Freighter Develops Encjins Trouble

By FRAZIER HUNT
(In the Cliicaxo Tribune.)
An American Naval ISase in France.
A lad from the U. S. S. Destroyer
C52 hud just finished narrating how
close they had tome to netting a kud
murlne on the lust trip when they had
brought In a big convoy of troopers.
"Some boat she is," he remurkod
offhand. "We did seven thousand
knots last month and In three sub
fights. Say, what was those funny
steel drums you had piled on the deck
of your old cargo ship when you come
In yesterday?"
A lad from the Atlantic freight ferry
boat turned to the destroyer gob.
"Those steel drums you asked about
didn't have nothing at all In thera ex
cept about a million gallons of the
most dangerous poison gas ever made.
Can you Imagine what would happen
If a torpedo or even a shell had hit
', one of those tanks?"
This ship, which we shall call the
Terrance, left New York us part of a
convoy of 15 stores ships.
Cargo of Death.
On this trip It was carrying several
thousand steel drums of poison gus
that the army needed budly. It was
a dangerous cargo. Any explosion on
board would tear open these drums of
concentrated gas and In ten seconds
choke the crew to deuth. The only
hope would be to use respirators, bo
a hundred gus masks were borrowed
from the army and the executive offi
cer of the ship called all hands for In
structions three tlme a duy.
The first ten days of the trip were
uneventful. Then the Torrance's en
gines began acting badly. It could not
make the required ten knots and slow
ly It fell behind. There were not suffi
cient convoying destroyers to have one
remain behind, so all that stood be
tween the Terrunce's drums of death
and a German submarine was the for
and aft guns.
Finally, at six o'clock one evening,
the gas mask drill Just had ended
when the lookout In the crow's nest
shouted down that a submarine was
coming to the surface on the port side,
some 0,O(X) yards astern. And here was
the Terrance with crippled engines
hobbling along six or seven knots an '
hour, with the convoy 20 miles ahead.
"Open fire with the stern gun. Cull
general quarters. Send S. (). 8. to the
convoy. Send word to the chief en
gineer," were four orders the skipper
on the bridge gave first.
Through bl.s binoculars he could see
the submarine coming to the surface.
K. m now the Terranee's stern gun
! peppering away shots, but falling
tli .rt of the mark by l,r,(K) yards. j

TWO BROTHERS
Talk of Mother Before Death:
Ends Suffering.
Fate Singles Dost-Liksd l.tsn of D
Company to Ee Struck fcy Sarr.e Ger
man MissHe Were Good Pals, Who
Always Did a Little More Than
Their Share of the WorkDie Side
by Side.
In a tiny village of Lorraine where a
regiment of "doughboys" were resting
after a long stretch of time In the
trenches, a German shell found a mark
in two brothers. They were rushed
to the nearest hospital, mortally
wounded, writes Frank J. Taylor, Unit
ed Press correspondent.
They were just regular, hard-fighting
"doughboys," liked by all of the
men In D company because they were
"good pals who always did a little
more than their share of the work."
Every man in the company admired
the brothers because he had seen
them behave bravely when It was hard
to be brave.
Out of all the men in D company It
was hard to see why fate had singled
these two to be struck by one German
shell. Fate makes no explanations, so
the doctors in the hospital operated
skillfully und quickly on the brothers
and placed them In beds, side by side.
In a ward full of wounded.
For a time both men lay there hov
ering between life and death, und there
was uncertainty whether or not they
would ever gain consciousness.
Regains His Senses.
Finally one of them stirred slightly,
opened his eyes and gradually came to
bis senses. A motherly nurse bent
over him and eased his pain as much
as possible. Then she whispered to
hltn that his brother was on the next
cot, but still unconscious.
The conscious brother looked dazed,
but gradually an enlightened look came
Into bis eyes as he recollected what
happened In the last three hours. He
looked across to the next cot, faintly
reached his arm toward bis brother
and whispered:
"Joe, how are you T
The other brother stirred slightly,
and gradually regained his senses. The
nurse gently eased him, as be looked
around with a puzzled look, and finally
told him :
"Here's your brother on the next
cot."
Tho second brother looked over with
pained amazement.
"What are you In bed for, George?
Are you hurt, too?"
"Yes, Joe; they say the same shell
got us both."
"Are you hurt badly, George?"
"I think so, Joe; I feel awful weak.
How are you? Does It hurt you a lot,
boy?"
"I don't know ns It does. I'm weak,
to i. Hut there's another feeling I cun't

"What g it. Joe?"
"I ilimno, George. Hut. remember

"Wo were on our way to mass when
It hit lis. Joe. Muyhe that's why you

can hear her now, too, Joe."
"I wish the wen here, don't you."
"I shot:!-! uy so, Joe. Maybe the

Some things are so simple
that they have to be explained
again and again. When things
are obvious, people keep looking
for mysteries behind them.
So it is with the packing bus
iness. The mere size of Swift
& Company confuses many.
Because their imaginations are
not geared up to scale, they be
lieve there must be magic in it
somewhere some weird power.
Swift & Company is just like any
other manufacturing business run by
human beings like yourself; it takes in
raw material on the one hand and turns
out a finished product on the other.
Swift & Company keeps down the
"spread," or the expense absorbed be
tween raw and finished material, to as
low a figure as possible. (If it didn't
it would be put out of business by
others who do.)
How much Swift & Company pays
for the raw material, and how much
it gets for the finished product, depends
upon conditions which Swift &
Company does not control.
It depends entirely upon how much
people want the finished product, and
how much raw material there is avail
able to make it from.
The profits of Swift & Company
amount to less than one cent per pound
on all meats and by-products less than
one-fourth of a cent on beef.

LATEST WOr.D C'A SUBJECT.
Epidemic Probably Not Spanish In
Origin Germ Still Unknown Peo
ple Should Guard Against "Droplet
' Infection" Surgeon General Blue
Makes Authoritative Statement.
Wnshlngton, D. C (Special.) Al
though King Alplionso of Spain was
one of tbe victims of the Influenza epi
demic In 1803 and again this summer,
Spanish authorities repudiate any
claim to Intlueuza as a "Spanish" dis
ease. If tbe people of this country do
not take care the epidemic will be
come so widespread throughout tbe
United Statea that soon we shall bear
tbe disease called "American" Influ
enza. In response to a request for definite
Information concerning Spanish Influ
enza, Surgeon General Rupert Blue of
the D. S. Public Health Service has
authorized the following official Inter
view :
What Is Spanish Influenza? la It
something new? Does It come from
Spain?
"The disease now occurring In this
country and called 'Spanish Influen
za' resembles a very contagious kind
of 'cold' accompanied by fever, pains
Coughs and Sneezes
Spread Diseases
As Dong
as Mon Cm Shells
tn the head, ayes, ears, back or other
parts of the body and feeling of se
vere sickness. In most of the casea the
symptoms disappear after three or four
days, the patient then rapidly recover
ing. Some of the patients, however,
develop pneumonia, or Inflammation
of the ear, or meningitis, and many of
these complicated cases die. Whether
this so-called 'Spanish' Influenza Is
Identical with the epidemics of Influen
ts of earlier years Is not yet known.
"Epidemics of Influenza have visited
this country since 1C47. It Is Interest
Ins to know Hint this first epidemic
wns brought here from Valenclu,
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics of the dis
ease. In 1SSI) nnil 1S90 an epidemic
of Influenza, starting somewhere In the
Orient, spread first to Uussln anil
thence over practically tho entire civ
ilized world. Three years Inter thert
win another flare-up of the disease.
Kuth times the epidemic spread wide
ly over the Cnlted States.
"Although the present epidemic Is
called 'Spanish Influenza,' there Is no
reason to believe that It originated In
Simln. Some writers who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
dime from the Orient and they call at
tention lo the fnct that tho Gernmns
mention the disease as occurring alons
tlte eastern front In the summer am!
fall of II7."
Mow can "8panlsh Influenza" be rec
centred? "Tln-re In as yet no certain way In

the symptoms ss already drsrrltwd,

1.1 the physician la remmltlng 'Spaa
Ua lufluetiM,' fur It Us to feu4
that In this disease the number of
white corpuscles shows, little or no In
crease above the normal. It Is possi
ble that the laboratory Investigations
now being made through the National
Research Council and the United
States Hygienic Laboratory will fut
nish a more certain way In which Indi
vidual cases of this disease can be
recognized."
What is the course of the disease?
Do people die of it?
"Ordinarily, the fever lasts from
three to four days and the patient re
covers. It u t while the proportion of
(lint lis In the present epidemic hns-
fenerniiy tieen low. In some places tli
nuuirean tins neen severe and deatiiV
have been numerous. When death oc
curs it is usually the result of a com
plication.
What causes the disaase and how Is
it spread?
"Bacteriologists who have studied In
fluenza epidemics lu the past have
found In many of the cases a very
small rod-shaped germ called, after its
discoverer, Pfelffer's bacillus. In other
cases of apparently the same bind of
disease there were found pneumococcl,
the germs of lobar pneumonia. Still
others have been caused by strepto
cocci, and by others germs with long
names.
"No matter what particular kind of
germ causes the epidemic, It Is now
believed that Influenza Is always
spread from person to person, the
, germs being carried with the air along
with the very smoll droplets of mucus,
expelled by coughing or sneezing,
forceful talking, and the like by one
who already has the germs of the dis.
ease. They may also be carried abou
In the air In the form of dust coming
from dried mucus, from coughing and
sneezing, or from careless people who
spit on the floor and on the sidewalk.
As In most other catching diseases, a
person who has only a mild attack of
the disease himself may give a very
severe attack to others."
What should be done by those who
catch the disease?
"It is very Important that every per
son who becomes sick with Influenza
should go home at once and go to bed.
This will help beep away dangerous
complications and will, at the same
time, keep the patient from scattering
the dlseaae far and wide. It Is highly
desirable that no one be allowed to
sleep In tbe same room with tbe pa
tient In fact, no one but the nurse
should be allowed In the room.
"If there la cough and sputum or
running of the eyes and nose, car
should be taken that all such dis
charges art collected on bits of gauze
or rag or paper napkins and burned.
If tbe patient complains of fever and
headache, be should be given water to
drink, a cold compress to the forehead
and a light sponge. Only such medi
cine should be given as la prescribed
by the doctor. It Is foolish to ask tbe
druggist to prescribe and may be dan
gerous to take the so-called 'safe, sure
and harmless' remedies advertised by
patent medicine manufacturers.
"If the patient Is so situated that be
can be attended only by some one who
must nlso look after others In the fam
ily. It Is advisable that such attendant
wear a wrapper, apron or gown over
the ordinary house clothes while In the
sick room and slip this on when leov
Ing to look after the others.
"Nurses and attendants will do well
to guard agnlnst breathing In danger
ous disease germs by wearing a simple
fold of gauze or mask while near tbe
patient"
Will a person who has hid Influenza
before catch the disease again?
"It Is well known that an attack of
measles or scarlet fever or smallpox
usually protects a person against an
other attuck of the same disease. This
appears not to be true of 'Spanish in
fluenza.' According to newspaper re
