THE EPIDEMIC OF GRIPPE
O
The North Carolina State Board
of Health has issued the following
official statement on the epidemic
of influenza that is sweeping over
the State :
4iThe State of North Carolina is
in the grip of an epidemic of Span
isK Influenza . ;
The disease is invading the State
from many quarters, as it prevails
throughout the United States, but
the principal lines of invasion seem
to be from the seaports of Wilming
ton and Norfolk. Already the dis
case has appeared over the entire
State, being very prevalent in the
East and having established itself
in a number of centers in the
West. The indications are that
within another week it will gener
ally prevalent throughout the
State.
"The disease started in Spain
in May, this year, involving 30 per
cent of, the population of that
country within a short time. Al
ready the disease has invaded and
practically passed through Europe
The rapidity with which it travels
and the large per cent of the popu
lation involved indicate (1) the ex
ceptionally contagious nature of
the desease and (2) that with it
public health measures have little
influenza The only good fortune
attending the present epidemic in
North Carolina is that it will pro
bably exhaust its supply of suscep
tibles before its dangerous allv,
pneumonia, arrives in force in De
cember January and February
"The disease is due to spit swap
ping. Spit is swapped or exchan
ged in the following ways:
By coughing or sneezing into the
air instead of into a handkerchief
In open coughing or sneezing an
infertious and invisible spray is
thrown several yards into the air
and,, floats for thirty to sixty min
utes. The greater the spraying,
as in the psychic waves of cough"
ing that pass through assembla
ges moving pirture shows chur
dies and other gatherings the den
ser and more potent the infections
atmosphere; (b) by soiling the
hands with spit (very small invis
ible amounts) and transferring the
spit to the hands of another per
son in handclasps or bv handling
something as a door knob or some
article from which a second per
son gets the minutest amount of
spit; (c) by using the common rol
ler towel contaminating and beins
contaminated; (d) by using com
mon drinking- dippers common
(trinking cups and common spit
infected water from a common
bucket ; (e) by , using anything

Active participation by it in the Con
gressional campaigns, which will short
ly commence throughout the country,
has been announced by the National
Security League. The League declares
that unusual measures must be taken
to insure the election this fall of a
Congress which will stand militantly
behind the carrying of the war to a
decisive victory.
The entire force of the League's 281
branches and its membership of over
100,000 patriotic American citizens will
be thrown into this campaign. The
creation of support of the movement
outside the League will also be un
dertaken by means of an active propa
ganda among the leading citizens of
every state in the Union, irrespective
of party.
Elihu Root Takes Lead.
Elihu Root, who is Honorary Presi
dent of the National Security League,
at the recent Annual Meeting of th
organization laid particular emphasis
mi the necessity of non-partisan sup
port of the Government in its ef
&rts for the aggressive prosecution 01
the war and the consequent iiipor
tance of this year's Congressional elec
tions. The matter was then taken up
by the National Executive Committee
of the League and the campaign decid
ed upon at a meeting attended by Al
ton B. Parker, who Is Honorary Vice
President of the Security League .
James W. Gerard, former United
States Ambassador to Germany, one oi
tiie League's Vice Presidents; S. Stan
wood Menken, President of the
League ; Lawrence F. Abbott of the
Outlook, and other prominent men.
The League for National Unity and
other great national organizations
have already indorsed the movement.
The leading newspapers of the country
are also expressing their approval.
The following are a few of the fa
vorable editorial comments which are
appearing in all parts of the country :

WIIHamsport (Pa.) Sun : "The Na
tional Security League's effort will
have the hearty support of all patri

Des Moines (la.) Tribune: "Here in

Saginaw (Mich.) News: "This cam
paign will have a strong and growing
following all over the country."
Helena (Mtont) Independent : "Ameri
icans upon whom party lines rest light

tion of the plan of the National Se
curity League." '
