GERMANS MELTING
MEDALS OF PARIS
Decorations Nor Entering French
Capital Now Useless.

Paris. Oct. S.-There has Just
come to Paris a copy of another
relic of blasted German ambition, a
valuable addition to Frances his
toric collection of war souvenirs.
It is a copy of the commemora
tive medal the Germans made in
anticipation of their entry into
Paris in September, 1914.
Thousands of them were struck
off. But they sort of got out of
date. And then, in consequence of
the lack of metals in Germany, the
disappointed Huns recently were
obliged to send ten wagon loads of
the medals to q Dresden foundry,
to be made into something useful.
Only one Of the original medals
remains. 1t is on exhibition in the
museum at Basel, Switserland-an
object Of Joy or sorrow, according
to the nationality Of visitors who
view it
The original medal is the size of
half dollar. made of light metal,
yellow tinted. On one side is the
iron cross and the date "1s14," and
an inscription United within, reso-
lutte without" On the other side the
Eifel Tower and the Arch of Tri-

dates '18h-1s14" and the inscrip-

Discourage Relatives Coming.
Discouragement should be given
in every way to the parents of the
stricken out-of-town Washington
ians who Immediately want to rush
here when they hear that their son
or daughter is i'll. Their presence
say health authorities, has three
disadvantages. In almost every in
stance the stricken person is on
the way to recovery before the
members of his family can reach the
city. Then there is no room in the
congested city to care for the new
arrivals so that they are forced to
seek shelter in crowded quarters
This in itself renders them subject
to the disease and If they are strick-
en- 1t increases the number of sick
persons which Washington must
care for. Every hospital in the city
is caring for sick people at the
full capacity Of their accommoda-
tions. The health authorities urge
that~when the families of stricken
Washingtonians are told of the
sickness of their son or daughter
that they are discouraged to make
the attempt to come to the city.
That the epidemic has not reach
ed the pinnacle of its strength the
health authorities firmly believe. II
is expected that the number Of new
cases that are reported daily will
increase for two weeks longer and
that the epidemic will not have
completely spent itself for ive or
six weeks longer.
Twenty-four More Deaths.
Twenty-four deaths were reported
in the District from II o'clock Satur.

Oficka1 Figures AnnOuneed.
For the first time in several days
figures were given out by the
Health Department of the number
of cases which had been reported
by the physicians. Using this as q
measure, the number Of cases in
the city is increasing and the death
rate is approximately as high as at
any time since the disease has held
sway in the city. The crisis, ply
sicians declare. has not as yet been
reached.
Washington has not yet felt the
full force of the Spanish influenza
epidemic. and can expect to face
more serious situation than exists
at present" declared DIR. William
c. Fowler of the Health Department,
last night.
The effect of the restrictive or
ders which have been issued as pre-
ventive measures can not as yet be
clearly seen. The reports of the
physicians today indicate that the
number of new cases is constantly
increasing" he said.
Churches Aaid Department.
Splendid cooperation was offered by
the churches of the city to the man
date of the Health Department in re-
gard to the closing OF the edifices
yesterday. Only one or two infringe
ments of this order were reported by
the Police Department.
Several churches of the city held
open air meetings yesterday and on
Saturday groups of people were con-
gregated at street corners by enter
tainers in the interest of the liberty
loan. II the Commissioners feel that
these are a detriment to the health
OF the citizens an order may be ex-
pected asking they be discontinued.
Practically all q the churches had
planned to r. open air services.
These were prevented in many in
stances by the inclemency of the
weather. From the reports of last
night, indications point to the issu-
ance of an order by the Commission
ers to the effect that all open sir
meetings of every kind be discon-
demic has not abated by next Sun
day no open air services will be held
at the churches of the city.

has been called by Rev. Henry w. o.

Federation, for this morning at II
