COUNTY FOLLOWS
CITY IN FIGHT
ON INFLUENZA
Dances, Wakes, Meetings and
Other Crowd Gathering
Events Prohibited in Outside
Precincts,

The county of Bernaiillo late yes
terday afternoon took definite action
in the fight to stop the further spread
of the Spanish influenza, when the
county board of health issued an or
der prohibiting all public religious
services, indoor or outdoor, all wakes,
meetings and other gatherings of peo-
pie. The order is to be strictly en-
forced. The board recommended that
women wear wells when down town
and in places where they might be ex-
posed to the disease, as it is said that
the netting will prevent the germ of
the disease from entering the mouth
or nose. The resolutions adopted by
the county board of health yesterday
practically followed those now in eff
feet in the city. In fact the city reg
ulations were endorsed by the county
authorities.
The city commission yesterday be-
gan the work of further protecting
the people of the city against influen-
"a, by inserting paid advertisements
In the daily papers. Chairman Wade
of the commission is arranging to have
handbills, printed in English and
Spanish, distributed to the homes
throughout the city, warning the peo-
pie against the dangers of the disease,
and suggesting prevention methods.

LOCAL WORKERS
OF SANTA f IN
CONTINUED DRIVE
Employees Re-SubScribe and
Swell Loan Figures to Huge
Sum- Rio Grande Division
Has Total of $169,200,

santa Fe employees are unusually
gratified over the results of their
drive thus far in behalf of the Fourth
Liberty Loan. Many of the depart
ments have gone lover the top in
great style while others. few. have
developed weakness total of
Sl69,2O0 was reported as the total for
the local employees. while the Rio
Grande division reports $2G2.750 up
until O'Clock last night
ID. II. Barton, superintendent of the
shop department, and j. P. McMur-
ray OF the roundhouse which includes
the station coach yard, deserve great
credit for the work they have done
during the campaign, according to
the committee in charge as both their
departments have gone virtually 100
per cent in the loan. A. S. Roughton,
freight house foreman. has obtained
subscriptions as a result of per-
sonal interviews. which total $2,500.
1t is largely due to the personal in
terest OF the men in charge that the
drive here has been such an unquali-
fled success.
+. E. Summers. division superin-
tendent for the Rio Grande division,
has highly commended the men in
charge but urges that there be no
letup in the campaign until the drive
IS over and the division has reached
its goal of 100000.
The detail report of the local en-
ployes. as announced last night, fol-
lows: Shops, $1O5,750; roundhouse,
$3275O; store department, $4,000; tie
plant department, $500; station de-
partment. $1,000; entire Rio Grande
division. S262.750.
superintendent Summers Yesterday
sent to the local employees the follow
ing message. which contains the mes
sage of Director General McAdoo to
the men. regarding the loan:
The director general says: T wish
you would say to the railroad men on
your region. officers and employees
alike, how earnestly | hope that they
will subscribe to the limit of their
ability to the Fourth Liberty Loan.
Lending their money to Uncle Sam is
the first use they can make of it. not
only because it is a safe investment
for themselves, but it will help their
country win the war. The fact that
the kaiser is already making offers of
peace should make us more eager to
put over this loan and keep our fight
ing pressure at the maximum until
we actually get peace. Now is the
time for every man in the fighting
army in Europe and the Industrial
and financial army at home to so the
limit to make the great victories our
soldiers have already won absolutely
complete and final, hope that when
the returns come in next Saturday it
will be shown that the railroad men
in your region were 100 per cent
hope that no railroad man will fail to
do his full part"

F |NAL FIGHT
IN CAMPA| To
MAKE LOAN QUOTA
Men and Women to Devote
Their Time Today and To-
morrow in Last Effort to
Put County Over the Top,

Today and tomorrow are the last
days that the people of Bernalillo
county will have an opportunity to
sign the honor roll--to participate in
the fight for freedom, by subscribing
FOR Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds. Com
mittees of men and women will work
today and tomorrow, in the streets of
the business section, and in all parts
of the county, in the final fight to put
the county over the top. 4,
Some of the members of the eXecu-
tive committee have almost reached
the point where they favor a compul-
sorry bond buying law. They cite a
number of cases of wealthy people
here who have failed to do their bit
in this campaign. The names of some
have been turned over to the county
council of defense for final action to-
day or tomorrow. 1t is likely that
new kind of pressure and persuasion
will be administered. .

LETTERS FROM OUR
SOLDIERS AT HOME
AND AT THE FRONT
Floyd A. Smarter.

Mrs. Mary Shaffer, 716 South Arno
street has received from her son,
Floyd A. Shaffer, who is with the
American forces in France, an inter-
esting letter. The letter follows in
part:
II will write you today as I have
plenty of time. We have been having
some big hikes: and have been busy.
AS result I am lying grounding with
bad feet, But the blisters will be all
right in a day or so.
The land around here is farming
country. / have some post card views
of the French villages in which we are
billetted, but am not allowed to send
them across the pond. SO | will
bring them back with me and show
you where | lived for a while The
houses are all of stone with roof of tile
or thatch covered with moss. In places
over here they all bunch in villages
twenty to sixty miles apart. The
French people are very polite.
Il saw some German prisoners in
a town I passed They wear green
uniforms. They were making a rail-
road and the French guards were right
there to see that they worked. | saw
German airplane bombing a town
The anti-aircraft guns got after it and
it made hike for the fatheland.
The army has Y. NJ. C. A. school
attached. They handle tobacco, candy,
writing material and such necessities
as we need. The Y. NJ. c. A. and the
Salvation Army are fine things. Too
much cannot be said about them.
Il attended church services on Sun
day once since ! have been here, 1t
was really sight something differ
ent than what we have in the U. S. A.
OF course everything was spoken in
French. Our band was present and
played the national air of France.
1.-THE Y. NJ. C. A. entertained for us
the other evening. A French actress,
and English performer and violinist
from Paris, gave US a good time and
we all enjoyed it, All of the SOL
diers have to wear their steel helmets
part of the time so as to get used to
them. Believe me, they are no joke
as they are not light weight. MY work
in the signal corps is very interesting
and | like it fine
THE Germans had been told we
Americans were helpless but | think
they have changed their minds by this
time and they are doomed to rude
awakening"
