Home from the Atlantic Fleet

Cecil Jones left Tuesday for an
Atlantic port to resume his duties
aboard a naval vessel after a stay
of two weeks at home. While here
he made application for an exten
sion of his furlough, which was
granted, but unfortunately it failed
to arrive before his departure on
the return trip. Life in the navy
is the life Cecil thinks, and his trip
home completed for him the cir
cling of the globe. He gave an in
terestipg account of his experiences
since leaving here to join the sea
forces of the nation.

The Influenza Situation

Washington, Oct, rs, Cortin-
ued Improvement in the influenza
situation in army camps and in a
number of states was shown by
reports received yesterday by the
surgeon-general of the army and
the public health service. New
cases in army camps totalled only
2733, with 327 deaths.
The disease now is epidemic at
only three camps, Lewis, Washing
ton; Mcclellan, Alabama, and
Kearney, California.
States where the number Of new
cases reported shows decrease in
clude Connecticut, Delaware, New
Jersey, Indiana, Maryland. Mis-
souri,, Nevada, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, Oregon, South Caro-
lima, Tennessee and WISCONSIN. In
portions of other states improve
ment has been shown and for the
country at large the prospect of the
increase in the epidemic is over.
Conditions are still serious in
some states, particularly Colorado,
Iowa, Kentucky, Kansas, Mime
sofa, Nebraska and New Mexico.
It is estimated that there are 1885,
900 cases in Ohio, with $4,000 at
Cincinnati. In Minnesota bad out
breaks have been reported at St.
Cloud, Minneapolis and some other
places.
The effect of the epidemic on the
railroads was shown by the rail
road administration S weekly re-
port of traffic conditions. Illness
of railroad men interfered seriously
with freight movement and unload
ing. Repair work at RAILROAD shops
also has been hampered, while
decrease in passenger. traffic was
noted.
Reports that the influenza germs

Gently returned from New York
where he went on patriotic business
in connection with State Council of

was investigating the CO ito n

greatly impressed with the showing
made by fabric for balloon and air

performed at the mill by the gov
ernment.
While in New York Mr.. Heard
took an evening off and made the
rounds of the War Camp Co1nmu-
nifty service establishments there,
that is, as many of them as he
could inspect in night. OF this
trip he said:
''The prime feature of this ser
vice is that instead ofcreating new
agencies it utilizes existing organ
izations in it's work. For instance
we went first to a canteen located
in the roof garden of an ethical
society overlooking Central Park;
then to an up-to-date lodging unit
in Jewish synagogue; then to a
club room furnished by the Har-
ward club. In fact, this movement
