WATCH FOR PNEUMONIA
AFTER THE INFLl ENZi
Government Issues Warning Against
Probable Wide Increase in
Respiratory Diseases.

Washington, d. C.-With tie sunslu-
ence of the epidemic of influenza the
attention Of health officers is directed
TO pneumonia, bronchitis and other
diseases OF the respiratory system
which regularly cause Il large number
Of deaths, especially during the winter
season. According to Rupert Blue,
Surgeon General OF the United States
Public Health Service, these diseases
will be especially prevalent this win
ter unless the people are particularly
careful to obey health Instructions.

geon General Blue, has taught by Bit

Although the worst OF the epidemic Is
over. there will continue TO be a large
number Of scattered cases, many OF
them mild and unrecognized, which

the present situation to that after
great fire. saying, mo lire chief who
understands his business stops playing
the hose on the charred debris as soon
as the flames aud visible fire have dis
appeared. On the contrary, he con-
tlnues the water for hours and even
DAYS, for he knows that there Is dam

dering embers."
"Then YOU fear another outbreak "

Heroism of American soldiers is now taken as a matter of fact, but a belated story of their courage as displayed in Identification tags that are being forwarded to the American Red Cross headquarters here by German military authorities is one calculated to give their fellow countrymen brand new thrill.
 These tags were taken from bodies of American officers and soldiers killed in action are in many instances muti- lated so far as regimental data is con- cerned, the only conclusion being that the wearers were determined that the enemy should obtain no information of value from them. It takes little imagina- tion to visualize tragedy in every one of the little aluminium discs.
 Each mutilated tag tells story of lad who journeyed more than three thousand miles to fight under the stars and stripes whose last thought on go- ing into battle was not for his own safety but for that of his comrades. The enemy was not to get any comfort from anything found on him in case he was killed or captured. One can picture some of the men out in advanced machine gun posts scratching the regi- mental and company numbers from discs when death or capture seemed certain.
 In recent lot of bags that reached American Red Cross headquarters many of those bore mutilated names of sol diers who were obviously of GSrman descent. Game unto death' was the comment of any officer who watched the examination of the first batch of discs. In a number of cases it was possible to trace the regimental and company numbers as if the attempt to obliterate the Information had been made hurried ly. It is possible, in the opinion of some officials that some of the tags have been picked up loose on the battlefield and that owners may still be living.

WHAT WOULD JAY GOULD HAVE
 SAID

Another romance due to the unexpected discovery of great wealth in natural re- sources in Texas is associated with the Texas and Pacific railroad company. This was railroad promotion originally undertaken by the late Col: Thomas A. Scott who was for years prominently identified with the Pennsylvania railroad company and was one of the intellectual forces so many of which have always characterized the Pennsylvania manage ment. Colonel Scott was persuaded about the time of the resumption of specie payments that it would be worth while from many points of view to construct a railroad across the state of Texas. He made the venture He invested many millions of his own capital until at last he reached substantially the end of his resources. He knew that he was right in his purpose, but he also knew that he had failed to complete his plans.
 Jay Gould took the property off Col onel Scott's hands. presumably with in tent to make it a true transcontinental line. After a while the property passed from his control into that of receivers. It never occurred to Colonel Scott or Jay Gould that there might lie beneath the soil and along almost the entire right of way vast deposits of oil. In fact the discovery that oil in almost nconcevably
 
 surface was made recently. It is in the heart of the new and almost fabuously rich ranged district in Texas. Had Jay Gould suspected that the Texas and Pacific railroad company possessed un- derneath the right of way resources in oil which presumably will not be ex- hausted for many years he undoubtedly would not have permitted the Texas and Pacific to pass from his control.
 Inevitably legal question has arisen which is this: has the railraoad com pany the right under it's charter to drill for oil and to operate the oil industry along it's right of way. Nevertheless, the company has drilled for oil. It. has wells in operation and will continue this opera tion of the industry along the entire right of way, provided it is not inter- ferred with by the courts or provided it is not denied the right to utilize it's own property, which is the right of way. for the exploitation of wealth that was hidden and unsuspected when the com pany acquired the right of way, put down its rails and began the operation et this line.
