Washington, D. C (Special.) Ac
cording to a report made to the United
States Public Health Service, the epi
demic of influenza la Spain has al
ready caused an Increase In the preva
lence and deaths from pulmonary tu
berculosis. A similar association be
tween Influenza and tuberculosis was
recently made by Sir Arthur News
holme, the chief medical officer of the
Knglish public health service, lu his
analysis of the tuberculosis death rate
lu Kiiglund.
In order that the people of the Unit
ed States may profit by the experience
of other countries Surgeon General
Itupert Blue of the United States Pub
lic Health Service has Just Issued a
warning emphasizing the need of spe
rlnl precautions at the present time.
"Experience seems to Indicate," says
the Surgeon General, "that persons
whose resistance has been weakened
by an attack of Influenza are peculiar
ly susceptible to tuberculosis. With
millions of Its people recently affected
with influenza this country now of
fers conditions favoring the spread of
tuberculosis."
One Million Consumptives In the
United States.
"Then you consider this a serious
menace?" was asked. "In my opinion
It is, though I hasten to add It Is dis
tinctly one aguinst which the people
can guard. So far as one can estimate
there are at present about one million
cases of tuberculosis In the United
States. There Is unfortunately no
complete census available to show ex
actly the number of tuberculosis per
sons In each state despite the fact that
most of the states have made the dls
easo reportable. In New York city,
where reporting 1ms been In force for
many years, over 3",(KH) cases of tu
berculosis are registered with the Do
pnrtment of Health. Those familiar
with the situation believe that the ad
dition of unrecognized and unreported
cases would make the number nearer
00,000. The very careful health sur
vey conducted during the past two
years In Framlnghani, Mass., revealed
200 cases of tuberculosis In a popula
tion of approximately 15,000. If these
proportions hold true for the United
States as a whole they would Indicate
that about one In every hundred per
sons Is tuberculous. Each of these
constitutes a source of danger to be
guarded against."
What to Do.
In his statement to the public Sur
geon General Blue points out how
those who have had Influenza should
protect themselves against tuberculo
sis. "All who have recovered from In
fluenza," says the Surgeon General,
"should have their lungs carefully ex
amined by a competent physician. In
fact, It Is desirable to have several ex
aminations made a month apart. Such
examinations cannot be made through
the clothing nor can they be carried
out In two or three minutes. If tho
lungs are found to be free from tuber
culosis every effort should be made to
keep them so. This can be done by
right living, good food and plenty of
fresh air."
' Danger Signs.
The Surgeon General warned espe
cially against certain danger signs,
such as "decline" and "colds which
haii? on."
These, he explained, were often the
beginning of tuberculosis. "If you do
not get well promptly, If your cold
seems to hang on or your health and
strength decline, remember that these
; are often the early signs of tuberculo
! sis. Place yourself at once under the
! care of u competent physician. Tuber
; culosls la curable In the early stages.
; Patent Medicines Dangerous In Tuber-
culosls.
"Above all do not trust In the mH
' lending statements of unscrupulous
I patent medicine fakers. There Is no
j specific medicine for the cure of tuber
' culosls. The money spent on su- n
! medicines Is thrown away; Jt should
I be spent Instead for good food and de
! cent living."

Various methods were used by the
Germans to scatter their propaganda
among the American soldiers, accord-
lite nitAivHii aw-t f -ri- "
uld Troop A. Oregon Cavalry, who has
recovered from wounds received in
France with a regiment of field artil
lery. Corporal Anderson fends Mrs.
Dukes a sample of the German propa
gandist. He picked it up on the battle
field after a Hun airplane had flown
over the li'.es. The clumsy and fool
ish effort to corrupt the doughboys,
entitled "How to End the War,"
follows :
"Do your part to pat end to the
war! Put un end to your part of it.
Stop fighting! That's the simplest
way. You can do it, you soldiers,
just stop fighting, and the war w ill
end of its own accord. You are not
fighting for anything anyway. What
does it matter to you who owns Metz
or Strassburg. You never saw those
towns nor knew the people in them, so
what do you care about them? Kut
there is a little town back in the little
old United States you would like to
see and if you keep fighting here in
the hope of getting a look at tho.e otd
German fortresses you may never see
home again.
"The only way to stop the war is to
stop fighting. That's easy. Just quit
and slip across No Man's lana and join
the bunch that's taking it easy there
waiting to be exchanged and taken
home. There is no disgrace in that.
That bunch of American prisoners will
be welcomed just as warmly as you
who stick it out in these infernal
trenches. Get wise and get over the
top.
"There is is nothing in the glory of
keeping up the war. But think of the
increased taxes you will have to pay.
The longer the war lasts the larger
those taxes at home will be. Get wise
and get over.
"All the fine words about glory -are
tommy rot. You haven't got any busi
ness fighting in France. , You would
better be lighting the money trust - at
home instead of fighting your fellow
soldiers in grey over, here where it
doesn't really matter two sticks to you
how the war goes.
"Your country needs you, your fam
ily needs you and you need your life
for something better than being
gassed, shot at, deafened by cannon
shots and rendered unlit physically by
the miserable life you must live here.
"The tales they tell you of the
cruelties of German prison camps are
fairy tales. Of course you may not
iike being a prisoner of war but any
thing is better than this infernal place
with no hope of escape except by
being wounded after which you wiil
only be sent back for another hole in
your body.
"Wake up and stop the war! You
can if you want to Your government
does not mean to stop the war for
years to come and the years are going
to be long and dreary. YOU HKTTKK
COME OVER WHILE THE GOING
IS GOOD."
According to a letter recei ed by
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. H. Lynn from
Radio Sergeant William Bailey, of
Headquarters Co., the (J!th Artillery,
composed chiefly of Oregon and Wash
ington men, the regiment is stationed
at Lussae, F'rance. SeTgeant Bailey
says that he d ies not know just,when
they will sail.
The letter was written just before
Christmas, and Sergeant Bailey, for
merly a fellow member of the post
ollice force with Mr. Lynn, writes:
"1 can see the rush, although many
thousand miles away, and I would cer
tainly like to be back at the office for
the Christmas rush. We had three
truck loads of mail yesterday and ex
pect more tomorrow. 1 had mine last
night, and it was certainly fine to get
some sweets from home. Thev are
scarce over here, but we get 'Beau
coups' wine, fine as a substitute as
well as to keep away the blues. You
have no doubt heard how poor the
water is here. I cannot afford to spoil
my health."
Sergeant Bailey reports that a part
of the 18th Engineers is stationed near
Lust a . A member of the regiment
had just met Earl Saulding. He writes
that other members of the regiment,
Sergeant Floyd French, Sergeai.t Sex
ton and Corporal Bentley are well.
Sergeant Bailey wrote that the men
would never forget the latter's mother,
Mrs. L. M. Bentley, for all the good
things she had done for the artillery
men. Lloyd Simpson, of The Dalles, who,
after a service of a year as a member
of the United States Naval Armed
Guard, has been assigned to duty as an
instructor in radio work at the Univer
sity of Washington, was here last
week visiting his friend, r loyd Gibbs.
Mr. Simpson and Mr. Gibbs spent
much of their boyhood experimenting
with wireless outfits. The one with
hiB plant at The Dalles and the other
here, they communicated with each
other daily. Young Simpson is now a
recognized authority in his line.
Mr. Simpson was engaged in convoy
service the past year. On one of his
trips across, the convoy to which he
was attached, met with the super-subs
sent out from Germany to harass the
Atlantic coast.
"The big U-boats, however," says
Mr. Simpson, are very flow and we
soon kicked away from them."
En route to their orchard place at
Dee, by wagon and team from Spo
kane, Wash., Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Cren
shaw arrived here last F'riday'night.
Mr. Crenshaw, a chemist, on enlist
ment was assigned to duty in a gas
mask factory at Astoria, L. I. Mrs.
Crenshaw, formerly principal of the
Dee school, accompanied her husband
When calls were mane lor women
workers at the big factory, she entered
the war work.
After Mr. Crenshaw was mustered
out of service, he and his wife returned
to Spokane for a visit with his parents,
who presented the couple with a valu
able team and wazon. the outfit was
driven here overland.
"We've had a strenuous time the
oast three nights. said Mrs. Cren
shaw Saturday. "The influenza ban is
very strict in Klickitat county, and
if one enters a hotel or stops with a
family, he must remain three days be
fore stopping at any other place. We
could not afford to linger so long, and
therefore we slept in the open for
three nights."
In a letter to his Barents, Mr. and
Mrs. W. E. Slutz, Sgt. Earl Slutz, re
lates interesting experiences of the
' 157th Aero Squadron just before the
; armistice was signed. While the equad
ron was still in training and never had
i reached the front, it was subjected to
frequent bombardment from the Hun
planes. Sergeant Slutz sent his par
ents a photograph of a natural cavern
j in which he and his comrades took ref
' uge from falling bombs. If remarks
points of the Mid-Columbia.
"We Oregoniar.s feel perfectly at
home over here," writes Sergeant
Slutz, "for if anything it rains more in
France than at home."
Mr. and Mrs. Slutz have two other
sons, Ielbert and Samuel, and a son-in-law.
Eugene Lattisaw. in F'rance.
"We celebrated for a week in Lon
don," writes Sergeant Billy Moran,
with the Canadian forces, to his friend,
Edward Thornton. "Everybody just
went crazy when they once got started.
I caught myself dancing on the Strand
w ith generals, and slapping them on
the back. 1 never would have con
descended to have done this before the
war, and the generals, probably, would
have been of like mind. But on those
great nights fallowing the news of
peace every man was as good as the '
next one." j
Sergeant Moran says he experts to
get back home within a month. He
inquires about the influenza.
"How's the 'Flu'? 1 hope it has left
the country by now. I don't think a
little thing like that could kill me
after a 'nine point two' failed."
F'our years of the war without a
scratch, is the record of Capt. Alex
I.eRoux, of the French army and a son
of Mr. and Mrs. A. LeRoux, pioneer
homesteaders of Mt. Hood who are
spending the winter in the city. Capt.
LeRuox was in the first and the last
battles of the Marne.
In a letter just received by his par
ents, he expresses the opinion that
Marshal Foch will have to send troops
into Germany to force the Boche to
turn over certain materials that they
should deliver under the terms of the
armistice.
After eleven weeks of strenuous
training at United States School of
Military Aeronautics at Berkeley, Cal
if., Sergeant Malcolm Button, son of
Mr. and Mrs. F. II. Button, has passed
his examinations with honors and has
received an award of flying cadetship.
Cadet Button has been ordered to Riv
erside, California, where he w ill attend
a flying school.
Cadet Button, one of the first Hood
River boys to enlist in the aviation
corps, until he was designated to
attend the Berkeley school, was en
gaged at Kelley F'ield, Texas, in in
structing aero squadrons for overseas
service. Allyn Button, a brother,
served overseas with the 05th Ar
tillery. Corporal Stewart Kimball, member
of a machine gun company of the 91st,
ai rived Wednesday night of last week
from Camp Lewi. The young man,
here on furlough, walks with a limp as
the result of wounds sustained in the
battle of Argonne forest. Bursting
shrapnel mangled the ligaments of an
ankle. Not a man of the machine gun
company escaped wounds.
Fordham B. Kimball, brother of the
young blesse, was attending a French
artillery school for officers when the
armistice was signed. He remains in
France.
Capt. Geo. R. Wilbur, who repre
sented Hood River and Wasco counties
in the 2!Uh session of the legislature,
following his discharge, has returned
to Hood River to resume his practice
of law. Capt. Wilbur, commanding
officer of 12th Company Oregon Coast
Artillery when the unit, composed of
Hood River and Portland men, was
mobilized on July 25, 1917, was at an
Atlantic port of embarkation, just
ready to sail with a regiment of Coast
Artillery, when news of the armistice
came.
In a letter to his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. F. H. Blagg, of the West Side,
Henry Blagg, who announces his pro
motion to first sergeantcy, says he was
called from Paris, while on leave, to
prepare to return home. Mr. Blagg,
member of the 30th Engineers, the gas
and flame unit, says the regiment is
still held, however, and no one seems
to be definite about the preparation for
America.
In his letter he reports that Joe M.
Johnson and Horace Skinner, two other
Hood River boys with the BtOh regi
ment, are well.
Lowell Nickelsen, not yet 19 years
old, following service aboard a sub
marine chaser, in a letter to his
father, C. D. Nickelsen, states that
he has been placed in charge of the
radio station at the Cape May, N. J
submarine and torpedo boat base. The
young radio man, a student of the
Hood River high school, was aboard a
subchaser engaged in patrolling the
Atlantic coast when the Hun U-boats
made a raid last fall.
Mrs. J. H. Tompkins has received a
etter from her son, James Arthur
Tompkins, member of the Naval Avia
tion Service, who has just returned to
New York City from England, where
he was stationed at an American naval
base, announcing that he expects to
be mustered out soon. A brother, Jo
seph Ihurlow Tompkins, is in quaran
tine at the Presidio, San rrancisco, as
a result of the influenza epidemic.
Ralph B. Sherrieb, son of Mr. and
Mrs. F. C. Sherrieb, pioneers of the
Barrett district, has arrived in New
York Citv from France, where he was
in service with the 439th Aero Squad
ron. Mr. Sherrieb's parents expect
him to be mustered out of the service
within the next few weeks. The young
man enlisted at Vancouver, Wash., in
the spring of 1917.
Mrs. Murray's Home Bums
The home of Mrs. Nancy J. Murray,
mother of Mrs. W. G. Weber, of this
city, was burned at The Dalles week
before last. Mrs. Murray lost all of
her household goods, clothing, in fact
everything but the night clothes she
wore. Even her spectacels were lost.
She suffered painful burns in leaving
the burning house.
This is the third time Mrs. Murray
has lost her home by fire. A regret
able feature was that the building and
contents were uninsured.
