BAN TO REMAIN

FEW NEW CASES
Physicians Who Fail to Treat
Sick Flayed by Health
Officer

Although the epidemic situation
in Harrisburg is steadily improving,
the ban closing. all amusements,
schools, saloons, wholesale liquor
stores and other places will be
enforced indefinitely" DR.. j. NJ. J.
Raunick, city health officer, said to-
day in answer to numerous queries
about when the restrictions would
be lifted.
IF we are not careful now we can
do more harm in twenJy-four hours
than we could remedy in a month.
| want every one to continue ohserV-
ing the closing orders and on Satur-
day night all business places and
stores are to close again at $50
o'clock. We are determined to use
every possible means TO stop the dis
ease and will not take any chances
with a second outbreak because of
lifting the quarantine ban too soon.
Harrisburgers must be patient. 1t
is far better to keep things closed,
prevent large gatherings and stop
the sickness and death, than to let
the places open too soon, and have
a repetition of conditions, with
thousands more victims and hun
dreds of deaths.
Need of Quarantine
The danger point will soon be
past, but if the closing orders are
not continued residents of the city
would only be subjected to contagion
and there is certainly no one who
would want another outbreak of the
disease" DIR. Rauhick concluded.
The number of new cases is de-
creasing daily, physicians report,
and at the emergency hospital, Fifth
and Seneca streets, there are less
than seventy patients now. Four
new cases were admitted, and about
a dozen patients discharged. Two
deaths occurred there to-day. Both
of the patients were brought to the
hospital in a critical condition. They

Make Good Progress

NldhC SOOu AIOEECSN
British troops again are storming
the German defenses west of Maui
beuge The new attack, Launched
early to-day between Solesmes and
lie Cateau, is reported to be making
good progress
Field Marshal Haig, in driving
forward on the seven mile front
north of lie Cateau also is increas-
ing the menace to Nalenciennes,
through the western suburbs of
which the British are lighting. North
of Nalenciennes the city has been
outflanled by the capture of Bruay.
1T is not probable the Germans will
be able to hold out in Valenciennes
much longer and once the Scheldt is
crossed here the British will be in
position to threaten seriously both
Mons and Maubeuge."
Win High Ground
Between lie Cateau and Solesmes
the British are on the high ground
east of the Selle river and it is from
this favorable position to-day's at
tack was begun. The German re-
sistance here has been bitter as the
line is vital to the security of the
German defenses over a wide front
to the south and southeast.
In southwestern Belgium the Brit
ish continue to close in on Tournai.
North of the town they have forced
a crossing of the Scheldt while on
the south they have reached the
western bank of the river on a four
mile front from Bruyelles to Bile
haries.
South of lie Cateau the enemy is
resisting stubbornly French at
tempts to cross the Serre river and
take in the rear the German posi-
tions east of the Disc. South of the
railroad junction of Montcornet the
French have made progress between
Nizy-le- Comte and lie Thour.

Only One Problem

Official intimation already has
been given that the only ques-
ton for immediate consideration
is whether there shall be a dis
cussion of terms" of evacuation
while the Allied and American
armies continue their work oI
clearing Belgium and Northern
France.
Exchanges between Washington
and the Allied capitals have been
in progress on the basis of the wire
less version of the note received
Monday and it is regarded as GER
tain that any reply the President
may make will be governed by the
supreme war council in France.
1t was said the expected verbal
differences in the wireless version
mad the official text did not appear
to alter substantially the meaning of
the note.
Secretaries. Lansing and Daniels
and General March, chief of staff of
the Army, were called to the White
House shortly after noon, just as a
state Department messenger arrived
TO deliver the German note to the
President.
Secretary Daniels and General
March remained only a short time,
leaving the President and Mr.. Lans-
ing in conference.
The new German note, an official
dispatch from Rome to-day says.
strengthens the belief there in ac-
counts of the wretched internal sit
uation in Germany and that complete
dismemberment of the Germanic al
lance is at hand at the moment when
the Entente Allies are bound more
solidly together.
1t is said to be the unanimous
thought of the Italian people that the
enemy must accept the terms de-
manded by the military leaders.
