conference called to consider the
disease met today to listen to re-
port Of its committee on epidemic
phases of the malady.
The conference was minus its lea
der, Surgeon General Cumming. who
himself was i'll with influenza. 1t had
been informed by DR.. G.. II. RigeloW,
state health officer of Massa chu-
sets. that in his opinion there was
no influenza epidemic. DR.. Rigelow
in addition to saying that he was
tired Of reading about the supposed
epidemic. declared that graphs.
charts an figures issued were moth
ing more than reports on the panic
of the nation.
If any OF DIR. Bigelow's fellow
physicians and health officers agreed
with him they failed to say SO. DR..
NJ. J. Rosenau, professor of preNen-
tive medicine at Harvard, asserted
that he believed influenza did not
kill people but that pneumonia was
responsible for the fatalities.
Committee to Meet
DR. Eosenau, member of CHM
mittee which recently reported the
discovery OF a new pneumonia
serum. announced that his commit
tee would meet here after the close
OF the influenza conference. lie SAID
he believed that work done by the
present conference would help in
bringing about a cure for pneu-
monia and influenza and that thus
cure could probably be in the form
OF 4 serum.
The warning that there was dam
ger OF getting influenza by drinking
out OF a friends cocktail glass was
given by Dr. Frank Smithies, OF
Chicago, a conference member. lie
also said that dancing with the
faces too close and wearing too

the skin for several days, and being I'M

While these men were despairing of
hope the wireless operator stuck to his
post, communicating with various ships
and finally the America alone. This
man. Di Gansi, deserves much OF the
credit for his shipmates being saved.

alongside that he left his room, his
radio silenced by the elements.
Last Desperate Attempt.
When the Americas lifeboat was near
the Florida and the rope stretched be-
tween the two to effect the rescue many
of the men had to call upon their re-
serve energy so that in one last desper-
ate attempt they could work, hand over
hand. their way to the lifeboat.

The dog freed himself just as the

however, that this was not only dan
