PRESS COMMENT The Graham Case References to what someone in Washington, ,who must have had a very fragmentary knowledge of the casc'fcay' 'itbottt 'Vermont and " Ver monters, are in bad taste. No one can feel worse about the situation than those who have been closest to Governor Horace Graham, and, so far as The XJcrald knows, no one in such relationship would presume for a moment to demand anything but com-1 plctc and impartial justice. The Graham case is now in the courts, and the trial of the former auditor.' on the charges reported by the," grand jury will proceed in an orderly and lawful manner. When the end of that trial comes, The Her ald Relieves that - full justice will have been done and that some of those who criticized public officials and publicists in connection there with may see a new light.

HEALTH SERVICE i ISSUES WARNING Increase in All Respiratory Dis ' eases After the Influenza Epidemic Probable. Influenza Expected to Lurk for Months. How to Guard Against Pneumonia. Common Colds Highly Catching Im portance of Suitable Clothing Could Save 100,000 Lives. fWashington, D. C. With the subsid ence of the epidemic of influenza the attention of health officers is directed to pneuinonia, bronchitis onu .other diseases" of the respiratory system whicht' regularly cause a large number of deaths, especially during the winter season. According to Itupert Blue, Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service, these diseases will, be especially, prevalent this win ter unless the people are particularly careful to obey health instructions. "The present epidemic," said Sur geou General Blue, "has taught by bit ter experience how readily n condition beginning apparently as a slight cold may go on to pneumonia and death. Although the worst, of the epidemic is over, there will continue to be a large number of scattered cases, many of them mild and unrecognized, which will be danger, spots to be guarded against." The Surgeon General likened the present situation to that after a great fire, saying, "Xo fire chief who understands his business stops playing the hose on the charred debris as soon as the flames and visible fire have dis appeared. On the contrary, he con tinues the water for hours and even days, for he knows that there is dan ger of the fire rekindling from smol dering embers." "Then .vou fear another outbreak of influenza?" he was asked. "Not neces sarily another large epidemic," said the Surgeon General, "but unless the people learn to realize the seriousness of tho danger they will be compelled to pay a heavy death toll from pneumo nia and other respiratory diseases. Common Coids Highly Catching. "If. is encouraging to observe that people are beginning to learn that'or 'dinary coughs and colds are highly catching and are spread from person to person by means of droplets of 'germ laden mucus. Such droplets are sprayed into the air when careless or ignorant people cough or sneeze with out covering" their niomh and nose. It :is also good to know that people have ilearned something about the value of 'fresh air. In summer, when people iare largely out of doors, the respira tory diseases (coughs, colds, . pneumo nia, etc.) are infrequent; in the fall, as people begin to remain indoors, the respiralory diseases increase r in the winter, -when people are prone to stay in badly ventilated, overheated rooms, tbe respiratory diseases become very prevalent. , Suitable Clothing Important. "Still another factor in the produc tion of colds, pne'-: i.nia and other re spiratory diseases i.f carelessness or ig norance of th- people regarding suit able clothing during the seasons when 'the. weather suddenly changes, sitting in warm rooms too heavily dressed or, what is even more common, especially among women, dressing so lightly that windows .jure kept closed In order to he conuortaoiy, warm, jurious practice.

GERMAN DEVILTRY KEPT UP TO THE EAST All Sorts of Electrical Contrivances to Maim the Allies ' - With the British-American Armies, Nov. 10, (Correspondence of The As sociated Press) German deviltry seemed to know no bounds in the last , days of -. the, fighting on the "British front after the Hindenburg , line had . been shat tered. They attached grenades to the, bodies of dead Huns left behind in the "German retreat, so that When the bodies were lifted the grenades exploded,' killing of wounding the bearers. Near the town of Le Cateau,a num ber of Australian stretcher-bearers were killed by grenades in attempting to , remove some German dead from the field in front, of an Ameri can machine-gun position. , Thereaf ter no Australians would be put a hand on a dead German. In some cases the bodies wrere dragged to their burial places by means of a long rope which allowed the stretch er-bearers to keep out of range of any exploding hand-grenades. The Americans, on the other hand, hit upon the plan of making the Ger main prisoners bury their own dead. ln once instance a Boche prisoner was summarily shot, because he re fused to remove the body of one of his dead companions An examina tion of the body later led to the dis covery that it was mined.- The Ger man was aware of this fact and re fused to touch it. In one small town evacuated by the Germans, many of the beds were found to be mined. An American of ficer, tired and worn by a long and hard fighting, sought rest on a lounge in a room previously occupied by German officer. The lounge blew up and he was instantly killed, Another officer picked up a pair of field-glasses left by the Germans and was, adjusting the focus when the glasses exploded in his hands and blew away a part of his face. The Huns had become adept in the nefarious business of making infernal machines, mines and time fuses, and there was scarcely an area where the i electrical and engineering experts of the Allies did not find some new form of their fiendish ingenuity, GREENSBORO J.
