ports. The disease is marked by tho
suddenness OF attack and the high per-

reports show, while three -fourths of
the hospital attendants have been
stricken.
Red Cross doctors who had expert

United States and France say they are
amazed at the almost instant infection
upon exposure and the quick develop
ment OF the disease. Death in tnany
cases occurs within twenty-four hours.
Women and young people appear to be

at night, the pallbearers carrying
torches in accordance with the Polish
custom.

DOWNTOWN PARADE
 IF KU-KLUX KHAN

The local organization of the Ku-Klux e' Klan was out in full force and in full uniform last night and treated the city to real thrill.
 Whence they came no one knows. but about o'clock all the downtown streets were suddenly alive with them. They were first seen in front of the Louisville and Nashville depot, marching north on Twentieth street.
 Each one had a white cloth wrapped around his head. Cleaning eyes peered out through little holes that had been slit in the cloth.
 A long, flowing white robe covered them from their shoulders to their a ankles. Many of the robes were mud stained as if their wearers had trav- eled a great distance.
 They marched slowly in regular parade fashion, six abreast. Some rode horses. Others were riding in automobiles, but the majority of them were marching.
 A strange silence seemed to settle down over the city. Not a word was spoken by the crowds who had filled the town : bent on their late Saturday night shop ping. Street cars and automobiles stopped dead still until they had passed
 When they were about two blocks away another small army of the dazzling white robes made their appearance. This time the commander, who rode a horse ahead of his marching mystery. called halt and allowed the street cars and the eu- tomobiles to pass so as to not cause jam of traffic.
 Many thought it was just parade or drill, and that they had gone But in a short time later they were again on the downtown streets
 This time they. were not marching in parade fashion. They mixed with the people on the sidewalks. They waved at z other companions who were riding in au- tomobiles. They boarded street cars in large numbers and rode short distance.
 As time passed their numbers seemed to be increasing. Numbers of them were seen in the middle of the blocks and on all the street corners. Sometimes they would wave as they would pass each other, but no one, it seems. heard one of them speak word.
 short time later they had all disap- peared. Where they went to- no one knew any more. than where they had comea .om.
