Here is the opening of a story about the epidemic that killed Vincent from the Baltimore American, October 17, 1918:

EASTERN SECTION OF CITY HARDER HIT BY FLU THAN ALL OTHERS
Unsanitary Conditions Are Declared To Be Responsible
-----------------------------------
DEATH RATE HIGHER
-----------------------------------
But Number of New Cases Is Somewhat Less
-----------------------------------
A COMPARISON OF CITIES
-----------------------------------
Table Showing That Baltimore Has Suffered Less In Proportion Than
Other Large Municipalities -- Additional Instructions Issued by the
Health Commissioner -- Closings Order Will Not Be Modified --
Reports Indicate an Improvement in the Counties.
-----------------------------------
MORE DEATHS; FEWER CASES

There was an increase in the number of deaths resulting from influenza and pneumonia, but fewer new cases. One hundred and ninety-three succumbed to this disease alone, while 53 others were victims of pneumonia alone. There were 894 new cases.
Reports received by the Health Department show that while conditions are improving in the Western and Northern sections, there is no improvement in East Baltimore, where sanitary conditions are not up to the standard.
Dr. Blake advises against attendance at funerals and recommends that services be held in the open at the grave. He has also called in the Marshal of Police for plain-clothes men to watch for violators of the antispitting law.
The city bacteriologist is using serum sent him by the government, and which prevents pneumonia, on doctors and nurses in hospitals.
Conditions have improved in the cantonments, Camp Holabird having lifted the quarantine at that place.

Here are excerpts from a story from the Oct 18th edition of the Baltimore American:

COUNTY UNDERTAKERS NOW PERMITTED TO DO BUSINESS IN THE CITY

Health Commissioner Suspends State Law Provision
-------------------------------------
SHORTAGE OF COFFINS
-------------------------------------
Government Has Commandeered Many Caskets
-------------------------------------
SITUATION IS UNCHANGED
-------------------------------------
117 Deaths and 954 New Cases of Influenza Reported -- Proprietors
of Apartment-houses Ordered to Furnish Tenants With Heat Regardless
of Any Contracts They Have Made -- Four Physicians Sent by the
Public Health Service -- The Red Cross Appeals for Volunteer Nurses.
-------------------------------------
EPIDEMIC STILL RAGING

There was a slight increase in the number of flu cases in the city, but fewer deaths. 117 succumbed in the past 24 hours, and during the 48 hours ending yesterday afternoon there were 954 new cases. 728 new cases developed in the counties.
Health Comissioner Blake has let down the bars to county undertakes. For the time being the law prohibiting these from doing business in the city has been abrogated and permission given to operate in Baltimore city.
Apartment-house proprietors are directed to furnish heat to tenants regardless of any contracts they may have made. Failure to comply with this order, issued yesterday by the Health Comissioner, will subject the owners to heavy fine.
Four additional physicians assigned here by the government have been distributed by the State Board to various sections. A call has also been sent out for Red Cross nurses, who are wanted in Wicomico county.
The Baltimore Chapter of the Red Cross has sent out an appeal to women to volunteer as nurses. Twenty-five responded at once, but many more are needed to assist trained nurses.

Below is the text of an advertisement from The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company found on the first page of the Baltimore American on October 15th:

DON'T TELEPHONE

The increasing overload of calls and shortage of operators compels us to urge a still greater reduction of calls. While the epidemic lasts it is vitally important that telephones be used only for the most urgent reasons. Avoid making long distance as well as local calls. Don't ask for reports on delayed calls. Our remaining operators, depite their increased tasks, are loyally giving their best endeavors.

THE CHESAPEAKE AND POTOMAC TELEPHONE COMPANY

For the period of the emergency, we urge every former employee with central office experience to REPORT FOR DUTY, if only for a few hours daily.
