MINING REGION
UNDER FLU" SPELL

A concensus of reports received
from operating companies today,
showed that influenza is making no
further alarming inroads on the work
ing force of mine-workers through
out the anthracite region here seems
to be some improvement in both
the Schuylkill and Northumberland
counties, while the epidemic is said to
be increasing in Luzerne county. New
cases have been reported in and
around Shenandoah, section that
heretofore has escaped the full force
of the epidemic, and in Hazleton and
Jaddo. Col. W. A. Lawrence, COM
handing the U. s. Medical Corps men
in the Schuylkill region, finds hope
full signs of improvement and declares
the disease to have run its regular
course. when there is once a de-
cline" he declares, 1.-The disease will
disappear as quickly as it came"
The death rate has been lowered
about so per cent in the whole region
since Saturday. due to the untiring
efforts of the big staff of army sur
geons, civil practitioners and heroic
nurses, some of whom died from con-
tagion. The operating companies have
spared neither time nor expense to
aid the stricken mine workers and
their families. 1t is generally be-
lieved that with cold weather, the
epidemic will be checked entirely,
leaving pneumonia as the sole cause
for danger among patients and con-
valescents

Is Well known In This
CITY

regulars of the Fifth Army Corps,
American Expeditionary Force in
France, is in the same corps with the
Seventy Division of the National
Army. which includes hundreds of
Maryianders in it's infantry and ar
tillery regiments. organized at Camp
Meade. The fact that Major General
Omar Bundy is the corps commander,
according TO the latest identification OF
units in the field from Washington,
leads TO the belief that it is now where
Sighting is going on. General Bundy
is reported TO have been the American
general who stemmed the German adj
vance on Paris in the Chateau-Thierry
region by counter-attacking when his
Second Division of regulars and mar
ines had been thrown back. He told
the French Army commander who had
ordered retirement, that American
soldiers, compelled to yield ground,
would not understand if their officers
did not lead them in a counter-attack.
Major Carey went to France in the
summer as commander of the Eigh-
teenth Machine Gun Battalion He
is from Caroline county, and a grad
uate of st. Johns, College, this city.
Major Carey graduated from West
Point in 1904, and spent some years
in the Philippines and China as a sub
alteren officer of the Eighteenth In
fantry
Major Carey married Miss Alice |
