of your paper and trust that his sug

over the county. We cannot show too
much appreciation of the sacrifice made
by the boys who went from Garrett
county at the call of our nation and it
seems to me that some permanent
memorial should be erected in their
honor. Just what form this should take
is a matter, which, in nv opinion,

The suggestion of Mr.. E. H. Sin
cell, of Oakland, to erect a memorial
to the young men of the county who
went out from us and engaged in the
World War, which was printed in the
columns of The Republican of last
week, has been received most heart
lily by the people in many sections of
the county. The movement has met
with the commentator of men in all
walks of life, including professional
men, ministers, bankers, farmers and
business men generally, as will be
seen by reading the following letters
approving the project:

To the War Mothers of Garrett Co.:
The project of making memorial
to our sons who have been and are
now in the service of the country,
should strongly appeal to us. Ours
are the hearts that have been heavy
some broken-by the cruel fate of
war.
Some of our loved ones will not re-
turn to US while some will come home
again. 1t has not been the privilege
of all our sons who entered the serv-
ice to cross the sea and meet the en-
envy on the field of battle, but it was
in the hearts of those in the camps
preparing for the conflict to fully
perform their part in the war, and
honor is due to them as well as to
those at the front, and l feel that the

EPIDEMIC HERE HALTS
INFLUX OF WAR WORKERS
Number Of Applicants Seeking Ac-
Communications Drops to
100 Day.

That the nationwide prevalence Of
influenza has caused a decrease in
the influx of war workers to WASH
ington is indicated by a drop in the
number of persons now applying to
the United States home registration
service for accommodations.
During the first days of the cpl
demic in the neighborhood Of $50
persons a day visited the registration
office. 1414 H street, for rooms. Edwin
S. Hege. manager of the office, esti-
mated today that the number has
fallen to about 100 a day.
Mr.. Hege said he agreed with the
public health service that it would be
unwise to bring any more persons
than are absolutely necessary for war
work to Washington at this time.
The house-to-house canvass which
was being made by soldiers to list
vacant rooms for newcomers has been
stopped until the epidemic subsidies.
The home registration service, it
was learned today, has created a well
fare division, with Mrs. Margaret
Vail at it's head, to assist in every
way possible in making young woman
war workers comfortable. Mrs. Vail
will work in corporation with the
welfare organizations which already
exist among the woman employees Of
many government bureaus.

WITH THE ALLIED ARMIES IN
BELGIUM, October 1S.-In many of
the towns and localities where the
allied troops have swept past celebra-
lions over their deliverance from the
Germans were carried on all day to-
day by the people. In Lille there
were crowds in the streets, singing,
cheering and throwing roses every
where. The people have become so
demonstrative in many places that
they have interfered slightly with the
work of the soldiers. Runners and
dispatch riders obliged to pass
through Courtrai, for instance. have
not been making as good time as
usual.
This fact came to the knowledge of
q British brigadier general. who or
fore him. One blushingly said that
the charge against him and the others
was quite true, adding, But we
couldn't help the delay, sir, for every
time we go through a town we have
each been soundly kissed. 1t wouldn't
were in hurry. They just insist on
stopping your motor cycle, all want
ing to kiss you at one time" What
the brigadier general said is not re-
corded. but the charges against the
men were dropped.
1t has been learned from resident
of Courtrai that German cavalry
officers were giving ball there
celebrating the return of peace on
the night the city was taken. At the
middle of the dance British infantry
which had broken through the de-
lenses to the west stormed into the
town and the German cavalry handles
had to run for their lives.
Lille Joyously Celebrates.
In Lille the population celebrated
throughout last night. shooting off
fireworks and dancing in the streets
while whole streams of old and
young women and elderly men
paraded around arm in arm singing
the Marseillaise. The soldiers and
official photographers were smothered
with kisses and babies by the score
were held up to be kissed by the Brit
iSh soldiers.
Every street in the city. which
shows no outward sign of war, was
bedecked with the colors of the
allies especially with the British
union jack, on which was written:
GLORY to our liberators." The citi-
zens explained that they had kept
the flags we'll hidden in their houses
especially for this occasion. for which
they had been waiting four years and
were certain would come. sooner or
later.
Flowers plucked from nearby fields
and roses from gardens were thrown
into automobiles and pressed upon
every man wearing the British uni
form. The fighting British troops did
