It has not only become a great and terrifying menace to the pub lie health, but unless checked, it Is apt to se riously affect the progress ot war work In all Its various departments. Alrsady the Shipping Board has an nounced that ten per cent of Its work era naa been airectea The disease has made Its greateet progress In the East whsre it has ' claimed Its victims by the thousands. Reports from other sections, however, j are equally alarming; . and both civil and military authorities have warned ' the publlo to take every precaution ' J . to prevent Its further spread.
