C.— (Special.)—Ac cording to a report made to the United States Public Health Service, the epi demic of Influenza in Spain has al ready caused an Increase In the preva lence and deaths from pulmonary tu berculosis. A similar association be tween Influenza and tuberculosis was recently made by Sir Arthur News- holme, the chief medical officer o f the English public health service, in his analysis of the tuberculosis death rate in England. In order that the people of the Unit ed States may profit by the experience o f other countries Surgeon General Ilupert Blue of the United States Pub-1 lie Health Service has just issued a warning emphasizing the need of spe cial 'precautions at the present time. “ Experience seems to Indicate,” says the Surgeon General, ‘‘that persons whose resistance has been weakened by an attack of Influenza are peculiar ly susceptible to tuberculosis. With millions of Its people recently affected with Influenza this country now of fers conditions favoring the spread of tuberculosis.” HE following message has been telegraphed by the T War Council of the American Red Cross to each one of the 3,857 chapters: “ On February 10th, last year, nearly six weeks be* fore the United States declared war, National Red Cross Headquarters advised its chapters to prepare for war. That which has followed in the record of the Red Cross in helping to win this war and to relieve the suffering growing out of it, constitutes something of which every American citizen has a right to be proud. Every Ameri can Red Cross worker must feel a sense of gratitude in having had a share in it all. “ The moment is now come to prepare for peace. Until peace is really here and our soldiers home there can be no relaxation in any Red Cross effort incident to active hostilities. “ But even with peace, let no one suppose that the work of the Red Cross is finished. Millions of American boys are still under arms. Thousands of them are sick and wounded. Owing to the shortage in shipping, it may take a year or more to bring our boys home from France. But whatever the time, our protecting arms must be about them and their families over the whole period which must elapse before the normal life of peace can be re sumed. “ Our soldiers and sailors are enlisted until the Com- mander-in-Chief tells them there is no more work for them to do in the war. Let every Red Cross member and worker— and this means both men and women— show our returning soldiers and sailors that to care for their health, welfare and happiness we are enlisted for no less period than they are. “ The cessation of war will reveal a picture of misery such as the world has "never seen before, especially in the many countries which cannot help themselves. The American people will expect the Red Cross to continue to act as their agent in repairing broken spirits and broken bodies. Peace terms and peace conditions will determine how we may best minister to the vast stricken areas which have been harrowed by war, and for this great act of mercy the heart and spirit of the American people must continue to be mobilized through the Amer ican Red Cross. “ On behalf of the War Council, we accordingly ask each- member of our splendid body of workers through out the land to bear in mind the solemn obligation which rests upon each one to ‘carry on-' We cannot abate one instant in our efforts or in our spirits. There will be abundance of work to do, and specific advices will be given, but even at the moment of peace let no Red Cross worker falter. “ Our spirits must now call us to show that not the roar of cannon or the blood of our own alone directs our activities, but that a great people will continue to respond greatly and freely to its obligations and opportunity to serve.” WHEREAS: Woodrow Wilson,Presi dent o f the United States and Presi dent o f the American Red Cross, has I summoned every citizen o f this Country j to the comradeship o f UNIVERSAL ! MEMBERSHIP IN THE RED CROSS, AND WHEREAS: Membership in the American Red Cross is an evidence j o f loyalty, ( AND WHEREAS: The American Red Cros is on the eve o f the greatest year’s work in its history, supplying aid and material encouragement to American soldiers on duty in France, Russia, Siberia and in this country; taking care o f the dependents o f soli- iers in this Country by means o f Home Service; aiding in the reconstruction of Europe by assisting the repatriated citizens; assisting returned soldiers to positions ¡providing help and encourage ment to wounded soldiers, and in other ways assisting the World to recover from the results o f the War, ' AND WHEREAS: It is desired that every adult citizen become a member of the American Red Cross that all may feel they have a living part in the work of the Society, NOW THEREFORE. I. JAMES F.
