Situation Causes Ban In Nearly
Every County.

BUSINESS of Epidemic.
NO GENERAL ORDER IN EFFECT
State viii See What Local
Boards Can Accomplish.
Western Section of Kansas Is
Especially Hard Hit.

Practically every county in the state
IS today operating under an absolute
or partial flu ban. Announcement by
the state board of health today was
to the effect that influenza conditions
in the state are becoming worse. Lo-
cal health authorities have provided
restrictions in practically every
county.
While scores of towns are now un-
der some restrictions, few local dis
tricts are affected by the orders. Pos
sibly as a result of this fact, the num-
Der of cases in the rural districts have
greatly increased. Health authorities
in Minneapolis today asked for seven
nurses. 1t was stated that there were
but few cases in the town and that
practically the entire nursing staff
was needed in the country. Similar
conditions appAy in Republic county,
where the towns of Belleville and
Scandia are under bans, but no orders
have been issued for the county at
large.
Every mail brings to the state health
department reports of new cases. The
situation is extremely serious in the
western half of the state, altho prac-
tically every. community in the state is
affected. a. blanket order for the
state will not be issued, however, un-
less there is showing that the situa-
ton cannot be met by local orders.
The recent damp, cold weather is held
by the state department to have been
largely responsible for the increase in
cases reported.

Wilson Holds Final Conference
on His Message.
Talk With McAdOo as to His
Successors.

Washington, Nov 29.-President

with his advisers before completing
his annual message to congress. Be
sides the regular cabinet meeting this
afternoon, at which he expected to go
over phases of his reconstruction mes
sage, the president planned to confer
with Secretary McAdoo as to who
sl-all be secretary of the treasury and
director general of railroads.
The presidents forthcoming mes
sage promises to be one of the most
important of his career. In it he is
expected to lay down his domestic
policies. Whether he will embody in
it his statement to the country on his
peace mission and the precise posi-
ton he expects to take with regard
to his principles at the peace table
was still in doubt.
May Talk Monday.
If congress meets promptly so that
he can address it Monday, the presi-
dent will sail Tuesday.
