SPREADING OVER EUROPE
OXFORD STUDENTS IMMUNE
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright,
LONDON, January 23. Sir Percy Sargent, surgeon to the National Hospital and to St. Thomas’s Hospital, is the latest victim to influenza, which is spreading over Europe, and is raging in Northern France and Brittany. Football matches have been cancelled throughout Britain owing to the illness of playero, and small shops are displaying notices: “Closed owing to influenza.”
A curious sidelight is that the Oxford undergraduates have escaped, though most of the college servants are victims.
