monia 6, total of 81.
1t is believed by the health au-
thorities that the epidemic is about
stationary here and may remain so
for an indefinite period. Continued
observance of the closing orders and
the restrictions prohibiting any
large gatherings will be the best
methods of ending the danger here,
the officials said. For this reason
the ban on schools, theRters, saloons,
wholesale liquor stores and other
places will be strictly enforced until
it is seen that the epidemic is rap
idly abating.

1--WE have been advised by the Sec

cables that some of our chapters are
sending circular letters and postcards
to troops from their districts, asking
for information about various camps
to which men have been attached since
they entered service date they entered
and left each camp, etc.
Such information as is requested
by these circular letters and post
cards cannot be furnished, as it is
prohibited BY censorship regulations.
1t should be manifest that such in
formation il it were furnished, might
easily fall into enemy hands and
would be very valuable to the enc
N.Y. Moreover, the mail service is
already overburdened and such USE
less mail simply adds to the confu-
sion which already is very great
II should request that you inform
all Of your chapters that such infor-
nation cannot be furnished and that,
therefore, the sending of all circular
letters and postcards requesting such
information should be stopped. Yours
very truly, q. f. SCOTT,
Assistant General Manager"
