This would seem to demonstrate that the disease is not infectious al though highly contagious. Contrary tq the erroneous belief there is a vast difference between an infectious disease and a contagious one. A contagious disease is not nec essarily infectious from one person to another, while an infectious disease may be virulently' infectious and still net be classed as contagious. Typhoid fever is rarely infectious, yet a whole community can be suffer ing irom a contagion of it at the same time. That is, a contagion arising from local causes such as the drinking of impure water, or being bitten by In sects carrying typhoid germs. The demonstration of the govern ment would seem to explode the the ory that Influenza Is a "crowd" dfs ease insofar .that It is contagious from one to another. It seems to strength en the growing theory that it is contagious from other natural causes, but few have had the temerity to de- j clare what the "causes" might be. This idea is given added weight when we review the cases that have oc curred in isolatde spots, where Infec tion from contact with other persons was impossible. Climatic conditions nave little to do with the spread or the eradication of the disease. In July, 1918, the disease was most virulent in Austria, Ger- mahyand ft-ily. In India's tropic clime ive'r 300,000 people have succumbed o the disease. In the Arctics the icourge has claimed among the Es lulmos Its vlcflms by thousands. By eliminating this and deducing hat we discover that the contagion Is either arising from the ground or infests the air and claims as its vic tim's those who are not so constituted as to- resist it. Apparently more than ork tyre of germ conveys it as thosel who are immune from one type for a long time may fall prey Anally to whatever tvve of bacilli that refuses to be dislodged by the person who resisted successfully various other types. One Eastern scientist declares that the contagion has been germinated by either the infusion of poisonous gases in ' the air, the concussion pro ducedv by high explosive shells, all engendered by the great war, or .the possible'impregnatlon of the air from the decomposition of unburied bodies. While all this is hut theory It seems quite tenable. It has long been estab lished that the earth's air currents can become inoculated and conveyed liithor and thither as easily as the water In a river current on become polluted. If any of the theories ad vanced by the scientist are true, the world war Is far from being ended. We must still pay. THE FUTURE OF PALESTINE A few days ago 400 delegates from all sections of the country, and rep resenting more than 3,000,000 Ameri can Jews, assembled at Philadelphia for the second session of the Ameri can Jewish Congress. The delegates Wire unusually enthusiastic because 9f tho present bright prospects for the reestablishmcnt of a Jewish nation In Palestine- and the realization of the aspirations of the Jewish people throughout tho world during the last 2,000 years for a homeland of their own, That tholr hopes in this respect aro well founded seems evident from the fact that the project has already been approved by France, Italy, Serbia and al60 by our own' President, and more over tho attitude of the delegates to the peace conference Is reported to bo, almost without .exception, favor able to the plan. "SAFE FOR AUTOCRACY" - Postmnstor-Gonoral Burleson could not be more solicitous of the welfare of the phono companies If ho owned half tho stock lu thorn and had been promised tho other half If ho used his oxocutlvo powor to put over the new toll rates successfully. Tho country has novor witnessed a moro arbitrary and arrogant over riding of states' rights by fodoral po wor, under tho thin guise of military necessity, than has been furnished by Burloson since tho administration placed control of wlro service In tho hands of tho postofflco department, And tho service, always mediocre, undor corporato control, has been In finitely worso undor fedoral admlnls t ration. A conTtnunication to a Eugeno news paper cpmplalns of freshmen who, aro wearing green "frosh" caps with tho S. army uniform in plnco of the regulation scrvlco hat. Tho complaint is a just one. The uniform of a U. S. soldier should never be ridiculed by being worn with a silly llttlo green cap or a.ny other absurd headgoan Tho faculty of the Unlvorslty of Ore gon can show Its patriotism by show ing its' authority to forbid tho prac tice. If its authority has been sup planted by college traditions and cus toms, it Is pretty near time to get it out of cold storage and assert Its voice when anything arises that re flects discredit upon the college Up per classmen will have also earned the right to tho measuro of dignity that should attach to upper classmen by seeing that no Indignity belittles a uniform that clothes the best men in America. Without no blare of trumpets, banquets or out-of-town visitors, it is about time for Springfield business Interests to bestir themselves and do something for Springfield. Is thero ONE public spirited man in this town who is idealist enouch who has ini tiative enough-who is broad enough who has haekhone nmirh tn I spend a half day away from his own business and try to coax into line a few dozen recalcitrants who have their' signboards hung out In Spring field? If there is, the editor of this paper "wants to meet him, talk to him, and help him in every possible way to put over the most laudable work any public-spirited citizen ever shouldered the burden of. 'Show the rest of them that you are not a dead one! Out of the few empty buildings in the heart of town, one remodeled for a theatre would be a good investment for the man that owns it. Properly located and properly managed, the lermanency of its Income would be sssured. Asde from It being a Judic ious Investment, civic pride demands that a city as big as SprinRfleld be equippeu witn one good uieatre, where amusement' lovers can while awiy a few hours In the evening con veniently and comfortably, without fee'ing the necessity of traveling to another burg- for entertainment that could well be provided In their own home town.
