May Keep Uniforms

According to a statement by Secre-
tary Baker the War Department has
decided that all discharged soldiers
may permanently retain the uniforms
worn when mustered out Previously
the department had planned to have
the clothing returned to the govern
ment three months after the soldiers
discharge. No orders have been is
sued regarding the return of uniforms
of men who were discharged from the
army because of physical disability,
but wherever the uniforms have al
ready been returned to the govern
ment. it is not likely that they can
be recovered.

No Let Up on influenza Fight-Ban
to Continue to February l

The city and county health boards
and the school board held joint
meeting last night to consider the ad-
visibility of reopening schools and
public gatherings. 1t was decided that
owing to the improved condition it
would be wise to continue the ban un-
til February 1st, hoping thereby to
forestall any further outbreak of the
disease.
There are at present only six cases
on record, Flue Inspector Parks an
nounced this afternon, and these will
very soon be released. 1t begins TO
look as though the flu inspector would

the small but massive two wheeled
carts of the natives drawn by one or
two shaggy dirty horses. Horses are
very seldom hitched side by side, as
you know, almost always in tandem.
The shafts of the heavier carts are
as large as the thigh of ones leg.
Being two-wheeled, a good share of
the weight of the load rests on the
horse, either bending down his back
horribly or nearly raising him off his
feet, depending on where and how the
load is placed. The drivers are most
ly small boys who walk alongside of
the horse and keep up an alternate
action of yelling and jerking on the
bride. If | were the horse I'd go
crazy.
The streets are all narrow and are
paved with big, rough cobblestones
covered with a generous smear of
black, Shiny mud. Sewers seem very
scarce, for the people dump all their
waste water into the street. This,
plus an almost continual drizzly rain
makes things delightfully."- oozy. The
natives, with the exception of the we'll
to-do classes, are dirty, ragged and
half starved. All wear wooden shoes.
The rattle of the trucks and carts, the
thump of the horses hoofs and the
clatter of the wooden shoes over the
cobbles make weird mixture of
sounds.
The houses are all of stone or brick
and stucco and are very closely pack ,
ed together. The roofs are tall and
steep; the chimneys tall and narrow;
he windows narrow, tall and gloomy. 6
The whole building looks ancient and r
hungry. Z
Down at the wharf are boats of 7
III nations loading and unloading all

rowds working there are dull German
prisoners guarded by French poilus in
