blue DISCUSSES ru -FLU" QUESTION :o Surgeon Gener.il Seheves. However. . x That Disease Will Not 3** So Severe ??? ^ , Vashington. Sept. 13.?"Will the cj flu' come back this year?" ni Th^a question being asked by thousands 01 scientists and millions of so Laymen throughout the wori i is dis- th :ussed by surgeon Genera 3Iue of J the public health service in an >:fi- *'j :iai bulletin in which it is said that pt the plague probably will reapp-11 ?f but not as severe as iast winter. "'Probably, but by no means certain "'J ?u iy, there will be a recurrence of the . influenza epidemic this year." says ^ General Blue. ^ "Indications are that snoutu .t oc- ', cur, it will not be as severe as the, pandemic of the previous winter. w City officials, State and city Doards rfi of health, should be prepared m the -n event of a recurrence. The fact that rV a previous attack brings immunity in a certains percentage of cases, V should allay fear on the part of those ^ afflicted in the previous epidemic. j ^ Influenza is spread by direct and j p, indirect contact. It is not yet certain i ;n that the germ has been isolated, or' discovered, and as a consequence j ^ Tnere is yet no positive preventative w except the enforcement of rigid rules j of sanitation and the avoidance of pi personal contact. A close relation ^ between the influenza pandemic and the constantly increasing pneumonia ^i immortality rate prior to the fall of fa T919 is recognizee. It isnow believed fa that the disease was prohaoiy wiaeiy iissemiiu. teu throughout the country 0f before it was recognizee in its epi- ai aemic state. This failure to recognize st the early cases appear- to have largely been due to the fact that w every interest was then centereo on ri the War. j es "Not one of the many experts of: di :ne service would make a more posi-1 or tive forecast. All agreed, however. ft that a recurrence was not unlikely, and in the face of the known fact, that it would be wise to beprepared ; ''Contrary to the opinion expressed frequently during the ea iy weeks i st of last year's phndemic by a number; w; of observe! s, the studies of the pub-, er lie health service indicate chat the j of epidemic was not a fresh importation 1 in . .from abroad.

"It seems probable, however, that e may expect at '.east local recuroces in the near future, with an1 crease over the normal mortality om pneumonia for perhaps severalj ?ars; and certainly we should be, as x as possible, prepared to meet; em by previous organization of j >rces and measures for attempted J evention. treatment, and scientific i I !

"Evidence collected during last inter's pandemic points strongly to feeted eating and drinking utensils, ipecially in places where food and ink are sold to the public, as being ie of the modes of transmission of tis disease." i ? i A Young Agitator New York was touched by another rike the other day.
