Saloons Shut Up Tight by
Drastic Quarantine Promul-
gated by State Health De-
partment; Schools Open
ALL PUBLIC MEETINGS O.,
MUST BE CALLED OFF
Gatherings of All Kinds I'm
lawful Under Terms of the
Spanish Influenza Ruling;
Situation Is Serious

All places of amusements and
saloons in the city were closed
to-day, all churches and Sunday
schools ordered to discontinue
services until further notice 4;
meetings, lodge sessions, public
dances and all other public gath
erings ordered to be discontinued
because of the drastic action
taken by the State Department
of Health and the City Health
Bureau to prevent a spread of
Spanish influenza.
There are almost 1000 cases
of the disease in the city now
with number of them develop
ing into pneumonia, DR.. !. M.
j. Raunick, city health officer,
reported. The State Department
last night issued the closing
order for the entire state, but left
the question of closing churches,
Sunday schools and public
schools to local health officials.
Schools Remain Open
DR.. Raunick announced that for
the present the public schools will
not be closed as it is better to have
the thousands of school children
in the buildings under proper medi-
cal supervision. All children who
are coughing, sneezing or otherwise
show that they are suffering from
colds, grips or influenza are to be
sent home at once. DIR. Raunick
declared it will be much better to
have the children where they can be
watched rather than to turn them
| loose and give them an opportunity
to go into homes where persons are
suffering from the diseases, or tC
| play with children who are ill.
The decision to close all churches
and Sunday schools was reached
shortly before noon to-day at a con-
ference of prominent clergymen who
met in the city health bureau offices

while two additional companies are

Myer, Va.
Whatever place camouf1age may have
had in previous wars, the use of deadly
gases was first resorted to in modern
times by the Germans in 1915, when
at the battle of Ypres it was used with
such CHASTITY results against the Cana
dian forces. The claim, however, was
made by the Germans that prior to
that time the giant shells of the Brit
ish contained poisonous gases. 1nyes-
tigation later proved that large shells
bursting in a restricted area, SUCH as a
trench or dugout, do not always en-
tirely explode, with the consequent
forming of gas which may prove
fatal to those inhaling it. The first
intentional use of deadly gas was by
the Germans.
Gas as medium of destruction is
not only the most effective weapon
which can be employed, bat is the
cheapest when it's cost is compared
with that of ammunition generally
