Exploit of French Troops Has

French Headquarters in France:
Oct. 4.-(Reuter' s)-The capture or
Challerange, northwest of the Ar
come forest, means that the en-
cmy's second line of resistance
which he was wise enough to pre-
pare, has been preached.
This line lacks the fantastic
strength of the first line seven miles
back, but it enabled the enemy to
hold on tenaciously during the last
few days of fighting. 1t was or
ganized in great depth, like the old
line, but it has no continuous lines
OF trenches like the old front. 1t
consists OF many links of concrete
machine gun shelters, protected by
an abundance of extraordinarily
deep entanglements.
The fighting especially on the left
has been of furious character, the
Germans clinging to their positions
with the greatest obstinacy, They
began with IS divisions in the lines
and then flung in II new divisions,
all having been solemnly enjoined
by their commanders that they
must hold the ground at all costs.

Spraying Effective
As a Preventive of
Spanish Influenza

Capt. w. A. Moffett, COM
mandant OF the Great Lakes
training station, gives the fol-
lowing as the treatment used at
the station where they have had
over 5000 cases:
According to Lieutenant
Commander Owen J. Mink, med
leaf corps, U. S. NJ, the expert
ence at Great Lakes has shown
that the most potent measure in
the pregention of the disease is
the use of nasal sprays or
douches of Dobell's solution or
other mild antiseptics. Those
contracting the disease should be
put to bed Immediately and kept
there until they are entirely re-
covered. The treatment meet

FLU" BECOMES
EPIDEMIC IN
MANY CITIES
Public Health Service Urges
Prohibition of Gatherings
as Best Way to Com
bat Disease.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Spanish in
fluenza continues its rapid spread
both among the CIVILIAN population
and in army camps. Reports today
to the public health service showed
the disease had become epidemic in
many more cities, while l2,975 new
cases were reported among soldiers
training in this country.
Besides the New England district,
the disease now has reached cpl
demic proportions in New Jersey
and also in parts of Pennsylvania,
Maine, Delaware, Virginia and Ala
bama.
There was no record to show the
pneumonia and death rates among
the civilians, but in army camps
pneumonia cases nearly doubled,
being 1854 today against $50 yes
terday. Deaths in army camps,
however, decreahed, being 33l, COM
pared with 800 the day before. The
total number of influenza cases in
the camps now is 1875, pneumo-
mia cases l0,429 and deaths 1869.
Increase Heaviest at Funston.
Camp Funston, Kan. reported the
heaviest increase in influenza today,
with 1876 new cases, while Camps
Jackson, S. c., and Sherman, o.,
each reoprted more than 1000. Al
though both Camps Dix, N. J., and
Grant. Ill.,, reported fewer cases of
influenza, the pneumonia and death
rates at those points increased with
$50 pneumonia cases and 43 deaths
at Grant and l72 pneumonia cases
and 50 deaths at Dix.

| deemed necessary to control the
progress Of the epidemic:
"All crowded public indoor gath.
erings are forbidden, including
schools, moving picture shows
theaters, churches, dances, lodge
and other similar assemblies.
This does not constitute a
quarantine of the city. 1t does not
restrict in any way departure from
or enterance into the city. The con-
dition in Omaha to date is not
alarming. We are taking this dras-
tice preventative step to keep il
from becoming SO.
Avoid Crowds.
"The following information is sub.
mitted for the guidance of the pub.
lie: This disease is caused by an or
ganism existing in the mouth and
nose of affected individuals. 1t IS
spread entirely by coughing, sneez-
ing and splitting. There is very lit
tie danger of its being carried by a
third person. The first symptom
usually noticed are chills, fever
more or less severe cough and in
tense prostraton. Any person hav-
ing the general symptoms should
lose no time in going to bed and IN
calling physician.
The disease is specially dangerous
on account OF the tendency to de-
velopment of pneumonia. The best
known methods Of prevention are
avoidance of all crowds and poorly
ventilated rooms, protection of the
nose and threat of affected individ-
uals by gauze masks. These masks
should also be worn by the atten-
darits. Acid mouth washes. such as
listerine or glyco-thymolene, etc,
, should not be used. Liquid vaseline
may be dropped in each nostril
three or four times day, lO'or Il
drops each time.
physicians are requested to report
all cases to the health department.
There will be no quarantine, but iso-
alton will be strongly enforced"
Governor Neville has asked the
Omaha health board to make some
cultures of the Spanish "Au" germs
for biological work in investigating
the disease, to be carried on at the
state university.
There seems to be question in
the minds of Omaha physicians as
to whether the Spanish FLU" is
really here and some interesting de-
bates have taken place informally
among them.
One physician says he has had
five suspicious cases which could
be classed, in a symptomatic way,
as the disease, but each case was
typical, and would only produce one
symptom, instead of the general
condition. Patients would show
more of typhus or meningitis con-
ditions than they would of bronchial
or lobular complications in diagno-
sis.
