ABOUT HEALTH OKDEKS. "Merchant" Endorses The' Suggestion ?f The Trlbun^. Kditor of the Tribune:—•

The Tribune's suggestion for a spe--cial Investigation of health conditions h«« Is a good one. We have generally oonsMered the "flu" epidemic here as light. Fortunately we have had few "crises and few deaths. *Too, it may be titat our precaution has been wise. But, th«re are gome grounds, I believe, for the feeling that the e*treme quarantine applied elsewhere is not necessary here. I would liko to hekr the expressions of some of our health experts on the subject. The quarantine idea is certainly detrimental to general business and the people of the surrounding country ought to know that the city is still open and that shopping and trading goes on as usuaL *..

The river has its source to the westward, where it is joined by the Cojeul river, which figured'in the fighting early in the British offensive south of Arras. The Germans therefore have not a natural moat south of this bend and it was &10ng this front that the British struck a terrific blo*j yesterday morning.

Just ahead of the "BrfttsH are two very important strategic points, Mons and Maubeuge, and it is reported that even now. the British heavy guns are almost within range of these two towns which are the principal German concentration and supply points along the Ardennes forest. .Through them runs a railroa4 yhic}i Js vital to the stability of the German line and if they are taken «r brolight under artillery fire the enemy will be seriously embarrassed. .'

Around Valenciennes, the Germans have been flooding the country by cut ting the banks of the Scheldt canal. It is said that the lowlands east of the canal and northeast of Valenciennes arc great lakes, which will probably hold up the allied advance for some time. The same condition prevails just southwest of the city.

British forces are fighting in the streets of Valenciennes, having entered it from the west. They do not seem to be making much progress against the stubborn defense of the enemy, bow ever.

LONDON1,1 Wednesday, Oct. 23.-^-Liberated British prisoners passing through Sofia on their way to Saloniki speak gratefully of thl work done by the American consul-general at Sofia in their behalf, according to a dispatch to the mail. They said that although the British and French prisoners endured much hardship, the Serbians were regularly beaten by their Bulgarian captors and often shot without excuse.

One British prisoner said, according fo the dispatch. "The poor devils were thrashed, worked to death or slain in a way that no civilized country would allow a dog to be treated."

Sofhe members of the British prisoner party are said to have been pitiably pa'e and thin, but one said "There are men in far worse condition.than we come In."
