INSTRUCTIONS TO
RED CROSS CHAPTERS
That Local Chapters Or.
ganize' Groups Of Lay Women to
Augment the Professional
Nursing Forces


Cities and towns needing nurses
and hospital supplies to care for in
fuenza cases among civilians must
make their needs known through their
local health officer and local Red
Cross division headquarters.
The same procedure holds good for
the military schools established in
colleges which may, be stricken with
the epidemic?
This statement was issued at Lake
Division headquarters this afternoon
as result of the confusion arising
among civilian populations and stu
dent soldiers needing nursing care
and supplies.
If local Red Cross resources and
public health resources are not ade-
quate, local health officers can get
help from Division Red Cross head
quarters If their state boards of health
request it.
All chapters have been provided
with full instructions as to procedure
relationship with local boards of
health and with the division headquar-
ters. Meanwhile the Lake Division is
still sending nurses and hospital sup
plies direct to military camps almost
as quickly as acquisitions are receiv-
ed. New requisitions are on hand
from Camp Taylor, Sherman and
Buell.
All graduate and practical nurses
are again urged to communicate with
their nearest Red Cross chapter for
assignment.
Chapters have received full instruc-
tions how to carry out a survey of
their local nursing resources and all
nurses are repeatedly being urged
not to 60 out on any infuenzt assign
ments without some authorization
from the Red Cross. This is to enable
the Red Cross to keep a constant in
'Nh'oAy VI Nhc anu hlHu Ol
nurses it has available. Without this
inventory, according to the statement
from division headquarters, confusion
will result.
Today's instructions to Red Cross
chapters from James L. Fieser, chair
man of the division Committee on in
fiuenEa, suggastst that local chapters
organize groups of lay women to au-
gment the professional nursing
forces If necessary The instructions.
however, point out that the organiza-
tion of such women should include
those who are, through some previous
training or experience, qualified for
membership in this important auxil-
larry forces.

OFFICIAL Text OF
GERMAN REPLY
= IS RECEIVED
German Note Found to BE Same as
That Sent Out in Advance by
Nauen Wireless President
Holds Conference With y.
Lansing and Baker.

Washington, October 1-Germany's
reply to President Wilson reached the
Swiss legation in. official form by ca
BILE this morning. 1t was in German
text, a translation of which was iden-
tical with that received by wireless
Saturday night.
Instead of taking the note directly
to the White House, as he did Prince
MaXimilian's peace plea, Frederick
Oederlin Swiss charge, communicat-
ed with the State department. He ask
ed to present it to Secretary Lansing
at 11:15 o'clock
In the meantime President Wilson
had called Secretaries Lansing and
Baker to the White House for a con-
ference. The President and Mr.. .Lans-
ing had been considering the German
communication since Saturday night,
when the unofficial text reached them,
and Secretary Baker, just back from
France, was prepared to give first
hand information about the situation
at the battlefront, which has brought
about the German eagerness for peace.
A concerted demand that Germany's
peace proposals be rejected and that g
| demand for unconditional surrender
be made by President Wilson was re-
ported to Washington today as the ma
tional 9entiment toward the new Ger
man peace note. That sentiment was
reflected in thousands of kilograms
received at the White House, the State
department and by senators and rep
resentatives.

ENEMY USES TACTICS
OF MARINE AND SOMME
Escapes Disaster and Reaches New
\ Brunhild Line For Defense.

German forces have abandoned Laon
and the whole st, Gabain region. The
French have pressed on until their
line now runs from the Oise river,
above La Fere, to the eastern end of
Chemin des Danes.
The Germans retreated with such
speed that the change in the battle.
line in that part Of the front in few
hours was astonishing. Not until the
French reached the Laon-La Fere
railroad did they encounter any real
resistance.
Italian troops participated in the
advance and now are engaged on the
hills north of the Ailette river.
The Germans have reached possibly
what is known as the Hunding or
Brunhild line. This position, while
much less foridable, so far as known,
than the Hindenburg system, still is
strong enough to retard pursuit by the
Allies and perhaps hold them up for
some time. The Hunding line runs
from Antwerp to Client and thence to
Tournai, Coude, Valensciennes. Soles-
mes, Guise, Rethel, Vouziers, Dun
Sur-Meuse and then down the base of
the st. Mihiel salient to the Moselle,
where it joins the old front running
through Lorraine and the Vosges to
the Swiss frontier.
Study of the tactics followed by the
| Germans in the last week has shown
that they are following the methods of
retreat used in the Marne and Somme
salents in July and August. They
have held their TANKS fairly secure
and have withdrawn their center.
They have thus, apparently, escaped
disaster around Laon, where military
experts have said the Germans had
delayed their retirement too long for
their own safety.

MASON COUNTY
SUBSCRIBES HER
PART IN THE LOAN
Reports Handed in TO Secretary Cal
houn This Morning Puts Mason
County "Oyer the Top" With
LARGE Margin to the
Good.

For the fourth time, Mason county
has justified her name, as one of the
patriotic and dependable counties in
Kentucky, and has subscribed her
part in the Fourth liberty Loan with
several thousands over. The exact
amount had not been determined by
the banks this afternoon at 4 o'clock,
but the general estimation is that the
amount of subscriptions handed in
this afternoon will place Mason coun-
ty considerably over.
The banks were swamped with sub
scriptions and reports from the COM
munities from last weeks suhscrib-
ers and in spite of large extra force
of workers, were unable to hand in
any report.
Mason is now securely enrolled on
the honor lists again, and although
not among the first Kentucky counties
to subscribe her quota, she has made
an excellent showing.

Washington, October 1.-THE epi-

what in Eastern states, but continues
to spread in the middle and far West.
On the basis of meager reports receiv-
ed today officials of the public health
service bureau were optimistic that
the strongest measures taken, such as
closing schools, churches, theaters
and forbidding public gatherings gem

effect
Information that the disease was
abating came from Massachusetts,
Ohio and Maryland.
The office of the surgeon general of
the army made no statement today as
to the situation in the army camps,
but reports to the public health SER
vice told of subsistence at Chillicothe,
Ohio, the site of Camp Sherman, and
at Louisville, KY, where Camp Tay-
lor Is located.

was a man of strong physique.
He is survived by his wife, who was

Paris, October 14-Still another vic
tory has been added to the long trail
of glory blazed by the Allied armies.
The Laon plateau at last has been
won, crowning the Cambrai-St. Quen-
tin and Champagne offensives.
The maneuvers so sikllfully elabo-
rated by Marshal Foch and so ably
carried out by Field Marshal Haig
and General Petain enabled this great
achievement to be accomplished with
out the loss inseparable from a di-
rect attack.
The result is nothing less than the
running of the entire defensive system
built up by the German general staff
since 1914, for the cornerstone of it
was the Laon plateau.
