(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.25 a.m.) LONDON, December 14.
The influenza epidemic is spreading rapidly in German-controlled Northern Italy, reports a British United Press correspondent on the Italian frontier. Already thousands of Italians have died, and the death-roll may rise to unprecedented figures. Hundreds of thousands of Italian men, women and children, bombed out of their homes, are living in the open, in temperatures five to eight degrees below freezing point.. They lack adequate medical equipment and proper food. Over 32,000 cases are reported in Milan alone. Hospitals everywhere are jammed with the most serious cases. The Germans are ruthlessly abandoning Italian civilians to their fate. Thousands of German soldiers arriving in Northern Italy are receiving priority treatment immediately 'they become victims.
