SPLENDID WORK DONE

The Baptists of the South are re-
joicing over the magnificent offer
ings for the current expenses of

81 100000 which was almost $780,
600 more than was asked for but
which can be used to advantage in
the camp work among our soldier
boys here and in France. The Wo-
mans Missionary Unions appor-
tionments were fully met and in ad-
dition they gave $4,000 extra for
Foreign Missions, $4,000 extra for
Home Missions and $500 extra
for the new building for our Wom-
ans Missionary Union Training
School, located at 334 E. Broadway,
Louisville, Ky. This building was

$150,000 and is to be dedicated
with appropriate exercises on May

211,000 "FLU" CASES
In Army Camps There Is Gain
With 7,432 Fatalities Reported.

Washington, Oct. 1.-Two hundred
and eleven thousand cases of influenza
have been reported in army camps to
date, with 1892 fatalities.
One week ago only IT of the AZ
larger camps were infected. There
are now 33 such camps reporting more
than 500 cases each for the week. The
number of new cases and deaths, as
reported to the war department, con-
tinued to show an increase.
The influenza epidemic continued
| with great intensity in the majority OF
camps and stations in the United
States during the past week, the war
department announced today.
It is spreading rapidly westward.
Many new camps are row affected. In
eastern camps wi-cre the epidemic
| first appeared, comparatively few new
cases are now being reported. The
| epidemic appears to be at it's height
| in middle west camps. Northern can
| tonments have suffered most severely.
The disease as it has appeared in
the south has been less frequently
complicated by pneumonia and there
fore less fatal.
In view of the number of camps
now infected and the progress of the
epidemic in the earlier camps affected,
tit is believed that within a short time
the peak will be reached and an inn
provement in condition may be ex-
pected.
During the week there were ALI
new cases compared with 2,230 of last
week, while the death rate is two and
one-half times greater than that of the
preceding week.
These exceedingly high rates are
without precedent since the troops
were modified last year.
b Cases of diseases reported for the
week follow:
Influenza Ss,47S, as compared with
37,945 last week.
Pneumonia 8,655, as compared with
Abb last week
Measles $50, as compared with s21
last week.
Meningitis 27, as compared with IS
last week.

while the movement of soldiers across

Summing up the battle situation on
the west front, General March said
with the capture of LIE Cateau by the
British. the allied forces were within
fourteen miles of the railway junction
of Aulnoye, which is vital strategical
point for the enemy. The Liege-
Maubeuge railway and the lateral
road thru Sedan at which the Ameri-
can army is striking on the Meuse
meet each other at Aulnoye and these
two lines are the main arteries for
German supplies and troops move
ments in France.
The first courier from General
Pershing carrying the hospital records
OF the expeditionary forces for slight
ly wounded men has arrived. General
March said, the lists including ap-
proximately 5000 names. This num-
Der he said, was the accumulation for
