for colds. Always cautious and
conservative, the medical officers
want more time to collect data on
more cases before hsralding a new
discovery.
But this much can be said. OF
the 5000 or more men given vac
cine In the fall OF l943, the reduc-
ton was rs per cent, az compared
to an equal number OF men without
the shots living under the same
conditions.
One special unit test showed the
same percentage of prevention OF
influenza. Forty-three men were
given the flu vaccine against type
A and B flu. The result was that
rs per cent did not get the flu and
the rs per cent had only light
cases. This serum, which has
taken over two years to develop, is
unusual IN that II seems to be eff
fective against both A and b types.
Encouraged. an Army order went
out on October l, 1945, that all
personnel would be vaccinated and
new draftees will receive 1t, too.
From the civilian viewpoint, the
cure is still around the corner as
only small amounts are available
at the moment and only in special
civilian cases has the remedy been
used. Only six firms make the
preparation for the armed forces.
But when It reaches the civilian
market 1t will not be prohibitiyely
expensive.
Meanwhile, there's more good
flu news over at the United States
Public Health Service. The cur
rent influenza epidemic, which had
the officials and doctors worried
for awhile, Is on the decline. The
USPHs says its unlikely to reach
anything like the proportions Of the
epidemic OF 1e1S-l919.
Reports from 45 OF the As states,
plus the District OF Columbia for
the week ended last Saturday, show
a total OF 35,704 cases. In the pre-
ceding week, ended December 30.
the same states gave total OF
1899.
The so-called epidemic" has
not been as severe in Michigan, the
United States Public Health Ser
vice reports. For those same two
weeks. only IL real flu cases have
been reported.
These igures do not in them
selves give an accurate idea Of the
extent OF the epidemic since a
very large proportion OF influenza
cases never come under the eye OF
a physician and so are not report
ed. But, since this has been true
! in all previous influenza eqidemics,
The Ypsilanti daily press. (Ypsilanti, Mich.) 1928-1962, 1946-01-16

the figures do AFFORD a fairly reli-
able index.
Whatever alarm was caused by
the present epidemic (Which the
USPHS will not admit has reached
that proportion yeti was based on
the memory of the terrible Span
ish influenza" after the last war,
estimated at more than 20 million
dead, or about two and half times
the number killed In World War |.
In the United States within six
months approximately one out OF
every 200 inhabitants died of II.
Medical officers and officials say
here tina the most extraordinary
thing about the war Just ended rs
that II is perhaps the only import
ant war In history not accompanied
or followed by some great epidemic.
All the conditions that make for
great epidemics have been pres
emit. Large masses of lien from
all parts OF the world have mingled
together. Cities have been con-
gested. Acute scarcities of shelter,
cleanliness. and food have existed.
Minor outbreaks existed. Minor
outbreaks of familiar wartime dis
eases, like cerebrospinal fever,
have been reported, but these have
been localized and brought under
control.
The Navy reports they have an
available supply of the flu vaccine
and are making their own controll-
ed tests, but as yet, do not re-
quire the men to have immuniza-
ton shots.
Most Michiganders know, at least
vaguely, that there's some copper
mined in Upper Michigan, but few
know we are silver" state, too.
Yet. according to the most recent
report from the Bureau OF Mines of
the Department OF Interior. Michi-
gan produced last year 23.774
ounces OF silver. The only other
central state producing any size
able amount was Mr.. Humans Mis-
souri, with s4,905 ounces. But Mis-.
souri, isn't in the same class with
Michigan when 1t comes to copper.
Michigan produced 30,665 short
tons OF copper (yalued at sS,340.-
$500 as compared to Missouri's
scant 5000 tons valued at sS16,000.

Audrey gave a sigh. Her small,
clear-cut face was peaceful and
pure as a cameo.
It's almost a relief. I'm glad
it's-over!"
Neville sprang forward.
-Audrey-don't say anything

She smiled at him.
But why not, Neville. It's all
true-and I'm so tired"
Leach drew a deep breath. Wen,

Thomas Royde broke In His
voice was quiet and pleasant
do stop repeating that it's pre-
posterous. Neville. Pull yourself to-
gether. Don't you see that the only
thing that can help Audrey now is
for you to give up all your ideas Of
chivalry and come out with the
TRUTH"
The truth? You mean
Il mean the truth about Audrey
and Adrian" Royde turned to the
police officers. You see, Superin-
tendent, you've got the facts
wrong. Neville didn't leave Audrey.
She left him. She ran away with
my brother Adrian Then Adrian
was killed in a car accident. Neville
behaved with the utmost chivalry
to Audrey. He arranged that she
should divorce him and that he
would take the blame"
Didn't want her name dragged
through the mud muttered Me-
vile sullSily. Didn't know anyone
knew"
Adrian wrote out to me. Just be-
fore" explained Thomas briefly. He
went on: Don't you see, Superin-
tendent, that knocks your motive
out! Audrey has no cause to hate
Neville. On the contrary. she has
every reason to be grateful to him.
He's tried to get her to accept an
allowance which she wouldn't do.
Naturally when he wanted her to
come and meet Kay she didn't feel
she could refuse"
you see," Neville put In eagerly.
THAT cuts out her motive. Thomas
Is right"
Battles wooden face was immov-
able.
Motives only one thing" he
said. Il may have been wrong
about that. But facts are. another.
All the facts show that she's
guilty"
Neville said meaningiy:
All the facts showed that I was
guilty two days ago!"
Battle seemed a little taken
aback.
That's true enough. But look
here, Mr.. Strange, at what you're
asking me to believe. You're ask
ing me to believe that there's some
one who hates both Of you-some-
one who, II the plot against you
failed. had laid a second trail to
lead to Audrey Strange. Now can
you think Of anyone, Mr.. Strange,
who hates both you and your for-
mer wife7"
Nevile's head had dropped into
his hands again.
when you say II like that, you
make It all sound fantastic!"
Because II is fantastic. I've got
to go by facts. II Mrs. Strange has
any explanation to offer"
Did I have any explanation ?"
asked Neville.
IT'S no good, Mr.. Strange. I've
got to do my duty"
Battle got up abruptly. He and
Leach left the room first. Neville
and Royde came close behind them.
They went on across the hall into
the drawing room. There they
stopped.
Audrey Strange got up. She
walked forward to meet them. She
looked straight at Battle, her lips
parted In what was very nearly a
smile.

Strange h left-handed. noted that

the gloves outside her window, the
hair and powder on the coat. Lady
Tressilian was struck on the right
tempie-but the position OF the bed
made II impossible for anyone to
have stood on the other side Of It.
II follows that TO strike Lady Tres
silian q blow with the right hand
would be a very awkward thing to
ho-but It's the natural way to
strike for a left-handed person"
Neville laughed scornfully.
Are you suggesting that Audrey
Audrey would make all these
elaborate preparations and strike
down an old lady whom she had
known for years In order to get her
hands on that old lady's money!"
Battle shook his head.
TIN suggesting nothing Of the
sort. I'm sorry, Mr.. Strange. you've
got to understand Just how things
are. This crime, first, last and all
the time, was directed against you.
Ever since you left her, Audrey
Strange has been brooding over the
possibilities Of revenge. In the end
she has become mentally unbal-
anced. Perhaps she was never men,
tally very strong. She thought, per-
haps. Of killing you. but that wasn't
enough. She thought at last Of get
ting you hanged for murder. She
chose an evening when she knew
you had quarreled with Lady Tres
silian. She took the coat from your
bedroom and wore It when she
struck the old lady down so that II
should be bloodstained- She put
your niblick on the floor, knowing
we would find your f1ngerprints on
It, and smeared blood and hair on
the head OF the club. II was she
who instilled into your mind the
kdca OF coming here when she was
here And the thing that saved you
was the one thing she couldn't
count on-the fact that Lady Tres
silian rang her bell for Barrett and
that Barrett saw you leave the
house"
Neville had buried his face In his
hands. He said now:
Its not true. It's not true! Au-
drey's never borne a grudge against
me. You've got the whole thing
wrong. She's the straightest, truest
creature-without one thought Of
evil in her heart"
Battle sighed
It's not my business to argue
with you, MT. Strange. I only
wanted to prepare you. shall eau
ton Mrs. Strange and ask her To
accompany me. I've got a warrant.
You'd better see about getting a so
HECTOR for her."
ITS preposterous. Absolutely
preposterous.
Love turns 70 hate more easily
than yos think, Mr.. Strange"

posterous."

BAD TOELZ, Germany. Jan. 19
{ AP)--Ten Russians who fought
for the Germans on the eastern
front committed suicide and q
others slashed themselves in a
flaming prisoners barracks at
Dachau today when American SOL
diers tried TO force them to re-
turn TO Russia. L. S. Third Army
headquarters announced.
The Russians at first had bar
ricaded themselves in the bar
racks, set it afre, stripped off
their clothes, linked arms and in
vited American soldiers and
Polish guards TO shoot them. Not
a shot was fred by the Americans.
Fhe wounded, prevented from
killing themselves by the Amer
ican guards, were taken TO a hos
pital. All had slit their throats
or inflicted other wounds.
Army officials said the 81 were
part of group of 72l who were
members of a force of flying Cos
sacks commanded by 1t. Gen.
