and strict account of deaths
b vi..Hally impossible.

TO DEMOLISH PARIS FORTS
City Alderman Wants the Wails
Pierced TO Make Suburban
Travel Easier.

Paris.-The question Of the demoli-
ton of the ring Of Anticipated fortih'
cations which surrounds Paris will be
brought up before the municipal coun-
ell during the course Of the next few
months.
This Is not as a result Of the armi'
stice or because of the League Of ma
tons, which is expected to put an
end to wars forever, or because of the
fact that with modern artillery the
Notifications would be useless. the
matter has already been brought up
before the council. 1t dates back
to 1884. The plan, however, would
have to be referred to parliament by
the municipal council after its adop
ton.
Louis Dausset, an alderman Of the
city of Paris, Is sponsor for the prof.
ect. He argues that the benefits to be
derived are a closer, easier contact
with the Paris suburbs, elinination OF
the necessity of entering or leaving
Paris through the various gates, ana
the freeing Of valuable land for build
Int purposes.

Tommies welcomed his nuieship when
he took his place in the firing line, but
they haven't any use for him now that
