MOTORLESS SUNDAYS
 WILL CONTINUE

Washington, Oct. 5-The end of gaso1eneless Sundays is not in sight yet Dr. Garfield indicated yester- day that the ban might continue in definitely. An appeal from Gov. Mo- Call that the use of motors on Sun days be permitted in Massachusetts as a means of combating the influenza epid omic was refused by Dr. Garfield after Acting Surgeon General Rich ards said this measure would have lit tie if any influence on the spread of the disease. Besides 1t is better ex- ercise to walk, Dr. Garfield thought
 The total available gasolene in the United States outside of California for the week ended September 23, Dr. Garfield announced, was 3,302 ,000 barrels of motor gasolene. This is a decrease from a stock of about Ill., 100000 barrels April 1, and S,000,000 barrels August 1. There are fifty gallons in a barrel
 A notable saving was announced as a result of the almost universal com pliance with the request of the ad- ministration for motorless Sundays. Approximately 800, ,000 barrels, or ten shiploads, have been sent abroad, which could not otherwise have been sent, and in addition gasolene stocks overseas have gained between 150,- 900 and 100000 barrels.

BELGIAN SEA
 BASES DOOMED

Washington, Oct. 5-Naval officers here regard the German submarine bases at Ostend and Zeebrugge doom ed by the advance of the Belgian and British forces, which is squeezing the German line up toward the coast of Holland. The results of the elimina ton of these bases will be far reach ing and of prime importance
 The first and in some respects the chief advantage which the nations as- sociated against Germany will derive will be the opening up of the North Sea north of the Straight of Dover. British, French and American naval craft will be in position to assist effectively land forces near the coast of Belgium without the menace from the U-boats heretofore based in the vicinity.
 It will be possible also to estab- fish more direct avenues of water communication between England and Sir Douglas Haig's forces. Supplies can be landed on the Belgian coast and sent by a short route to the Brit ish army.
 Operations of the U-boats against shipping necessarily will not be
 checked to any marked extent be- cause most of the submarines reach 1 British waters from Germany via the northern route.
