; Huns Must Give Up
Fleet, Submarines and
Rhine Forts to Gain Peace
THE Versailles conference has, it
is reported, agreed on the terms
for an armistice and also on the
final peace demands. It is said that
they will be submitted simultaneous
ly to the German government. Lon
don reports that the Allied nations
| will demand the surrender of the
German fleet, including all subma
rines and the occupation of all the
fortified towns on the Rhine.
Internal conditions in Germany
and Austria apqar to be rapidly
growing worse. Rioting In which a
large number of persons were killed
is reported from Budapest. In Ger
many the population is said to be in
a panic. Banks are being stormed by
depositor. It is reported.
| It is reported from Washington
! that Austria's renewal appeal to
I President Wilson will be transmitted
to the Versailles conference, but no
official statement on'the subject has
been made public.
! How Focht Foresaw the
Value of Aeroplanes
The Fulton County Republican
iin an article based upon the records
|of the Congressional session of 1911
! bears witness to the foresight of
j Congressman B. K. Focht, of Lew
lisburg In regard to aerial lighting.
I lit quotes from the Record show
ling that the Lewisburg man with
la view that now seems inspired de
clared that the aeroplane would be
the great factor in the war. He
called attention to thh needs of the
hour, but the Congressmen failed
to give heed and it took the devel-1
opments of the war to show that:
the Congressman was right and that j
llf his advice had been followed 1
.things would htfve been different In j
preparation. Mr. Focht is called
"The pioneer of aeroplane prepar
edness," a title which Is justly his. i
The Republican says: "The first
opportunity offering Itself for Con
gressman Focht to bring his Ideas
before Congress and the country
was on January 17, 1911, when in
the Committee of the Whole House
on the State of the Union the Army
appropriation bill H. R. No. 31237
was up for consideration. On that
oacaslon (pages 1017-18 of the Con
gressional Record), Congressman
Focht displayed what now must be
regarded as marvelous foresight as
well as intense patriotic eagerness
to have our* country prepared for
coming events; In fact, he was the
first Congressman of record to dis
cuss and .advocate Preparedness of
a kind later found to be the most
I potential agency of attack and de
fense —the aeroplane."
QUARANTINE IN CITY
TO BE OFF TUESDAY
[Continued from First Page.]
representative after the session said
that he believed everyone would
agree to eo-operate with the health
bureau no matter what decision was
reached by those authorities.
Dr. C. R. Phillips, county medical
inspector, announced to-day that the
situation has improved greatly in
the lower end of the county witlt the
exception of Swutara, but that it was
considered advisable to continue all
restrictions in th.e Lykens valley dis
trict.
Epidemic Decreases
That the epidemic is slowly de
creasing'was again intimated by Dr.
Raunick, who also said it would be
practically impossible to say wheth
er it would abate sufficiently by next
Tuesday to permit reopening of
schools and business places. The
health 'officer said that should the
situation continue to improve until
next Tuesday it would not be neces
sary to extend the closing order.
Should the number of cuses slightly
increase of reports indicate that all
danger has not parsed the closing
order may be continued until after
November 5, authorities believe.
Fewer Deaths
No estimate was made to-day on
j the number of new cases which have
I developed. Since late yesterday aft
j ernoon six deaths from influenza
have been reported throiiKh the
local Bureau of Vital Statistics. Yes
terday burial certificates were issued
for thirty-seven deaths caused by
influenza and five by pneumonia.
Health officials explained that these
burial certificates were issued in
cases of deaths some of which dated
back to October 21, and that one
undertaker alone who had been un
able to arrange for funerals because
of the shortage of coffins, took out
nineteen of the certificates.
All schools, churches, theaters,
poolrooms, soda fountains, saloons,
wholesale liquor stores and other
places closed in the city and the
lower end of the county because of
the influenza epidemic may reopen
after noon on Tuesday, November 5.
This announcement was made last
night by Dr. B. Franklin Royer, act
ing state commissioner of health.
The ban also will be lifted at that
time in Pike, Monrop, Adams, Cum
berland, Lancaster and York coun
t les.
Closing orders will remain in ef
i feet indefinitely in Millersburg.
Lykens, Wtlliamstown, Elizabeth
ville and Gratz until the epidemic
shows further improvement, Dr.
•j Royer said. Local restrictions also
I will be continued for a short time
| at Hershey and SWatara.
The lifting of the ban on Tuesday
| at noon will not permit saloons to
resume, however, as it is election
day and a state law prohibits the
sale of liquor then. It is believed
that all other business places and
the schools will open immediately,
! however.
The New Order
j The statement issued by Dr. Roy
"er follows:
| "After making a careful review of
j the mortality*figures from influenza
| all restructions pertaining to the
j closing of schools, churches, theat
j ers, moving pictures, saloons and
! wholesale liquor houses in Pike, Mon
! roe, Adams, Cumberland, Lancaster
j and York counties and in Perry
I county with the exception of the
! borough of Newport, will be remov
j ed on next Tuesday, November 5, at
j 12 noon.
j "In Dauphin county the restrlc-
I tions will be removed in all of the
southern section and in the city of
Harrisburg at 12 o'clock noon, next
Tuesday, November 5. Conditions
are still serious, however, in the bor
oughs of Millersburg, Lykens, Wll
liamstown, Elizabethville and Gratz
and the restrictions wlil be con
tinued in these boroughs until the
epidemic shows further improve
ment. It may be necessary to con
tinue some local restrictions at Her
shey and Swatara."
Members of City Council are to
meet at 4 o'clock this afternoon to
receive a complete statement from
City Health Officer Raunick on the
situation in the city. Dr. ( Raunick
made a short report yesterday and
announced he would consult a num
ber of physicians in the city about
the situation, then submit sugges-,
tions to the commissioners.
Epidemic Still Bad
The following statement on the j
general influenza situation in Penn- j
sylvania was issued at the Capitol: |
"Reports received by the State De- j
partment of Health up to noon to- j
day indicate that the disease is still |
sprending in the mining sections of j
the state. An urgent call for nurses!
and doctors has been received from |
the mining sections of Elk and Tioga j
counties. Along the Monongaheja
valley section, Westmoreland and!
Washington counties the disease is ;
spreading rapidly and very little im- I
provement is noted in Allegheny j
county, although the death rate in |
Pittsburgh is diminishing.
"The epidemic is apparently de-!
creasing in Blair, Lebanon and Berks j
counties and fewer cases arc report- |
ed in the emergency hospitals. Con- i
ditions are ulso improving in North- j
ampton county and in parts of Le- j
high county. Conditions in Lacka-!
wanna and Luzerne counties con- 1
tinue serious.
"Additional nurses were sent to
day to Lackawanna, Westmoreland
and Bedford counties and additional
doctors were sent to Tioga, Elk,
Washington and Westmoreland coun
ties. Beds, blankets and cots have
been dispatched from Harrisburg to
Curtisville and Oakdale."
Nine new cases of Spanish influ
enza were received for treatment at
the Harrisburg Hospital during the
twenty-four hours preceding noon
to-day. Two patients were sent to the
Emergency Hospital and two deaths
occurred. The dead are Lloyd Zleg
ler, 638 Dauphin street, aged 32, at
2.20 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
and Mrs. Robert Cannon, aged 33,
183 3 Swatara street, 8.20 last even
ing. , t ...
Death Rate Higher,
Reports Dr Royer
"A totul of 1,788 deaths from In
| lluenza and pneumonia, have been
reported for the twenty-four-hour
! period up to 1 p. m. yesterday. This
is a greatly increased number of
deaths and would seem to indicate
that the intiuenza epidemic is exact
ing a heavier toll throughout the
state," said a statement issued at the
State Department of tjealth last
night.
"Only a comparatively small num
ber of reports have been received
from counties throughout the state
;up to 6 o'clock last night, but little
or no Improvement is noted in the
epidemic. A total of 4,731 new cases
is reported from 24 counties. Con
ditions in Allegheny county continue
very bad with 1,647 new cases of
which 801 are In Pittsburgh. The
same is true of Lackawanna and
Luzerne counties where the number
of new cases is increasing but no
figures are available. Conditions are
•not Improving in Armstrong county
1 J
—i —— - 1 ■
and one hundred new caßes are re
ported in Leechburg. Berks county
reports 378 new cases. Franklin
county 236 new cases, Erie county
reports 354 new cases with 272 in
the city of Erie. There are 700 new
cases in Mifflin county of which 350
are in the city of Mifflintown. Ven
ango county reports 232 new cases.
The situation in Northwestern Penn
sylvania seems to be growing crit
ical. The epidemic is apparently suit
siding in Clarion county and In Mt.
Union and Huntingdon. Robertsdale
hus many new eases and an emer
gency hospital has been opened in
Mapleton for pneumonia cases only.
"The total number of deaths from
influenza during the last twenty-four
hours is 1,362. The number of deaths
from pneumonia 4 26. A total of 27,-
478 deaths from pneumonia and in
fluenza in the state since October 1."
Following his conference with Dr.
Royer, Mayor Babcock, of Pitts
burgh, made the following statement
regarding his efforts to secure the
lifting of all closing restrictions in
his city:
"I spent two hours with Dr. Roy
er and went over Pittsburgh condi
tions carefully. I found Dr. Royer in
sistent on not releasing or lifting the
ban in Pittsburgh for a few days.
His rea potent reason is that condi
tions in McKeesport, McKees Rocks.
] Homestead and some of the other
! surrounding towns, are such that if
the ban is lifted it would mean that
there would be a great influx ol' peo
ple into the city of Pittsburgh. Dr.
Royer believes this would be very
bad at this time because of the pe
culiar relation between Pittsburgh
and the other centers of population.
While Dr. Royer would not lift the
ban at the present time, he gave me
strong hope that within a few days
he would set the time when we could
open."*
Yanks Set Trap With
Bread and Tobacco;
Capture 51 Germans
With the American Forces North
west of Verdun, Oct 30.—Americans
now count among their prisoners
fifty-one members of the Second Ger
man landwehr, who are the most
sadly disillusioned men from the
German emperor's army. The men
are convinced they were played a
shabby trick in being taken pris
oner, tnough they are quickly be
coming reconciled to their lot by
generous rations of food and tobacco.
The Germans for several days had
been coming unarmed out of their
trenches, creeping forward to a point
midway between the two lines, where
they had been given bread and to
bacco by the Americans. Their
donors, they told an American in
telligence officer, wore crosses on
their shoulders.
The other day when they came
over they were told that on the next
visit each man would receive five
sacks of tobacco instead of one sack.
The glad news was spread. The op
portunity was too good to be lost,
and instead of groups of three, four
and five, as heretofore, fifty-one men
came over for the tqbacco and food.
The Germans were hospitably re
ceived at the customary rendezvous,
split into small groups and invited to
come to another spot where the dls
tributihn would take place. That spot
proved to be the station of the intel
ligence officers of the American di
vision, where JJie Germans were in
formed that they were prisoners.
The Germans indignantly demand
ed to be sent to their lines imme
diately, together with their rations
of five sacks of tobacco and bread.
For a long time they could not be in
duced to say that they had not been
basely betrayed.
They gradually came to renounce
their demand that they be returned,
especially when. they, saw the treat
ment accorded by the American sol
diers to them and to the other pris
oners.
The Germans will receive their ex
tra rations as per promise.

i fell to the floor in frogt of her coun-

i before anyone could prevent It. At

| When brought Into the building he
j pronounced Mrs. ' Hyssong dead.
! The latter turned the body over to

Catarrhal Deafness May
Be Overcome
If you have Catarrhal Deaf- \
ness or are even just a little >
hard of hearing or have head ,
noises go to your druggist and
get 1 ounce of Parmint (double ;
/ strength), and add to it V* pint \
of hot water and a little gran- ;
ulated sugar. Take 1 table- '
spoonful four times a day.
This will often bring quick
relief from the distressing head
noises. Clogged nostrils should
open, breathing become easy
and the mucus stop dropping
into the throat. It is easy to
prepare, costs little and is
pleasant to take. Anyone los
ing hearing or who has Ca
tarrhal Deafness or head noises
should give this prescription a
'! trial. j
