TN spite of the efforts of the
Germans to check the ad-
vance of the Allies in Bel
gium, the British, French and
Belgians continue their sweep
ing march from Tournai to the
Dutch frontier. Official reports
show that they have reached
points within ten miles of Ghent.
The Belgians are along the
Weynze-Eecloo canal, which
runs northward from kys river
to Zeebrugge, and have taken a
number of important points near
that waterway. Farther south,
the French have crossed the Lys
and have established bridgeheads
at various points. Along the
Lys, the British second army has
moved swiftly toward the
Scheldt river and are at Pecq, on
the west bank of the river.
In this sector of the battle line,
the Allies are moving toward the
southeast and it seems they will be
able to reach Client with their main
forces in a very short time. The
Germans have flooded some of the
country, but this has failed to in
terfere with the progress of the
armies commanded by King Albert.

various illnesses, have been removed
to their cottages and the entire hos
Ipital has been thrown open to take
care of influenza cases in Elizabeth

DR.. Roger in discussing the pre-
lparation for handling the epidemic
of influenza in Pennsylvania, said:
"The highest compliment that could
have possibly been paid to the last
Commissioner of Health, DIR. Samuel
G.. Dixon, has been paid him in
working out the methods for hand
ling the present widespread epidemic
of influenza in Pennsylvania.

Appeal For Fresh Air
The State Department of Health
has issued an Appeal to the Travel
ing Public" to-day:
Good ventilation and the avoiding
of crowds are important factors in
preventing the spread of influenza.
The State Commissioner of Health
has endeavored to prevent crowdtng
ipublic gatherings and ordering the
land bad ventilation by prohibiting
closure of places where people con-
gregate. 1t is not practicable how
ever, to make this order so far reach
ing as to stop the operation of steam
and electric railways.
Unfortunately, our trolley cars
and railroad coaches are often over
icrowed and badly ventilated, espe-
cially in cool weather when the old
fashioned idea prevails that 1t is
dangerous to sit by an open window.
while persons think nothing of TAX
ling long trips in open automobiles
and sleighs in severe weather, many
individuals seriously object to having
car windows open even in moderately
cool weather.
THE State Department of Health
lappeals to the travelling public to
wear heavier clothing or carry an
extra coat while riding and to insist
thatthe car windows be left open"

West of the Argonne forest, the

LIE Chesne is an important highway

which runs southwark to Buzancy,
behind the front where the Germans
are striving to stop the American
drive on the line from the Argonne
