Anlstei'dam, Oct. 26.— Although the

lly ending of the war. This paper
‘which has hitherto refrained from op

- CHANGE OF
i'(iEFIMAN(S. SAY HE MISCONSTRUES
| wu’g&T HAS HAPPENED IN
GERMANY
Copenhagen, Oct. 26—With few ex
ceptions the German press condemns
Wilson’s latest note, saying it is an
alteration of his former standpoint
and betrays a lack of comprehension
of recent events in Germany as well
as a misconstruction of what has hap
pened there. 1t is also said that the
‘note represents a concession to the
demands of the Allied nations.
~ Theodore Wolf, writing in the Tage
;blatt, criticizes wilson for alleged in
ilnrt’orence with the internal problems
of the notians of the Central Powers
He adds: “The peace which the Pres
ident proposes is a peace placing Ger
many at the mercy of its opponents
Wilson’s policy is one of brute force.
We must be prepared for whatever
may come.”
z, you might reasonably confclude
the epidemic is a contagion, but you
might be concluding things that are
not true. Far up in the last floor of
the Atlanta prison lives a prisoner
wixo gees no one except his jailer, and
his jailer has no trouble of any kind.
This prisoner has a fine case of influ
enza. In the county prison camp here
nearly every prisoner has suffered
an attack. These have no contact
with others. :
This bears out the argument that
it is a condition of the atmosphere
more than anything else that causes
the cold, the cold grows worse and
fever develops .that reaches a stage
which 1918 fashioners of names for
new ills have chosen to call Spanish
influenza. It will become pheumonia
iit not cared for properly. Then death
comes rapidly. This is the whole story
about influenza.
Dr. T. J. McArthur, who nas last
ed longer than any of the others, if
at home unable to stir. He has been
right sick since Friday. Others physi
cians of the city are all stirring again.
some of them on their regular calls
and great relief has been felt. Lack
of medical attention has developed
some sad c3ses throughout the com
munity, but the physicians have done
double duty as long as they could go
and now that they are returning to
work, it is generally felt that there
will be ess cause for alarm.
