for an armlbtlco and a subsequent dis

Itnew the suggestion for n pence con

any to the people of Germnny: "I hnve
ofrered to end the wot au the enemy's
own terms and ho refuses. The Ger
mnn nntlon now must unitedly fight
on."
At first there wns some dUnppoln
ment because President Wllon did
rot reject the German proposal swift
ly and bluntly, but a little considera
tion hns convinced almost eryone
that he evaded a trap and bv Ids di
rect questions' put the German dip
lomats In a position of the utnmt diffi
culty. At the same time he left the
door open for ultlmnte negotiations,
lifter Germnny has accepted his 14
points nnd given full guarantees. As
lor the nrmlstlce, he did not agree to
that even were the German nrmles to
be withdrawn from nil occupied terri
tories, recognizing the fact thnt the
declaring of nn armlstlco Is up to
the military commnnders. The presi

The 'entest blow delivered by the

by Amerlcnn divisions, tore n
20-mlle gnp through the strongest of
Illndenburg's boasted defenses, cap
turing dozens of vlllnges and ninny
thousnnds of prisoners and on Wednes
day occupied the long nnd des
perately defended city of Cnmbml.
The Huns, in full flight, blew up most
of Cambral and burned Bohnln, Mnr

but thr allies did not even stop to ex
tinguish the flames. The enemy np

tute his lines bnck of the Selle

IJolg's troops, led by the cavalry,
pushed rapidly forward and the bit
guns followed so fast thnt they kept
the Huns always under fire. Only tho
Germnn machine gunners put up n cred
itable defense, the riflemen who could
be overtnken generally surrendering
willingly. Prisoners said the German
plan wns to retrent to the Vnlenclennes
line nnd then to the Meue, nnd It wns
evident tho retirement of tho German
nrmles from France wns well under
wny. They will fight all the way back
to their borders, of course, but tho
country Is open and the tanks nnd env
alry of the nllles will hnve dally In
creasing opportunity to do their pnrt.
Tlie Germans si.Ul have the strength
to tnalntnln n fairly orderly retreat,
nnd tf tho war Is ended bv a military
decMon, It Is admitted the Huns mny
be nhle to postpone that Inevitable
event for many months. When they
do rench the Mouse they will bo be

While their comrades were helping

Cnmhrnl region, tho Amerlcnn First
army was exceedingly busy west of

and the French were maintaining n
continuous pressure on both sides of

the further retirement of tho Huns
who still remnlned south of the Alsne
between Noufchntel and Vouzleres.
The American air service on the
front of the First nrmy clearly dem
onstrated Its superiority during the
week. Huge aggregations of bombing
planes contlnunlly flew over the en
emy front lines, communications, back

One painful result of the Germnn

ingly slow In coming In. All tho agen

doubled their efforts and the American
public was loudly warned that the
Hun peace talk must be disregarded
and the money must be raised. Uncle

PROPER CARE OF PATIENTS
Surgeon General Blue Tells What to
Do for Persons Sick With Spanlth
Influenza Use of Gauze

Washington. In an effort to rediuo
unnecessary culls on the over-worked
physicians throughout the country be
cause of tho present eplde;.i-o of in
fluenza, Surgeon General Uiuo of tho
United States public health service
calls upon the people of the country to
learn soiiojtlilng uliout the home care
of patients 111 with Influenza. Phy
Mcluns everywhere have complained
about the large number of unnecessa
call.s they have had to make beemfso
of the Inability of many people to tlls
tlnmilsli between the cases lequliing
'.Xpert medical enro and those which
could readily be cared for without u
physician. With Influenza continuing
to spiead In many parts of the coun
try, and with nn acute shortage of doc
tois nnd nurses everywhere, every un
necensnry call on either physicians or
nurses makes It so much harder to-
meet the urgent needs of the patients
who are scrloiejy III.
Present Generation Spoiled.
"The present generation," said the
surgeon general, "has been spoiled by
having hnd expert medical nnd nursing
care readily available. It was not so
in the days of our grandmothers, when
uery good housewife was expected to
know a good deal about the cure of tho
sick.
"Every person who feels skit and
nppears to he developing nn uttuck
of influenza should at onco be put to
bed in a well-ventilated room, ff his
bowels have moved regularly, It Is not
necessary to give a physic; where a
physic Is needed, a dose of castor oil
or Itochelle 'salts should be given.
"The room should be cleared of all
unnecessary furniture, brlc-a-brac, ami
j rugs. A wash basin, pitcher, and slop
bowl, soap and towel should lie at
I bund, preferably In the room or just
outsldo the door.
"If the patient Is feverish a doctor
should be called, and this should bo
done In any case if tlie putlent appears
very sick, or coughs up pinkish (blood
stained) sputum, or breathes rapidly
and painfully.
"Most of the pntlents cough up con
siderable mucus; In some, Uiere l
much mucus discharged from the nose
and thront. This material should not
he collected In hnndkerchlcfH, but
ruther In bits of old rags, or toilet pa
per, or on paper napkins. As soon u
used, these rng.s or papers should be
placed In a paper bag kept beside the
bed. Pocket handkerchiefs are out of
place In the sick room and should not
be used by pntlents. The rags or pa
pers In tho paper hag should be burned.
"Tho patients will not be hungry,"
! nnd the diet should therefore be light.
' Milk, it soft-boiled egg, some toast or
crackers, a bit of Jelly or Jam, htcwert
! fruit, some cooked cereal like oatmeal.
, hominy or rice these will sulllce In
, most cases.
Comfort of Patient.
"The comfort of tlie pnticnt depends
on n number of little things, mid these,
should not be overlooked. Among
these mny be mentioned a well-ventl-lated
room ; u thoroughly clean bed
with fresh, smooth sheets and pillowy
cases; quiet, so that refroihlng sleep
may be bad; cool drinking wuter con
veniently plnced ; a cool compress to
the forehead tf there Is headache;
keeping the patient's hands and face
clean, nnd the hnlr combed; keeping
his mouth clean, prefernbly-wlth some,
pleasant mouth wash; letting the pa-'
tlent know that someone Is within callr.
but not annoying him with too inacli
fussing; giving the pntlent plenlj or
opportunity to rest nnd sleep.
"It Is advisable to give the sick room
a good airing several times a day.
"So much for the patient. It lRt
equally Important to consider the per
son who Is caring for htm. It la Im-'
portnnt to remember that the disease
Is spread by breathing germ-laden rant
ter sprayed Into the air by the patient
In coughing or even In ordinary breath
ing. The nttendant tliould therefore
wear a gauze mask over her mouth
and nose while she Is In the sick room.
Such a mask Is easily made by folding
a piece of gauze four fold, sewing n
' piece of tupe at the four cornerH, nnd
tying the upper set of tupea over thei
oars, the lower Bet around tho neck.
If the folded piece of gauze Is about
alx Inches square U will nicely cover
both mouth nnd nose. Such u mask.
can bo worn without discomfort for
I several hours, after which it can boy
boiled In water, dried and used over

"The attendant should, If pos.slbj
