INFLUENZA CASES
REPORTED IN D. c.
Of MILD NATURE
Symptoms of Patients lndi-
cate They May Be Suffering
From Grip.
Although seventy new cases of epi-

Although seventy new cases of epl-
demic influenza were today reported
to the health authorities of the DIS
trict, making total of 143 cases
since January /, the disease is said to
be thus far in mild form.
Considerable doubt exists in the
minds of Washington physicians
whether the present outbreak is really
influenza or "old-fashioned grip The
symptoms of the majority or cases
are said to differ somewhat from the
evidences of influenza. In the present
cases, it is reported. the patients are
troubled mostly with an intense head-
ache, nausea and an extremely sore
throat. 1t is the grip symptoms
which. it Is understood. make physl-
clans hesitate to pronounce inf1uenZt.
Physicians Doubtful.
DR.. w. c. Fowler, District health Of
fcer. said today that he had received
numerous calls from physicians. who
said they were doubtful whether or
not to report cases which had come
under their observation. because of
the lack of conclusive influenza
symptoms" DR.. Fowler told them
that no case should be reported to the
health authorities unless it was as
certained beyond all doubt that the
patient was really suffering from cpl
demic influenza.
the Red Cross in this city is suffering
from what Is believed to be grip. ac-
cording to Miss Edna Barber. assist
ant nurse-in charge at the Red Cross
emergency dispensary. Miss Barber
said the symptoms differ slightly
from influenza.
The health department, according to
DR.. Fowler. is taking every precaution
to meet any issue that may arise, but.
he said, he does not think there should
be any uneasness at the present time.
Rules to BE Observed.
The following rules for the pre-
vention of influenza We're issued to-
day by DR.. Fowler:
/. Do not let any person cough or
sneeze in your face if possible to
prevent it. Keep out of the sick
room unless in attendance. Be sure
to wash your hands often.
2. Avoid all exposure, excesses or
fatigue. Eat regularly and get suf-
ficient sleep, Keep in the fresh air
as much as possible.
3. Do not use common towels or
4. Walk to work if possible and
avoid crowded street cars and un-
necessary crowds
The public health service today
announced that there had been an
outbreak of influenza in Chicago, but
that it should not be the occasion of
any alarm. Steps have been taken,
it was said, to localize the disease.
No Serious Recurrence Expected.
Admitting that SO little is known
about influenza that it was impossible
to make a forecast with any degree
of certainty the health service ex-
pressed confidence that there would
not be a serious recurrence of the
disease because the malady ran it's
course a year ago and left millions
immune, movement of large bodies of
troops have ceased. doctors and nurses
have returned to civilian work. there
are no reports Of serious outbreaks
in foreign countries. and because of
the few cases in the United States.
there being only 1863 reported from
September /, 1919, to January 10. 1920,
in comparison with 100000 during
the same period year ago.

PLANS EARLY PROBE
At NAVAL PRISON
Department to Investigate
the Charges of immortality
at Portsmouth.

Immediate investigation of charges
of immortality among inmates at the
Portsmouth naval prison. transmitted
to the Navy Department by agents of
the Department of Justice last Octo-
ber will be made by the naval au-
thorities. Assistant Secretary Roose-
Welt announced today upon his return
from an inspection Of the prison.
MIR. ROOsevclt's Statement.
Whether there is any foundation
for the charges of immortality | can
at this time venture no opinion" said
Mr. Roosevelt. 1.-The investiga ton,
which is to be conducted by Rear Ad-
mirals Dunn and Halstead. command
ants of the first naval district and
the Portsmouth yard. respectively,
assisted by Commander Thomas Mott
Osborne, commandant of the prison,
will be thorough, and if the evidence
warrants the appointment of a court
of inquiry that step will be taken"
Mr.. Roosevelt said he could explain
why the charges of immortality, lodged
with the Navy Department in October,
never had been acted upon by the de-
partment or brought to the attention of
Commander Osborne before his recent
visit to the prison.
Will Recommend Change,
While not indicating that he discov-
cred any evidence of inefficient admin

he would recommend to Secretary Dam
iels. Jointly with Rear Admirals Dunn
and Halstead, that the Portsmouth
prison be placed under the direct con-
troll of the Judge Advocate General of
the Navy as promising perhaps more
responsive administration than under the
direct authority of the commandant of
the Portsmouth Yard.
Warmly defending the war record
OF the prison. Mr.. Roosevelt denied
reports that moral degenerates'' have
been returned wholesale to the naval
service by Commander Osborne. The
men are carefully segregated into
groups, he said, according to whether
they have been guilty of mere in
fraction of military regulation or were
convicted on more serious charges in
volving moral delinquency.
only Four Returned to Service.
Only four men of the latter group
Mr. Roosevelt said, have been re-
| turned to the service, two of these
being accepted by the captain of III,
| ship to which they We're assigned anG
, the other two sent back because there
was insufficient evidence to JUSTLY
their being held in prison.
| Although the number of inmate.
| reached a maximum of 1000 during
! the war, only seven men have made
good their escape in two years, Mr.
] Roosevelt said, adding that this un.
doubtedly was the lowest percentage
or any prison in the country"

aid. recommended for the D. s. NJ and
reduced to a Navy cross. This officer
he said, had much to do with the sue
cess of American operations in Eu
ropean waters and deserved the
thanks and gratitude of the Ameri-
can people" as much as any other ma
val officer.
Contrast this situation with the
fact that Secretary Daniels brother
worthy. but one who lost his shil
without injuring the enemy, was
recommended for the Navy cross and
received a ID. S. NJ Admiral Sims
said. That is what all naval officers
complain of. what has reduced naval
morale to zero"
Other Instances Mentioned.
The admiral said he had recon-
mended Lieut.. A. l.. Gates and Ensign
H. G. Hammann for medals of honor
because of exceptional heroism and
Gates had finally received d. S. NJ,
while Hammann got Navy cross
Lieut. Frank Bruce, deceased, also
recommended for the medal of honor
was reduced to Navy cross by the
not having considered the case.
No enlisted men of the Navy were
recommended for medals of honor,
Admiral Sims said, as little oppor-
tunity for actual combat was offered.
All officers recommended for the
medal of honor were of the air serv-
ice.
Asked by Senator Trammell. demo-
crat, of Florida. if more men had not
been decorated for service on shore
than at sea, Admiral Sims replied:
Yes; / cannot seem to impress on
you the fact that there was no naval
war so far as we were concerned on
the other side
Objections Summarized.
Summing up his objections to the
decorations award policy. Admiral
Sims declared that the awarding of
medals to men who lost their ships
in action without engaging the enemy
was without precedent in the history
Of the American Navy or any other
navy and had resulted in absolutely
shattering the morale of the service"
He attacked changes made both by
Secretary Daniels and the Knight
board. bluntly stating that he did not
have confidence in the boards ability
to judge of the relative merits of
officers.
Oficers of the Navy, the admiral
said. would much rather have no
medals awarded than TO have them
juggled around. He said that his chief
criticism was not that some of his
recommends tions had not been ap-
proved. but was that by awarding
medals of different value than he
recommended to various officers of his
staff :he board and the Secretary had
changed the relative order of merit
of the service of the officers, confer
ring high decorations on officers who
performed moro or less routine duty
and lower honors on officers who ad-
ministered posts of extreme import
aacc.
