THE MYSTERY PEST
Onco more the more or less ac
cepted theories concerning the pres
ent epidemic havo received cnother
rude Jolt by the anounccment at phy
sicians in the government health ser
vice at San Francisco having pur
posely exposed fifty men of the naval
service by 'having them sleep with
"flu patients and attending them
Not one of the' fifty thus piposed con
tracted the disease.
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

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

business and try to coax into line a
few dozen recalcitrants who have
their' signboards hung out In Spring

and help him in every possible way
to put over the most laudable work
any public-spirited citizen ever

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

where amusement' lovers can while

fee'ing the necessity of traveling to
another burg- for entertainment that

Any road will lead to success that

.His Pedigree
canine strange had Just been
brought
Into the dealer's store
Where animals are sold and bought
From every clime and shore;
His coat was shaggy and unkempt,
Compared to others there,
Ab though for months he'd been ex
empt
From ordinary care.
The other animals inside,
With yard-long pedigrees,
Shrank" quickly from him in their
pride
They feared that he had fleas!
Rut suddenly their hauteur fled;
Transfixed, each one recants,
For they had spied his tag, which
read,
"A Red Cross Dog from France"!
The Secretary of the Treasury has
just placed an additional sum of
One Hundred Million Dollars to the
credit of Italy, making the total of
the American loans to that country
for war expenses, $1,310,000,000 and
