KAISER REFUSES TO QUIT HOLLAND

{ignores Dutch Pleas Regarding Trouble He Is Causing Government UL-.' EX-EMPEROR’S AIDS BUSY —— 7 Inventory of Former Ruler’s Private Belongings Shows the Famous Imperial Wardrobe Included 598 Uniforms. Amsterdam, Dec. 17. —William Hohfenzollern, the former German emperor, the Telegraaf says it understands, has refused tt> leave Holland after official representations had been made that his continued presence in Holland was to involve the country in serious difficulties. The former emperor, the paper adds, was told that his free departure would be a matter of gratification to the Dutch government. Famous Wardrobe Found. London, Dec. 17.—An inventory of former Emperor William’s private belongings in Berlin and Potsdam has led to the discovery of the famous imperial wardrobe, including 598 German and foreign military and naval uniforms, according to the Boersen Zeiitung of Berlin. Several thousand horses in stables formerly belonging Ito Herr Hohenzollern have been confiscated. 1 Played Up as Martyr. < The Hague, Dec. 17. —Reports from Germany indicate the existence of Bttrong word-of-mouth propaganda in 'favor of the ex-kaiser, and that the movement is meeting with increasing •success through the untiring efforts of his faithful henchmen. He is being played up as a martyr, who is now Buffering from the effects of doing his best for his country. Direct Sympathies Toward “Exile." It is put forward that if an overwhelming majority of the German people express the wish that he be the president of a German republic, such a move would command the careful consideration of allied statesmen. It would make the situation exceedingly complicated. The sympathies of the German people are cunningly directed toward the poor exile who loved his people enough to relinquish the throne nt danger to liberty and life, but is still yearning to serve Germany. It is believed that the former kaiser has been carefully coached in the part he is now playing, his Complete silence and reticence strengthening the efforts made in ids behalf.

U. S. HEALTH SERVICE ISSUES WARNING

Increase in AH Respiratory Dis* eases After the Influenza Epidemic Probable. Influenza Expected to Lurk for Months. How to Guard Against Pneumonia. Common Colds Highly Catching—lmportance of Suitable dYothing— Could Save 100,000 Lives. Washington, D. C. —With the subsidence of the epidemic of influenza the attention of health officers is directed to pneumonia, bronchitis and other diseases of the respiratory system which regularly cause a large number of deaths, especially during the winter season. According to Rupert Blue, Surgeon Gerferal of the United States Public Health Service, these diseases will be especially prevalent this winter unless the people are particularly careful to obey health Instructions. “The present epidemic," said Surgeon General Blue, “has taught by bitter experience how readily a condition beginning apparently as a slight cold may go on to pneumonia and death. Although the worst of the epidemic is over, there will continue to be a large number of scattered cases, many of them mild and unrecognized, which will be danger spots to be guarded against.” The Surgeon General likened the present situation to that after a great fire, saying, “No fire chief who understands his business stops playing the hose on the charred debris as soon as the flames and visible Are have disappeared. On the contrary, he continues the water for hours and even days, for he knows that there is danger of the fire rekindling from smoldering embers.” “Then you fear another outbreak of Influenza?” he was asked. “Not necessarily another large epidemic,” said the Surgeon General, “but unless the people learn to realize the seriousness of the dagger they will be compelled to pay a heavy death toll from pneumonia and other respiratory diseases.

Common Colds Highly Catching. “It is encouraging to observe that people are beginning to learn that ordinary coughs and colds are highly catching and are spread from person to person by means of droplets of germ laden mucus. Such droplets are sprayed into the air when careless or ignorant people cough or sneeze without covering their mouth and nose. It is alto good to know that people have learned’ something about the value of fresh air. In summer, when people are largely out of doors, the respiratory diseases (coughs, colds, pneumonia, etc.) are Infrequent; in the fall, as people begin to remain Indoors, the respiratory diseases increase; in the winter, when people are prone to stay In badly ventilated, overheated rooms, the respiratory diseases become very prevalent. Suitable Clothing Important “Still another factor in the production of colds, pneumonia and other re* spiratory diseases is. carelessness or ignorance Of the people regarding suitable clothing during the seasons when the weather suddenly changes, sitting in warm rooms too heavily dressed or, what is even more comrqon, especially among women, dressing so lightly that windows are kept closed In order to be comfortably warm. This is a very injurious practice.

Could Save 100,000 Lives. "I believe we cj>uld easily save one hundred thousand lives annually in the United States if all the people would adopt the system of fresh air living fallowed, for example, In tuberculosis sanatoria. There is nothing mysterious about it —no specific medicine, no vaccine. The important thing is right living, good food and plenty of fresh air. Droplet Infection Explained In Pictures, “The Bureau of Public Health, Treasury Department, has just Issued a striking poster drawn by Berryman, the well-known Washington cartoonist The poster exemplifies the modern method of health education. A few years ago, under similar circumstances, the health authorities would have issued an official dry but scientifically accurate bulletin teaching the role of droplet infection in the spread of respiratory diseases. The only ones who would have understood the bulletin would have been those who already knew all about the subject. The man in the street, the plain citizen and the many millions who toll for their living would have had no time and no desire to wade through the technical phraseology."

ADVICE TO "FLU" CONVALESCENTS

SPAIN AND ENGLAND REPORT INCREASE IN TUBERCULOSIS AFTER INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC. U. S. Public Health Service Warns Public Against Tuberculosis. One Million Cases Tuberculosis in United States—Each a Source of Danger. Influenza Convalescents Should Have Lungs Examined—Colds Which Htang On Often Beginning of Tuberculosis. No Cause for Alarm If Tuberculosis Is Recognized Early—Patent Medicines Not to Be Trusted.

Beware tuberculosis after influenza. No need .to worry If you take precautions in time. Don’t diagnose your own condition. Have your doctor examine your lungs several times at monthly intervals. Build up your strength with, right living, good food and plenty of fresh air. Don’t waste money on patent medicines advertised to cure tuberculosis. Become a fresh-air crank and enjoy life.

Washington, D. C. (Special.)—According to a report made to the United States Public Health Service, the epidemic of influenza in Spain has already caused an increase in the prevalence and deaths from pulmonary tuberculosis. A similar association between influenza and tuberculosis was recently made. by Sir Arthur Newsholme, the chief medical officer of the English public health service, in hi*

analysis of the tuberculosis death rate in England. In order that the people of the United States may profit by the experience of other countries Surgepn General Rupert Blue of the United States Public Health Service has just Issued a warning emphasizing the need of special 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 peculiarly susceptible to tuberculosis. With millions of Its people recently affected with influenza this country now offers conditions favoring the spread of tuberculosis." One Million Consumptives In ths United States. “Then you consider this a serious menace?” was asked. “In my opinion It is, though I hasten to add It Is distinctly one against 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 exactly the number of tuberculous persons In each state despite the fact that most of the states have made the disease reportable. In New York city, where reporting has been In force for many years, over 35,000 cases of tuberculosis are registered with the Department of Health. Those familiar with the situation believe that the addition of unrecognized and unreported cases would make the number nearer 50,000. The very careful health survey conducted during the past two years In Framingham, Mass., revealed 200 cases of tuberculosis in a population of approximately 15,000. If these proportions hold true for tne United States as a whole they would Indicate that about one In every hundred persons Is tuberculous. Each of these constitutes a source of danger to be guarded against.” What to Do. In his statement to the public Surgeon General Blue points out how those who have had influenza should protect themselves against tuberculosis. “All who have recovered from influenza.” says the Surgeon General, “should have their lungs carefully ex-, amlned by a competent physician. Irf

fact, It is desirable to have several examinations made a month apart Such examinations cannot be made through the clothing nor can they be carried out In two or three minutes. If the lungs are found to be free from tuberculosis every effort should be made to keep them so. This can be done by right living, good food and plenty of fresh air.” Danger Signe. The Surgeon General warned especially against certain danger signs, such as “decline” and “colds which hang 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 a competent physician. Tuberculosis is curable“in the early stages.. Patent Medicines Dangerous in Tuber. culosis. “Above all do not trust in the misleading statements of unscrupulous patent medicine fakers. There is no specific medicine for the cure of tuberculosis. The rponey spent on such medicines is thrown away; it should be spent instead for good food and decent living.”
