 to Mir Dave Denny, who recently re- did not contract the disease at all, as d result of the precaution taken The Flu is said to have been brought to the lower end of the settlement by several natives who came from Teller and entered the Igloo without being aware of the quarantine established ] by the Bureau of Education official On hearing that the men were In | town.

The result of th's action was that only the natives in the lower section contracted the disease. 6S of them died up to the time NIT. Denny left.

Mayor Lomen, who is Chairman of the local army draft board. is in rec eipt of a message from Juneau quot ing a telegram from the commanding officer at Ft. Seward regarding the procedure wich must be followed in the ease of soldiers seeking discharge from the military service. In gen. eral terms the message states that applications for the discharge of army recruits on grounds which make him eligible must originate with the soldier. Applications from other quarters will not be considered, except in the most urgent cases. The message asserts that orders, circulars, etc. covering the grounds upon which a soldier is eligible for discharge are published to and are not withheld from the soldiers.
 Telegrams asking for the discharge of soldiers are filed but the best help that can be afforded soldier seek ing discharge on eligible grounds is to secure employment for him and then notify the soldier-not the mill htary authorities.

With the American Army on the
Vesle, Aug. 12.-American and French
troops opposing the Germans on the
heights north of the Vesles have en-
countered fresh Prussian divisions.
Fighting in the American sectors in
this region yesterday consisted mostly
of machine gun and rifle fire and in
creased German artillery activity. The
Germans threw down two intense bar
RACES before the American positions
yesterday morning and stopped
abruptly each time, apparently in
tending to attack. But the attacks
did not materialize. either because of
the American small arm fire or the
boches' inability to "ger up enough
steam"
Yanks Unable to Gain.
American infantry advanced half
way up the slopes of a steep hill this
morning, encountering strong German
entertainments. The doughboys were
unable to hold these halfway positions
owing to the intensity of the enemy
fire and returned to their former
positions at the foot of the slopes.
American artillery continues pound
ing the Germans positions, while the
infantry snipes fro-G shell holes harass
the boches who are trying to hamper
American preparations for advancing.
Increasing activity in the air re-
suited in two fierce battles yesterday.
During one of the fights, the Ameri-
cans. altho outnumbered, brought
down two boche machines. The other
battle was indecfsive.
