the thing grew and spread over this

Where masks have been worn the

a half hearted way. They have been
worn for certain hours or in certain

hours. They work all the time. On
the Pacific coast every city except
Los Angeles was masked Los An

ALLEGED FACTS ABOUT FLU.

Perhaps the most popular medical
writer in America is DR.. Woods
Hutchinson. He used to practice in
Des Moines was there Friday last,
and gave out an interview about the
flu He tells an interesting story,
whether true or not.
If this country hadn't Deen pig
headed every precaution would have
been taken to combat the disease
long before the flu ever reached
here. We knew it was prevalent In
Europe and would find its way here.
The mask is absolutely the most
sure preventative of the spread of
flu. This germ is the old influenza
germ with new twist. The disease
was brought to Boston by sailors on
transports and was transplanted to
Camp Devens. The facts that it got
its start in an army camp is re-
sporsible for its new form. All the
persons in such a community are
men; all are practically the same
age Germs travelling from one sex
to another change their form during
adjustment. In an army camp there

BAZAAR WELL ATTENDED.

The ladies of the Catholic church
were very successful With their two
days bazaar at the court house last
Friday and Saturday. Dinners and
suppers were served on both days
and in the evening a short program
was given. This organization has
pledged $4,000 on the new church
which Is now in course of erection.
The bazaar Melted the ladies about
$3.50. which will go long ways to-
ward liquidating their obligation.
Many people attended both days and
those In charge have every reason to
feel proud OF the success Of the un-
dertaking.

In San Francisco everyone is
masked. Men cut holes in their
masks that they may smoke, and
women are becoming accustomed to
looking like something just escaped
from harem. Out there / was cred
tied with saying that the ideal sit
uation had been reached: the saloons
all open; the churches closed, and
every woman with a mask over her
mouth.
It's ridiculous to order public
meeting places closed. There is as
much danger in the meeting of two
people as fifty. Talking and sneez-
ing into folks face is the danger
Gus business. In the movies no one
talks and there is no more danger
than there is on a street car. In
the churches one man does all the
talking. Only those on the front
rows are in the preachers range and
the front row folks usually are too
old to catch the flu.

HUNS MUSTLEAVE

BY j. w. r. MASON

OF the weeks fighting by the Amer

the Americans have developed new
threat this week against German re-

to the Americans it will not be poSsl-
BILE for the Germans in the Champagne

Ardennes Hills Dangerous
Hirson is the westernmost defense o.
the ArdenneS forest ana hills. Stenay
is the protecting point which guards
the southeastern approaches to the Ar
DENIES. The distance between the two
is about sixty miles. II General
Pershing's armies can occupy botn
strategic centers almost simultaneously

Won Hindenburg clearly sees this
trap. Because of it, he has started an
extensive retreat along the whole ii
his Champagne front. he has doubtless
already begun to move some OF his re-
serve supplies back into Germany cy
way of Luxembourg.
He cannot return a very large guam
tity, however, because of the possibility
that if this is done Marshal Foch viii
make a sudden assault and brean
through the inadequately protected
Champagne line.
The present situation in the Cham

mans have had to face since their re-
treat began along the west front last
July. Owing to British pressure or

WARISNOT OVER,
GEN. MARCHSAYS;
100000 ACROSS

WASHINGTON, oct. 11.--This is mo
time TO act on the idea that the war
is over" General March. chief of stan'
warned today in his weekly conference
with correspondents.
The thing to do is to back the gov
eminent with men and money. until
victory is certain" he said.
1t was General March's appeal for
support of the Liberty Loan.
America has now reached nearly D.
OO0, 900 men in troop shipments from
her shores, General March announced
today.
More than 1900, 900 men are en-
barked, General March said, ana ship
ments are continuing.
To assure victory the war depart
ment changed the draft ages so that
.OOO. coo men might reach France as
soon as possible, and asked more money
for supplies and ordnance.
The capture Of lie Cateau by the
British, General March pointed out
brings the allied forces to within four
teen miles of the most strategic town Oh
Aulnoye-the great junction point OF
two railroads comprising the chief ar
terry of communication of the German
forces i'm Belgium and France. one
Branch leads to Maubeuge and Llege
and the other leads to Metz An adj
vance of a few more miles, he said, will
put this point under command OF the
allied guns.
The enemy's resistance in the LIE Ca
teau region is shattered and constant
pressure of the allied forces is keep
ing the GnermaS constantly on the go, ne
declared.
In the north the British are twelve
miles from Nalenciennes and communi-
cations with Douai are threatened.
From September 1 to 30, he said, the
allies captured 2,S44 officers, 120, 1872
men. 1000 guns ana more than lO,OOO
machine guns.
From July 10 to September 10 they
captured 24S,4S4 men, 1888 guns and
vast quantities of other weapons. These
figures do not include captures of men
and material by General Allenby in
Palestine, he explained.
In the Balkans and in Albania, March
points out, the allies are pressing for
ward.
General March located specific units
as follows:
Ninety-first division in the training
area ia France; Delaware troops con-
tanned in the Seventy-eighth division
have been recently reported on the line,
exact location, unknown; Three Hun
dred and Twenty-ninth infantry and the
Eighty-third are in the training area in
France; One Hundred and Forty-sev-
enth,is i'm the Vosges on the line; Third
division. composed of the Fourth, Sew
enth and Thirtieth infantry and the
Tenth, Eighth and Seventy-siXth field
artillery was reported in the Marine at
tack; the Three Hundred and Twentieth
field artillery and the Eighty-second
division were reported east of the Ar
gonne October Z.
The first courier from General PERISH
ing carrying the hospital records of the
expeditionary forces for slightly wound
ed men has arrived, General March
said, the lists including approximately
10000 names. This number, he said,
was the accumulation for all the period
up to the time it was decided to bring
theSelistS by couriers.

'APERS PREPARE PUBLIC

newspapers received here reveal a
number of long articles apparently in
tended to prepare the public for q
further development of the peace move
ment and containing favorable refer
ence to President Wilson's formula.
Theodore VOLTS article in the Tage-
blatt takes the form of an imaginary
appeal to President Wilson from some
friend familiar with Europe, for eX-
ample, Henry Morgenthau, former am
bassador to Turkey, painting a picture
of Germany misled by the false pam
German prophets. but loving peace,
with its whole soul, and having learned
its lesson, now ready for Wilsonian
peace.
Professor Gravenitz, in the Vossische
Zeitung reviews the events which grad
ually alienated the United States from
Germany while President Wilson was
trying to bring about peace, his efforts,
however, being nullitied by the German
To-day" the professor concludes,
I'VE have a government strong enough
to assert it's will for peace and it is
again the presidents turn"
The Socialist Norwaerts prints an
article seeking to show that the Ger
man people have confidence in Presi-
dent Wilson's ideals and sense of JUS
tice.
Commenting on President Wilson's
response to the German peace note, the
Strassburg Post says:
THE ray Of peace has not yet dis
appeared. but il is enveloped in a thick
fog The only hope lies in the fact
that our note was not entirely rejected.
Whatever our desire for peace may be,
the condition under which i can be
realized"
