RAPID INCREASE
TYPHUS CASES IN NAPLES LONDON, Jan. 5. The rapid increase in typhus cases in Naples last week resulted in new warnings and instructions to the population from high Allied military authorities, says the Naples correspondent of the Associated Press. An Allied statement says a real epidemic may begin. It is known that at least 100 new cases have been found since the figure of 250 was announced 10 days ago. There is not a single case among Fifth Army personnel, but the military dispensaries are crammed with tropps receiving inoculations. Naples is still closed against all troops except those billeted there.
