Shoulil Have a Forty-foot Channel anil
the Greatest Naval Station
ALL thnt is needed to double nnd
'treble the business of this port nnd
to make the LcaRUe Island Navy Yard
the Ricatcst nnval station on this hemi
sphere is the dctct mined purpose of the
citizens of Philadelphia.
The natural advantages that this port
offers nre appreciated by shipping men.
Refoi-e tho war began Hog Island had
been selected by a great shipping cor
poration ns the .site for a big system of
docks nnd railroad terminals, after look
ing over tlio whole Atlantic seaboard for
tho most favorable location. The neces
sities of tho war have compelled the
building of tho Hog Island plant not
only un a terminal, but as n shipyard.
We have its facilities now to supplement
those which tho city itself is providing.
Tho Government has set aside $10,000,000
for building tlrydocks here to accommo
date the ships that will enter the port.
Kvety naval strategist who has ex
pressed himself on tho subject has agreed
thnt the League Island Navy Yard is
nios4- admirably located for the develop
ment into the big naval base of the
nation on the Atlantic. It is far enough
from tho sea to be safe from attack and
it is within the limit1? of a city from
which all the labor necessary can bo
drawn.
Rear Admiial Hughes, the new com
mandant at thp yard, calls tho attention
of tho city In the great future which
awaits it. His belief in the advantages
of League' Island is to be expected, be
cause he is a naval expert. What is
more interesting is his belief in the com
mercial future of the city. Ho insists
that a thirty-fivo-foot channel U not deep
enough, but that a forty-foot channel
should he demanded by tho business men
because it is needed to accommodate the
biggest s-hips. Ho is u-ging us to go to
Washington and insist on the necessary
appropriafion to secure that depth of
water from Vrankford to the sea.
Every outsider who has studied the
subject agrees on what should bo done
and on what can bo done if we will do
our part. This newspaper is persuaded
that the business men of the city arc
determined to remove tho blight from
which the port has been suffering for
years. Arrangements have already been
made for a campaign in favor of the
forty-foot channel and a meeting of the
joint committees for tho development of
tho pc.it is to bo held next week to per
fect the details.
Tiicrc never was a more opportune
moment for carrying such an enterprise
to a successful conclusion than the pres
ent. The Government is in sympathy
with the project, for it is committed to
the Hog Island teiminal, which cannot
be used to its full capacity without im
proving the liver channel.
Philadelphia has had an object lesson
in the way to do big things in a big way.
It has been exposed to the contagion of
the large view and it is not immune.
Indeed, it has already become infected.
Unless all signs fail, when peace comes
we shall bo found with a well-organized
program for growth, based on the con
viction that the nation needs another
great port on the Atlantic, not to rival
the port of Now York, but to accommo
date tho business which New York is not
big enough to take care of. As the
interior of the country develops, the
facilities for Handling its exp9rts and
imports must develop along with it,
unless there is to bo stagnation. Our
determination to serve the country and
thus to benefit ourselves is the force
which will finally overcome all difficulties
and bring nbout a utilization of our un
rivaled fresh-water haibor by tho ship
ping of the world,
,Wc have confidence in tho outcome
because we have confidence in the energy
arid initiative of Philadelphia.

Cnnlrnetor
t'nrre-dponilen) nil Interim for Hweet Ciller
EVIDHNTIoY Impotinnt changes nre to
bo expected In German), for I was
hurriedly summoned to Ucrlln recently by
Prince Mux to undertake the task of clean
ing some important desks for him. It
appears that when lie and Doctor Solf
took charge of affairs lately they found
the lolltops that hnd been used by the
cabinet and tho general staff In a de
plorable state of confusion. After some
struggling they confessed themselves tin
nblo to bilng order out of. the mesa and
sent for me.
Wl'Ilti; no', the cable tolls so high 1
might Interject here ii few remarks
on the general theory of desk-keeping.
Truly gieat inch usually have their desks
in apple-pic order or hlru un nss'stnnt to
take care of the pioblem. I well remem
ber what a pleasure It was for me lo siir
ve.v the w diking quarters of Ralph Waldo
Trine, Orison Svvctt Mat den sand Kdward
i:,irle Piirlnton. Everything was In Its
place; the pigeon-holes shone with genlnl'
tiimncs; every remark uttered iwus taken
down b) a stenographer nnd tiled before It
was answered. It Is only the mollycoddle
t.v po that permits his desk to get the
better of hint.
Imagine my amazement, therefore, when
Prince Max took me thiough the War
Olllce and the apartments of the 'cabinet
ministers, and I leulized the Immensity ot
in) task. The desk ot Hlndcnburg, for In
stance, was in a slato to appal rny pto
fessional deck excavator. Hlndy was ab
sent and Prince Mux pointed to the pigeon
holes with a pathetic gesture. "There," he
said, ".vou see the kind of job betoro jou.
In that desk !II;idy has 300 drafts for the
i-nnditiiins of an armistice. Every one of
them has been discarded, as 1 k'vow that
l'och won't listen to them: but old Hlndy
wistfully keeps them cluttering up his
olllce. In this filing case he lias seventy
live vouchers for the indemnity France is
to pay us, inside out In dctie.islng sums
according as he withdrawn his lines. 1
have- been telling him that he'd better
stop his calculations 'or he'll llnd that In
demnity becoming a negative llgi re. Hut,
ho'.s a pcrsbtcnt old dear. Here you oh
set vo" (ho rummaged in the mountain of
documents on the table) "is a chart show
ing the progress of swimming lessons
among the I.andsturm, In case It should be
necessary to get them rapidly across the
I'Jilnc. Now Hlndy will never clean up
this stuff; while bo's away I want you to
see what you can do. I think, though,
jou'el better save these two." Ho pointed
to an English Phrase Hook and a brightly
illustrated booklet, "Summer Lodgings on
St. Helena," Issued by the St. Helena
Uuslness Men's Association.
"And poor Solf!" saiel Max tenderly, as
we approached the olllce of the Secretary
for Foreign Affairs. "He's over at Pots
dam this evening, sitting up with the
Kaiser, who bus a bad headache. His
dek was in a teirihle condition when he
took It over from Kuehlmann, but it is
indescribable now."
It was Indeed. 1 glanced over it with
piactlced eye and ran thiough some of
the papers piled up. 1 saw an album of
photographs called "Peaceful SccnesAlong
the Heiiin-Uagdad Hallway"; expense ac
counts of firing squads loaned to I.enlne
and Trolzky; vouchers for the buiial fees
of German governors In Ukraine and am
bassadors in Moscow; a schedule of sala
lirs to be allowed the Kings of Courland,
Eslhonla, Lithuania and Poland; a photo
giaph of Woodrovv Wilson which was much
thumbed (It hud evidently been scrutinized
with gieat care); and several rough drafts
of a letter beginning Dear'l'rexhlciil WU
xon, the veritable representatives of the
Ucrman people In ovcriehelmlnt majority
assembled . I noticed also a letter from
I.enlne complaining that beveiul weeks'
salary woe' overdue, and u dravveiful of
half-written notes addressed Mr. Fred
erick Ocdeilln, Washington, V. ('.
"Anything you And ill Doctor Self's desk
relating to the colonies may safely be dej
stioyed," sulel Max. "I am given to under
stand by Herr Balfour that Solf will have
no fin titer need for them. That will sim
plify your task a little."
"My advice, Prince," I said, "would bo
to make a clean sweep of all this stuff.
On thut basis I cin undertake tho job.
Hut to sort over this muss of papers and
classify it into Its varying degrees of fu
tllity and e,rror would take mc a lifetime.
And how about your own desk'.' Is that
In the same condition','"
"I think it is u little better than Solf's,"
he said sadly, "but not much. Vou see,
old Hertling left things awfully upset.
When Kuehlmann remarked that the war
could not be endedby military means uloue
he was quite right. What we need, I said,
is an expert desk-cleaner. That ,s why I
sent for you. I guess you are right. De
'jtioy all thut junk, When Solf comes back
he will be t,o tickled he'll embrace you,
Then you can get started on my, rolltop
und Jtosner's."
"One other thing." I said. "There is a
ceituin desk In Potsdam, it very exulted
desk Indeed, that I think I had better make
un estimate on."
"Ves," said Max, "I think it will come
to thut. Hut perhaps I hud better not au
thorize that on my own responsibility. I
think you hod better have a word with the
Ueichstug. If they O. K, the Idea, go
to it!"
' Rules for Lighting a Siandiiuviun Match ,
Empty the mutches on the table and re
move the heads which have fallen oft
during the voyage from Sweden, It is
well to preserve these, us you may need a
lire extinguisher borne duy.
Of the remaining matches, tuke two und
rub their a'terns" briskly together. If neces

how to make a fire by friction of two

Study the motto, "Utan Svafvel ochVos

may be boaked off the box, and after drying

Oliver Cromwell Died of the Grip
The Disease Has Become Epidemic Periodically for Several Cen
turies Members of the First Congress Brought It
to Philadelphia in 1789
UNDER various names epidemics corra
epondlng to epidemic influenza have oc
curred at Irregular Intervals since accurate
descriptions have been made of disease. It
Is likely that at still earlier times this
disease was combined and confused with
other epidemic dlrorders und so did not stand
out us un entity until a relatively modem
period. In early Engllbh literuture this
disease is spoken of under a. af!cty of terms,
frelghtoh (Crelghton: -History of Epidemics
in Uritain, 1891) recognizes It under the
name "ague," used by the Bril'sh seven
teenth century authors. In 1GS8 qromvvcll
died from this disease, when Morton says
the country was "one vast hospital." The
Italian term "Influenza" first came to Eng
land In assoc'atlon with the epidemic of
1713, und it has been employed in connec
tion with the great epidemics of 1833, 1847
and 188D-90.
About 171'J the French term "la grlpjio
camo Into use and has been periodically
l chived ever since. The great pandemics
usually originated In the Far East and gradu
ally extended westwurd. The lute of human
travel und trio degree of Intercourse between
various paits of the world determined tho
rapidity of the extension. Besides the great
pandemics scarcely a year has flashed with
out local outbreaks, which have been classed
under the tertn "Influenza." Whether these
nre Identical with the more widespread epi
demics It It' hnpobslble to say.
THE severity of the disease has varied
greatly; bonie epidemics nre very mild,
others have? been severe. Influenza has
embraced America In several pandeimlcs. In
bis lemarkable work on epidemic diseases,
published in Hartford in 171)9, Noah Webster
locates the'flrst American epidemic of which
ho could find an account In 1647. It pussed
through the whole country and extended to
the Wert Indies. There were between' SOW
and CO00 deaths In Ilarburdos arid St. Kills.
In 1(155 a second severe epidemic occurred
in America. Benjamin Rush described nn
epidemic In 1789 In Philadelphia, vvh'ch was
brought there by members ot the First Con
gress, which had assembled in New York.
Daniel DralPe records a widespread epidemic
In the Wert In 1807. ,
The history of epidemics of influenza does
not differ so much from that of other diseases
spread by human intercourse that are usually
called contagious, a widespread epidemic
follows the Introduction of .a specially viru
lent virus, and there follows a general immu
nity among thore of the population who
have been Infected. ' As the epidemic dies
out the Infection decreases In virulence and
only sporadic cases occur. 'From such cases
und probably 'chronic carilers local outbreaks
occur, but the general Immunity prevents
any general epidemic-. After a period of
years u new susceptible population hat?
replaced the Immune one, and with the Intro
duction of u fresh virulent virus a general
epidemic Is uguln brought about. This would
account for the great susceptibility of young
persons, and as it is twenty-eight years
since' the last great epidemic we should not
expect many individuals above thirty years
of age to ,be now affected.
THE causative agent of epidemic Influenza
has not been certainly recognized. Th
attachment of the name "Influenza bacillus"
to a small bacillus described' by Pfelffer. In
1892 has been followed by Ita frequent recep
tion as the actual specific agent, There Is,
however, much uncertulnty as to Its etMogia
role. It Is to be hoped that the study of
utile present epidemic may lead to some cer
tain knowledge regarding the essential cause
of the disease. This should enable us to
determine whether the endemic cases and
those of limited mid epidemics are really
Identical with the ones observed In the great
periodic outbreaks. '
T
HE cases In the present epidemic begin
usually quite suddenly with naln In the
head, back, eye. Ilmtx and joint. With

ness and a fever of from 101 degrees to 104
degrees Fahrenheit. Tho pulse does not
become very rapid, and the patient often I.-:
drowsy. VoiiTlllng may occur. Sometimes
there may bu diarrhea, bul usually there
Is constlpatlin. After tho disease has beceine
cstirbilshed the mucous membranes of the
nose and throat become reddened, and there
is sneezing and lednese of the conjunctiva.
Involvement of the larynx, causing hoarse
ness, nnd of tho bionchl, causing cough, are
common. There Is an associated leukopenia
or a normal leukocyte count. A leukocytosis
points to some complication. The fever gradu
ally falls to normal after u few days and
n-.oie or less prostration Is piesent during
convalescence. A transient albuminuria Is
frequent. Many of tho cases have hemor
ihuges of the mucous membranes of the
nose, some of the urethia or bowel.
NOT infrequently u lobular pneumonia de
velops after u few days, and Th's Is re
sponsible for most of Hie. fatalities. Tho
pneumonia differs fiom the usual picture of
pneumonia. In that the temperature may bo
very slight,, and tho pulse rate may give
little Indication of the gravity of the condi
tion. These cases. Instead of subsiding, may
coino down to practically normal tempera
ture for twelve houis; then there may be a
sharp ilse In temperature, not followed by a
chill, backache, boneache, headache, or nau
sea. About this time there may ulso be expec
toration containing bright led blood. As u
rule, twelve or twenty-four hours after the
second rise of temperature on physical ex
amination In the lower lung, In a preponder
ance of cases on the left side, ns seen ut
Great Lakes, small areas about the size of
a bilver dollar of typical pneumonia con
solidation nre found by auscultation. These
areas may become marked so that by the
second day of the second rise scattered
through the lung, piobably both lungs, ten or
I fifteen of thesu small aieas may have ap
peared, in me epiueimc at ureal i-ai.cs, u
the patient did well these would gradually
disappear. They did not resolve us u pneu
monia would resolve. The clearing up of
the lung at'lt'i' this u the lecovered patients
was i emai liable as to Its rapidity. Other
cases went on to a typical lobar, massive
consolidation, us far (is the physical signs
were concerned, wliji dullness, Increase In
fremitus, typical tubular voice and breath
ing, and ull the signs, except that there was
not u very marked Increase In the pulse
rate, und the respirations were not up to this
time markedly Increased, Cases with al
most complete consolidation ot the lung, as
to the lower lobes, with a temperature of
105 degrees, would huvera pulse around 100,
with lesplratlous 34 or l'C. There muy be
nipldly developing toxemlu nnd vasomotor
depression, with death ot the patient icsult
Ing In many cuses.
THE incubation peilod In these Influenzas
Is piobably very short, but it Is difficult
to obtain accurate flguies op (his point, The
disease is probably spread entirely by con
tact infection, the virus of the disease being,
disseminated for shurt dhetunces thiough
droplets driven Into the air in coughlng'and
sneezing, Circumstances which fuvor this
means of spread, such us crowding In cars,
favor the spread of the disease.
The measures to be taken to prevent the
spread of the disease comprise all those
which interfeie with the ti a lister of the In
fectious materials fiom thee sick to the un
infected. This Includes Isolation of the pa
tient, und the Intelligent use of proper gauze
masks by the attendunl, In the time of an
epidemic, prompt and efficient Isolation ot
the first cuses In a company could accom
plish much. If this has. been neglected and
the Infection has spread among the popula
tion, measures which prevent the coming to
gether of numbers of persons In close quar
ters are to be employed. The desirability of
closing schools in a large city In the preB
itnce of hii epidemic is'u measure of doubtful
value. In- smaller pluces this is more rea
sonable, und the danger of Infection when
children are outdoors should be less than
when they ure brought together In a school-room.-

''POETS KILLED IN BATTLE
LIFE had not paled for them: this Is the
J worst.
Still glad und eager, .still unsutlsfled,
Keening to hunger, swift to sudden thirst
For more and more and more of life
they died.
Their minds were thrilling dally at new
doors, -
Tliclr llps'flnd fingers finding fresh de
light; They walked bewildered at earth's sweets
and stores
Through sunny mornings then
the sudden night.
Surely within that clay some pulse must
hide,
The stricken dream a little while beat on,
Some deep, Impassioned hungers still abide
For friend and face and field, for dusk
and dawn
Ah, Earth and Sky, you that they loved
to praise,
Becnder "with thut dust for certain days.
David Morton In the New York Sun.

Fiance should have a new Industry after
this war, especially If the expenditure of
shells continues another year or two. Each
s'dc. It Is said, has used, since March -I,
more than 3,000,000 tons of steel in various
sorts of shells. The aggregate of steel
buried hi the battle zone almost might make
that strip a Mcsaba mine. And the metal to
be reclaimed would fiot be raw ore, or even
pig Iron, but finished steel.
The battle zone, If lost for decades to
agriculture, ought to prove valuable as a
