GROWS IN CLUMPS

People Just as Sick as Last
Year and Death Rate
Is as High

Chicago, Jan. 24.--Dr. Earl G.. Carr,
senior grade lieutenant in charge of
the main laboratory at the Great Lakes
naval training station, has isolated the
influenza germ, he announced to-day
1T is the real influenza bacillus dis
covered by Pfeffer in England" DR.,
Carr said. "The bacillus is very small
about onefourth the size Of the tu-
berculosis bacillus--t is non -motile
and grows in clumps. The presence of
this bacillus makes people just as sick
as they were last year and in my opin-
ion the death rate per thousand cases
is as high. There are not, however, as
many cases as there were last year"

SHIPPERS Warned
OF CAR SHORTAGE
Director General Hines of the Railroad
Administration Makes Request
for Continued Co.
operation.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 24.-Warn-
ing of car shortage during the next
two months was issued to shippers to-
day by Director General Hines of the
railroad administration, with a request
for continued cooperation to make the
best of the situation.
The director general pledges the rail
road administration to make every ef-
fort to meet the condition and points
out what he eharacterizes as the linz
itations with which it will have to
deal.
General industrial activity, the set
back which transportation suffered dur
ing the coal strike and the fact that
the railroad administration, facing an
early return of the roads to private
owners may not buy additional freight
cars are the principal elements in the
problem, the director general says.
ITO make this inadequate amount of
equipment 90 az far as possible" says
the director general, 'the railroad ad-
ministration has pooled equipment in
order to equalize the supply as far as
possible and give all shippers as equal
treatment as possible under the cireum-
stances; has made use of the permit
system in order to avoid accumula-
tons: has appointed special terminal
committees to speed up the movement
gef freight through terminals where a
great deal of delay has occurred in the
past; during the prevalence OF difficult
situation in the wheat growing terri
tory has given preference TO the loading
Of wheat on the ground; has placed the
refrigerator ear supply of the country
under one agency to get the maximum
utility out of all such cars available;
has carried on constant campaign to
bring about heavier loading OF equip
mcnt during the prevalence OF the
greatest need for the movement Of coal
and at the present time has given coal
preference for loading in open-top
equipment: has eliminated eircuitous
routes as far as practicable; has trans
ferred locomotives at different times to
the portions of the country where they
we're needed the most; and has given

INDUSTRIAL FUTURE OF JAPAN
Japanese Are More Concerned About 1t
Than World Domination.

Frazier Hunt, in special cable to
The Chronicle from Toxic, asserts that
Japan is greatly worried over the pos
sibility of being isolated because of the
reported refusal of England to renew
the Anglo-Japanese agreement which
will expire in 1921. japanese states
men. he declares, are beginning to real
ize that the future of their country is
dependent upon the promotion of indus
trialism rather than the extension of
territory. There is no doubt that he is
right, except as to the time of the
awakening. That occurred long ago,
and it is safe to assert that the wise
men OF Japan have not overlooked the
result, although Europeans and Amer
leans were for long time unconscious
that "the little brown man" was ac-
complishing something.
There are jingoes in every country,
and Japan has her share of them, but
while there are many Japanese who
are disposed to carry a chip on the
shoulder they are greatly outnumbered
by the sensible, who hold tenaciously
to the view that the surest road to ma
tional greatness is through industry
and commerce.
If the Toxic correspondent is right
in his assumption that there is a per-
ceptible change in the attitude of any
considerable number of formerly ag-
excessively disposed Japanese, due TO
the fear that the British alliance can
not be renewed, the treaty by which it
was effected may be held responsible
for the truculent disposition displayed
by some japanese during recent years.
Formerly the most friendly relations
existed. Americans were regarded by
all classes of japanese with more favor
than other westerners. Perhaps the Jap
anese statesmen uneonsciously may
have imbibed the impression that an
alliance with Great Britain would act
as restraining influence upon the
United States, but the probabilities ia
vor the belief that they only had in
mind the strengthening of their hand in
the far East.
But, whatever motives NAV have
the alliance, il is a pleasure
TO learn that the possibility OF its aban-
ionment has turned Japanese thought
into other than military channels, if for
no other reason than its probable effect
on the minds of timid Americans, who
have been taught to believe that Japan

Hoover's Great Distinction.

Mr.. Hoover is incomparably the one
man enjoying the distinction of being
doomed for president by both Republi-
cans and Democrats a Republican in
Connecticut named Scoville being the
latest TO identify him with the Repub
lican nomination II is an interesting
The popular mind is very
simple and it drives straight at the
mark when ii can see things whole
without the distortion that goes with
partisan prejudice. So long as Hoover
is identified with no party in the pub
lie mind Democrats and Republicans
view him with equal favor. He would
poll to-day as big vote from one
party as from the other. 1t is easy to
imagine what would happen TO him the
moment he crossed the Rubicon.-

Thrift, or Starvation Ahead.

All the nations Of the world are TO.
day like the prodigal son. They have
borrowed their future inheritances; and
after a drunken debauch lasting from
Aug. /, 1914, to Nov. III, 1918, they are
now engaged in feeding the hogs-the
profiteers-in a way that was never
before true.
The average working man is limited
IN education and has no knowledge
whatever of political economy. With
the outbreak of the war many OF these
men suddenly discovered as munition
workers or ship riveters that they could
get three times as much money as they
had ever earned before in their lives.
Myriads OF these men knew so little of
economics that it would be folly even
to try to tell them that all the wages
paid to them during the war had to
come out OF somebody's savings And
having fiirted for time with wages of
$40 TO $50 per day, lots of them have
concluded that the world has changed
and that instead OF having to work
hard for a living hereafter, and to be
careful of the dimes, nickels and PEN
MES, they can safely spend every cent
they earn, without any reckoning day
ever arriving.
No heresy could be worse. II there
was need for these men to save during
the war so that they could participate
in the various loans, il is still more nee
essary nov; for the interest on all the
loans must be paid, and the running
expenses OF the government must be
paid, and there is no way in which
these expenses can be met except by
the savings of the people Whether
these savings of the people are obtained
indirectly by loans or directly by taxa
tion. ii IS certain that these obligations
must be met, and it is self-evident that
the governments cannot borrow from
him who has saved nothing From
the Golden Age.

A CITY WITHOUT A NEWSPAPER
Business in Winnipeg Suffering from
General Uncertainty and Unrest.

This city is now beginning to feel the

School Notes.

High School play will be given April
23rd. The public will be expected to
cooperate in making it a success
In the Inter-high-schoo debate be-
tween Bowling Green High School
and Ironton at Bowling Green last
Friday 'evening, Bowling Green was
the winner. The debate was closely
contested. All four debaters did
their parts we'll, Ironton's debsters
were less effective in rebuttal than
they had been at Cape Girardeau, al
though they we're strong on their
constructive argument. Bowling
Green debaters were we'll trained.
They said about all they could say
on the negative, They used very
effective rebuttal, and were very
direct in all their arguments. The
chief reason for their victory vas
found IN the enthusiastic support given
them by their scnool and town. The
local newspaper had written to Iron
ton for advertising matter a week in
advance of the debate. The school
board, newspaper, hotels, barber
shops and the town in general were
''on their toes'' for the debate. This
interest prevailed despite the fact
that it was the fourth time the town
had heard their debaters. An aud
fence of about 400 people cheered the
team to victory. Irontou was given
a very cordial reception and except
ing one or two irregularities the con
test was fair and interesting. Bowl
ing Green deserves a victory: any
fOur1 that will land tho clnrNnrt II did

serves commentator. The victory
was not for the debaters and teachers
alone, it was for the entire town.

Baptist News and Notes.

The attendance at the Bible School
last Sunday was the largest we have
had this year. The congregation at
the morning worship was above the
average. The fine weather, the re-
covery of some of our people who
were i'll, the return of some of our
absent members, and the presence Of
friends and strangers, contributed to
the increased attendance. Come
again, you will always receive a warm
welcome. We are always glad to see
parents with small children. The
play and prattle of very small child
rem does not disturb the pastor. The
sounds they make are music to his
ears, but ~inattention and conduct that
shows lack of reverence on the part
of those who are old enough to know
better do disturb him very much.
