Fight Upon Influenza
Must Not Be Relaxed,
Says Surgeon General
Washington, Dec. 16. The dan
ger of relaxing efforts to check the
spread of influenza was emphasized
again today by Surgeon General
Blue of .the public health service.
"The epidemic is not ended," the
surgeon general said. "Any state
ment at the present time-that the
epidemic has 'come and gone for
good can only do harm, for it will
lull people into a false sense of se
curity and cause them to relax the
precautions they should take to
avoid the infection."

the war, therefore, they entered it j
not only because they were moved
by a conviction that the purposes of j
the central empires were wrong and
must be resisted by men everywhere '
who loved liberty and the right, but j
also because the illicit ambitions j
which they were entertaining and I
attempting to realize had led to i

as much as they offended our prin
ciples. "Our resolution was formed be
cause we knew how profoundly great
principles of right were affected, but
our hearts moved also with our reso
lution. "You have been exceedingly gen
erous in what you have been gra
cious enough to say about me, gen
erous far beyond my personal de
serts, but you have interpreted with
real insight the motives and resolu
tion of the people of the United
States. Whatever influence 1 exer
cise, whatever authority I speak vitl
I derive from them. I know what
they have thought. 1 know what
they have desired and when I have
spoken what I know was in theif
minds it has been delightful to see
how the consciences and purposes of
free tnen everywhere responded.
We have merely established our
right to the full fellowship of those
peoples here and throughout the
world who reverence the right of
genuine liberty and justice.
Community of Ideals.
"You have made me feel very
much at home here, not merely by
the delightful warmth of your wel
come, but also by the manner in
which you have made me realize
to the utmost the intimate commun
ity of thought and ideals which char
acterizes your people and the great
nation which I have the honor for
the time to represent. Your wel
come to Paris I shall always re
member as one of the unique and
inspiring experiences of my life, and
while I feel that you are honoring
the people of the United States in
my person, I shall nevertheless car
ry away with me a very keen per
sonal gratification in looking back
upon these memorable days.
"Permit me to thank you from a
full heart."
