Il was announced that the total up 10

Team captains this morning were a

One OF the most flattering results
or the work OF organization, is the
way In which the foreign born have
responded. Their committees started
in with a rush, and as a consequence
have shown excellent reports. II is
estimated that the foreign born at many

The worst outbreak OF an epidemic
in the history Of the city," is the sum-
ming up OF the Spanish Influenza situ-
alton today by DR.. Robert E. Ellegood,
president OF the Wilmington Board Oh
Health. Up TO o'clock this morning,
thirty-elght physicians had reported
2,i42 cases OF Spanish inuilenza IN the
city. This is far from complete rec
ord, as mary physicians have not sent
in reports, and there are doubtless
many cases not yet called to the ply
sician's notice The city Board OF
Health Is deeply concerned over the
gravity OF the situation, and while tax
ing measures Immediately, Will hold
meeting this afternoon to see what fur-
ther steps are advisable.
The one cheering feature Of the SIT
uation is that the number Of deaths IS
small compared with the large number
az people sick with the disease. There
were only ten deaths reported TO the
CITY Board Of Health last week when
could be attributed directly or indi-
rectly 20 the Spanish influenza. a NUM-
ber OF deaths were reported today;
The full fury Of the epidemic mas
descended upon the men working IN
the Industrial plants, and the Board Of
Health is OF the opinion that the CON
gested housing conditions among the
vorkmen is directly responsible for the
swift spread OF the epidemic among
them. Most rural districts are COM
paratively free from the disease.

difference in the fighting Of that time
and now. what each year of preparing
is doing for us in the way of modern
achievements.
His lecture was followed by the
showing Of series of motion pictures
taken right in the midst Of the fray and
during which the photographer at sew
eral times endangered his life. in order
to show to the American public actual
warfare as it is staged today Even to
going up in a French airpiane to get
