CANCELS THE GALL
 FOR l42,0O0 MEN
6,139 New Cases of Influenza in Camps is Cause of General CrOwder'S ActiOn--EXamina- tiOn of Class 1 Men.

Washington, Sept. 2d.-Because of the epidemic of Spansa influenza in army camps, Provost Marshal Gen eral Crowder tonight cancelled calls for the entrainment between October 2 and II of 142 ,000 draft registrants. During the "A hours ending at noon today 6,139 new cases of in fluenza in army camps had been re- ported to the office of the surgeon general of the army. One hundred and seventy deaths, resulting chiefly from pneumonia following influenza and 723 new cases of pneumonia also were reported.
 Stamping out Spanish influenza which has extended to more than a score of army camps and many sec tions of the country has been recog- nized by the government as war ne cessity.
 Nursing units today were mobilized in communities where the epidemic has gained considerable headway, un- der the general direction of central committee representing the public health service. the army. the navy and the American Red Cross.
 The principal relief will be afforded by units at home, for with the possi- ble extensive spread to other parts of the country it would not be advisable to shift nurses and doctors hack and forth. Travelling medical units will be mobilized, however, through the volunteer medical service corps. The Red Cross will provide compensation travelling expenses and maintenance as a war measure and the work will be kept up until normal conditions are restored Home defense units will be placed at the disposal of the cen tral committee.
 Provost Marshal General Crowder today instructed local draft boards throughout the country to call draft registrants for physical examinations soon as they have been placed in class by their boards, even though they may have appealed for recaSsi- fcation to the district board. The examination will be postponed only in case there is also pending claim for deferred classification on industrial grounds.
 Physically fit men between IS and i5 who are placed in Class by local boards. or who would be so placed eN- cept for occupational deferment. can not become candidates for commits sions in the army until they have been inducted into service as privatei under ruling of the adiutant general made public today and superseding previous orders.

REVIVED OLD APPLE STORY
Prisoner Related In Court That His
Adam and Eve Encounter Was
Caused by tho Red Fruit.

Ever since Eve tempted Adam with
an apple there has been more or less
trouble" remarked James q. Deery,
Judge Of city court, says the Indian
apolis News, "but this morning was
the first time that have had an ex-
ample Of the trouble which may be
caused between a man and woman by
an apple"
A man had been arrested charged
with assault and battery on his wife.
The wife had tried to shield him when
she took the stand, but admitted hav-
ing had a little unpleasantness with
her mate.
When the man took the stand he
asked whether he should tell the story
from the beginning, and when told to
go ahead started by saying: Judge,
your honor, all this trouble was caused
by an apple"
"Yes, I have heard that story be-
fore" said the Judge. "The Bible even
says that an apple caused trouble be-
tween Adam and Eve, and most people
think that all Of our troubles date to
that time"
'But this was real apple" replied
the prisoner. eve had an argument
over 1t and when my wife became loud
merely showed her away from me.
Then some nosey neighbors called the
police"
"All right" said Judge Deery, but
I believe the real cause Of this trouble
is that you do not work steadily. Now,
I am going to let you go this time on
the condition that you heed some ad-
vice relative to steady employment,
which a friend of yours Is going to
give you as soon as you leave the
courtroom"

FIRES RAzE HEART OF NORFOLK.
One Man Killed, Score Injured and
$2,000,000 Property Destroyed.

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 2.-Nearly two
blocks in the heart of Norfolk's bust
ness district. including the Monticello
hotel. were destroyed; one man was
killed and a score more injured in a
series of explosions and fires which
both the police and naval authorities
believe were incendiary. The fire had
been checked last night, but was still
burning fiercely in the ruins. The
loss is roughly estimated at more than
$4,000, 900 Three distinct explosions
In as many buildings, one after the
fire once had virtually been brought
under CONTROL led to the general be-
lief that enemy agents were at work.
Mayor Mayo practically placed the
city under martial law by turning the
situation over to the naval officers
and some $500 marines and blue
jackets from nearby naval stations as
sisted the police and home guards in
maintaining order and preventing van
dalism. Naval patrols rounded up sus-
picious persons, while five men were
arrested as suspects.

Allies Gain Seven Miles as Foes
Fall to Capture Holy City.


Fall to Capture Holy City.
London, Jan. New Year day on
the western front was ushered in to
the accompaniment of violent fighting
in the Cambria sector. Unofficial dis
patches from the line told of con-
tinued and unceasing German efforts
through highly localized attacks to Sc.
cure grip on Welsh ridge. At sew
eral points in this particular salient
positions have been taken and retaken
two or three times, the combat raging
fiercely back and forth. Haig's latest
report was that the British lines we're
intact, after counter assaults had re-
stored positions taken by German
liquid fire attacks, and the Austrians
were driven across the Piave river.
The Turkish armys attempts to re-
capture Jerusalem has ended in disas-
ter, the British gaining seven miles of
