tracing influenza.

ing the total for this month 1T,
compared to SO for the same period
last year.

were 80 pneumonia deaths so far

first two weeks of January of last
year.
The health officer conferred yes
terday with special advisory COM
mittee on the influenza and pneu-
monia situation. Members of the

ability of serums.

The truth was that the mocha

French. The pilot was not placed
under arrest probably for this rea-
son: His outfit was very much like
the dress of German aviator.

This may have been the same action reported by the German command which said 10000 Red Army troops were taken prisoner west of Lake Peppus in Estonia, on the north ern front below Leningrad, along with many tanks, cannon and sup plies.
 The Russians countered with a report that a Soviet tank col umn smashed through the Ger man forces near "N' a town on the northwest front, killing at least a thousand Nazi soldiers and littering the battlefield with the wreckage of more than a hun dred shell-torn tanks, armored cars and quantities of field artil- lery.
