Germany at Last Admits
Our Strength in France

Amsterdam, Aug. 2S.-At last the
German press has given up struggling
against the truth. In a short notice,
which appears in virtually all the
papers, the Identical nature of which
suggests official inspiration, the re-
luctant admission is made that Secre-
tary Bakers figures regarding the
strength of the American forces in
France are about correct.
One or two papers add the lame ex-
planation that their former figures
were based on the position prior to
May, and that the really big ship
ments of men from America began
since then.

.EARLHAM AGAIN
IN QUARANTINE

Earlham college will be quarantined
under the new ban in the same manner
as it was under the previous ban.
The day students will come into the
,dormitories or get their assignments
on the telephone and see their profess
sors. DR.. Edwards said this morning
that the majority of day students came
in the last time and would probably
do so this time, but that he probably
would make a ruling whereby students
who are situated so they can not
come into the dormitories, may come
OIL the campus and attend the classes
providing they wear flu masks.
The faculty members who do not
come into contact with the disease in
their homes or elsewhere will go to
and from as before. Those who
have it in theiI homes or who are
apt to come in contact with it, will re-
main at the college.
There has not been a single case
Of influenza in Earlham but Dr.. Ed
wards said that conditions might not
be as favorable this time as there
seem to be more cases everywhere
now than there have been before.
Twelve cases could be isolated at
Earlham but if there should be more
it would be necessary to take the pa
tients elsewhere.
