By the Assoclated Press. . LONDON, January 26.—The greater part of London is now suffering from the severest Influenza epldemic since | the war. Accelerated by the wet and cold weather of the last two weeks, the disease has spread so rapidly that it is hard to combat, especially among the naorer classes. So far the epidemlic has only been of a mild type, but it is sufficiently pro lific to fill' all of London's nursing homes and to commandeer all trained nurses, One newspaper estimates that there are 3,000 cases in London. It has been_officially announced that there are 2,000 cases at Aldershos, o cf the largest army camps in England, with the result that many barracks have been converted into hospitals and that quarantine regulations are in _force. - 3 Medical sclence is alarmed at the regular recurrence of influenza in England. They fear that the disease will soon weaken the constitutions and hearty vigor of Englishmen, making them each year less able to withstand the new attacks or caus- ing them to.be susceptible to lung diseases. This would be a calamity for Englishmen, since they ara habitually faced with weather con- ducive to this type of disease 1he physicians are now using the recently discovered vaccine, which, hnwever, has not yet shown excep: tional results.
