 The favorable reports for the past day or two have wonderfully cheered the people: ali seem to think that the backbone of the terrible epidemic is broken, and that in one or two months time the city will be restored to its pristine glory. The distress here is as ! great as ever, though earnest efforts are being made to supply all needy persons There seem to be scores of needy and dis tressed families, however, that can only be reached by private charity which is being exercised freely.

 The reports of insubordination on the part of the Red Cross nurses winch have been sent north are likely to lead to an invest igation, One of the nurses under arrest had under her charge sixteen patients, and was asked to take care also of another patient who lived some distance away on the other side of a swampy wood. She was asked to make four trips each night to this patient. She made one trip along lonely road alive with moe casins, and found four patients in the house With two nurses She immediately asked why these nurses could not give the other patient the required attention, and returned to her sixteen sufferers. When she declined to make the other trips demanded of her she was arrested and is now at Camp Perry. She is New York woman.
 Another ease is even more notable A nurse was sent to a sick woman and foun nd that the patient was about to become a mother. Utterly unskilled in obstetsrcs and fearing that the woman might die the nurse asked that q physician might be summoned.
 If you send for one" said policeman, 1T will arrest you"
 "I will take my chances" said the nurse, and she summoned a doctor The officer, however, was good as his threat and the nurse is now detained prisoner at Camp Perry. These are only a few of the cases which have been reported at the headquarters of the Red Gross in this city.
