COPELAND WARNS
AGAINST INFLUENZA
"New York Wonderfully Free
of Disease, but Precautions
Must Be Taken.

Emphasizing the fact that New York
is wonderfully free" OF the disease, DIT.
Royal S. Copeland. Health Commits
sioner. issued a warning last night
against the danger of Spanish influenza
being spread by sailors and passengers
coming ashore from navy and other YES
sells. Twenty-three new cases Of the
disease have been discovered. DR.. Cope
land said. all OF which were found to
have been among either sailors or per-
sons who had come into this port aboard
navy vessels or ships engaged in the
coastwise trade
One of the greatest dangers of the
disease, DR.. Copeland pointed out. Is the
development OF pneumonia, two positive
and one proba bic case OF pneumonia
being listed among the twenty-three new
cases reported yesterday. These figures.
according to Or. Copeland. show a
rather hiDh" percentage OF pneumonia.
Cases Limited to Sailors.
Apparently SO far as New York is
concerned" the Health COMMISSIONER 8
statement said. the cases are limited to
sailors. They are mild compared to
otners WnlCn nave come on SHIPS from
abroad. This is no doubt accounted for
by the-fact that there is much greater
resistance In the makeup of the sailors
than in ordinary rnortals to disease.
The really great danger is from pneu-
monia. which often follows. Many sailors
have a furlough over the Jewish holidays
and will be in this city. II they have
the disease and get in big crowds there
is danger All churches should be well
ventilated. II they are not other persons

Guarding Against Disease.
There is no occasion for alarm here
In New York. but the epidemic Is here
and We have got TO guard against il.
Very old and very young persons are
most susceptible and they should guard
especially against ii. Moreover. every
body should be careful not 20 cough or
sneeze without catching the secretions in
his or her handkerchief. Children with
running noses should be sent home from
school.
Fresh air and sunlight are fatal To
the germs and everybody ought to get all
the air and sunlight possible. New York
is wonderfully free of the disease. Bos-
ton is full Of II. We want to keep just
as free Of II as we can and the people

ones own father. I shall thank you
for any advice you or your readers can
give me an dothers who know are
IN my position. -
uoW we feel for you, my dear girl,
i i knowing of the battle that must
be going on in your heart! But there
is only one way to decide. You have
said it yourself. 1t is your duty as a
loyal woman of America to check this.
Your country comes first. Report
your father to the Department of
Justice. stating the case so clearly
that he can find no clever phrases to
hide behind.
If your father Is interned. you can
play splendid part in this great war
of ours by working hard to support
YOUR mother. and I am sure both YOU
and she will be willing to make many
sacrifices in order to make both ends
meet. This will seem hard to her, the
reporting of her husband by his own
daughter. But 1t must be remembered
that brothers have fought on opposite
sides in wars for the sake of their
convictions.
After all, a man has the right to
fight fer his convictions If he firmly
believes in them. But the battles here
that go on between pro.German
parents and American boys and girls
have not the saving grace of fair
fight. The weapons of the pro.German
in America are the despicable weapons
of the coward. He is like the guest
entertained at the home Of a generous.
trusting big hearted friend. He eats
the friends food. sleeps in his bed
and then when night comes gets up
and stabs him in the back. If pro-
Germans in America are so loyal to
their. Fatherland, why didn't they go
over and let the Kaiser whip them
into line with the rest of his herd
in the early days of the war? Why
did they ever leave Germany in the
first place? Let them answer!
