To the Editor:
The letter which was published in
your paper yesterday is the reasah for
my writing this short account Of the
| epidemic at Hooper's Island, in or
der that the people may know the
real facts of the case, as have been
intimately associated with it now
just one week.
l have only seen the most severe
cases, the pneumonia cases, in con-
sultation with DR.. Meade. These
have numbered twenty. DR.. Meade
informs me that there are many
more cases of a milder type lover
both islands. I should judge from
his statement that there are at least
fifty cases of pneumonia there at the
present time, and from two hundred
and fifty to three hundred cases of
influenza in it's various forms.
We have succeeded, l think in
getting control of this epidemic by
the use of pneumonia sera to cure
those cases which are already infec-
ted, and secondly, by using the i'm
munity sera to vaccinate those peo-
pie who have not already contracted
the disease. The people of this coun-
ty are under a debt OF gratitude to
Mr.. Milton Campbell, President of
the H. X. Milford Company, who has
so generously furnished US with sur
ficient vaccines and sera to meet this
emergency. l know that elsewhere it
has been difficult for physicians to
obtain what they needed.
l would not conclude this short
account without paying a tribute to
DR.. Meade, whose faithfulness in the
care of his people and open-minded-
ness in accepting at once the sugges-
ton as to how we were to overcome
this epidemic, were very unusual.
1 would also pay tribute to the
ladies of Cambridge, who have done
splendid work in visiting the sick
and carrying much needed supplies,
particularly fruit and milk, and to
the physicians of Cambridge, who
have so readily offered their services
in this emergency.
would add in conclusion that
have been impressed by the people
of Hooper's Island in their desire to
aid each other, and by their willing
ness to follow all directions given
them in the treatment of this cpl
demic. which is by far the most Sc
we're that has ever visited our
county.

ThurmOnt Defeats EmmitSburg.

The opening event of the Homecoming
celebration held here last Saturday was
a game of ball on the High School field,
the Soldier boys of Emmitsburg playing
the Soldier boys of Thurmont.
The fight for victory began near IL
O'Clock, Sergt. H. C. Miller being on the
mound and Staley behind the plate to do
the receiving for the visiting team. The
battery for the home team was Geo.
Root and his catcher from Hagerstown.
In the first inning neither side made a
score, but in the second the home team
made one run. The third session opened
up and proved disastrous for the visitors
five tallies being chalked up to the home
team and Sergt. Miller being disabled
by ball thrown from back of the foul
line while he was not looking that way
The heavy score against the visitors took
much of the pep out of the game. Due to
the late start and the score but seven
innings were played so that the boys
could get their dinner and prepare for
the afternoon events,

FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week of October 9th, Margaret Anglin
in her newest play,
"THE FIRE OF LIFE"
a strong emotional drama by Henry Kis-
termaeckers and Eugene Delard.
Margaret Anglin has abandoned light
comedy for emotional drama and will
present her newest play at this theatre.
The play is the work of Henry Kister-
uaeckers and Eugene Delard, both of
whom are French authors of reputation.
They have provided Miss Anglin with
drama of intensity, reality and meaning.
one which is suitable to her capabilities
AS an emotional actress. 'The Fire of
Faith" is quite different from the vehicle
Miss Angln used in her starring tour last
season. In "Billeted" her talents as
coincidence were hailed everywhere with
acclaim. In her newest piece her role
calls for strong emotional undertaking
and gives her chance of again demon
strating her ability in this milieu.
In 1.-The Fire of Life' the action is
tense and the dialogue brilliant, and all
the while the theme is humanity appealing:
The scenes of the play are laid in the
studio of an artist and the story is con-
cerned with the love of a woman who
faces complications whose development
forms the story,

From the time the movement was broach-
ed until it was finally launched Major
Castle bent every energy to make it a
success sparing neither time nor labor
and the splendid outcome and the univers-
ally favorable comment is a tribute to his
leadership and interest.
1t would be entirely out of order if
special mention was not made of the elab-
crate and tasty decorations of the Town
Hall, the Community Club Room (Red
Cross Headquarters), and the lawn of
Mr.. and Mrs. D. r. Rouzer. There
never was prettier decorations in the
town and certain it is, no more tasty dec
orations have we seen anywhere than
those at the Town Hall.
To our indefatigable worker and fell
low-townsman, Mr.. Dan'l R. Rouzer, is
due the credit of these elaborate decora-
tions. He spared neither time nor money
to make them second to none. Mr.. Rouz-
err had able and willing assistants who
worked faithfully with him.
The ladies' of the Red Cross Chapter,
with the assistance of Mr.. Rouzer, did
the major part of the decorating of their
headquarters, which was most beautiful.
1t is most gratifying to have such inter-
ested and willing workers on such &C.
casions, as it adds much to the success of
the undertaking,
The decorations about town were also
:c..l al
the stringing of hundred or more cleo
trio lights about the public square added
wonderfully to the decorative effect at
night.
The banquet for "Our Boys" in con-
ncction with the Homecoming Celebra-
ton was held in the Town Hall Saturday
evening at o'clock. Promptly at the
time the boys, along with the veterans
of 81 and the ministers of the town, ar
rived at the Hall and were received by
the Reception Committee. Then followed
half hour of sociability. At $50 the
Chow CALI was sounded and with
yell the boys formed in line for the table
where they did ample justice to the fol-
lowing menu:
Spring Chicken
Dreamed Peas Mashed Potatoes
Candied Sweet Potatoes
Cold Slaw
Ice Cream Cake MINIS
Coffee Cigars Cigarets
The dinner was served by the following
young ladies': Katharine Firor, Elizabeth
Seton, Agnes Joy, Bessie Webster, Mar
garet Dorsey, Margaret Brown. Kathar-
inc Flory, Helen Root. Coletta O'roole,
Blanche Eyler, Cassandra Hesson.
The "Favors." small American flags,
decr rated each block of ice cream.
Short but interesting addresses were
made by Lieut.. Lester Smith of Co. A.,
Frederick and Rev. w. C. Waltemyer
who was also Toast Master for the &C.
caslon but before he was able to carry
out his program through some misunder-
standing the boys started to leave the
table and when called back to hear the
toast one was heard to remark I'VE are
too full now we cannot eat any toast. 4"
During the banquet music was furnished
by the Thurmont Orchestra which was
one of the most enjoyable features of
the evening. After the banquet the
doors of the Hall. were thrown open to
the public.
Then followed an interesting program
of music by the Orchestra, Community
singing and addresses by the local pa stors.
The evening ending with an impromptu
dance by the young people.

tiles. The right of requisitioning was
terminated and the military authorities
also lost jurisdiction over certain
crimes and misdemeanors, no longer
having the right to search private prop
erty.
Further comment on the resumption
of diplomatic relations between France
and Germany was provoked by the pub
lication of the presidential decree this
morning. Paul Dutasta, who acted as
secretary of the peace conference. is
still one of the most prominent men
mentioned as the probable ambassador
to Berlin. The well.informed Echo de
Paris says it had confirmation of the
report that he has been selected for
the post and that it is expected the Ger
man government will be asked at once
to approve his nomination.
