Des MOines.-The state board of
health has issued new regulations re-
garding quarantine for influenza,
modifying the present law some-
what. The notifications permit per-
sons in good health living in a house
where influenza exists provided they
do not enter the sick room.
The state board has received
request from the public health de-
partment at Washington for daily
telegram showing the total number
Of cases of influenza and pneumonia
and also deaths taking place in Iowa.
In order to. obtain this information
the state board must in turn re-
quire daily reports by wire from all
large communities in the state.
Secretary Sumner of the state
board is therefore sending requests
to mayors, health officers, embalm-
crs, undertakers, nurses and physic-
ians to report these cases of influen-
"a, pneumonia, or deaths from these
diseases, to the local board of health
which in turn is to report to the
state board. In an order just sent
out DR.. Sumner also includes the
following.
Must Be Quarantined.
SAll cases OF influenza must be
quar9ntined and reported promptly
to tAe, local board OF health which
board shall Immediately put the

utmost care must be exercised in pre-.
venting the spread Of this disease.
j is now , state law that all cases
Of infiuenza must be quarantiped. N

xs Is q crowd disease. hence stay
sway from crowds and avoid breath
ing into faces of people with whom
you are in conversation and do not

Undertakers shall not hold public
funerals over the remains Of any
person dead from either influenza or
pneumonia and no such remains

,or rooms. This order is not to be
lifted until notice shall have been
received from the state, board of

and comparatively few deaths are be-
ing reported.

NOT TO GUST SULTAN
Lloyd George Gives Statement
On Turkish Settlement.
Doubt Of American Position Delayed
Question Premier Tells Parlia-
ment.

London.-Replying to criticism OF
the governments foreign policy by
Herbert H. AshQuith, member Of the
House for Paisley, Premier Lloyd
George gave a detailed examination
Of the Turkish settlement. The pre-
mier said it would have been a blunder
to have settled the Turkish problem
without giving the United States the
most ample opportunity to decide
whether it would accept mandate.
because it would have given rise to
suspicions that Great Britain and
France were taking advantage Of the
political dissensions in the United
States to divide the whole of Turkey
among themselves.
1T was only when America denite-
ly refused the mandate that we pro-
ceeded without her." Mr.. Lloyd George
declared.
Sultan to Remain.
The premier said the proposal to
GUST the sultan had been rejected as
inadequate because it left the ques-
ton OF the government Of Constantine
ople undecided and the Allies were
anxious to avoid the expense and re-
.sponsibility of the administration of
Constantinople. With regard to Ar
menia, the premier continued, France
would have been willing to hand c.
licia to the United States il the latter
had accepted the mandate.
up to the present we have only re-
ceived requests from America to pro-
tect Armenia, without any offer to as
sumo responsibility" Mr.. Lloyd George
said. I'VE hope France will undertake
the responsibility but it is too much
to ask considering all the burdens
France already has"
The premier contended that is was
impossible for England to send armies
to keep order in Armenia and Asia
Minor. England would do her utmost
to exert pressure in Constantinople to
secure good treatment for. Christians,
he asserted, but was unable to accept
wider responsibility.
American Note Dispatched.
Washington.-The note to the Allied
Supreme council outlining the Amer
lean governments views on the Turk
ish settlement has been dispatched by
the State department. 1t was the first
diplomatic paper to bear the signature
of cambridge Colby, the new secre-
tary of state.
