ANTI-INFLUENZA
CAMPAIGN NOW
WELL UNDERWAY
Public Health Service Takes
Measures to Combat Mal
ady Which Continues
to Spread.
Washington, Oct. 10. In its fight
to stop the spread of Spanish influ
enza the public health service is in
vestigating the causes of the disease,
the conditions which promote its
spread and the part played by car
riers in epidemics of the malady. It
also is seeking an effective vac
cine, but announcement was made
tonight that the service has as yet
been unable to recommend any that
it believes will be successful.
Meantime influenza continueslo
spread over the country in spite of
strenuous efforts and drastic meas
ures taken to prevent it. The mal
ady now has reached epidemic pro
pinions in many additional cities,
, including Portland, Ore. It also has
appeared in several counties in
Oklahoma and Nevada, while from
5ixi to 0(10 municipalities in Illinois
rrpart the disease.
Conditions at army camps today
showed a slight improvement for the
second time since the malady be
came epidemic in the training
places. During the 24 hours ending
at noon 12.321 new case were re
ported to the office of the surgeon
general of the army with 2,797 new
cases of pneumonia and 889 deaths.
The total of influenza cases reported
at the army camps since the dis
ease first appeared has now reached
211,000, pneumonia cases 25,083 and
deaths 7,432.
The campaign of the public health
service is now well under way. Near
ly J80 physicians are in the field
and headquarters have been organ
ized in more than 30 cities. The
volunteer medical corps of the coun
cil of national defense and the
American Red Cross are actively co
operating with the health service
in its campaign in New England,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Dela- j
ware, North Carolina, bouth Car
olina, Tennessee, Florida, Missis
sippi, Arizona and Montana. In
other states local headquarters have
been established in many cities.
Rid Terorism Continues
Rampant in Petrograd
. Stockholm, Oct. 10. In spite of

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Bearish European Developments Bring
About Fresh Smashes In Value.
Chicago, Oct. 10. Frash Indications of
an unconditional surrender by Turkey to
gether with many ether bearish European
developments brought about new smashes
today In the value of grain. Rallies were
numerous, but for the most part failed
to hold. Corn closed unsettled 3ftc net
lower to ftc advance, with November
$1.12 to $112, and December, $1.10
to $l.llft. Oats finished lftc down to
ftc up and provisions oft 30c to $1.
Corn started with a severe break due
chiefly to the forward sweep of the en
tente armies beyond ths Hindenburg line.
Rumors that the German emperor had
abdicated gave further emphasis to bear,
tsh, sentiment, and io, too, did talk of a
split between Austria and Hungary. Un
certainty as to-the nature and time of the
German reply to President Wilson's note,
however, tended to Induce efforts by
shorts to collect profits. Rapid fluctua
tions that followed gave ample evidence
of extreme nervousness on the part of a
majority of traders, but In the end the
advantage remained with the bears ow
ing principally to the focussing of atten
tion on the llkllhood of Turkish collapse.
Oats swayed with corn, although
steadied somewhat by Improved domestic
shipping demand,
Provisions wars pulled down the ex
treme limit by weakness of grain and
hogs.

Gains in Peace Shares Out
stripped by Irregular Loss
in War Issues; Trading
Increases in Volume.
New York, Oct. 10. Peace snd war
shares again pursued widely divergent
courses in today's stock market, gains in
the first named division far outstripping
Irregular losses elsewhere.
Trading assumed wider and larger pro
portions, although the greater part of the
day's transactions concentrated In equip
ments, shippings, oils, utilities and allied
Issues.
Next to United States Steel, which re
sisted pressure better than other shares
of the same class, closing at a gain of
1 '4 points, the stocks most in demand
were Marine preferred at a 5-point ad
vance, Texas Company, which rose 6ft
points, and Mexican Petroleum, in which
ths extreme gain was slightly In excess
of 10 points.
Striking features In the utility group In
cluded People's Oas, American Telephone
and Western Union, the "wire" companies
deriving further strength from their guar
anteed status under federal control.
Ralls were an uncertain quantity most
of the day by reason of Canadian Pacific's
Irregularity, but Union Pacific and Read
ing strengthened on the better demand of
the last hour, Atchison common and pre
ferred also contributing.
Pools resumed bullish operations In the
motors and tobaccos at moderate ad
vances, for the most part and such inac
tive specialties as United States Realty,
Sears-Roebuck, National Biscuit and Gen
eral Electric registered extreme gains of
2 to 6 points.
Exchange on Pari! yielded slightly,
rates to Holland also reacting. The bank
of England showed another large acces
sion to Its gold holdings and a strength

'FLU' LIKELY TO
LAY FOOT BALL
SCHEDULE OUT
Games of Central and South
High Cancelled Because of
Epidemic; Play Mutes
Today.
Spanish "flu" has knocked local
high school grid cr mes "fluie" and
may cause Central High, South

alter their schedules.
Central High and Council Bluffs

afternoon and fans were looking
forward to the contest in anticipa
tion of a stiff fight.
Thursday morning Central offi
cials were surprised to read in The
Bee that the game had been called
off, and, upon inquiry in the Bluffs,
found that the Council Bluffs Board
of Education would not allow the
Iowa lads to participate.
Council Bluffs is the only team
which both Central and South High
were scheduled to meet and might
have been used as a pretext for a
post-season game if Central Had
vanquished the team from across the
river and the losers had defeated
South High after the latter two
teams met Thanksgiving.
South High was forced to lose
one of its home games when the su
perintendent of the Logan, la.,
school notified the Packer school
that he would not allow the team
to come to Omaha for the contest.
South High has offered to meet
Logan on another date, but South's
only open date is November 8 on
which day Logan has a game sched
uled. South High will play York at
York next week and Central will
play Norfolk at .Norfolk.
The Commerce High team will
brave "flu" terrors and play the
eleven from the Institute for the
Deaf this afternoon at Fontenelle
park.
