TO THE PUBLIC:

The prevalence of influenza i'll the city at this time is giving much con- cern to the parents, teachers and school board Upon investigation, the school board is advised that the dis ease is mild in type, no pneumonia complications and, since practically every home in the city is or has been recently infected, it appears unwlse to close the schools unless similar action is taken with all public meeting places. In a few days we hope the epidemic will have exhausted itself. Moreover, to further interrupt the school year will almost nullify the value of the whole term. Sick children should be carefully watched and kept in bed or house until thoroughly well, and we'll ones kept in school.

Conference in Paris !!

Paris, Nov. 25-The conference on the preliminaries of peace probably will be held in Paris, instead of at Versailles, owing to the superior ac- commcdations and conveniences i'll the capital
 The only active sittings TOW going on are those of the joint armistice commission which holds daily ses- sions at Spa, the former German headquarters, but which now is held by the French. French, British and German delegates attend the meet ings. General Nudant represents Marshal Foch, with Commandant Sis terOn as his assistant. General vOn Winterfeldt is the German military representative and Matthias Erzber- ger. who also was member of the German armistice delegation, parti- cipates in most of the sessions.
 Some of the meetings are describ- ed as having been very animated ov- CT the efforts of the Germans to ob- tain modification of the terms of the armistice Marshal Fochs reply was a refusa tlo consider a change and a dispatch from Basel gives the text of the MarshaPs reply, which says:
 "No attention can be given to the demands presented in General von Winterfeldt's letter of November Fl. 7
 The joint armistice commission meeting appears to be in acordance with clause 34 of the armistice which admitted the principle of a perman- ent international armistice commits sion under the direction of the allied military and naval chiefs. While its duties are restricted to the execution of the armistice, it is one of the pre- liminaries which will merge later in- to the sessions of the inter-allied conference and the peace conference.

 IN NEW YORK Sailors and Marines Break Up Meeting in Madi-
 son Ssuare.
SOLDIERS CHARGE
 MOUNTED POLICE
Four Men and Two Women Ar rested for Displaying Red
 Flag After Opening.

New York, Nov. 25.-Hundreds of soldiers, sailors and marines broke through cordon of police surround ing Madison Square Garden tonight and attacked international socialists who had attended mass meeting at which Bolshevik doctrines were ex- pounded. The men and women leav- ing the hall broke and fled as the men is uniform charged past the po- lice, but were pursued into the side streets in all directions.
 At 10 o'clock several hundred sol diers and sailors who had gathered in Madison Square charged the mounted police, who had surrounded the build ing and tried to- force an entrance, but were driven back. They then or ganized mass meeting in the Square. In the meantime, two more arrests had been made for the dis turbance.
 There were several hundred soldiers and sailors inside the building pre- pared to resent attacks on the gov ernment and recruits were being gathered in the streets although a strong guard of police had been thown around the building and the doors locked.
 Four men and two women have been arrested for displaying red flags within an hour after the opening of a mass meeting of International social ists at Madison Square tonight Two sailors had been taken into custody for the threatening attitude they as- stunned towards the socialists.
 The attackon on the socialists came at the close of meeting which threa- tened from the moment it began to break into riot. It was called os- tensibly to protest against the execu- tion of Thomas J. Mooney, but Scott Nearing, who presided and thee oth- CT speakers devoted most of their at- tention to pleas for the release of political offenders.
 Several men and women were ar rested for displaying red flags. snug gled in to the garden in defiance of edict of Mayor Hylan. Large num- bers of men in uniform entered the building before the doors were locked with the avowed determination ol preventing attacks upon the govern, ments. They were restrained with difficulty by police and detectives

Paris. Nov. 25.-Restriction of sub marine operations against merchant ships so as to prevent attacks like that against the Lusitania dOubtlessly will be proposed in the discussion by the peace congress of the freedom of the seas" question. It is the view of leading naval authorities who have examined this branch of the subject that submarine operations should be limited to attacking ships forming the regular part of a navy. Attacks would be prohibited against merchant ships., either passenger or freight, and whether armed defensively or other wise. According to this view, sub marines would continue to be an arm of a naval service, but their service would be confined strictly to naval service, but their serfice would be confined strictly to naval warfare.
 This and many other subjects to come before the peace congress are now in a formative state, as it will be some time, perhaps fortnight. be- fore the regular sittings of the inter- allied conference are resumed to ar range the preliminaries of the con- gress.
 In the meantime none of the British, Italian or other foreign delegates are here, except Col. E. M. House, the American representative to the con- ference, who is confined to his bed with the grippe. Several members of his staff also are down with the prevailing epidemic.

If the allied powers could not see their way clear to accept them the American government was in the position of having conducted the war for purposes which were not identical with those of the allies.
 This presented a rather delicate, issue at the outset, as it was realiz- ed that it might require the submis- sion of the entire subject to the American congress. The European ministers felt the force of the views presented, and this in time brought about an entire agreement upon the American points as a basis of peace negotiations.
