officer, said to-day that there is no
change in the epidemic situation.

ing to DR.. Raunick, and ii is esti-
mated that until it is checked about
fifteen per cent. of the population

rate is about five per cent. of the
persons who become i'll he said

gency hospital was opened, was re-

ent the building is almost filled but

lation will have been victims. The

Ger Raunick is about five per cent
of the persons who become i'll.

Booze as Antidote
For "Flu" Condemned
by Phila. Doctors

Philadelphia. Oct. 1S.--Booze as
an antidote in lighting the epidemic
of influenza was condemned by
the opinion of some doctors, the cpl
demic would have been more wide
spread If the saloons had been open
ed, and the mortality rate would
have jumped to even greater
heights.
Keep the saloons shut tight" is
the cry of doctors who have taken
part in combitting the spread of in
f1uenza. Undermining of the consti-
tutions of many persons as a result
of the indiscriminate use of whisky
is occurring during the epidemic,
making them more susceptible to
succumbing to the disease, according
to the consensus of opinion of the
physicians.

YANKEES HOLD
KEY TO GREAT
BATTLEFIELD
Take the Cote Chatillon; Long
Bitterly Defended by
the Germans

With the American Army North
west of Verdun, Oct. IS. - In com
plete control of the Cote Chatillon,
the Americans now hold the key to
the great stretches to the north and
northeast. The hill is, in fact, the
final of three keys, all of which have
long been bitterly defended. The
first was Mamelle trench outside of
Romagne. which, when won, gave ac-
cess to- the equally vital Dame Marie,
and that position in turn gave access
to Chatillon.
From the latter position the great
mass of German defensive positions
to the northwest can also be con-
trolled and the line can be exploited
further without organized attack. be-
cause each position is on a sloping
hill that can be swept with an en-
filading fire.
The. Americans took to-day as pris-
oners from the Germans two Russians
who had been forced to labor in work
ing battalions close behind the front
line,

Allies since the battle of the Marne and it fit

months, which was opened by General Mangin's

Many cities have been liberated and hun
dreds of suqare miles of territory retaken. The
British south of LIE Cateau, have broken into
the German positions and now threaten the
Hunding line. The whole German defense
system eastward to the Meuse is in peril.
The first result of forcing the Germans back

HAIG TAKES PRISONERS
1000 Huns Are Captured by
the British in One
Operation

oiid liiC oSSOild iiiiPOl lolil
German submarine base on
the Belgian coast, has been
occupied by Allied forces.
Bruges, seven miles south
of Zeebrugge, has been
evacuated by the Germans,
according to information re-
ceived at the Belgian army
headquarters. Belgian in
fantry forces have entered
the city of Bruges.
London, Oct. 1S.-Turcoing, a
city six miles northeast of Lille,
has been entered by British
troops, according to the Evening
News.
Between the Sensec canal and
the Lys river the British are con-
tinuing their advance on tie
whole front.
More than 1000 prisoners
were captured by Field Marshal
Haig's forces yesterday in their
offensive in the Bohain-Le
Cateau region, the British War
Office announced to-day.
The German withdrawal from
Western Belgium and the coastal
region shows no signs of halting.
The Allied forces are pressing rap
idly after the retiring enemy and
additional cities and towns have been
occupied.
From Lille southwark the German
retirement is not so rapid, but the
British maintain strong pressure all
along the line to east of Cambria.
Farther south he enemy is retiring
from the angle between the Disc and
the Serre.
Coast Being Freed
Zeebrugge, the second and last of
the submarine bases con the coast,
is reported occupied by British
forces, probably naval units, and the
enemy is reported to have evacuated
Bruges, which Belgian cavalry is ap-
preaching. In the center the French
and Belgians continue to advance
toward Ghent by way of Thielt.
In the Lille 'region the British are
working eastward toward Tourcoing
and Roubai& and the fall of these
cities would appear to be n matter
only of hours. East of Douai Field
Marshal Haig is marching toward
Valenciennes. In the operations south
of Valenciennes Thursday the Brit
ish took 1000 prisoners.
Enemy i'm Pocket
The German retirement between
the Disc and the Serre was made
necessary because the enemy was in
a pocket, the sides of which were
being pressed in by the French. The
French are advancing northeastward
from the junction of the two rivers
and have taken Anguilcourt, two
miles east of the junction and north
of the Serre.
Northwest of the Argonne forest
General Gouraud is battling forward
against stubborn resistance and the
fighting front west of Grand Pre- has
been extended to Nouziers. In the
neighborhod of Nouziers the French
have carried out an important stroke
by crossing the Aisne river. Evil
IDENTIFY the French aim to advance
northeast from Vouziers and out
flank the Germans in the Boult for
est. This would be of great assist
ance to the American advance east
of the forest.
