Reports from the east coast Sun
 day evening disclose that the epidem-
 ic situation is practically the same at
 all points with the exception of
 Chinik, where the malady has appar-
 entity gained a foothold in spite of the
 quarantine regulations instituted by
 the health committee shortly after the
 influenza appeared in Nome. No
 new cases have appeared at Solomon.
 and Bluff, White Mountain, Film and
 other settlements are apparently free
 of the disease. Council City reports
 that the quarantine regulations estab-
 lished shortly after the influenza de-
 veloped here have so far been effect
 i've and no cases have appeared up to
 the present. Most of the settlements
 are maintaining a strict quarantine and no travellers are allowed to enter
 or depart. The mail carriers are also
 barred from entering the communal confines at many points, being com- pelled to leave the consignments on lthe ice. The situation at Chinik pre-
 sents a rather disquieting outlook.
 however, as the disease appears to persons, ali of whom were natives. were reported ill Saturday and three deaths had occurred, the decedents be- ing one elderly woman and two child ren. By Saturday night the disease had made such progress that the death list had amounted to a total of | twelve, seven adults and five children, all of whom were apparently natives as the reports failed to designate any of the white population being in- volved.
 The local situation appears greatly improved and the number of active cases reported is very small. Quite a number are ill as a result of compli- cations but the number of patients in the two hospitals is decreasing daily and those remaining are progressing nicely, only one or two being still in a serious condition. No deaths have occurred for some days and the out look is excellent for the early recov l cry of all who are afflicted.
 Mail Contractor Langley arrived Saturday evening with a small quan- tity of outside mail of October dis patch and also some way matter. The shipment consisted of two pouches The outside mail matter was forward ed within a short time after the de- parture of the Victoria from Seattle and the small quantity is probably due to the early dispatch. The local mail officials say they expect that the inext incoming shipment will probably be good sized one.
 Arrangements are being made to lbury the natives who died at Eldorado river during the height of the epi- demic and the services of several men have been secured to undertake the task, which up to tn present has been Impossible owing to the scarcity of healthy workers. According to earli- CT reports close to thirty natives per ished at that point while the flu was raging. 2

Owing to the danger of spreading the influenza to other sections as yet untouched by the disease, the first dispatch of mail for the States and the interior has again been postponed and the time of departure is at pres ent somewhat problematical. The in- itial shipment over the winter route was scheduled to depart today but the authorities decided Saturday to with hold shipment until the epidemic situ- ation is more favorable. The pre-. caution is a commendable one and will win the approval of all who re- alize the gravity of doing aught which may spread the influenza to other communities which have so far been spared. Whatever inconvenience may be caused will, in the minds of right thinking people, be more than compensated for by the knowledge that the correspondence delays en- tailed may result in many lives being saved and much suffering avoided The telegraph lines are open and ur- gent business need not be delayed in the slightest degree. Other cocres- pondence which may jeopardize hu- man lives can well be delayed.

 On receiving the report, Dyfed Ev- ans, acting superintendent of the Bureau of education, at once sought the services of volunteers to the num- Der of eight or ten to go to the relief of the afflicted ones and also made ar rSngements for additional medical supplies and other relief to leave Sun- day.

TELEGRAPH SYSTEMS
SOON IN j. s. CON Troll

Washington, July IS. - Prepara-
tions for taking over lines immedi-
ately were under way today at the
postoffice department though the
probable action of President Wilson,
which the activities apparently fore
cast were not officially discussed.
The resolution authorizing the as
sumption of control over telegraph
telephone. cable and radio establish
ments by the president during the
war was signed today by presiding
officers of the house and senate and
transmitted at once TO the White
House. Belief in official circles is
that Postmaster General Burlcson
will be assigned to execute such
powers as the president uses under
the measure and that the taking
over of telegraph trunk lines will
come in the very near future.
1t was understood today that de
termination had not been reached
by the administration as 10 the
length the government should go in
operating wire communications. par
ticularly as to the advisability OF TAX
ing over telephone service.

Washington, July 10. - President
Wilson again abandoned his usua
morning round OF golf today and
remained at the White House, hear
ing reports from the front as they
came in. He was up late last nigh
following both official and unoffi
cial advices closely.
Early reports OH renewal of the
fighting show that the American
troops are again engaged heavily
but have restored their positions on
the Marine even more fully than
during the counter attack which
drove the Germans back to the riv-
er last night. Two of the towns
from which the Americans were
forced in the first German rush in
to the exposed position in the river
bend opposite Jaulgonne have been
recaptured.
To the east the Germans appear
to have forced their way across the
Marine on a considerable distance
in the DormanS sector.
1t is believed here, however, that
if the American positions on the
flank are maintained the Germans
east of them will be in great peril.
A successful counter stroke along
the river bank heading eastward
from the American positions might
cut them off frcI the river and
force the surrender OF whole organ

Franc O. Italians Battling.
Farther east the French reports
indicate that Franco Italian forces
are holding stubbornly along a line
generally about two miles back of
their original positions. SO far no
definite progress toward encom-
passing Rheims from the west and
east has been male by the enemy,
despite lavish employment of re-
serves.
Officers here are inclined to look
upon the fighting east of Rheims as
more of a diversion than a real at
tack. Without doubt it would have
been pressed had it met with sue
cess, but its real purpose is thought
to have been to draw French re-
serves in that direction while the
line from Rheims to the Marne was
pounded back
The fact that the battle is going
forward with increased intensity
west of Rheims today indicates that
fresh German reserves were rushed
up to this front during the night in
effort to overcome the check ad-
ministered yesterday by the Franco
Italian forces. Apparently this sec
tor including the Marne crossing in
the Dormans region, is the vital
part of the German battle plan, and

WOMAN ACCUSED OF
SECURING MONEY UNDER
FALSE PRETENSE

a woman who gives her name as
Ethel Reeder, is in the county jail
with held for investigation written
opposite her name on the Jail rec
ord.
She arrived in Ardmorc last Fri
day night and went to the Travellers
hotel. Later she turned up at the
Gladys and was found last night by
Jim Carter, deputy sheriff, at the
Palace hotel.
She has been about these three
hotels since Friday and much of her
time has been spent in automobile
riding. Yesterday She telephoned,
to Tate Glenn, asking to see him, as
she said she was the daughter OF a
Mason and was in distress. to Mr..
Glenn, who is prominent in Masonic
circles, she said her name is Mrs. K.
c. Tucker and that he husband is
in the aviation service, at Waco,
Texas; that her father is cattle
man at Miami and that she left there
four weeks ago and went to see her
husband, and on returning was ad
vised that her father had sold out
at Miami and was movin gto Ard
more and that she expected to meet
him here. She said she had torn her
dress ard was in 4 strange place,
where size could not be identified so
as to get a check cashed. She said
she waited a dress and pair OF
shoes and IS for expenses until she
could communicate with her father
or husband. She purchased a dress
for S27. so. a pair Of shoes and Sc
cured $5 in cash, a total of some
thing over $35, for which sum Mr..
Glenn gave her his check. She in
turn gave him her personal check
for the amount, to hold until she
heard from her father or until he
reached here.
Several things occurred following
that to .ead Mr.. Glenn to believe
all was not right and he called i'm
Carriers attention to the matter.
Carter had observed the woman on
the str.ots for several days, and
last night located her at the Palace.
She told him her husband was IN
the army and stationed at Camp
Bowie. She had registered at one OF
the hotels as Nema GoldSby. At the
GLADYS she entered the room OF
man located next to her room and
asked permission to write letter.
After writing it she asked him to
stamp and mail it for her, which he
did. The letter was addressed to
r. c. Tucker, Waco, Texas, at the
aviation camp there.
At the Palace hotel last night she
told Deputy Carter that she could
refer him to Tate Glenn; that Mr..
Glenn was representing her in her
business affairs; that she would call
Mr.. Glenn. The officer left to go
to see another party and as soon as
he had lef. the hotel the woman
engaged 4 service car to take her
to the oil field. She promised to pay
the driver $l2 for the trip. The car
went west on Third avenue n. w"
TO the west line OF the city before
turning north. Deputy Carter found
he was about seven miles behind
them ard returning telephoned to
Writ to have the woman apprehend-
ed. She left here at $50 last night
and at 2:30 o'clock this morning
EN- Bates arrested her and brought
her to the county Jail, arriving here
It about 5 o'clock.
Complaint was filed against her in
Justice Franklin Bourland's court
his forenoon where she is named as
Mrs. Tucker, and she is charged |
