While the conference was in pro, gress. General March was notified that the Germans had evacuated the entire Belgian coast up to the Hol- land boundary and that is is now in possession of the Allies.
 The German retirement from the Belgian coast district. General March added, is increasing in breadth and speed. The movement to the rear, on the whole, he added, is extremely rapid, as illustrated by the fact that the territory evacuated in four days totals more than 800 square miles.
 To the south in France, the general said, renewed attacks by Anglo-Amer- ican forces south of Douai have car ried the Allied line to the hastily con- structed German defense system which follows in a general way the Sensee canal and marshes. No at tempt to cross this barrier has yet been reported.
 The Hindenburg defense system is now entirely behind the Allied ad- vance and Marshal Foch is continuing his pressure without giving the enemy the slightest opportunity for a rest.
 General March did not attempt to analyize the military situation on tho western front as a whole or to point out objectives of thes various attacks. He called attention that the German retirement starting last week on a sixty mile sector between the Disc and the Argonne, had spread during th' week until 1t affected all except fif- teen miles of the 25O mile front from the coast to the Mouse.
 While this retirement was in pro- gress, he said, the American arms northwest of Verdun was fighting it. way forward against stiff resistance

Just how seriously the schools of the city hae been hit by the epidemic could not be ascertained today, but 1t is understood that a greater percent age of teachers are absent than schol- ars. If the records that will be gone over at the conference, shows this to be a fact, it will seriously hamper Dr. Browns method of fighting the epi- demic The health officer believes that the children are much safer in school than on the streets or in their homes, because they are under tho immediate supervision of teachers and school nurses. If the teachers, however, are being stricken with in fiuenza, the most vital control is lost, and therefore Dr. Brown would close the schools most seriously affected if not all of them. There Is no indica- ton at the present time that other places of assemblage in Bridgeport would be ordered closed.
