RELAXATION NOW MEANS
DEFEAT SAYS WILSON
Washington, Oct 14.—President
Wilson today Issued this statement of
' the Fourth Liberty Loan:
' The reply of the German Govern
ment to my note of inquiry dated
October 8, gives occasion for me to
•ay to my fellow countrymen that
neither that reply nor any other re

ished the vital importance nf tiie Lib
erty Loam. Relaxation now, hesita
tion now, would mean defeat when
victory seems to, be in sight; would
mean years of war inetcat of peace
upon our own terms.
I earnestly request every patriotic
American to leave to the Govern
ments of the United States end of tho
AlUes the momenteue discussions Ini
tiated by Germany and to remember
that for each man hie duty is to
strengthen the hands ef these govern
ments and to do it in the moet bn.

Epldemlo Probably Not Spanish In
Origin—Germ Still Unknown—Peo,

Infection”—Surgeon General Blue
Makes Authoritative Statement
Washington, D. a—(Special.)—Al
though Ming Alphonso of Spain was
one cf the victims of the Influents epi
demic in IMS end again this summer,
Spanish authorities repudiate any
claim to Influents as a “Spanish" dis
ease. If the people of this country do
not take, can the epidemic will be
come so. widespread throughout the
United States that soon wo shell hear
the disease celled “American” Influ
ents.
In response to a request for definite
Information concerning Spanish influ
enza, Surgeon General Rupert Blue of
the U. S. Public Health Service hue
authorised the fallowing oilcisl inter
view:
What Is Spanish Influenzal Is It
something ntw? Does it corns from
Spain? .
“The’ disease now occurring In thil
country and called ’Spanish Idfluen-
x*' resembles a Vfry contagious kind
of 'cold' accompanied by fever, pains

that In tbit disease the number it
white corpuscles shows little or no In
crease above the normal. It Is possi
ble that the laboratory lnveatlratlons
now being made through the National
Research Council and the United
States Hygienic Laboratory will fur
nish a more certain way In which Indi
vidual cases of this disease can be
recognised.?
What is the couree of the disease?
Do people die of it?
“Ordinarily,- the fever lasts from
three to four (Jays and the patient re
covers. But while the proportion of
deaths in the present epidemic has
generally been low, In some places the
outbreak has been severe and deaths
have been numerous When death oc
curs It la usually ths remit of a com
plication."
What causes the disease and hour Is
It spread?
“Bacteriologists who bare studied in

found In many of the. cases a very

discoverer, Pfeiffer's bacillus In other
cases of apparently the seme kind of

•ymptonis disappear after threo or four
days, the patient then rapidly recover
ing. Some of the patients, however,
develop pneumonia, or inflammation
of the car, or meningitis, nod many of
these complicated cates die. Whether
this so-cnllcd ‘Spanish* Influonsn la
Identical with the epidemics of influen
za of earlier years Is not yet known. -
“Epidemics of Influensa have vlalted
this country alnco 1047. It li interest
ing to know that this Brut epidemic
was brought hero from Vtlencia,
Spalp. Since Hint time there hive
been numeroun epidemics of the dis
ease. In 1880 and 1880 an epidemic
of Influensa, starting somewhere In the
Orient, spread Oral to Ruala and
thence over practically the entire civs
lilted world. Three years later there
wee another flare-up of the diseases
Both times the epidemic spread wide
ly over the Ubltad States.
“Although the present epidemic Is
celled ‘Spanish influensa,' there Is nd
reason to belltvs that it originated Id
Spain. Some writers who havt studied
the question believe that the epldemld
came from the Orient end they call at-
tentlon to the feet that the (tannine
mention the disease as occurring along
the eastern front In the summer and
fall of 101T. k
How can “Spanish Influensa” be rec-
'No matter what particular kind of
germ causes the epidemic, It Is now
believed that Influensa la always
spread from person to person, the
germs being carried- with the air along
with the vary small droplets of mucus,
expelled by coughing or sneezing,
forceful talking, and the like by one
who already hau the germs of the dis
ease. They may also be carried about
in the air In the form of duet coming
from dried mucus, from coughing and
sneezing, or from careless people who
spit on the floor and on the sidewalk.

person who baa only a mild attack of
the disease himself may give a very
severe attack to others.”
What should -bo done by those who
catch tho disease?
“It Is very Important that every per
son who becomes sick with Influensa
should go borne at once and go to bed.
Tbls will help keep away dangerflus
complications and will, nt the same
time, keep the patient from scattering

“There Is as yet no certain way In
which a tingle cess of 'Spanish influ
enza’ can be recognised. On the oth
er. hand, recognition Is easy where
there Is u group of cutes. In contrast
to the outbreaks of ordinary coughi
and colds, which usually occur In the
cold months, epidemics of Influensa
may occur at any season of the year.
Thus the present epidemic raged most
Intensely In Europe in Muy, June and
July. Moreover, In the cnee of ordi
nary colds, the general symptoms
(fever, pain, depression) are by no
means as severe or as sudden in their
oneft as they are In influent*. Final
ly, ordinary colds do not spread
through the community so rapidly or
•o extensively si does Influenza.
”In most cue* a person taken sick
with Influensa fools sick rather sud
denly. He feels weak, has pains In the
•yes, ran, brad or back, and may bo
sore alt over. Many patients feel
dtsay, aome vomit Moet of the pa
tients complain of feeling chilly, and
with this comes a' fever la which the
temperature rises to 100 to 101 In
moet cates the pulse remains relative
ly slow.
"In appearance one Is struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. Hla
•yet and the inner tide of his eyelids
may be slightly ‘bloodshot’ or 'con
gested,' as the doctors ray. There
may be running from the note, or
there may bo tome cough. These signs
of a cold may not bo marked; never-
tholora tho patlsnt look* and feels very
sick ,
