Pensacola Journal.


Washington, Nov. 24.-The cpl
dennic of measles, which has been
quite severe at Camp Wheeler, Macon,
Georgia, where the national guard
troops of Alabama, Florida and Geor-
gia are in training camps, Is rapidly
reeeding and it's ravapes are about
spent, it was asserted here today by
Colonel F. p. Reynolds chief of the
sanitary corps, United States army.
THE measles epidemic at Camp
Wheeler, and in fact at almost al
the other camps in the south. where
the southern national army men and
national guardsmen are CHARTERED, is
now dying ont very rapidly for want
of further material said Colonel
Reynolds today.
"The majority of the men who did
not have measles in their childhood
have had it since going to the train
ing camps: This, leaves comparative
iy, few men remaining who are sue
ceptibfe to the diteass, hence the
measles cases may be expected de-
crease from week. to week, ard in q
few months measles will entirely DIS.
appear from the records Of the train
ing camps. TMa nceasels cases &c
Camp Wheeler reached their highest
record during the week ending Ne
vember 17thf and the disease Is now
abating JUDGING from the war depart
ment records. During the week end
ing November 9th there were TAO new
cases of measles reported at Camp
Wheeler; during the week ending No
vemheri 10th it increased to 975 new
measels cases and during the week
ending November oath there were
only 496 new measles cases reported.
There was a total Of LII in the
hospital with measles during the.
week ending November 18th and this
was reduced to 769 during the week
ending November oath. SURGEON
General Gorgas left Washington
Wednesday night for Camp Wheeler
to personally inspect the hospital ar
rangements there, complaint HAVING
been that hospital conditions were
bad as lax. It was explained at
General Gorpas Office today that the
swapping of the Camp Wheeler med
ical officers with over eleven hundred
cases of measles alone was sufficient
to cause some DISCRIMINATION. A
large number of additional nurses
have been sent there and there are
ample supplies of cots, warm cloth
ing and blankets there, Colonel Rey-
nolds said.

az AssocrA FED PRESS

Washington, Nov. "a. = Definite
news Of the destruction OF another
German submarine by American de-
stroyers reached the navy department
today in q cabled report from Vice
Admiral Sims. The submarine, dam
aged by a depth bomb, went down
with all on board after a destroyer
had attacked q line and was attempt
ing to take her in tow.
Two destroyers took part IN the
action. One, sighting a periscope at
400 yards, headed for it and dropped
a deadly depth bomb. Soon afterward
the submarine came to the surface.
The second destroyer steamed up and
attached line, but the U-boat, ap-
parently shattered by the bomb, went
to the bottom.
Secretary Daniels announced the
report in this statement:
Sims state that a German U boat
has been accounted for by Americas
destroyers operating in European
waters. While on patrol duty, a de-
stroyer sighted a periscope 400 yards
off. Immediately ringing full speed
ahead, the commanding officer headed
his craft to pass . few yards ahead
of the submarine. AS the destroyer
passed over the u boats course, u
depth bomb was dropped. This evil
IDENTIFY caused damage to the U-boat
which shortly afterwards preached
about 500 yards away.
Fire was Immediately opened on
the submarine by two Of our DESTROY
ers which circled about their target.
THE submarine did not return the
fire and was evidently disabled. One
of the destroyers got line to her in
tending to tow her, but the boat soon
sank"

Pressing Hard.
ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY

ASSOC1ATEp fhr~co
Hard fighting continued IN the bat
lie at Cambria Saturday, with the
British pushing deterrainedly north,
ward on the Fontaine- Queant line ano
west of Cambria. Unofficial reports
indicated the probability that Cen
sral Byng's troops had Wrested pour,
Ion wood from the Germans and had
recaptured Moevres. Fontaine, less
than three miles of Cambria, is re-
ported burning, suggesting the prob
ability of an impending German re-
tirenent.
Germans are resisting desperately
the British advance, which is being
pressed energeticaliy on TINS east 10
west front. Fridays attacks were
chiefly delivered at the same front.
Lead all war without date
General Byng has settled down to
a steady push against the German
ines west of Carlbrai after his recent
AMID forward dash, and has made
substantial progress along a front OF
nearly six niles. 1t is now announced
shat more than 100 guns were cap
tured by the British during this Of
fensive, including numerous heavy
pieces
The British pressure Is now being
mainly directed northward on the east
and west line running between For-
tame and Queant. The apparent OBJ
iect Is not only to carry the enclr-
cling movement about Cambria far
Their to the north and east, but to
drive in behind both the former Hin
sienburg line as it bears off to the
north lest, and the Queant- Drocourt
switc.l, thus rendering the latter use
less as a secondary line of defense
against an attack from the west
In this operation valuable high
ground around the dominating Bur-
ION wood to the west of Cambria was
taken yesterday and progress was
made further west on both SIDES OF
The Canal du Nord, near Moeuvres.
Additional Ground also was gained in
the neiphborhood of Buliecourt.
The Italian front is still holding
firmly, although its defense is cost
ing the Italians heavily in men. There
were further efforts by the Austro-
German masses to break through to
the west end of the line between the
Asiago plateau and the Brenta, but
General Diaz's troops successfully
withstood these thrusts. The Pave
river remains intact, and apparently
the enemy efforts to force it are no
longer serious, although Rome today
reports the breaking up by artillery
fire of hostile attempts to lay pom
toons.
In the important mountain front
between the Brenta and the Piave
the struggle Is still desperate one.
No further prorress is claimed by
Berlin in this sector. On the con-
trary. the Italians have been counter
attackino heavily, although Berlin de-
c1ares, without success.
Two American destrovers in the
war zone accounted for German sub
marine recently, it was officially an
,iounced in WASHINGTON. A depth
bomb caused the U-boat to come to
the surface disabled and she sank
soon afterward while DESTROYER with
line attached was attempting to
tow her in.
