Says Asiatic Flu Pattern Alarming SPRINGFIELD, pidemic outbreaks of Asiatic in- uenza which have appeared reentry In various parts of the United States have all the earmarks of the pattern which pre- eded the devastating epidemic "Spanish" influenza on the Vorth American continent in 918, according to a report lo lov. William G. Stratton by Dr. Roland R.

Cross, director it the Illinois Department of 'ublic Health. "It appears likely," Dr. Cross aid, "that Asiatic influenza now appearing sporadically througn- iut the country in a mild form vill become generally epidemic ater this year and possibly in a much more severe form than now prevails. It happened that vay in 1918." "Vaccine believed to be ef- ective in preventing the Asia ic strain of influenza is now in production. It is hoped that the vaccine will be plentiful on the narket before widespread epi Jemic develops," Dr.

Cross nddecl. "A plan for tapping and using all available resources to com a serious epidemic of influ enza if one develops is under way," Dr. Cross said. A tech nical committee of medical and other specialists to help the state Department of Public Health pre pare for any eventuality is being organized.

"A large scale epidemic of in 'luenza in the United States dur ng the coming fall and winter is a distinct probability," Dr Cross said. "The disease is like ly to spread rapidly with tin advent of cold weather. It i apt to strike many parts of the state and nation almost simul taneously with only a few week? apse at most between peak prevalence on the eastern ant western seaboards.

There is assurance that the virulence of he influenza virus will not increase so that illness will be much more severe than the rela- ively mild illness caused so far this year by the Asiatic strain now widely disseminated in America. Every possible precaution is being taken to prevent the disease and to be prepared to alleviate suffering if a major epidemic does take place."
