that America cannot tolerate such demonstrations

In speaking Of these outbreaks and their dan

DEADLIER FLUKILLS
AUSTRIAN CHILDREN

\ new form/of influenza. which
attacks the brain of it's victim, is
taking unhindered toll among the
children of Vienna, according to a
report received Saturday by the
American Red Cross. The malady
thus far has defied medical science.
1t leaves the sufferer stupefied and
terribly emaciated.
One child. aged years, fell sick,
and at death weighed but twenty
nine pounds. All steps possible have
been taken to prevent a spread of
the epidemic. but there is almost a
famine of medicine, supplies and
food in Vienna.
The extraordinary cold weather of
the Austrian winter contributed
largely to the prevalence of the epi-
demic among the children. Without
food and clothing, and in a greatly
weakened physical condition, they
quickly succumb to the disease.
