The State Board of Health, We'd
nesday, issued orders suspending all
public assemblages and closing all
places of amusement where people
congregate. Churches, lodges. picture
shows, theatres, patriotic and polit-
ical meetings. are all under the ban.
Public schools are the only excep-
tions, and they will be closed if in
fluenza breaks out in them. Pool halls
and Red Cross meetings were added
in a supplementary statement issued
yesterday by the secretary of the state
board of health.
The purpose of the drastic order is
to prevent the spread of influenza in
Idaho if possible. 1t exists now in six
counties, Twin Falls, Gooding, Canyon,
Ada, Nez Perce and Bonner So far
as known there are only thirty cases
but the disease spreads rapidly and
owing to its severity in some localities
the state board deemed it wise to
take every precaution.
In a statement yesterday. DR.. BIZ
wer, secretary of the state board of
health, said the reason schools were
excluded from the order was because
it was believed the children could be
watched better if they were kept to-
gether than if mingling with other
people in the streets, or playing with
each other without supervision. But
that if the disease brope out in the
schools they would be promptly closed
along with other places.
1T was reported yesterday that there
were three cases in Power county. two
at Neeley and one at American Falls.
but the rumor proved to be untrue.
The greatest watchfulness should
be kept however, as it is likely to
appear in unexpected places. For the
benefit of the public the suggestions
OF Surgeon General Blue, of the L. S.
Health department, are printed else
where in this issue. They are a little
lengthy, but it will be time we'll spent
to read them.
The epidemic. runs its course in
about three months, according to the
secretary of the state board of health.
and this will be the maximum limit
of time in which the closing order may
be in effect. In all probability it will
be in effect a much shorter time.

BACKS AGAINST THE WALL.
Germany's Armies Are Fighting Des-
perately While the Kaiser is Try

The German armies are attempting
the most desperate resistance of the
war.
They have been commanded to hold
or die. according to dispatches from
the front, giving the allies the impress
sion that they have not been beaten.
while Berlin proceeds with its peace
plot.
In default of sufficient field ar
tillery the Huns are massing all avail
able trench mortars, howitzers and
high velocity guns at critical points
in their Efforts to stop the slow,
ceaseless allied advances. while from
Russia, the Ukraine and the east gem
orally. every possible German soldier
is being turned into the wars bloody
nav in the west.
Hospitals throughout Germany have
been raked of nearly fit convalescents.
Reports have been received in Paris
that a levee enmasse would be at
tempted in the event that President
Wilson'S reply to the armistice pro-
posal was unfavorable. as a last re-
sort to prevent total collapse of the
empire.
It is also reported that Belgian ci-
villains are being forced to work on
line after line of defenses about Os-
tend. Zebrugges and Bruges, indicat-
ing that Field Marshal Hindenburg
and General Ludendorf consider rear
guard fighting across Belgium ineyr
table if they hope to arrive at the
Antwerp-Namur-M Metz line.
The Laon salient is gradually break
ing. The British and Americans are
driving one prong of the pincers deep
er beyond st. Quentin and Cambria,
while the French and Americans are
doing the same between Rheims and
Nerdun.
Short of guns, ammunition, airplanes
and reserves, Ludendorff is frenziedly
shutting what he has from one point
to another. fighting an ever-increasing
battle.

LEWIS COUNTY COUNCIL
ROUNDS Up SLACKERS.
Wealthy North Idaho Men Subscribe
$4,000 After Refusing to Buy $500
and Agree to Give $500 in Associ-
ated War Drive.

In the opinion of Monte B. Gwinn,
chairman of the state Liberty Loan
committee, the Lewis county council
of defense is composed of good finan-
clers. At one session with Peter Fox,
wealthy land owner in that county,
Mr.. Fox was indeed to raise his anty
from nothing to $4,000 in Liberty Bonds
and in addition to give $500 for the
seven war activities as soon as the
drive is opened. Mr.. Fox was asked
by the committee to buy a $500 bond.
He not only refused but gave the COM
mittee a good scoring. His wealth is
estimated at 100000.
W. e. Marckel of Vollmer also ap-
peared before the council to show why
he had not bought any bonds. Marckel
had been solicited by three members
of the committee and insulted them
and definitely stated he did not in
tend to buy any bonds. 1t is stated
that he did not buy any of the third
issue. The result of his conference
with the council was that he shook
loose $4,000 for Liberty Bonds and will
drop $500 into the war activities fund
when called upon.

The German troops on a 20-mile
front in the Cambrai-St Quentin sa-
lient were put to flight Wednesday
and the British cavalry is reported to
be pursuing them, the infantry march
ing in columns of four through viii
lagos hastily abandoned by the enemy.
The deepest gain was about nine
miles and there are no signs of the
advance slowing up. On the contrary
it was reported to be going faster ev-
cry hour, with clear ground ahead.
Cambria is in ruins, but is in the
hands of the British. Everything that
could be ruined by fire and explosives
was destroyed by the enemy before
departing. No less than thirty divis-
ions of the enemy are retreating.
North of Cambria the Canadians at
tackled and penetrated deeply. The
British marched through Berty with
out opposition. They reached the out
skirts of Troisvillers and hold Maui
rois and Honnechy. Large forces of
the enemy have been seen from the
air fleeing from the vicinity of lie Ca
teau. Maritz fell early and the British
reached Busigny and passed quickly
through Bohain. These are only a few
of more than a score of towns cap
tured
Many thousands of prisoners and
quantities of field and machine guns
we're taken as well as vast stores of
other booty, which the enemy did not
have time to destroy.
The whole of Cambrai is in British
possession. The Canadians were first
to enter the town. Ten thousand pris-
oners and from 100 to 200 guns were
captured.
The formidable German defense sys-
tenn between Cambrai and ST. Quen-
tin. which had been so carefully and
painstakingly built up by the Germans
during the past four years, has been
utterly demolished, and British, Amer
lean and French troops are out in the
open country eastward in pursuit of
the retreating enemy.
The victory seemingly is a complete
one, and with General Foch's strategy
working smoothly in bending back the
German line in one great converging
movement, the Germans apparently
are in a serious predicament. From the
region northwest of Rheims to the
Meuse river north of Verdun, the
French and Americans are slowly but
surely pushing the Germans backward
toward the Belgian border.
Under the avalanche of steel hurled
at them on the Cambrai-St. Quentin
sector the Germans could not live,
and were forced to flee eastward
Heavy casualties were inflicted on the
enemy. who had the temerity to at
tempt to make a stand. On the other
hand the casualties of the allies are
declared to have been small, those of
the Americans being less than half the
number of prisoners taken by them.
Where the enemy proposes to make
his next stand can not be foretold, but
probably an effort for a turnabout will
be attempted along the Valencienncs-
Sedan front After this line the only
known German defensive position
west of the Rhine is the Meuse river
The Americans are already threaten
ing to make this line untenable, hav-
ing started an advance up the valley
on the eastern side of the stream to-
ward Sedan.
