NEW HEALTH.
ORDER
CLOSES POOL
ROOMS TO-DAY
Eight Additional Cases of
Influenza Reported to
Health Officer Peterson;
Pool Halls Closed.

Stringent amendments to his orig
inal order making Ell Centro a
"closed town" to prevent the spread
of The influenza were issued this aft
ernoon by eHalth Officer F. w. Pc
terson.
At 2 o'clock all the pool halls were
ordered shut down for an indefinite
period.
By the new order the pool halls
are permitted to keep open only their
cigar and refrshment counters, the
pool and billiard departments, where
many men congregate, being ordered
to close.
Eight new cases were reported to
DR.. Peterson yesterday, but some of
them We're so mild as to lead to rea-
sonable doubts that they were little
more than just bad colds.
Two deaths due 10 the plague have
occurred in the county, one death each
being reported from Brawley and I'M
perial. Several cases where the dis
ease has run into pneumonia have
been reported. One of the latest VIC
TINS to the "flue," according to re-
ports reaching the city officials, is
DR.. McGuffin, county health officer,
who is confined to his bed.
The city health department is con-
sidering the issuance of orders for
bidding the stages to deliver within
the city passengers suffering from
bad colds or showing symptoms Of
the Glue" This action is contem-
plated following complaints that the
stages are carrying persons in vari-
Gus stages of the disease.
To prevent any possible misunder-
standing, the health department has
repeated it's orders prohibiting the
regular services al the churches, lodge
meetings or social gatherings, on the
supposition that the "flu" is a crowd
disease.
While the circulating department of
the City Library has been allowed to
remain open, although the reading
room has been closed, DR.. Peterson
today was preparing TO request the
Library attaches to fumigate books
returned from the sources of infec-
tion
While no action has been proposed
by the county educational authorities
to close the schools in the rural dis
tricts as preventative to the spread
of the Spanish influenza, the attend.
ance has been so greatly reduced that
the instructors are almost teaching
to empty seats.

FAIL TO PUT CITY
IN LIBERTY
LOAN DRIVE

Although the goal is in sight, Ell
Centro is still approximately $4,000
short of its assigned quota of $685.
900 on the Fourth Liberty Loan, ac-
cording to a semi-official statement
issued this afternoon from the cam
paign headquarters for the city.
As the day opened with only $751;
900 lacking, it was expected that the
tabulation of business would at least
put the city "oyer the top" by a mar
row margin. But this expectation
failed to materialize and so far as
results are concerned Ell Centre is
still in the Stacker class with but
three days of the big drive remain
ing.
The largest subscriptions recorded
were $4,000 for the First National
Bank, $1,000 for that institutions
employees and $1,000 for Leroy Holt.
Mr.. Hollis large subscription was
credited to Imperial in pursuit of his
announced policy of roating his pur-
chases to the various cities Of the
Valley.
The intensive campaign, designed
to reach two classes of oepple and
eliminating in a personal, house-to-
Imperial Valley press., 1918-10-16

house canvass started today. The two
classes urged to buy bonds are: Those
who have not yet purchased any
bonds, and those who are amply able
to take more bonds than they have
already purchased.
AS an indication of the way in
which the campaign has slumped in
the city, figures given out by the
committee showed that practically
every other community in the county
will have reached or passed it's quota
by tonight.
Brawley, with a quota of $270,75O,
went over the ton last night with a
grand total of $272,S50; Imperial,
with $4,000, is only few thou
sands shy, while Calexico ranks
little ahead of Ell Centro.

GERMANS WITHDRAW IN FLANDERS
Andrade'sN
L. Loan Record

Andrade, the smallest municipality
in Imperial county, has the proudest
distinction of any city in the United
States.
Today reports were received at Lib
erty Loan headquarters that Andrade
had oversubscribed its original quota
$4,000 per cent.
Yesterday The campaign headquar-
ters were called by phone by an An
dradean, who asked what the quota of
the city would be. The answer was
given that the little town had "never
been heard of and no quota assigned -
An arbitrary allotment of $4,000 was
then made.
Today F. N. Cronholm arrived in
Ell Centro 10 report that Andrade,
with population of but eighteen per-
sons, had bought $4,000 worth of
bonds, trebling it's final quota. The
little town is inhabited by employees
of the Imperial Irrigation District.

PULL|AM[ MAY.
NOT ASSUME
SEAT AS co.
Newly-Elected Supervisor
From CalexicO Is Intent
Upon Going to War, Say
His Friends.

George L. Pulliam, well kp6wp
rancher, who was elected supervisor
from the. Calexico district at the Au-
gust primaries, may never take his
seat on the board of county commits
sioners, as he is planning on answer
ing the call to The colors, according
10 statements made today by his
friends.
Mr.. Pulliam is in the 1918 draft
in the class to be called first by the
military authorities, men of the ages
of from 10 10 36. His frienrs say
he waived all claims for exemption,
despite his many private interests and
his family, considerin gthat Uncle
Sam has a demand on him which
cannot be neglected.
He is quoted as saying: 81 am 60
ing to war and if permitted to will
enlist. I want to be on the thing
when the American army marches in
to Berlin. I am in on the present
draft and have waived all claims for
exemption, but of course do not know
when I will be called"
Mr.. Pulliam will not take his seat
as supervisor until the first of the
year and he believes there is every
chance that he will be in khaki by
that time. His successor would have
to be named by Governor w. d. Steph-
ems.

S"'|
With the Allied Armies in Belgium,
Oct. 16.-Menin has fallen and the
Allies are are mile east of Roulers.
Advanced patrols are within mile
of Coutrai and have crossed the Lys
river at Confines and Maketon. South
of the Somme, where the mud-bespat-
tered Allies are fighting forward
through rain and mist over stick
ground, the enemy has begun with
drawal. Everywhere the Germans
are fighting rearguard action with
large numbers of men involved. The
troops storming ahead lose their foot
ing in the ooze and some sink to their
knees. The wounded are returning
plastered with mud.
Today's gains further turned the
enemy lines north and south of the
area attacked.
The deepening Allied wedge in
Flanders is increasingly threatening
the German extreme right wing. APP
parently enemy resistance is slack
ening and important results may be
expected soon. The Allies have ad-
vanced two and one-half TO five miles
on front of thirty.
There is evidence that the Germans
realize that their days of occupation
of Belgium are numbered and that
they have begun their work of de-
struction in western Belgium.
Belgian cavalry are reported with
in mile of Thielt, fifteen miles south
west of Ghent.
With machine guns, some artillery
and minor counter attacks the Ger
mans have continued their desperate
resistance to General Pershing's men
along the whole line.
The Allies have resumed their Flan-
ders attacks and have made further
notable gains. Clearing weather has
aided them. The enemy heavily re-
sisted at Lichteervelde, but was over
come and the Allies have passed be-
yond the town.
The Americans near Verdun easily
repulsed counter attacks which were
apparently an effort to confuse the
Americans and gain time for the Ger
mans.
General Pershing reported substan-
tial gains on both sides of the Meuse
against stubborn resistance by the
reinforced enemy in his communique
for Tuesday.
British patrols advanced last night
in the Douai-Lille sector.
The Belgians under King Albert
are rapidly advancing along the Cor
termark- -Ehourout road and the fall
of Thourout is momentarily expected.
Its capture was prematurely reported
un officially yesterday.
The French have captured Acy-Ro-
mango, within mile of Rethel, an
important railway junction in Cham
pagne. They have progressed north
of scissors and have repulsed vio-
lent counter near st. Germain Mont.
British patrols have entered the
southwestern suburbs of Lille.
