Few Meningitis Cases.

Because of rumors atioat that there Is
an epidemic of spinal meningitis in Camp
Meade, near Baltimore, the authorities
deemed it best to make report on the
subject and thus allay the fears that may
arise by virtue of such rumors.
The authorities therefore announced
early this week that there had been two
or three deaths from meningitis in the
last three weeks as the result of compli-
cations arising from influenza. Such
complications were bound to ensue, and
the number is small when compared with
the nearly II. .OO0 cases of the "tlu' that
were reported at Meade. There are now
In camp just five cases of meningitis.
1t is stated that there are few cases
of measles at the camp, and that there
will likely be many more cases before the
wi ter is over. There have been many
cases in all army camps all over the
world in past years and there will con-
tnue to be. They always spring up in a
big mass of men living an open-air life.

icle the death of one of our young men,
the only son of the Editor of THE CAToC-
TIN CLARION, which sad event occurred
at Annapolis, whittier he had gone to be
inducted into the United States Army.
1t was known here that James was ILL.,
but his condition was not regarded as
serious until Wednesday evening. HIS
distressed parents left at once for An
napolis where the son was found in
serious condition, having developed pneu-
monia of virolent type. James llnger-
ed until Wednesday afternoon when ne
passed peacefully away.
James Somerset Waters, the only son
of Mr.. and Mrs Charles c. Waters, was
born Nov. 3. 1899. He was a grandson
of the late DR.. James K Waters of this
place. Both his paternal great, great
grandfathers were actively engaged IN
the Revolutionary War, Richard Waters
having been chief surgeon under Gen.
Washington and Christopher Hill having
fought valliantly under Gen. Lafayette.
At the outburst of the present war
James was most eager to enlist under the
Stars and Stripes to take part In the great
struggle for making the world safe Tor
democracy. In d2ference to the wishes
of his parents he was satisfied to forego
this earnest desire and to remain in
school. He was a. student of the Fred
erick High School, being member OF
the present gradua ting class. He how
ever resigned from this class to enter st.
Johns College, Annapolis, Md, where
he became a member of the Students
Army Training Corps, U. S. Army, en-
rolling as a corporalin said division.
James had also been member Of Co.
L, Maryland State Guards of Frederick
City, an organization in which he had
taken most active part. His death oc'
Cured at the Naval Hospital. U. s. Ma
val Academy, Annapolis, to which place
he had been removed for treatment and
every attention possible was given him,
but to no avail.
Full military honors were given as his
body, accompanied by his parents, was
removed from Annapolis to be brought
to his home. The Students Army Train
ing Corps, officers and faculty of st.

military salute.
The funeral was held from his late
home in Thurmont on Saturday afternoon,
October l9, 1918, at o'clock. Inter-
ment in the U. B. cemetery, Thurmont.
Rev. c. 4. Wolfe, rector of st. Stephen S
church, Thurmont, of which the deceas-
ed was a communicate member, and
Rev. Douglass Hootf, rector of All Saints
Episcopal church of Frederick, Md, ottt-
ciated at the services. Six classmates
from the Frederick High School acted as
pallbearers, and a detail squad from Co.
l., acted as an escort and fired three vol
leys as the remains were committed to
the earth. Grafton Dallas, a member of
Co. l. sounded taps at the close of the
burial service.
Thus passes away young man of ex-
cellent habits, and one held in the high
est esteem by all who knew him. His
sunny, genial disposition made him great
favorite among the younger set, by
whom he will be greatly missed. His
bereaved parents have the sympathy of
the entire community in this their great
hour of trial.
