SPAIN, WHERE THE OUTBREAK
STARTED, REPORTS DISEASE
STILL GENERAL.
Speeiil Telegram to The Express.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 25. — The
pandemic character of the prevailing influ-
enza contageon is revealed by cable reports
received by the United States Public
Health Service and the State Department
indicating its presence in practically all
the populous centers of the globe.
Word from Spain, where it is believed
the present outbreak originated, states the
disease, with pneumonic complications,
still is general throughout the country.
It is causing increasing fatalities iu I'or-
tugai.
The malady has made its appearance in
various parts of India and has been re-
ported in sections of China. It Is still
epidemic throughout Canada and is said
to be spreading rapldlv in Mexico. The
latter country nas declared a quarantine
against vessels arriving at Mexican ports
from Spain.
The ease with which the infection is
carried by vessels traveling the o.-ean
lanes in every direction is illustrated by
a dispatch from Porto Rico. Two vessels
from New York arrived at San Juan with
more than half of their crews suffering
from the disease.
It. was also brought to Cuba by an Amer-
ican vessel recently ^caching Cienfuegos.
Outbreaks in the Azores, Bermuda and
Brazil also are reported.
Advices to the State Department were
of a similar character A dispatch re-
ceived today said that there were more
than 4,000 cases at the port of Punta I>el-
gado, Azores, which is the scene of activity
on the part of the United States Navy.
Another cable announced that conditions
were so serious in Portugal that the au-
thorities of Lisbon had cjilled upon the
newspapers and public-spirited citizens of
the city to assist in raising funds to alio
viate the suffering, which has become
widespread.
The experience of a vessel arriving at
Lisbon from an African port on October
21 was cited as showing the swiftness and
deadllness of the contageon. An outbreak
occurred aboard the ship after leaving
Africa, and while en route 109 individuals
out of a total of f.17 passengers and mem-
bers of the crew died.
Fuel Administrator announced tonight
that the spread of the epidemic in the
coal fields throughout this country had
been checked. He expresses hope that the
production of coal, which has been cur-
tailed t an alarming degree in some ee<
tions on account or Influenza, soon will
resume its previous high standard.
Administrator <»arfield commends the
United States Public Health Service, the
army and the various State authorities for
their prompt ant efficient response to his
earlier appeals for aid.

Between Oise and Serre Rivers, American*
naval gunners with sixteen guns have
joiued the French in their efforts to ham-
mer their way northeastward toward Hir-
son, one of the keypoint positions in the
German line. American shells from these
guns are being hurled against both Ver
vius and Hozoy. Further progress has
been made by the French in this region,
but only after the hardest kind of fight-
ing.
Likewise on both sides of the Meuse
River the Americans have advanced their
line notwithstanding the strong resistance
of the enemy.
North of lirand Pre, which lies in the
valley above the famous Argonne Forest,
several hills of the utmost importance
from a strategic standpoint have been
taken from the desperately resisting en-
emy machine gunners and artillerists. Nu-
merous violent counter attacks have been
launched by the Germans agamst the
Americans, but all these have been su<
< essfully sustained. The Germans in this
region now are badly outflanked bv the
French standing on the left of the Ameri-
can line at Vouzlers and it is probable
they soon will be compelled to readjust
their line from the north of Vouzlers to
the region of Etain.

that makes it imperatively necessary that
the nation should give its undivided sup-

leadership and that a Republican Con-

may put Austria definitely out of the war
and thus render the allies in a far better
position to talk to Germany. Ibis does
uot mean that the present situation is
one which precludes arrangements for an
armistice, but additional victories and a
sweeping one like the crushing of Aus-
tria would benefit it Immeasureably.
I There was a world of conjecture In the
capital today regarding what would happen
next. The supreme war council of Ver-
sailles is looked to for the next move,
which may be anything from ratification
of the President's peace terms to the grant-
ing of au armistice, and Colonel House,
according to the belief here, will act for
the President on the council. The latter
i has a vote by cable or by a personal rep-
1 resentatlve.
One thing may be taken as certain to-
day, and It is that the deliberation of the
council will enable both the civilized world
and Germany to know that the allies and
the United States are In perfect accord. The
situation Is fraught with such importance
as to not permit, of any discord.

SHIRT SLEEVE DIPLOMACY
OF WILSON IS APPROVED
party are urging you to elect a Republican
In order to back up and support the Presl
dent, but even If they should in this Im-
pose upon some credulous voters on this
side of the water, they would Impose »n
no one on the other side. It Is well under-
stood there as well as here that the Re-
publican leaders desire not so much to
support the President as to control him.
"The peoples of the allied countries
with whom we are associated agalust Ger-
many are quite familiar with the signifi-
cance of elections. They would find it
very difficult to believe that the voters
of the United States had chosen to sup-
port their President by electing to the
Congress a majority controlled by those
who are not in fact in sympathy with
the attitude and action of the adminis-
tration.
"I need not tell you, my fellow coun-
trymen, that I am asking your support
not for my own sake or for the sake of
a political narty, but for the sake of the
nation itself in order that Its Inward unity
of purpose may be evident to all the
world. In ordinary times I would not
fpel at liberty to make such an appeal
to you. In ordinary times divided coun-
sels can be endured without permanent
hurt to the country. But these are not
ordinary times.
"If in these critical days it Is your wish
to sustain me with undivided minds, I
beg that you will say so in a way which
it will not be possible to misunderstand
either here at home or among our asso-
ciates on the other side of tbe sea. I
submit my difficulties and my hopes to
you.
"WODROW WILSON."
The statement issued by Republican
leaders In Congress follows:
"Some time ago the President said 'poll-
tics is adjourned.' Now, In the closing
days of the campaign—delayed by the
united efforts of all parties for the Lib-
erty Loan-now when all public meetings
have been given up owing to the influ
enza epidemic, the President sends out
a direct party appeal, calling upon his
countrymen to vote for Democrats be-
cause they are Democrats, without any
reference to whether such Democrats have
been, or are. In favor of war measures and
have a war record which deserves support.
"If the Republican party controls the
House, we can point out some of the
things they will do. They will replace Mr.
Dent of Alabama, at the head of the Mili-
tary Affairs committee, with Mr. Julius
Kahn, to whom the administration was
obliged to turn for assistance to take
charge of and carry the first draft bill
against Mr. Dent's opposition. They will
put a Republican at the head of the Ways
and Means committee, as leader of the
House, Instead of Mr. Kitchen of North
Carolina, who voted against the war. They
will give the country a speaker who did
not oppose and would never oppose a draft
bill and would never say, as Speaker
Clark did, that 'there is precious little
difference between a conscript and a con-
vict.'
"Although the Republicans of the House
are iu a minority, they cast more actual
votes on seven great war measures than
the Democratic majority was able to do.
What is the record of the Senate? On 51
roll calls on war measures between April
6, 1917, and the 29th of May, 1918, the
votes cast by Republicans In favor of
such measures were 72 per cent, while
only 67 per cent of the votes cast on th3
Democratic side were in favor of such
measures. Those were tbe President's own
measures. Does that record look as if
we had hampered him? The Republican
party in Congress has supported the ad-
ministration policies since the war with
a unamity and au absence of criticism un-
precedented in party history.
"There are some domestic questions
where we should undoubtedly differ from
the course pursued by the administra-
tion. We should not, for example, fix
a price on the farmer's wheat and leave
the planter's cotton untouched. Another
domestic question In which the Republi-
can party believes thoroughly is economic
preparation for the coining of peace and
they are clearly of the opinion that the
Conjyess of the United States should not
be excluded from that great task.

ALTERNATIVE FOR GERMANY
Special Telegram to The Express.
LONDON, Oct. 25.—President Wilson's
"diplomacy in shirtsleeves" has been re-
ceived with a chorus of approval by the
British press. Prolongation of the pour
parlers had excited a certain amount of
impatience In the mind of the general pub-
lic, but the Times points oht that the
American reply "has now placed the onos
of asking for an armistice fairly and
squarely upon the Germans."
The Morning Post says Marshal Foch Is
the only argument Germany understands
and speculates as to "how much more
force will be required before the white
flag arrives at the headquarters of Mar-
shal Foch "
The Daily Telegraph says President Wil-
son's message leaves no room for mis-
understanding. "It is the sort of language
that becomes necessary when one has to
deal with people who Insist upon being
evasive ana tricky in treating a plain
issue and suffer from the unpleasant pollt
leal malady of being too clever by half."
Several papers emphasize the fact that
Germany can now obtain better terms
than she can ever hope to secure again, if
she cuts herself clean off from the influ-
ence of the militarism which has hitherto
controlled her policy.
The Dally Express says: "Democratic
Germany may escape humiliation. The
Kaiser will be bound to the chariot wheels
of a free people."
The Yorkshire Post, which is the repre-
sentative of provincial opinion, points out
that "President Wilson's note amounts to
a demand that Germany shall recognize
her military defeat.''

The. French, it was also noted, were mak-

enemy out of the Oise Serre salleut. Pos-
sibly the thickly placed German reserves
in this sector have been withdrawn to meet

Viewed from a larger perspective, it
appeared possible to some officers that
these two operations might now be com-
pelling such a concentration of enemy re-
serves In the center of the long line from
the Meuse to the sea that the time was
almost at hand when a new blow could be
struck effectively farther east. The Franco-
American armies cast and west of tbe
Meuse have been steadily improving their
tactical positions, it was pointed out, and
there is strong feeling that a new blow of
greater extent than any struck for some
weeks is certain to fajl upon the enemy
forces somewhere on this part of the line

tions.

The solitary adverse criticism of Mr.
Wilson's note appears in the Graphic,
which complains of the length of the docu-
ment, adding:
"At such a crisis bandying words sug-
gests a lack of dignity and creates a loop
hole for further diplomatic wriggling."
The Daily Mail says:
"President Wilson states the terms wltii
a composed dignity worthy of the great
est masters of our language. Autocracy
must surrender or take a beating, anil
her#1 we may leave the peace offensive,
without forgetting to thank Mr. Wilson
for the masterly skill with which he ex
posed Its insincerity."

LONDON. Thursday. Oct. 24.—It is un-
derstood that President Wilson's latent
note to Germany is approved by the allies
and represents, In a general sense, their
views of the situation. It has been er-
roneously assumed that the allies have
been leaving the brunt, of the negotia-
tions to fall on Mr. Wilson, but as a mat
ter of fact, when the Central powers elect-
ed to approach one of the belligerents
singly, the others stood aside in the pre-
liminary stages of the negotiations. Now
that the President has consented to sub-
mit the request for an armistice to the
other bellig rents, there is no questio.i
that individual action will give place to
definitely concerted conduct of the situa-
tion and that the recommendation of the
allies' naval and military commanders will
constitute the joint terms of the asso-
ciated powers. j

"The formula employed by President
