Suva, Oct. 1.

Demobilisation of some members of the Fiji Military Forces has been delayed by the outbreak of a mild epidemic of influenza in one of the mili tary camps in Suva.

The illness is not serious, and the num ber of cases is not large, but the authori ties have decided that it is wise to take early action. The camp has been quaran tined, and the men who live there, whose homes are all outside Viti Levu, are being held until such time as the danger of spreading the infection is past.
