MEASLES EPIDEMIC
AMONG THE SOLDIERS
Men Not Allowed to Go of Military
Reservation and All Announcement
Houses Closed.

Camp Sewer, Greenville, Nov. l6
Maj. L. D. Gasser, acting chief of
staff, Thirtieth Division, authorized
the following statement tonight:
"Due to an epidemic of measles
and some few cases of pneumonia
and meningitis, the soldiers will be
quarantined and not permitted to
leave the reservation nor to visit
Greenville, Camp Sewer or Paris.
Gall amusement houses in the re,
servation will be suspended and moi
permitted to open, including the Y
M. C. A. buildings, the Knights OF
Columbus hall, the "Hostess House
and any other such buildings. The
post exchanges will be closed so. fal
as allowing men to enter. They vii
be required to make openings sc
that the men can be served on the
outside. The usual program of in
struction administration and supply
will be carried on.
"This quarantine does not pro
hibit visitors from entering thu
camp, the object being to prevent
men from gathering in closed build
ings.. The quarantine goes into ef
feet Saturday morning."
Major Caesar stated over the tel
ephone that the situation was mo-
considered serious, but that the
quarantine had been decided upor
asa precautionary measure. 1t i:
Ilbelieved that the disease will be en-
tirely eradicated in this way in the
shortest possibletime. The length
of the quarantine, Major Gassel
thinks, will depend entirely on tht
cooperation the men accord the au
thorities. The quarantine, sweeping
in its nature, will be rigidly enforc
ed and applies to officers as we'll a:
men.

AUSTRIANS MURDERED
FOR BEING PATRIOTIC
Purchasers of Liberty Bonds and
Subscribers to Red Cross Slain

Virginia, Mimi, Nov. 16.-Three
Austrians, woman, and two men,
were murdered here last night, the
police say, because they had sub
scribed to the Liberty loan and Red
Cross funds. They were Mr.. and
Mrs. Paul Alar and Peter Trepich
a boarder in the Alar house. The
skull of each had been crushed with
an axe while the victims slept and
each body mutilated with knife.
On a kitchen table in the home of
the Alars was note, written in an
Austrian dialect, reading:
"This. is what you get for being
against the kaiser. You have donat-
ed to the Red Cross and you have
said the kaiser could go to hell.
Don't look for us, for anyone who
does will get the same dose"
Red Cross and Liberty loan pur-
chase signs generally displayed here
although the community has a large
Austrian population, disappeared
from the windows of Austrian resi-
dents today.
The Alars were each 38 years of
age and Trepich was go years old.
The men were miners.
