APATHY .NOTICEABLE. BERLIN, Nov. 21. After a week of -revolution, durihg":whlch time there has been a good deal of severe fighting, Berlin streets today present about the usual appearance -of any Saturday during the war period.

The news that the United States will send relief to the distressed peoples of Germany has temporally, at least, eclipsed all curiosity over the politi cal drama being enacted. i DUTCH VIOLATE NEUTRALITY.

Nuff Ced. . , TO TAKE DUE PRECAUTION Asserting that the influenza epi demic is subsiding, but that the dan ger is not yet passed. Superintendent J. A. Churchill, Is urging the'teach eiis over the state to take particular precaution where there is any indi cation of disease in the chiMI In the school room. The State Board of Health, conferring with the state su perintendent, requests that all teach ers of this state be on .the lookout for all pupils who evidence any Indi cation of the Influenza and promptly exclude them from classes until they can furnish: a medical certificate of health. The State Health Board fur ther says that the signs of influenza are varied and are probably too com plex for a teacher to go Into at any great length, since physicians them selves are frequently at fault In diag nosing It. The broad general plan that all pupils who are manifestly below par In health, should be a guide inas much as such a child has no business is id'ue to a contagion or otherwise, says Superintendent Churchill. Su perintendent Churchill adds' that . it' may not be possible for teachers in some rural communities to have a child present a medical, certificate, but where this is not possible, the teacher should not permit the pupil to remain in school so long as there are any symptoms of illness. Accord ing to latest reports In this city, the attendance is very satisfactory, con siderably under the average of children being . absent because ol sickness of any kind. DECREE DIVORCE GRANTED.
