EIGHTY ESKIMOS DEAD

Toby Reid Among the Nome Victims; Why It Is Nec-

essary Wear Masks Is Explained.

SEATTLE. Nov. 12.—It Is reported that 80 Eskimos have died In Nome of influenza.

Out of 153 passengers on the Vic- toria from Nome taken to the hos- pital here suffering from the disease, 13 have died. Among them was

Toby Reid.

DR. TELLS WHY MASKS ARE USEFUL

A San Francisco paper has the following to say about the value of wearing masks, which was handed to the Empire to be published:

The reason why the “flu" mask Is sure death to the numerous germ family that is spreading its kultur over the country was explained by Dr. WoodB Hutchinson recently to an audience of 2000 students and educa- tors at the Hearst Greek Theater at the University of California.

“The influenza germ cannot live at any temperature but that of the hu- man body,” said Dr. Hutchinson. “A variation of five degrees one way or the other finishes it immediately. The mask keeps it out in the cold and disposes of it quickly.

“If San Francisco has less than 65,000 cases the fact is due to the loyalty of citizens in wearing masks.

“The present epidemic first ap- peared in Germany. It wrought havoc with the Kaiser’s troops there last February and was responsible for holding up the drive that did not materialize until March.

“In France 2000 people died of it

A PRINCESS IN THE HORSE SHOW

P. A. P. Iiamsdell, of I’oweltou Farm, at Newlnirg. ,\. 1.. has enieret. htt chptnut saddle mare Princess In the coming horse show at New York,

matt the b«t ones la the country in the content foi the chain-

and in England 3000. It seems to be more virulent in the United States than in any other country that so far has been afflicted. It was brought to this country by sailors from Eu rope landing at Boston. Its first serious effects were noticed at Camp Devon.

“The epidemic has run its course

in Europe, but has not yet finished its work in this country. It seems

to sweep everywhere until it has taken in every one who is susceptible and then it dies out.

“Science records five epidemics of this variety of influenza. The first was during the Napoleonic war. The others came in 1830, 1860 and 1889. The origin of the disease is obscure. It is believed to have come first from Central Asia. Science has not yet solved tho mystery of what becomes of it during the interim between

epidemics. “When you get it; stay in bed, eat j

moderatelv. keep warm and get plenty of fresh air.”

The telegram follows: "Territorial Council of Defense:

"Juneau, Alaska. “I earnestly beg you not to relax

your efforts in the slightest degree on account of the possibility of an

early armistice, even if an armistice should be concluded, this does not mean that, the war is over and in any case the emergency will not be over for a long time. Most of the work which you have been called on

to perform must go on undiminished, and I hope every man and woman in the Council of Defense System will stay on the Job. In a few days will write you as to the outlook fur fit ture work.

“(Signed) FRANK K. LANK, Chairman Field Divi- sion Council of Na- tional Defense.”

The Territorial Council of Defense has not held regular meeting recent-

ly, but has held itself ready to meet on call. Chairman Clark announces

that he is always ready to call a

meeting when the council has any- thing to consider, or at the request of any member who has anything that he desires to bring before it.

KITE BALLOONS TOWED TO SEA

BY DESTROYERS ON HOARD AMERICAN DE-

STROYER, AMERICAN PORT IN FRANCE, Nov. 12.—Kite balloons towed at sea by destroyers are one

of the odd devices used to aid in the hunt for Hun submarines. A winch brings down the balloon to within twelve feet of the deck, so that the observers, throwing out a Jacob’s ladder, descend for their usual meals at a change of watch. Within the wire cable leading to the gas-bag is a telephone wire by which the ob- server keeps in communication with the deck.

The American naval aeronauts are doing splendid work in the bal loons, and Ensign P. .1. Ilarnea hat established a new record for remain- ing in the air in a kite balloon.
