Southampton Rest Camp, which was
situated on low wet ground , and was
without adequate facilities for taking
rare of sick men or men who had been
exposed to an epidemic. Most of tlr*
housing in the camp was in tents
without cots, and the men had to sleep
on floors which consisted merely >f
one layer of thin boards a few inches
off the ground.”
For a few days the doctors tried to
fight the epidemic on shipboard, but
it became so fiercely virulent that it
finally became necessary to disem
bark the men and take them to the
rest camp.
"The medical authorities in the
hospitals around Southampton.” the
report says, "were well equipped to
d< al with any ordinary outbreak of
disease, hut this emergency taxed to
the breaking point all their accommo
dations and preparations. Supplies,
not only of drugs and equipment, but
also of doctors and nurses were rapid
ly exhausted.”
Here, the reuort ooints out, was a
signal opportunity for the Red Cros-.
and it lent valuable aid in securing in
stant delivery of needed supplies and
clothing and in providing accomoda
tions for many of the patients.
From 7(1 cases of influenza among
American soldiers in Great Britain
during the week ending September
the number jumped to 2330 on Sep
tember 30. That was the highwater
mark and from then on there was i
sharp and steady decline, the number
dwindling to eight cases by D<‘ccmbor
8th.

( ROW!) IN LINK TO
III Y AMERICAN CANDY
________ >,«
PARIS, April 14— One of the fea
tures of the Peace Confeienee is thrt
queue which forms daily in the coifi
doi of the hote1 which shelters th"
American delegates to buy candy from
the canteen established by the Armen
ian government to supply cigars, o;ga
icites, candy and chewing gum to th*
hundreds of specialists and other gov
ernment employes quartered there.
Candy is so scarce and so expen
sive in Paris that it is the favorite'
article on sale in all American army.
Red Cross, and Young Men’s Christ
ian Associaaion canteens. The allow
ance given to each canteen daily is
small. Consequently, the men with a
sweet tooth watch eagerly for the ar
rival of the daily supply and struggle
for advanced positions in the 1 in**
which always contains more buyers
than there are packages of candy.
No man is allowed to have more
than one pound of candy and the price
is three francs a pound. Army offic
ers, stenographers, correspondent-,
historians and bo-specked specialists
on Mesopotamia and Trans-Caucasia
good-naturedly contend for one of the
overseas tins of chocolates.

KULOK MAY BE
COALING STATION
SEATTLE. WASH., April 14 - K? -
lok, an Alaska point far out on the
Aleutian island string, may some da
supply Alaska coal to trans-Pacifi:
liners swinging north on the “Great
Circle” route between Japan and th ?
Puget Sound, according to Seattl *
steamship officials who are discussln :
the establishment of a coaling statio 1
at Kulok. At present, they point ou .
space could be saved, they claim, i
the ship could carry blit half their
present coal tonnage and could re
plenish their bunkers at Kulok.
A. F. Haines, general manager of
the Pacific Steamship Company, ha
prepared a statement in which lie a;m
to show that bunker space for 720
long tons or 660 long tons would be
saved on every trip from Seattle. By
carrying cargo instead of coal in this
space the company revenues would be ,
increased.
Coal is not far from being half way
between Seattle and Moji, where
Trans- Pacific liners usually coal, ac
cording to Mr. Haines. From Seattle
and 2.70S from Moji.
A plan for the establishment of a
similar mid-Pacific coal station at
Dutch Harbor, Alaska, was discussed
before all Alaska coal lands were with
drawn in 1006.

HER FIRST KISS
(Hazard, Kv., Herald.)
The following: is quoted from an
English book of the Victorian period
which was supposed to be quite prim,
presenting: a fine confessional of the I
virgrin emotions of a young: £irl:
“The first time she was kissed she j
felt like a vase of roses swimming: in ,
honey and eau de cologrne. She also
felt as if something: was- running:
through l\er nerves on feet of dia
monds, escorted by several little Cu
pids in chariots drawn by anprels shad
ed by honeysuckles, and the whole
spread over with melting: rainbows.”
