Paris.?President Wilson and Marshal
Foeh talked for half an hour
last night. The subjects under discussion

probable tho treaty of peace will be

Koch will lead the allied armie ;
under the arch of triumph in Pari:
within fifteen days after peace is declared.
During his talk with Marshal Fcch

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.

SOME "SURE CURES"
FOR INFLUENZA
Many Queer Treatments Suggested
by Laymen From
Over the Country.
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

Paris.?Plans for extending relief ,
to famished Europe, which President
Wilson regards as the most pressing
question needing settlement, are rapidly
maturing in such a way as to
secure full cooperation by the Allies.
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.
