Washington, October 23-A slight
improvement in the influenza situation
over the country was indicated by re-,
ports received yesterday by the pub
lie health service, but in many places
the epidemic apparently has yet to
reach its crest. In the far West and
on the Pacific coast the situation has
not proved nearly as serious as it did
in the East and South.
Continued abatement of the epidem-
ic in army camps was reported yes
terday to the Office of the Surgeon
General of the army. New cases dur
ing the twenty-fours ending at noon
today totaled 2,773 against 1900 the
day before, while deaths decreased
from 404 to 392. There was a slight
increase in the number of pneumonia
cases.
Army medical officers said influ-
enZa may now be said to be epidemic
in only five camps, the others report
ing less than fifty new cases each
daily. The total cases since the dis
ease became epidemic number 292,77O
with 15,497 deaths.
In the East and South generally
conditions among the civilian popu-
lation are rapidly improving, accord
ing TO reports IN the puhlic Health
Service. In the Middle West and in
the States bordering the Mississippi
and Missouri Rivers abatement of the
disease also has been noted, although
many new cases still are being re-
ported daily. In California $4,000
cases had been reported up to yes
terday. Oregon and Washington also
reported new cases and some deaths

S4,OOO,O COMPROMISE IN

Court Of Appeals Dismisses Revenue
Agents Effort to Collect
On $SO,O0O,O00.

The COMPROMISE with the l.. V.
Hardness estate for taxes and penal
ties on $4,OOOOOO for five years, 1912
to 1916, inclusive stands.
The Court of Appeals affirmed the
judgment of the Fayette Circuit Court
Byars, revenue agent, to collect taxes
on some $S0,OOO,00O of the estate.
Suits have been instituted in New
York, Kentucky and other States,
where it was claimed Hardness lived.
Suits were instituted in Fayette bS
county authorities and by Mr.. Byars.
The former entered into an agreed
judgment with the administrator on
the basis of $4,OOO,OOO.
Out of the suit the Sheriff's fees
and those of the County Attorney each
amounted to $4,000.
1t was alleged that the revenue
agent also consented; but in the ap-
peal it was alleged that consent of
the auditor and ervisor Of revenue
agents had not been obtained.
The court, however, overruled de-
murrer to the rejoinder of the ad-
ministrator and an appeal was taken,
with the result that the lower court
was affirmed.

thorities to whom he makes daily re-
ports of the influenza conditions in
Mason county, show that for the "a

The report is made from the records
of the physicians throughout the
county and is the only reliable source
of getting at the exact facts regarding
the disease. While the report of Tues
day was the first to be made by DR..
Locke and with no record for previous
days 1t is thought that, conditions are
more favorable and the reports from
day to day will show a decrease in the
number Of new cases.

PUTTING ON CITY AIRS

Ever since the influenza epidemic
caused the Board of Health to close
up all public places where crowds
were likely to congregate things have
looked kinder dull on Market street,
but yesterday they loosened up a bit
when permission was secured to sell
soft drinks provided they were not
drunk on the premises. One soft
drink emporium had quite run for
awhile, and all the customers were
lined up on the sidewalk drinking
their connections out of the bottles
putting on city airs, as it were.

day, November 2, is proclaimed Fire
and Accident Prevention day by Gov

sued today. and Fire Marshal T. b.
Pannell has appealed to Mayors and
civic organizations throughout the

ITO the People of Kentucky, Greet
ings:
"The menace of fire is greater now
than ever, and the waste resulting
from it entails more irreparable
loss. This is the time for maximum
of production and of conservation,
and a minimum of waste.
Thousands of tons Of precious
foodstuffs, millions of feet of lumber,
homes which cannot be reproduced
on account of the scarcity of labor,
all are destroyed by fire which could,
with proper care, have been pre-
vented.
1T is the duty of every citizen to
assist in the prevention of fires and
in bettering those conditions which
produce them.
81, A. o. Stanley, Governor of this
Commonwealth, therefore designate
Saturday. November 2, 1918, as Fire
and Accident Prevention day, and up
on this day call upon the people of
this Commonwealth to remove from
their premises all substances which
are liable TO produce fire. See that
all the heating devices and chimneys
are in safe condition.
81 recommend the closest inspec-
ton, especially of storehouses and
manufacturing plants, hotels and fac
tories, and call upon the local au-
thorities to give careful attention to
fire prevention, fire protection and the
prevention of accidents.
81 ask that fire drills and exercises
be held in all public and private
schools, and that instructions and les
sons be given in fire protection and
fire prevention, and against accidents
of every nature"

TIMELY WARNING
GIVEN BY HEALTH
OFFICER LOCKE
DIR. Locke, Health Officer Of Mason
County Has Given to the Public n
Very Timely Warning and II
Should Be Needed.

Influenza is crowded disease.
Therefore, keep yourself and family
away from, crowds.
Influenza spreads mostly by inhal-
ing some of the tiny troplets of germ
laden mucous sprayed into the air
when carless people sneeze or cough
without using handkerchief There
fore, cover up each sneeze or cough,
Every person attacked by the dis
ease should at once go to his home
for the safety of the community, to his
isolated room for the safety of his
family, and to his bed under the care
of a physician, for his own welfare,
moving the bowels freely until the
doctor arrives.
If not a doctor or attendant on the
sick, stay and keep your family in
your own freely ventilated home.
Wear a we'll adjusted mask if you
must go into possibly infected places,
and wash the hands and face and
cleanse the nose and throat WIN
warm salt solution as soon as you get
home. Physicians and nurses should
be even more exacting about these
precautions, changing and boiling the
mask every two or three hours.
The State Board, the Public Health
Service and your own local Health
Board will assist in every away posi-
BILE, in protecting you, but their chief
reliance in doing this must be the
physicians and volunteer practical
nurses of each community in getting
relief to you.
We repeat for the purpose of en-
phasizing it, that influenza is crowd
disease-keep away from crowds.
You will greatly aid in the control
and in preventing the spread of in
fuenza by observing these simple in
functions.

Great Yankee Blow at Metz Expected

Great Yankee Blow at Metz Expected
The eyes of the Allies world are
now directed at the Lorraine and
Woevre sectors in expectation of an
American onslaught of Metz. There
have been raiding operations there
and further west during the past few
days, and raids are usually the pre-
cursors of an attack. 1t has been
established that Metz is the hinge
upon which the whole German line is
retiring, and blow at that fortress
might. II successful, throw into con-
fusion the whole retrograde move
ment which is going on from the
Meuse to the North sea.
Standing behind the Scheldt river,
the Germans seem, for the moment
at least, to have stabilized their line,
and the swift advance of the Bel
gians, British and French has been
slowed down. British troops have
succeeded in crossing the river east
of Pecq, north of Valenciennes. That
city, too, has been entered by the
British, but it seems that part of the
place is still held by the enemy.
Further south the British, Ameri-
cans and French are fighting hard in
their attempts to break the Hunding
line. This defensive position. while
not as formidable as the Hindenburg'
line, is sufficiently strong to delay
the Allies advance materially.
