whole line. The restrictions here under
our control are necessary to prevent the In

"COMBE, Health Officer"
CORPUS CHRISTI, September 20-Murray
telegraDhs me that he thinks there Is no
fever above his Gordon. The whole Mexi-
can side Is infected to Mier. We think there
is 10 danger south of us, but there is great
danger from the upper Rio Grande, as fami-
lies crossed from Meir before the fever was
reported. Some came as far as San Diego,
but were stopped by our guards. 1t is too
late now TO move this Gordon, and it should
be strengthened from San Diego TO Laredo.
II this line is not strong, the fever will ex-
tend to the Southern Texas coast towns.
