IL (By Mall) Honolulu, Haw-ai-l thus far has entirely escaped the Spanish Influenza, which has been epidemic over most of the world. With reports of the ravages of the disease reaching here from both sides of the Pacific, the states and Japan and Siberia, every precaution was taken to keep it out of the Islands. A number of trans-Pacifi- liners with the influ- c enza on board were held in close quarantine while in port, although a few critical cases were taken to local and a large number of the crew of a Japanese liner were treated here , a until, they recovered. An epidemic was particularly dreaded here because of the high mortality it undoubtedly .would have caused among the native HawSiians, who are peculiarly susceptible to Influenza and related diseases. ho-pltal- s Will Dissolve Draft Boards.
