 There are innumerable cases of lagrippe, pneumonia, acute rheuma- tism, tonsilitis and the like being treated by the doctors of our corps and many other cases have been re- ported by individual physicians"
 Dr. Dupuy also stated that the city has been divided into six sanitary districts, each in charge of an off cer of the sanitary corps of the na- tional guard. As 1t will be several weeks before the sewer system is in operation again, large corps of men will be, kept active disposing of refuse and in disinfecting all premises occupied by refugees. Strict orders regarding the disposition of garbage have been issued and the people have been ad- vised by means of bulletins posted in conspicuous places in the streets how best to preserve the public health. A small army of sanitary inspec- tors has been pressed into service and every effort will be made to pre- vent any outbreak of a pestilence. It was owning to the frightful flood con ditions throughout the entire terri tory of which Dayton is the heart, rendering transportation facilities of all kinds useless, that supplies for the medical corps did not reach here until several days after the flood broke. Several cars of lime already have reached the city and many more are enroute from various points and arrangements for placing sani- tary measures in the hands of fed eral officials were completed at the conference between Secretary Of War Garrison, Maj Gen. Leonard Wood, Surgeon Gen. Rupert Blue and the local relief committee, headed by John. H. Patterson. After Secre- tary Garrison had talked over the telephone with Gov. Cox, he decided that while the state militia would be able 10 police the city the federal government should have charge Of the sanitation.
 MT. Garrison stated that Maj. Thos. Rhodes with cooperation with Maj. Normoyle, would have charge in Day ton. Maj. Normoyle had experience in furthering relief in the Mississippi flood district last year.
 Secretary Garrison gave out the substance of his telegram to Presi- dent Wilson as follows:
 "I find the situation at Dayton to be as follows:
 s4The flood has subsided so that they have communication with all parts of the city, no one being now in any position of peril or without food or shelter The National Cash Register plant has been turned into a supply depot and lodging place for tbose who have no other present place.
 Surgeon Gen. Blue and some of his officers are here, as are also some naval sergeons. We are all working in concert. The governor, the mayor, the local committees, and the citizens have all expressed much gratitude at the action of the nation al government and have welcomed us warmly, all of them stating that the the fact that a direct hospital has been sent to their community has been of the greatest benefit to the morals of the situation.
 l find a competent force Is already organized to clean up the streets re- move the debris and do general work of that description and have agreed to work under the direction of the army surgeon l leave in charge of sanitation. The national guards have their adjutanr general, George H. Wood, here in command of the military situation and he has cordif ally offered to cooperate in every way with our work of sanitation.
