Under tho Art at March 3. Mill, PRICE TWO CENTS ORDER CLOSES SCHOOLS, THEATRES AND MEETING PLACES IN GRIP FIGHT Director Krusen Takes Radical Step to Com bat Disease CHURCHES INCLUDED IN SWEEPING RULE Action Follows Conference of Health Official and Medical Men SITUATION IS SERIOUS Spread of Malady Hits Ship- yards--Soup Kitchens Arc Opened Downtown All theatre-, schools, churches, mo Uon picture houses, danco halls nnd other places of public gathering In Philadelphia must close Immediately In the hope of checking tho spread of Spanish Influenza. There were C6G IN new cases reported today. This order was Issued this after noon by Director Krusen. of the De partment of Health, following a con ference with the. city medical author ities and representatives of Institu tions, rgany of which arc crowded beyond capacity with sufferers. Realizing that tho epidemic Is spreading to a most alarming degree, this action was decided upor, for tho general welfare of the cltj's popula tion. It Is believed by phslclms that the prevention of .public gntlunlngs will reduce tho spread of the disease to a minimum. No Exceptions .Made No exceptions were made In tho gen eral older issued. As all public gath erings are- forbidden, it Is possible that the action of the health authorities prevents further Indoor Liberty Loin meetings until tho epidemic Is under control. DIrertors of the campaign cancelled all Indoor meetings at once. Placards' were qulcklv posted In front of mat.y theatres informing the public of the action of tho Hoard of Health. On being notified of the closing order this afternoon, manageis of all theatres and mov Uig-plcturn homes s.ild they woiild co-operate In cVery way with the city authorities In fighting the epidemic. The managers met this afternoon and discussed plans for dealing with patrons and arrangements with companies now playing their houses. The order will throw several hundred actors temporarily out of employment. It will also seriously affect the Liberty Loan campaign as a ery large number of subscriptions were raised In thu theatres ' Although 660 new casas weie repoited to the Board of Health today, the health t authorities believe there are many more than hat In Philadelphia. Kvery pollco station downtown was mads an emergency medical office this afternoon through an older Issued by Superintendent Mills. A nurso and a physician are on duty at each station house. They go Immediately to an homes where new cases are discovered and administer relief. Lieutenants of police hae also been ordered to permit the use of patrol- wagons for taking patients to hospitals, I'enn Charter Closed When pupils at the Term Charter School, South Twelfth street, near Alar ket, gathered today In the assembly hall Richard M. Gummery, head master, an nounced that as a precautionary meas ure against the further spread of Span ish Influenza the school would be closed for one week. 'There are twelve cases among the pupils." said Mr. Oummery. "We have 465 boys, and if, at the end of a week it is deemed-fcaat to continue the closed period notice will be given to the pupils through the newspapers" .Camden health officials today estl mated that there were 10,000 cases of the disease there. Four deaths lue been reported. Among the dead Is Frederick Mo bieus, who, although only twenty-two years old, had been managing a large hotel opposite the courthouse. He had been in charge of the hotel slnco his brother, who Is In France, entered the army. He lived at 550 Federal street. Scarcity of drugs Is proving a great handicap In fighting the disease In Cam den, and an appeal has been made to wholesale houses for supplies. Iong queues of people wanting prescriptions filled and drugssare forming at drug stores like lines at theatre box offices. ColllngswooaVMerchantvllte, and West, mont, Is", J., have followed I amden's lead In closing schools, churches, and motion picture theaties In an effort to Check the epidemic. Judge Brown, of the Municipal Court, announced this afternoon that he would close the misdemeanants' branch and the domestla relations branch of the court for a weekl as a precaution against the spread of Influenza. Playgrounds May Continue It Is believed the closing order will, not affect school playgrounds or foot ball games. William A. Htecher, direc tor of physical education of public schools, said that during the Infantile paralysis plague two years ago the play grounds were permitted to remain open and he believed that the same plan will be followed in the present case. 'With nearly 200 deaths and (00 new cases reported for the laBt twenty-four hours and thousands of other cases not reported because physicians are working twenty-four hours a day attending pai tlents and haven't 'time to report the disease, the situation grows steadily more serious. The clty's water supply waa threat ened today by the epidemic Chief Davis, of the Water Bureau, an nounced today that 100 of his men are ill arid that if the disease continues to spread It will be necessary to call for Volunteers to man the bureau.

I'olumn Twt WILSON PREVENTS UNITY OF POOLING President Fails to See Need of Interallied Economic Executive Control TIME NOT YET RIPE By CLINTON W. GILBERT Staff Corrmvondtnt fcienlno Public Ltiotr C'opirfonf, la8, by Public Lrducr Co. Washington, Oct. 3. Tho story pilnted in mnny morning papers today that the Allies and this country had ngiecd at last upon uni fied command ot their economic re sources for the conduct of the war ts untrue. There is no big central pool. Theio is no Interallied economic ex ecutive, nor is one In sight. Repot t that one has 'been formed springs from the fact that sep.uato pools of Individual commodities have Increased In numbers since the repre- fcentatlvcs of the various American war boards went to Europe. Many ot these icprcsentatlves aie still in Eu tope and the process of pooling indi vidual resources Is still glong on, nut until the heads of the war oiganlia tlons here, men like Mr.McAdoo, Mr. Uarucli, Mr. McCormlck lind Mr. Bar ley, go abroad at once, accompanied probably by Colonel House, no such im portant step as a central Interallied executlvo commanding the united war resources of tho Allies will bo formed. Trying to flesse H llnn Prnerames are still being discussed. The Allies have steadily limited their suggestion Blnce they first made It last spring. In the hope of getting it Into such shape as to meet President Wll son'H approval. But as jet they have failed to convlnceihlm of the wisdom of this country's entering Into any general combination. In his recent speech he said there could be no league of nations before peace was signed. An Interallied economic executive would be In a limited wav a leacue of nations, for one of the biggest tasks the league of nations has to do Is to control the International bup nly of raw materials, at least during the neriod of reconstruction. This war waa fought for the control of raw materials; call It a "place Ip the sun," or Germany's Imperial ambi tions, or what you will. It was the world supply of raw materials that was at the bottom of the trouble. Peace, ac cording to Mr. Wilson's way of think ing, can only be based firmly upon some Just distribution of raw materials. Haw materials will be trumps at the peace conference. The diplomatic policy of tho President Is to preserve his hand of trumps Intact for the day when the nations gather together at the green table at which peaae will be made, llenle his unwillingness to make any combinations, call them the Versailles Conference, an Interallied executive or what,you will. He means to be free to use the full power of this country when CaUaM4 cm-fa Tw.
