NEW YORK, Oct 18.-(Compiled
from news dispatches during the dayl
Germany has apparently lost the
whole of the Belgian coast, which for
four years has been the base of SUBJ
marine and aerial attacks against
England and English shipping Os-
tend has been taken, Lille has been
occupied and Douai has fallen to the
allies.
Belgian patrols are said to be in
Bruges. which is only about eight
miles from the Dutch frontier. Ger
man forces, defeated and virtually de-
moralized, are said to be in full re-
treat toward Antwerp.
Over wide section Of the front in
Belgium and norther France, the Brit
ish, French and belgian armies have
swept forward with relentless speed,
crushing rear guard detachments left
behind by the Germans to retard pur-
suits. Immense quantities of ma
terials have been captured by the al
lies and the number of prisoners taken
is steadily increasing.
Keeping step with this movement
although at slower pace, the allied
forces further south have been NOV
ing ahead From reports, it would
appear that two American contin-
gents are operating in front east OF
Cambria and st. Quentin. One is
working with the British, and is aid
ing in the advance into the German
defense east of lie Cateau. The otser
is with the French, and is materially
assisting in the attempt to smash in
the right flank of the German salient
northeast of Laon.

DAYS SAY DOCTORS
DANGER OF RELAPSE is VERY
GREAT AND FATALITY OF DIS
EASE is LARGELY INCREASED
IN SUCH CASES.-TWO DAYS IN

The prevalence of Spanish influenza
in Americus is a topic of general dis
cussion nowadays, and today it is re-
ported that little likelihood exhists
of either churches, theatres or schools
re-opening next week at least. There
is a we'll defined opinion among the
physicians. here that the soda foun-
tains and soft drink places should all
be closed during the continuance OF
the epidemic. and this may be order
ed any day.
The wearing of gauze masks is
recommended, especially by those
living in homes where cases of the
disease have appeared, ana more OF
these are being worn every day Hun,

gists and recommended by physicians
as an excellent safeguard against in
lection This is used as often As
convenient, especially before leaving
ones home for a trip uptown, and
before leaving ones office for a trip
through the business section.
The physicians also advise people
to avoid gatherings of all sorts !;
those who have no business demand
ing their presence on the streets are
urged to remain inside their homes,
or at least upon their own premises.
Persons with colds should be especi-
ally careful, and parents should not
kiss their children if either have the
least indication of a cold; engaged
couples should likewise protect them
selves against infection, and persons
who have colds should at once begin
wearing a mask.
One other precaution very urgent
ly recommended is that all persons
who may be recovering from attacks
OF "flu" remain in their homes at least
four days after all fever has left
them. Two of these days should be
2pent in bed, and On the two last days
the patient should be especially care
f,t; not to overtax his or her strength,
as this invites a relapse, which is the
most fatal stage of the disease. Such
persons should wear a gauze mask
constazdy, both as precaution
against re-infection themselves and
as protection to the friends and
neighbors.

TECHIEL TCHLENOW.

In the death of Jechiel Tch1enow
Zionism has lost one of its great
leaders. Tchlenow, together with
DR.. Weitzman and N. Soko1ow has
done most of the recent diplomatic
work that has brought Zionism to
it's present stage of international
political recognition. But Tchle-
now's activity extends over the en-
tire period of Zionism, from the
very inception of the "Hoveve
Zion' movement, Of which he was
one Of the first organizers in Rus
sio. He was one of Herbs CHIEF
assistants, and after Herbs death
was entrusted with some of the most
important Zionist activities of the
main office in Berlin.
Next to Herz1, Tchlenow was
probably the most popular leader
with the Zionist masses. That was
due to his democratic spirit, his
modesty, and gentleness. Yet no
one led with firmer hand. His
loss will be keenly felt in the Coun-
ellis of the leaders of the movement.
But his name will remain inscribed
in the hearts Of a grateful people to
whose future rehabilitation he de-
voted his life.

AN ACTION THAT MERITS
SPECIAL RECOGNITION.

In the interviews with prominent
business men which the various pa
pers published Immediately after
the announcement of a period of
"coalless days" was made by the
government, Albert H. Loeb, vice
president of the Sears oebuck
Company, was the first to announce
that his firm intended to stand the
entire loss involved by the suspen-
sion of it's business by paying the
employees as usual After this came
announcements from other liberal
business firms, followed by an APP
peal by DR.. Garfield, national fuel
administrator, that others follow
this truly patriotic example. We
congratulate Mr.. Loeb for grasping
as quickly as he did one of the most
important aspects of the order sus-
pending the business of the Nation
and for acting SO promptly not only
to reassure the employees of the great
mail order house of which he is the
working head, but to remind other
huge business establishments of
their duty. Sundays papers carried
DR.. Garfield's acknowledgement of
appreciation to all employers of
Chicago who followed the example

That Americas air fleet is about to

Of 1874 chauffeurs and motor truck

IMPORTANT RULING OF WAR
DEPARTMENT.

calls attention to the provisions
made by the government for the sup
port of the families of soldiers and
sailors. The Board, through it's sec
retaries at the camps, offers to assist
all soldiers in presenting their indi
vidual cases to the government. The
government issues life insurance, for
which insurance applications of the
men at the environments and else
where, must be filed before February
II. The Welfare Board emphasizes
the desirability of taking this insur-
ance, in order to provide for the sol
der in case of injury and for his
family in case Of death, and asks the
nearest relative of soldiers and sail
ors, whether the husband, son,
grandson, brother or sister, to urge
upon the soldier the advisability of
taking out the government insur-
ance.
The government will allow to the
wife of an enlisted person, with no
child, $500 a month above his pay;
to wife and one child, $500; to
a wife and two children, $3.50, with
S. per month additional for each
additional child. Allowances are also
made for parents, grandchildren,
brothers and sisters.
Through the efforts of the Joint
Distribution Committee, the Jewish
Board for Welfare Work announces
a ruling has been procured, whereby
American soldiers and sailors, by
filling out Form 1B, relating to
compulsory allotments of their pay,
and swearing to an affidavit before
their commanding officer and which
ruling includes enlisted men and
nurses, both male and female, non
commissioned and petty officers and
members of training camps, may
designate wives and children in "Oc-
cupied Territories" to receive the
allOtments, to which the United
States will add, for each grandchild,
parent, brother or sister, $40
month $40 month for two parents,
SIS each for grandchi1d, brother, sis
ter or additional parent including
parentsin-law, at the rate of S. a
month. Under form SO the volun-
tary allotment of pay may be made
by arrangement with the Quarter
master General, who will transfer
such funds to the Joint Distribution
Committee, which, acting under the
War Trade License, will transmit
voluntary a1lotments abroad to re1a-
tives of American soldiers and sail
ors in the "OCcupied Territories.
