Heretofore the development bat talion has been a receiving station for all recruits and casuals in this camp.
 Under the new arrangement Q cas- ual company cares for regular duty mn not definitely attached to other units, and a recruit company cares for other incoming men. The recruit company is under Captain Fl F. Ans ley, a Colorado officer, who com manded it before its absorption into the development body some time ago. The five companies of the old devel- opment battalion structure remaining after the changes were consolidated into four, each of which has special routine, adapted to it's particular needs.

where the Americans forced their way
through to the southern edge OF

outpost of Bourgogne wood and its
outlying defensive position. That
portion of the Grand Pre- woodland still
containing Germans was cleaned up bt

INFLUENZA YIELDS
/. IN DISTRICTS FIGHT
Declines in Deaths and New
Cases as Result of Rigid
Precautions Taken.
.0FFlc1ALs FEEL HOPEFUL

Confident hope akin to assurance
that the high mark has been reached
in the influenza epidemic is felt by
the health authorities, based upon the
death record and new cases reported
for the past forty-eight hours.
Health Officer W. c. Fowler said late
last night that he felt assured that
his prophecy; as printed in The Star
Friday afternoon, to the effect that
the epidemic would show a marked
decline in the number of deaths, as
we'll as new cases Of record, in the
following forty -eight hours, had been
verified.
He pointed out that the barometer
indicating the increase of the deaths
and new cases had staggered and was
now slowly but surely falling. This
is giving encouragement and assurance
to the health officers that their strenu-
Gus work and rigid precautions have
produced results.
For the twenty-four hours from 9
o'clock Friday night up to the corre
spending hour last night there were
Sixty-Six deaths reported. For the pre-
ceding twenty-four hours-9 o'clock
Thursday night up to the same hour
Friday night-there were ninety-fve
cases. The decrease was twenty-n:ne
cases.
Official figures issued yesterday for
the twenty-fOur hours from noon Fri
day to noon Saturday showed seventy
seven deaths, as compared with the
preceding twenty-four hours-ninety-
one deaths-a decrease of fourteen.
During the same period the number of
new cases recorded was 744 as against
934 for the previous twenty-four
hours. a decrease of 100 cases.
There were no new cases reported
after midday yesterday.
Mr.. Brownlow's Condition.
Commissioner Louis Brownlow, who
was taken i'll with the influenza Fri
day noon, was resting comfortably
early Gast night, but had some fever,
Indicating that he is suffering from
the disease in mild form.
He expressed interest in the fact
that there. was a noticeable and en-
couraging decrease in the number of
deaths from the influenza, as well as
a more noticeable decrease in the
number of new cases reported.
The fact that the majority Of the
new cases being treated at the
United States Public Health Service
emergency hospital at 18th street and
Virginia avenue are said to be Of
much milder type than cases treated
a week ago, indicating that the viru
lence of the contagion. has passed, also
encouraged the Commissioner.

Observer Is Mistaken.

So rapid was the advance of the I'd
Division that the Americans had
reached the German observatory on
Blanc Mont before the German COM
mand in the rear knew what had hap
pened. The observer on duty in the
tower saw a large number of Amer
leans approaching. Knowing that the
Germans had planned strong coun-
ter attack for the same morning, he
wrote a message to his headquarters
commenting on the progress Of the
German counter attack since large
numbers of Americans could be seen
coming to the rear. He was captured
before he could send the message. -
During the day of October the
Americans made two advances of more
than two miles each. The first was
to Blanc Mont and Medeah farm, and
the second to the bank Of the River
Arnes in front Of st. Etienne.
They advanced so far there was
great danger Of their being cut of
and encircled. A French division was
put in to straighten out the line. Its
attack on the morning of October 4
was retarded by enemy gas, but on
October the line was advanced to
include the st. Etienne-Orfeuil road.
