Flandners were identified at the thirty
seventh (Ohio) under Major General
C. S. Farnswdrth, and the ninety-first
(Facific coast, Alaska, Wyoming, Mon
tana, Nevada and Utah) under Major
General W. H. Johnson. The ninety
first was, on last reports, on the
heights of Ardenarde on the Scheldt
river.
General March characterized the
publication of the erroneous announce
ment of the armistice as "very bad
for the military program of the United
States." for instance, he said, in New
York the stevedores who were engaged
in loading very essential supplies for
the expeditionary forces stopped' work
and did not return at all on that day
or the next day, and army food ship
ments were thus delayed.
In commenting on this incident, the
chief of staff made the statement that
the American army will be in France
for some time even when peace is de
clared. Major Generals Shifted.
The reorganization of the American
expeditionary force into two field ar
mies has resulted in several chinges in
rorpj commanders. These Include the
following :
First corps, Major General Joseph
Pirkman: second corps. Major General
George W. Keed; third corps, Major
General L. 1. Mines; fourth corps, Ma
jor General Charles If. Mnir; fifth'
corps, Major General C. P. Summeral:
sixth corps, Maior Genial William M.
Wrifht; seventh corps,'' Major General
Charles H. Melrher.
In renly to questions concerning in
dividual units, the chief of taff an
nounced that the 351st aero squadron
was at an artillery observation tchool
in France; the .14th machine gun bat
talion was attached to the N'inetv-first
division in Flanders; the .VUrd field ar
tillery brigade was at Clermont-sur-Aisne
at last reports; the 364th field
artillery brigade, originally the Eighty
ninth division, has been in action in
Flanders; the Forty-first division (Pa.
cific coast. Montana, Idaho and Wyom
ing) still is acting as a replacement
unit, and the Thirty-eighth division
(Kentucky and West Virginia) has not
been reported since October 2.1, when
it was in action west of the Meuse.

CITY PREPARING
FOR 'OPEN TOWN'
AFTER INFLUENZA
Churches, Theaters and Other
Places Ready to Open,
Just one month from the day all pub
lic meetings in Oklahoma City were
closed indefinitely because of influenza,
the normal thread of business, amuse
ment and religious life in Oklahoma
City will be resumed again.
At midnight tonight decrees by the
city and state health boards lifting the
influenza quarantine in effect here
since October 9 will become effective.
Theaters Repaired.
Theater managers, who have been
hard hit by the closing order, have
practically completed plans for opening
at the usual hour tomorrow afternoon.
All houses in the city have been fumi
gated, washed and cleaned. Manv
have been repainted and partly remncl
eled. Among these is the Lyric.
Churches will resume work interrupt
ed by the influenza order. Kvery min
ister in the city will co-operate with
t lie War Work campaign by mentioning
it in the pulpit tomorrow, and twit a
few will devote parts of their sermons
anil make special prayers for the rit's
deliverance from the epidemic and tor
the speedy coming of peace.
Shool teachers resumed tlnir work of
nuking a complete health survey of the
city today but will not be ahle to com
plete it tod.iv owing to the fart that
much of the city near the river is under
water and cannot be reached. This dis
trict will be canvassed at a later date.
It is rumored around city hall that
the citirens' committee which has in
charge the reorganization of the health
department will retain Mike Donnelly
in charge of the health department
after the reorganization and that Mark
H. Kesler, commissioner of public
safety, will be let t with only the fire
department to look after.
A few scattered cases of influenza
are expected to spring up all during
the winter, according to local physicians.
1'ive new cases were reported to the
health department yesterday. The
health survey being conducted by the
teachers, however, shows that there are
hut very few cases of influenza now ex
isting in the city.
