INFLUENZA IN EUROPE
In England, as. In this country,
there is complaint of slowness on
the part of the responsible authori
ties in taking precautionary measures
against he influenza, and the tardy
publication by the local government
ooara ot Instructions and advice
leads the London Times to remark
that It would have been better to lock
'the stable door before the escape ot
j the horse. Perhaps vlgllunce was
.somewhat relaxed because Englund
was visiiea last summer by a rela
tively mild form of the epidemic,!
uiuku una mai iu years ago. , "The
new inriuenza," the Manchester1
Guardian calls the present visitation
and speaks of the great number of j
pneumonia cases as making it al
most a distinct disease. The samo Is
true in Ilerlln. wliora tl, .........
jhas been raised as by a New York
I doctor, whether the second epidemic

is naving us second attack, and the
disease Is now so prevalent In Europe
that it will obvlsously be necessary
for a considerable time to take all
possible precautions In this country
