MUMMY iolumunt anu tHNiN
t'ur'ons were shocked with the
announcement that the dreaded
ilu had made IL appearance at
the camp among the soldiers and
also IN Columbus.
Tuesday Il was apparent 10 Col
cutl Hanson and his staff that the
nalsdy had a foolhold. as dozcn
patients were transferred TO tbs
camp hospital aud as the day wore
on Il was plain 10 the medical men
and Colonel Rivers that a quaran-
line be established.
10 a drastic plan Of action was
determined upon 10 prevent a
spread Of the disease and a repe-
lition OF the disastrous epidemic
u last winter when hundreds Of
soldiers were afflicted aud many
lives we're lost.
Colonel Hanson took up the
matter Of quarantining Columbus
against lhc soldiers with Mayor J.
A. Blair, with the result that q
stringent quarantine was ordered
and the Courier i,b department
was enlisted 10 get out the follow
ing placards:
PROCLAMATION.
On account Of the present
epidemic OF ilu and quarantine
orders published by the camp
commander. Camp furlong. all
restaurants, ice cream parlors,
soft drink stands and other
places OF similar nature are
forbidden 10 serve soldiers
with any catables or drinks ON
their premises. soldiers are
not 10 be admitted 10 any
moving picture house. private
club, pool hall or other place
where people congregate.
Any violation. Of this order
will result In a strict quaran-
tine by Camp Furlong against
the Village Of Columbus.
(sisnedl J. n. BLAIR,
Mayor.
Columbus, n. NJ, Jan. "a, 1920.
Later IN the evening, upon con-
sullation with Colonel Rivers. u
was decided that such stringent
orders 10 the merchants was un-
necessary and Colonel hivers said
the commanding officers, through
their provost guards could handle
the quarantine effectively.
As a result the soldiers have
been kept in The camp with the
exception Of ordcrlies and soldiers
whose business necessilaled their
lpresence IN Columbus.
The merchants were as one unit

In the early trading there was much
professional selling because OF tho
strike OF the railroad men. Many

whole world on strike. The really

upon the strike as a bullish argu-
