AMERICANS WILL HUE THAT SHIPS BE Ml [ England Said to Support Delegates From United Statos ! in Hnntention. I Paris.?The American delegates to the peace congress have resolved to advocate the sinking of the surrendered enemy war ships and resist any proposition to distribute them on the bads of naval losses. This announcement is made by those in close touch with the American representatives, who, it is added, feel that such a position would result in avoiding contention and materially support President Wlison's declaration that the war was not based on aggression 01 the acquisition of property. England, through Sir Eric Gedde . first lord of the admiralty, had previously acquiesced ill the American plan to destroy the captured or sur] rendered warships, and, it is dcciaiI cd, will continue to support the i United States, although it is expect! ed that some of the lesser naval J powers will demand that the prizesbe distributed. American naval stations will be maintained for at least a year at Brest, Gibraltar and in the Azores to rt ndcr aid to American merchant ships. The consent of France, England and Portugal has already been secured. The aero and radio stations at these points will be in readiness to respond to calls for aid by American shipping in distress. Facilities will be afforded for needed repairs and supplies. Although the plans have not been developed, it is believed in naval circles that the shippnig board desires the continuance of the manning of its ships with naval officers and crews until private captial is organised to undertake the great task of * operating thousands of merchant vessels. The other naval establishments in Europe have been ordered abandoned as rapidly as possible, and progress in this direction has already been considerable. The United States had 27 aevo stations along the European coast, the material of which excupl at Brest, Gibraltar and the Azores, is being shipped home. Naval transports relieved of carrying munitions will hereafter convey food supplies. It is expected that the army also will soon be able to use a number of its transports similarly on Eastern voyages. Demobilization of the naval personnel has been ordered to proceed C rapidly on the basis of the transfer ? to the reserve lists of men and officers of good character and physique. 4 ~ , The needs of the new merchant marine, it is calculated, will absorb as "\cro a, proportion of such reservists k desired. 4 GREETINGS: OMERS: signed and the world peace is rth, Good Will Toward Men," V iwtty trying days which the wa sunbeams in the distance and ficrins' and turmoil that Euror at America is extremely fortun o been taught much indeed; we ke better men of us all.

During the prevalence of the influenza epidemic in South Carolina many and varied courses of treatment were suggested by people whose intents were irood. and who wished to render some service to those afflicted. That other sections of the country have also brought forward a number of "sure cures" is .nude manifest in a recent bulletin rent out by the United States public health service. Below are given excerpts from the article dealing with some of the treatments suggested: "First comes the individual who has a specific remedy, the formula ' of which he is ready to give to the ' world for a price. One such writer 1 reminds the surgeon general of the ' $1,000,000 that congress has appro- | printed for combating influenza, and offers to sell his secret for a 'reasonable sum.' "Next comes the person with the pseudoscientific treatment, sometimes 'isotonic sea water,' sometimes 'ozono theraphy' and again 'harmonic vibrations.' One such writer, well known to the New York health authorities, addresses the surgeon general from his present residence, the, state hospital for the insane. Sulphur in Shoes. "Still another type is the individual wro gives freely of his advice so that humanity may be spared from the pestilence. Such a one writes: 'Sprinkle a little sulphur in each shoe every morning; this was given to the people of Atlanta by a doctor, of 40 odd years of practice. , He alsi used it when waiting on yellow fever years ago.' Another advises people to add 'ten cents worth of asafctida to half a pint of brandy, and give a teaspoonful every two or three hours. I gave my baby one-fourth teaspoonful with good results.' "One writer who says he lives at the jumping off place in western California has perfected a patent medicine which will 'knock out germs and remove the real cause of sickness. I got it by combining wonderful essential oils that will penetrate the hardest wood that grows; the compound, while it is not a poison, will penetrate any and all kinds of germs or insects and dry or bum it up in a minute.' This remedy sells for $1.00 a bottle. "A physician writing from Missouri offers 'to furnish the remedy for the nominal price of $4.50 for each patient, or will take a surgeon major's commission and pay and give his services to the army medical department. Suggests Cause of Disease. "From Portsmouth, Va., comes a letter which calls attention to the real cause of the epidemic, namely, 'Desecration of God's Sabbath which he said holy keep.' "Comes also the mental scientist who regards the epidemic as engendered by fear. "This sort of infecfectious suggestion is a crime against the public, is treason to our government, and the traitors responsible for it shall not be allowed to go unpunished.' "The food faddist is not missing fiom those who have sure cures. One advises the elimination of white bread, rice, coffee and tea and the use of spring water and molasses in place of sugar. The prescription for alcohol and chloroform to be inhaled from cotton comes from several sources with slight variations. This is also true for the receipt for hot lemonade without sugar. "The wearing of amulets is also advocated. One writer prefers asafetida tied in a piece of gauze and worn by a string around the neck. Another recommends camphor used in the same way; still another uses a secret r compound which he desires to patent. * For a recipe consisting of water, salt and coal oil, and called a 'sure cure * for influenza,' a woman, writing from Missouri, states that she will he thankful for the reward which she . understands has Joeen offered by the government." No Cure Found. The article concludes with these words: . "The United States public health service urges the public to remember that there is .as yet no specific cure for influenza, and that many of the alleged 'cures' and remedies now being recommended by neighbors, nostrum vendors, and others do more harm than good. "The chief reliance must be on fresh air, nutritious food, plenty of water, cheerful surroundings and J good nursihg. If any specific like a i r v ?

The President some time ago indi- / cated in a speech that something I should be done promptly for reliever ing the liberated and neutral regions which suffered so severely from the war. He now has supplemented this by making known to the Allies that he regards the relief measures as of extreme importance both for the stricken populations and 4* also as a means of holding back the ^ wave of discontent and resentment sweeping westward in the train ot" the Bolshevist movement. The relief plans which have matured since the arrival of Herbert C. Hoover, the food administrator, are understood to have gone before the supreme war council in London > and to have been referred to a com-.-Jr mittce upon which England, France and Italy are represented. A number of exchanges have been going on with the committee which is gradually tending toward agreement. As a great deal of German tonnage is lying idle in German ports, the use of this was contemplated, the passenger ships to be employed in moving American troops homeward, and the bulk of the freighters, augmented with American and Allied freight tonnage to be devoted to relief work. a Because of President Wilson's * special interest in the subject he has made it known he considers it highly desirable that cooperation by all the Allied interests be secured at the earliest possible moment and now it is beleived that the entire question will be speedily adjusted. 0 Don't forget your pledge to buy War Savings Stamps this month. o NOTICE OF LOST CERTIFICATE. .
