HEALTH BOARDS
REFUSE TO LIFT
ORDER NOW,BUT
DISEASE WAVES

At q joint meeting of the county and
city boards of health held this morn
ing for the purpose of considering the
influenza situation and the advisable
ity of permitting the re-opening Of
the public schools next week, it was
decided to allow Inc ban to remain
for another week. At the expiration
OF that time, if the situation shows a
continued improvement, it is regarded
as likely that schools and churches,
and perhaps other public places, will
be allowed to resume operations.
1t was brought out that the clos
irg order remains in force merely as
a precautionary measure against an
other serious outbreak of contagion.
The rumOr appears to have reached
outlying sections that the disease has
reached extremely serious proportions
in the city of Americas. This report
is entirely untrue. The new cases
reported daily have dwindled to amos
a negligible number, and deaths hav~
been extremely few. 1t is blieved TIC
epidemic has been all but complt4ls
stamped out here, and that normal
conditions rrill prevail soon again.
In announcing the decision of l1a
joint meeting of the boards of health
DR.. B. F. Bond. public health officer,
issued the following statement:
'Churches, schools and other places
of public gathering in Americas will
remain closed fer another week. Con-
ditions are improving but will not JUS
tify removing the ban yet.
Il regret exceedingly the necessity
of this precautionary measure, but
recent developments demonstrate con-
clusively that influenza is highly in
fictitious. Zone incipient case inocu-
lated more than seventy per cent of a
small social gathering)
Many of our sister cities have
again put the lid on after removing
the ban for a few days. We should
be governed by our conditions and
believe we are acting judicially
"Of course, realize that many are
being deprived of their vocational
earnings. and our children are out OF
school. but if we can prevent one case
of influenza with its complications and
death who should murmur at the FINAL
ciaI loss or temporary suspension Of
school?
"Tte public generally have coop
erated in a very satisfactory manner
but we have been zoo lenient with
our social gatherings; also some bust
ness establishments have ben crowd
ed and ventilation has been poor. Will
YOU who are permitted to continue.
whether your business is wholly es-
sential or not. make sure that ,iIa
sanitary conditions are as good as pos
sible and thereby assist in the pre-
vertion and spread of influenza, and
enable your less fortunate neighbor
to open his door?
1T is. indeed, a pleasure to have
the Endorsement of the City Board OF
Health"

HOMEWARD BOUND
TRANSPORT TORPEDOED
Covington Sunk in the War Zone and
Six Of Crew Lost.

Washington, D. c., July 5.-Th'
American Army transport Covington
homeward bound after landing sew
eral thousand soldiers in France, wa:
torpedoed and sunk in the war zone
last Monday night. Six members ol
the crew are missing, but all the 9th.
err men, with the ships officers, have
been landed at French port. No
army personnel or passengers were
aboard.
The Cov1ngton formerly was the
Hamburg-American liner Cincinnati,
which was laid up at Boston and TAX
en- over when the United States en-
tered the war. She was Cos feet long.
of 16,33o gross tonnage and had a
speed Of IS Leg knots ali hour.
The Covington is the second OF the
great German liners seized at the out
break OF the war, to be sent down by
Germany's sea wolves, and is the
third American troopshp to be de-
stroyed All were homeward bound.
The former Hamburg American liner
President Lincoln was sunk last May
81 and the Antilles, formerly Nor
gan liner, was sent down last October
II.
The Navy Departments announce
ment tonight OF the torpedoing OF
the Covington, said none of the Off
GERS and men landed was seriously
injured" Apparently some of them
were hurt, but the number probably
was not given in Vice Admiral Sims
dispatch.
The Covington was struck at o:17
o'clock Monday night while proceed
ing with fleet of other transports,
conveyed by destroyers. The subma-
rine was not sighted The transport
remained afloat until Tuesday. when
efforts were made by another vessel
and two tugs to tow her to port, but
she was too badly damaged to keep
afloat
