drifts until Monday afternoon
and no trains were running until
Tuesday, neither were there
any cars on the interurban from
Friday night until Tuesday aft
ernoon. A few trains managed
to get through on the Pennsyl-
vania Lines, but We're from two
to eight hours behind schedule.
Not much mail was received in
the city and TO daily papers from
Dayton or Cincinnati up to Tues
day. The temperature on Sat
urday morning went down to l8
and q degrees below zero, caus-
ing much suffering and the freez-
ing up ard bursting of many wa
ter pipes all over town, doing
more or less damage. besides the
inconvenience occasioned. 1t was
the coldest here on Saturday
since 1881, in which year some
citizens say it was 26 to % de-
grees below zero. Many persons
had ears, noses and fingers frozen
while compelled to be out in the
storm. On Saturday the country
roads were so blocked by huge
drifts as to make them utterly
impossible and very few vent
ured out to try them. Some bus
mess houses closed up Saturday
afternoon, for lack of trade. To
cap it all, many households were
low on coal and other fuel, and
no coal has come to town this
week, unless it arrived since
Tuesday. 1t is said a conductor,
motorman and one passenger on
the last car out Of Dayton Friday
night had a trying experience.
The car stuck in a drift below
Arcanum and they used up all the
coal they had to keep warm and
this becoming exhausted they a.
bandoned the car and by hard
work made their way through
the deep snow to the nearest
farm house, which they reached
after midnight completely ex-
hausted and all badly frost t-hitten.
It is said, also, that a Cincinnati
Northern freight train got stalled
in a drift north of town and was
almost entirely covered up with
snow before it could be moved.
More snow, to a depth of six in
ches. fell Monday night, which
also was greatly drlfted by q
wind that sprung up during the
night, and in places about town
the snow is now piled up to {
height of eight or ten feet
There must be three feet or more
on a level now; covering the
ground. We have had more snow
and more continuous cold wealth
er since the first OF December
than the oldest inhabitant can
call to mind, and it is the worst
tie-up of railroad traffic since the
food Of March. 1918.

ALLIED VICTORY COMPLETE
VAST PITCHED BATTLE
Germans in Full Retreat Between Cambria
and ST. Quentin, Unable to Put Up
Serious Resistance.

London, Oct. 1o.-Tuesday's battle
was one Of the great pitched battles
of the war. detailed dispatches from
the British front today showed. 1t
ended in complete victory for the
allies-so complete that the Ger
mans between Cambria and st.
Quentin were yesterday in full re-
treat, incapable of offering any seri-
Gus resistance to our advance.
They must have thrown into the
battle more than twenty divisions
say 10000 bayonets-and they lost
1l,OoO prisoners and 200 guns.
1t is very likely that II the allies
had not struck on Tuesday the
enemy would have been slipping
away. Fires are burning in many
towns and he is effecting what de-
struction he can. but in the country
the allies have overrun in the past
twenty-four hours there has been
little time for the foe to ply the
torch. villages have fallen intact
into our hands and thousands OF
French civilians have been released.
In Cambria many explosions have
been taking place, reducing the
place practically to ruins.
PerciTal Phillips. describing the
release of civilians from the cap
tured villages, says:
las they approached Solvigny. about
a mile to the northeast. our troops
saw people waving bits of cloth and
making earnest gestures. At first
they were thought to be Germans de-
string to surrender, but an inspection
through the glasses showed that they
were agitated civilians beckoning the
British to approach. Our men were
greeted with tears and laughter as
they entered Caullery.

New Unit Organized.
The Bureau Of Sanitary Service of
the Red Cross has organized a unit
in this city to aid the authorities in
their fight against the epidemic. The
unit will be under the direction of DIR.
Mustard, in charge of the Public
Health Service Bureau in this city.
Numberless requests for a vaccine
which would protect against the dis
ease have been received from all over
the country at the United States Pub
lie Health Service. The service has
in every case been forced to reply that
the use OF vaccine cannot be recon-
mended, since the question is still in
the experimental stage. The hygienic
laboratory viii make every effort to
determine what value If any vaccine
may have on influenza.

G. W. u. Professor
Suggests That All
Wear Gauze Masks

To Editor The Washington Herald:
In view of the fact that the exist
ing epidemic OF influenza is on the
increase, despite heroic measures
taken by the health authorities, and
considering the fact that some of the
measures as taken involve loss Of
valuable time and decrease of pro-
duction, l feel it incumbent upon me
to call the attention of the public
and profession to a very elementary
precaution, which as readily will be
seen, should eliminate the chief cause
of the spread of this contagion.
II has been demonstrated that the
chief source of infection is by inha-
lation of the bacteria through the
mouth and nose and as this is most
likely to occur where people come in
to close contact as in street cars, ele-
vators, offices, stores and crowded
streets, it is quite evident that a
means of preventing such a mode Of
infection should speedily check the
epidemic. The use Of a gauze mask
fulfls these requirements. / suggest
therefore the use of gauze masks by
all persons while assoclating with
others to whom or from whom the
disease might be contracted.
A mask of gauze is a simple thing
and of negligible cost, yet it would
effectively If not absolutely prevent
minute droplets and vapor of the
breath laden with bacteria from pass
ing into the air from the mouth or
nose Of the persons infected. 1t would
likewise block ingress of the bacteria
so disseminated into the mouth or
nose of a healthy individual
Considering the fact that this dis
ease attacks without apparent discrim-
ination both the robust and the weak,
this preventive means should appeal
to all classes Of persons.
therefore earnestly suggest that
all possible publicity be given to this
plan that the public may eventually
adopt IL as the logical method of
speedily blotting out the spread of the
disease.

BOCHE FLIER COVERS
TO IRATE HOUSEWIFE

Paris, Oct. 1O.-A German flier,
winged by an Archie, came down on
the roof of a Flemish cottage. His
propeller cut through the thatch like
cheese, and his rudder stood up in the
air, while the fiier was pitched into
the orchard. Out Of the house came
the mistress and advanced on the
dazed airman. She caught him by the
collar of his tunic, shook her fist in
his face, asked him what he meant
by smashing UP her cottage and de-
manded payment for the damage. The
Hun shrank from her like a small boy
caught in a theft, greeted eagerly q
group of Tommies who came UP and
took him into custody and showed H.
