SURGEON GENERAL BLUE SAYS
ALL PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS
SHOULD CLOSE WHEREVER EPI-
DEMIC is PREVALENT.
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Oct. 4-The only way
to stop the spread of Spanish influen-
"a is to close churches, schools, thea
tres and public institutions in every
community where the malady has de-
veloped is the opinion of Surgeon
General Blue Of the Public Health
service.
There is no way to put a nationwide
closing order into effect, said Mr.. Blue
today, "as this is matter which is
up to the individuaf communities. /
hope that thos having the proper au-
thority will close all public gathering
places if their community is threat
ened with the epidemic. This will do
much toward checking the spread OF
the disease.
DR.. Blue said that Delaware which
yesterday was recorded among the
three, eastern states free from the dis
ease has now reported an epidemic.
All public gatherings have been for
hidden there and the schools. thea
tres and churches ordered closed.
"Our call for physicians has been
generously answered." Dr.. Blue said,
"but it will be necessary for us to
extend that call to localities far re-
moved from the districts in which the
disease is raging. The call will be
extended as soon as it is necessary
for us to have the services Of more
physicians"
Senator King of Utah is the first
senate member reported a victim Of
the epidemic. He has been confined
since last Sunday, but his condition
is not serious.
No requests for the suspension OF
physical examinations OF draft reg
istrantS were received by Provost
Marshal General Crowder today.
though in Massachusetts and Phila-
delphia the work has been stopped be-
cause of the influenza epidemic. It
was said today that except in locali-
ties where conditions were particular
ly bad, the examinations would be al
lowed to proceed.
The examinations upon which local
boards everywhere are now engaged
affect men between 10 and 81 years
of age, who registered on September
II and have been placed in class I.
ready for immediate calls. The first
large call for men in October which
would have taken 1000 into canton
ments on October 8. still remains sus-
pended, and the epidemic conditions
both in camps and among the popu-
Iation generally are not considered
sufficiently improved to allow the re-
instatement of the order for the move-
ment of the men.
Epidemic Continues to Spread.
The Spanish influenza epidemic
its rapid spread both among civilian
population and army camps. Reports
to the ublic health service showed the
disease epidemic in many more cities,
while nearly $4,000 new cases were re-
ported in camps. Besides New Eng
land, the disease has reached epidemic
proportions in New Jersey, parts of
Alabama, Virginia, Pennsylvania and
Delaware.
There is no record to show the
pneumonia and deaths among civil
ians, but pneumonia cases in camps
have nearly doubled, being 1854 today
against $50 yesterday. Deaths de-
creased, being 331 against $50.
