The medical correspondent of the
London Times writes that there seems
to be reasonable ground to believe
that six million persons throughout
the world have died of influenza anti
pneumonia. On this estimate the
plague is five times more deadly than
the war, which, it is estimated, has
caused the death of twenty million
persons in four and a half years.
Never since the “black death'’ has such
a plague swept the earth. The rav
ages of this epidemic in our own
country have been awful. How much
worse they might have been had the
relief agencies, of which the Red
Cross was a striking example, not had
splendid organizations to throw into
the field.

Members of Alaska Expedition Report
With the arrival this week on the
steamship Brutus of Lieutenant George
D. Krauss of the medical reserve
corps, accompanied by Miss Nelson
and Miss Oaks, two Red Cross nurses,
the last of the expedition to Alaska
sent by this division to combat the
influenza has returned to Seattle.
Lieutenant Krauss reports that in
fluenza has now been entirely wiped
out of the territory, but that before
the expedition arrived there were
many deaths owing to improper care.
“The majority of the deaths occurred
among the natives, a great many of
whom are tubercular, and therefore
less able to resist the disease,” stated
Lieutenant Krauss. "Also many of
them have intermarried with Russians,
who believe in what they call the
‘snow cure'—they take a hot bath and
then roll in the snow, which, of course,
means almost certain death, as con
gestion of the lungs immediately sets
in. Outside of these cases, however,
they responded exceedingly well to
treatment.”
Lieutenant Krauss further stated
that the success' in treating natives
was largely due to the very efficient
care and attention given by Miss Oaks
and Miss Nelson, both registered
nurses enlisted in the American Red
Cross, who very ably assisted in all
of the work.—Front the Red Cross
Bulletin.

Be glad you don’t live in Turkey.
A Red Cross man writes that eggs in
Constantinople are 30 cents apiece.
They’re not passed by the censor,
either. Bread is SO cents a loaf, milk
90 cents a pint, butter $4 a pound and
sugar $2 a pound. Imagine feeding a
flock of wives at those prices! Two
army officers, says the Red Cross
man. stopped over night at a hotel,
and had to pay $295 for lodging, break
fast and dinner.

“The war has been a great training
school. Its lessons have been two
fold with respect to the relief side
of the equation. Such wonders as
have been accomplished in the name
of mercy, while • frightfulness was
wreaking its vengeance on the earth,
have shown the unlimited possibili
ties of humanitarian effort, along
whatever line directed. That is one
lesson. The other is the duty of man
kind to give more systematic atten
tion than ever before to the welfare
of its fellows.”

Evidence that the activity of the
American Red Cross in France is only
slightly curtailed by the cessation of
in.. :H
hostilities came this week with the
announcement from national head
quarters that the war council has ar
ranged for immediate shipment to that
country of textiles valued at $4,532,
880, to meet the acute need for wear
ing apparel among the thousands of
people who are making a brave effort
to re-establish themselves in recov
ered areas in Europe. France is now
the American Red Cross supply base
for Europe. The announcement stated
that the American Red Cross had 6,007
workers in France on February 1, and
indications werp that a great major
ity would be kept there for some time.
Millions of Yards Available
This action of the American Red
Cross' will make available for those in
need in many parts of Europe 13,500,
000 yards of materials of the kind
commonly used in the manufacture of
refugee garments, which is to be di
vided as follows: Outing flannel,
6.000,000 yards; unbleached muslin,
2.500.000 yards; twilled jeans, 1,400.
000; black sateen, 1,100,000 yards;
bath-robing, 500,000 yards; dress
goods and suiting, 500,000 yards; can
ton flannel, 500,000 yards; gingham,
500.000 yards; bleached muslin, 500,
000 yards. This is one of the largest
items of relief ever authorized by the
American Red Cross. The material
will be fashioned into clothing
by peopje who are to receive it and
is in addition to a great quantity of
refugee garments turned out in the
American Red Cross work-rooms of
this country and forwarded overseas.
Wearing Apparel Scarce
In that, part of Europe laid bare by
the Germans the scarcest article is
material that might be made into
wearing apparel. Thousands of refu
gees who have been returning to na
tive places in war-swept areas and
who are endeavoring to rebuild their
homes and get a fresh start are for
the most part in need of clothing, and
this shipment from America will help
meet this need.
Garments and cloth will be distrib
uted by the American Red Cross and
it is planned to establish relief depots
in the liberated territories of Lille,
Amiens, Laon, Mecieres, Cralons,
and Verdun, warehouses at these
places being stocked with supplies to
meet emergency needs of the return
ing civilian refugees. The territory
has been divided into districts, each
district in charge of an American Red
Cross staff and resident who knows
the people of the district and has their
confidence.

Palermo, Sicily.—Back to America!
This is the cry of hundreds of soldiers
of different nationalities who have
been arriving here after four years of
fighting for their native lands.
Five hundred Serbians, every one a
naturalized citizen of the United
States, passed through here a few
days ago, their one desire being to
get back to America as quickly as
possible. In the party was a negro
volunteer, u big, brbad-shouldered,
smiling darky, who apparently was
the pet of the outfit. To American
Red Cross workers the negro asserted
that he would go back to the United
States it he had to swim the entire
distance.

FOR FILM FANS
Tonight and tomorrow, Dustin
Farnum in the melodrama “Durand of
the Bad Lands.” This picture has
heaps of action all through and deals
with the Mexican trouble on the bor
der. With this picture will be shown
the Mack Sennett two-reel comedy,
“11 is Hidden Purpose.”
On Friday and Saturday evening
Ann Pennington in the comedy drama,
"The Rainbow Princess.” You will
sure enjoy this picture.
On Sunday only, Charles Ray in the
scream baseball story, "The Pinch
Hitter." As a rube, Charles Kay is in
a class by himself. This is not a slap
trick, but good humor and pathos in
termixed, with an interesting story.
Monday and Tuesday, special Art
craft production, Gerald Farrar in the
wonderful story “The Woman God
Forgot.” Everyone remembers Ger
aldine Farrar in "Joan the Woman.”
While this is a different type of pict
ure in plot it is just as wonderful in
stage settings and magnificent effects.
As a whole this picture can be more
appropriately compared with Cleo
patra, as it is based on the history of
the ancient Astecs.
