THE YELLOW DOG AND THE FLW. Now the Yellow Dog has the flu. The bug has bitten him hard, arid he is making a loud and far-reaching clamor. Perfectly loyal and patriotic men and women of Bismarck have taken up his cry, and innocently are spreading the evil tidings. AND, OF COURSE, IT IS MERELY ANOTHER KAISER LIE. This tale concerns the execution of sundry doc- tors and nurses who were detected injecting Span- ish flu germs into soldiers at Camp Pike, Ark. Somebody on a train told somebody who lives in Bismarck, and he told somebody else, and some- body else busily began spreading, the story, and adding to it. ¥ AND IT IS JUST A PLAIN, COMMON GAR- DEN VARIETY OF KAISER LIE. + “Somebody on the train” usually starts these stories. The wonder is that there is always some other “somebody on the train” willing to listen to such stories and anxjous to believe them and reddy to spread them. The Spanish flue tale of the Yellow Dog is of- ficially denied in national army and Red Cross quarters. ‘ : No German doctors or nurses in the’service of the United States army nor in the Red Cross ranks DEMOCRACY. Experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable, than| to right themselves by abolishing the forms to; which they are accustomed. . The reluctance of individuals and nations to de-} part from the established order is the stigma of, fear passed down the centuries from autocracy’s | darkest age. | effort and effort demands exertion. , | There is one thing which the extravagant genus homo radically conserves—his energy.

It was imevitable that-it would make its appearance here, with dozens of our boys returning from the other side, and with transports constantly crossing. ’ It was just as positive that once the flu gained a foothold on the Atlantic sea- board it would spread inland, and it was the most natural thing in the, world that the epidemic} Democracy has so liberated ‘its passessors from would show itself early in the great army canton-|the dread to tread out of habit’s stride, that we've mens, where men are gathered from every quarter) undertaken to rid the world of the last of its cf the country.

While delays due to this cause and to the fact that the military authorities have objected in some cases to furnishing civilian postal autharities with information as to the location of troops have been nu- merous and disagreeable, nevertheless Captain Frazier maintains they have _constituted.a small part of the service, 000,000 letters a day to the troops abroad./ - sia | Three Weeke the Average Now. + “Deldys caused by military objection to, furnishing location of troops are, i now. being cured in a measure by give ‘ ve directing the mail service.

The:great mass , . of. letters to and from the expedition ary forces come and go on time,” 'y One of the causes of delay has been duplication of, names. Another has been that -hundreds of thousands of letters -sent to some training camp o1 other inthis country were forwarded to the great central A. E. F, post office in France, at Tours, and there held until the addressee could be located in France. It is.estimated that 300,00¢ letters a month were delayed on this | account. . Captain Frazier: points out ee foe that it is necessary that every soldier | should fotify” his ‘correspondents at once. when he is assigned to a definite. ‘ unit in France. . “Delays in the delivery of mail which cannot be avoided are likely to occur at any time during a‘ period of - i great activity,.and secret-movement of ~ troopr,”* Captain Frazier explains, A ‘ “Where the-success-of a troop move > + ment.on the front depends upon se erecy mail cannot-be sent to members of a mobile force until the. troops are established at the selected designation. Whether the delay be of hours or sev eral days it must be accepted as a military necessity. : - Some Letters Just Miss Ships, “Every care is taken to expedite the mal} for wounded: men in hospitals, The only delay is that which is abso qutely unavoidable. A wounded man may be sent from one hospital to an other, and even to several before reaching a permanent basé hospital.

One is the posting of the letter just too late to make.the trans Port and with\a week ensuing ‘before © . ‘ the sailing of ‘another transport., The other cause is the limitation place upon ocean transportation facilities -and lack of information ’as to the des: tination of ships, “Unless the Pailitary port officer at the port of embarkation knows where a steamship is going to land, mail can- not be sent by that steamship. This defect has been cured by a war de- partment order which directs that the “h ME information as to. destination be fure nished to the militafy port officer.
