 According to meager details re ceived from Victoria, B. C. prior to the cable interruption, the C. P. R. steamer Princess Sophia, for the past two days has been clinging tenaciously to the Vanderbilt reef, on which she struck, although she had been subjected to a bad pound ing in the stiff northerly breeze.

RIGID MEASURES ID BE TAKEN ID
 STOP INFLUENZA
Engineer in Charge Will Act In Concert With Governor to
 Prevent Spread of Disease

Mir. Browne, engineer in charge, received the following telegram from Governor Riggs this morning:
 Upon first indication of presence of influenza other than prollerly isolated imported cases, advise clos ing schools, churches, pool halls and all places of public meeting. The territory is now remarkably free of the disease, owing to prompt quarantine measures, and every effort should be made to keep the disease out. All cases diagnosed as such should be immediately reported to me by wire. The symptoms are as follows: Sudden feeling of sick ness and weakness, pains in eyes, ears, head and back and there may be soreness all over, many patients feel dizzy, some vomit, most patients complain of feeling chilly, which is accompanied by fever with tenn perature from 100 to 104, in most cases pulse remains relatively slow; patient in appearance looks sick his eyes and the inner side of the eyelids may be slightly bloodshot or congested. There may be running from nose or some cough; signs may not be marked but patient looks and feels very sick. Ordinarily the fever lasts from three to four days and the patient recovers. When death occurs it is usually the result of complications"
 MT. Browne is issuing a special circular today for the guidance of the employees of the Alaskan En- gineering commission, and he told the News representative that with the cooperation of Dr. David More, who IS the health officer for the town of Nenana, he will immediately put into effect such measures as will effectually prevent the intro duction of the disease in Nenan, in accordance with the plans of Governor Riggs.
 It should be the duty of every Nenanaite to keep a sharp lookout for any signs of the epidemic and report it promptly to Mir. Browne or Dr. More, and thereby prevent the necessity for the issuance of an order that will close up practically the entire business section of the town.

ALLIED ARMIES ROUT
 HUNS AT ALL POINTS

WASHINGTON, D. C.-In the re- port made to the war department to- day, General Pershing says that heavy fighting has taken place on the Verdun sector of the battlefront, the American forces being called upon to meet several powerful Ger man counter attacks delivered on the positions held by our forces to the east of the Mouse.
 Counters Repulsed
 General Pershing's report states that these counter attacks were re- pulsed everywhere successfully, ex- cept in the Bellue region. Here the Germans attacked in great force and with much vigor and though re- pulsed three different times, came on again and forced a partial re- tirement of our forces. They, how ever, paid very dearly in killed for the slight advantage gained, and it is not thought that they will be able to hold the positions gained for any great length of time.
 Progress Made
 The American forces operating to the west of the Mouse have been able to continue their advance de spite the determined resistance ot the enemy.

 In the task of driving the enemy back on the Mouse and the resulting fighting during the last four days, in addition to the vast amount of material, and supplies used up by the enemy in their futile attempts to hold back the advancing Allies, the Allies have captured about fif- teen hundred prisoners, two hundred big guns and a large quantity of war material.
