j [Continued From First Page]
I were issued since 4 o'clock yesterday
i afternoon. Deaths in all these cases
I resulted front influenza. Of the 22
reported yesterday, 14 were caused
by influenza and eight by pneumo
nia.
For the third Saturday night
since the influenza epidemic became
a serious menace in the city all
stores and business places in Harris
burg except drug stores and restau
rants will close ,at 6.30 o'clock.
Health Officer Raunick also has or
dered churches and Sunday schools
to remain closed to-morrow.
Health officials report the situa
tion as slowly Improving in Harrls
burg. No estimate was made of the
number of new cases reported yes
terday, but the authorities believe
the total is gradually descreasing.
Twenty-two deaths were reported
for Friday and twenty-three for
Thursday: t
Members of City Council yester
day at an informal conference urged
Mayor Keister • and Commissioner
Hassler to request a written report
from Health Officer Raunick, to be
submitted at the regular meeting on
Tuesday. Mayor Keister sent a let
ter to Dr. Hassler last night in which
lie ealled attention to the request of
the other commissioners, and said
that it was important to have an of
ficial written report on the eiuation
in the city.
The city officials said merchants in
the city are. asking for an official
statement of the situation. The com
missioners in the report
explained thatNthey intended to co
operate with the health bureau, but
were anxious to know how long it
may be necessary to continue the
Iran which has been such a serious
blow to business.
The work at the city Emergency
Hospital, . Fifth and Seneca streets,
established in the open air school
building was praised by Jhe officials,
all of whom said they had no crit
icism to make of the efforts to check
the epidemic, and the action taken
by the health officials.
Ran Removed From
All Activities Wednesday
The ban against meetings, public
amusement places and saloons be
cause of influenza can be lifted in
Philadelphia next Wednesday accord
ing to a telegram sent to-day to Dr.
Wilmer Krusen, Philadelphia direc
tor of health. By B. F. Itover,
state acting health commissioner.
Nothing has been decided about the
rest of the state, but action relative
to southeastern counties will be taken
before long, it is believed.
After a study of reports received
during the morning from Philadel
phia, Dr. Royer, who had last night
declared resumption of religious ser
vices to-morrow and school sessions
on Monday to be "inadvisable and
premature" and suggested Wednesday
for the opening of schools, sent this
telegram to Dr. Krusen i
"After careful consideration of the
decline of the epidemic in Philadel
phia and the gradual and consistent
decline of deaths, and noting the ac
tion taken by your local board with
reference to public schools and Sun
day schools, I do not believe it will
be wise to discontinue the sale of
alcoholic beverages or public enter
tainments, moving pictures, and the
aters beyond Wednesday of next
week. 1 still feel it has not been
the part of wisdom to open the
schools before Wednesday and that
the Sunday schools and churches
should have been opened a week later
than you have planned. Your De
partment therefore, unless you see
lit to extend the ban longer, may plan
for permitting the resumption <>t all
tilings prohibited in orders from this
office of October 3d, 6th, and 9th, with
'the exception of private funerals.
[These' should be continued private
for at least a week longer."
Replying to a telegram sent to Gov
ernor Brumbaugh this morning by
Senator 16. H. Vare urging that the
Governor use his influence to permit
the saloons and theaters in Philadel
phia to open on Monday, Dr. B. F.
Royer, Acting Commissioner of
Health, sent the following telegram
to Senator Vare to-day: "Your tele
gram to the Governor has been re
ferred to this office. In reply 1 beg to
advise that the Department of Public
Health and Charities of Philadelphia
will be advised as to the time of lift
ing ban on moving picture houses
and theaters as well as to time of
permitting resumption of sale of al
coholic beverages. Philadelphia at
this time is not as nearly recovered
from the epidemic as newspaper re- i
ports would indicate. The average
daily number of deaths in Philadel
phia from all diseases during October
of last year was 68 and for Influenza
and pneumonia combined seven per
day, while yesterday there were 294
deaths frem Influenza and pneumonia.
From privately conducted investiga
tions the reports of new cases are
grossly in error and wholly Incom
plete.. Hence reports of cases are
not as dependable as reports of
deaths. The-churches and schools are
permitted to open by resolution of
the local board on Saturday, Sunday
and Monday. School children in
many instances have been completely
protected from danger by their par
ents and they should not be too hast
ily brought together. Director Kru
sen will be advised to-day as to time
when their department will lift the
ban on public entertainments and sale
of alcoholic beverages.
B. FRANKLIN ROYER."
Shortage of Doctors and
Nurses Feft in State
The State Department of Health
to-day Issued this bulletin on the
progress of the influensa epidemic,
"At noon to-day reports reoeived
at the office of the State Department
of Health indicated that the ppi
demie of influensa was rapidly grow
ling worse in parte of Somerset poun

tions of Elk county and la growing
l worse in the northern anthracite
j fields, particularly In Luzerne and
| Lackawanna counties.
| "Reports from supervisors of va
rious afflicted districts from Red
Cross Chapters throughout the state
and from the various State Councils
of National Defense show that the
care of influenza sufferers and the
checking of the spread of the epi
demic is rapidly getting on a thor
oughly organized basis due to the
splendid co-operation of these vari
ous organizations.
"There is still a great shortage of
doctors and nurses. A few additional
offices of the public health service
are being returned from Massachu
setts and are being assigned to va
rious afflicted districts as rapidly as
they arrive. A nam be of senior mea
j ical students from Philadelphia are
also being assigned throughout the
state. Camp Crane, at Allentown,
i has sent twelve army medical corps
| officers to Luzerne county. In the
northwestern section, of the stale
twenty-four members of the new re
! serve militia have volunteered to
, serve as orderlies in the Emergency
| Hospital."

enza occurred at the Harrisburg Hos
pital during the twenty-four hours
preceding noon to-day. Seven new

ditions in the Pittsburgh mill dis
trict are rapidly assuming a' more
serious aspect and the majority of
the new cases reported to-day come j
from this section. The epidemic is
Increasing steadily in Armstrong j
county where a total of 2,042 were (
reported during the last twenty-four
hours. It is estimated that there
are 2,000 new cases in Allegheny and

burgh. Berks reports 524 new j
cases with 126 in tlie city of Reading.
Blair county reports 340 new cases I

Government Calls For
1,000,000 Pounds of
Nut Shells Every Day
Washington. Oct. 26. The gov
ernment needs 1,000,006 pounds of
nutshells and fruit stones daily for
manufacturing gasmask charcoal, and
at present is unable to purchase one
i third that amount. This and the
| failure of the public to co-operate
i fully by saving, and sending in this
1 fortit of waste from the kitchen have
; made it necessary for the Chemical
; Warfare Headquarters here to renew
I its appeal.
; Because of the lack of sufficient
material, wood charcoal is now being
mixed with shell charcoal for masks.
The wood charcoal Is not hard, add
will settle, making it difficult for
the wearer of a mask containing it
to breathe, and It has not the ab
sorptive qualities of the shell product.
The government is making ar
rangements t.o secure the necessary
shell In the Far East, bilt It will be
months before the plan can be put
into operation. The shell of all the
cocoanuts grown in the West Indes
and Central America, It is stated, if
it could be obtained, would not supply
more than one-third the necessity.
J. William Bowman, who is in
charge of the collection of peach
stones, nut shells, and fihiit seeds in
the Harrlsburg district, said that he
Is very much encouraged with the re
sponse that has been made locally to
the nation's appeal for carbon for gas
masks.
"But the work is only just begin
ning," he said, "and in spite of the
fact that the canning season now is
practically over, many housewives
would be able to contribute large
amounts of the seeds and shells to the
government if they would but remem
ber to conserve that part of their
kitchen refuse."
Many more tons of seeds than are
now at hand will be needed, and Mr.
Bowman is anxious that. Harrisburg
and vicinity will do its part in col
lecting the seeds which will furnish
carbon for the life-saving gas masks.

By Associated Press
Amsterdam, Oct. 28,—"* As for Al

that, as these territories were ex
pressly mentioned among President.
Wilson'* fourteen points, we agree to
regulation of these questions," said
Dr. W. S. Solf, German Foreign Sec
retary, in addressing the Reichstag

dent Wilson's progam as the basis

the sense of complete justice and
fairness fulfill the program in all
directions and at all points."
