After being closed for several
weeks the Red Cross rooms will be
reopened on Monday. Workers are
earnestly asked to attend as the
work is very urgent with not less
than six allotments to be filled as
quickly as possible. Miss Horning,
superintendent Of the Red Cross
work, asks that the work rooms be
filled as peace does not mean a ces-

rather more work, because Of the
great need of the refugees.

To the Editor:
May trespass again on your
good nature in order to correct some
statements made in DIR. Nibley's ar
ticle of December 6. My good friend
DIR. Nibley seems all ''het up" over
the influenza situation, or is he max
ing use of the influenza as camou-
flage to make dirty personal at
tack on me?
The article written. by myself and
appearing in Thursdays Courier
was correct in practically every par
ticular as would my other article
have been had DR.. Nibley not taken
the liberty to correct it." DR.. Nib
ley says ''and we all know what the
surgeon general did to DR.. Smiths
attempt to stimulate his country
practice by opening the schools be-
fore the flu was under CONTROL" evi-
IDENTIFY we don't all know for the very
good reason that DR.. Smith made no
such attempt and the surgeon gen.
eral did nothing to him. and such a
report, If there was one, evidently
came from a fevered or disordered
brain.
The charge that have been draw
ing salary from the county Illegally
is absolutely false as DR.. Nibley
very well knows If he knows any
thing.
have not had time to look up the
case cited and not being able to en-
ploy legal adviser presume it re-
fers to case where person draws
two salaries at the same time, hold
ing two offices considered lucrative,
as for instance in some places he
may hold the office as city health Of
ficer and county physician at the
same time and draw salary fol
each office, as l say have no lega'
adviser and as DR.. Nfbley evidently
has, I trust he will have him lool
the case up. The claim that theil
drugs are purer and their instru
ments are the finest is the stock
in-trade claim of quacks. / hay'
never known legitimate physician
advance any such claim. The larg'
number of persons given the serum

FRENCH IMPERIL
GERMAN HOLD ON
VITAL HILL 1873
Hun Division, Ordered to
Fight to the Last, Gives.
Up to Debcney
By dtfoeiated Press

With the French Army in France,
Sept. 28.-General Debeney's troops
in their latest advance toward st.
Quentin took a position ut Dallon
which tho 221st German division had
been ordered to hold 10 the last
drop of blood"
Ten German officers and more than
500 men were prevented from max
ing the supreme sacrifice demanded
of them. They fought we'll under the
protection of a curtain of fire from
their artillery posted around St.
Quentin, but the French troops were
on them in successive waves so
quickly that they could not carry out
the order of their commanding gen.
eral, Won La Chevallerie, except by
committing suicide. Tho alternative
of captivity appeared acceptable to
most of them.
This success makes precarious the
German hold on Hill 1873. This Is the
highest point in the positions along
the ridges from Holnon to Dallon
which the enemy has been fortifying
with feverish haste. Its fall, while 1t
might not mean the fall of st. Quen-
tin. would greatly weaken the de-
fences of the city.

GERMANS RESIST
HARDHAIGDRIVE
FOR ST. QUENTIN
More Than Thousand Prison
ers Taken; British Ad-
vance Near Inchy
By Associated Press

With the British Army in Franco,
September 26.-Since the operations
of Tuesday near st. Quentin, the
British. with the French on their
right, have made good progress. The
enemy still is resisting on the out
skirts of Pontruet with machine gun
rear guards. They also fought hard
against the British at Selency and
made strong counterattacks near
Gricourt, but were repulsed with
many killed or wounded.
The prisoners taken by the British
in their sector now aggregate more
than a thousand, and many machine
guns also have been captured.
Elsewhere on the British front
there has been no great activity, ex-
cept near Inchy, west of Cambria,
where the British line has been ad-
vanced slightly and many of the
enemy have been killed.
