NFLUENzA. GAINS 366 VICTIMS IN 4S HOUR PERIOD Record Shows 4,675 Cases and 163 Deaths at g
 a. m. Today.
NURSING PROBLEM
 IS AGAIN SERIOUS
Isolation Hospital Figures Published Factories Now
 Request Use of Vaccine.
Monday, Oct. 28

With 23O new cases of Span ish influenza reported to the health authorities for the 24 hour period ending at 9 o'clock this morning, and 366 in 48 hours, pr. Walter H. Brown re- iterated his statement of last week, saying that he believed the epidemic is on the down. ward path in Bridgeport. As sistant Surgeon c, s. Sandige of the U. s. Public Health Service is in agreement with the health officer. Twenty deaths occurred over the weekend, and the in fluenza record in this city at 9 o'clock this morning showed a total of 4,675 cases and 163 deaths.
 The nursing situation has again be- come serious, and while the authori- ties say they are just able to keep their heads above water at the Isola- tion hospital, large number of wom- en are needed to act as nurses aids, not only at the hospital but to assist the visiting nurses.
 Dr. Brown said this morning that in many cases it is the difference be- tween life and death to have a wom- an come in and care for sufferers in boarding houses and homes where they are unable to receive proper care and attention. Bridgeport has cer- tainly been lax in it's response to the appeals for aid made by the Red Cross, Health department and other organizations. While we need a num- Der of trained nurses we can get along with our present supply if enough women are willing to go into homes and just sponge the face of a patient who is burning with fe- yer and fix the bed, etc.,. to answer our appeals"
 The Health Department and the Red Cross, will today make a special effort to obtain this kind of aid. All patriotic and humane residents of the city are urged to volunteer by get ting in touch with either organiza- tion at once.
 Figures made public by Dr. Brown today show that since the start of the epidemic, PIP patients have been admitted to the Isolation hospital al Hillside. Practically all of this mum Der were the most serious cases | brought to the attention of the de- partment. Sixty-six patients have been discharged as cured, 76 died al | the institution, seven have been trans ferred and 6S are occupying beds. Several Bridgeport factories are applying to the health department for the administration of the vaccine | received in Bridgeport. Dr. Browr said that he is able to furnish all the vaccine necessary for the inoculations but that he is no longer able to fur. nish the physicians necessarily to the work. The health officer said that | the vaccine was offered to the fac. | tories some time ago, when doctors of the U. s. Public Health Service were on hand to administer it, anC that the Remington company was the only concern to take advantage o1 the offer.
 He said that he did not advocate it's use and that he does not advocat tt it now as the process is still in ar experimental stage, but that he vii furnish it on demand. The factorie!
 will now have to furnish their owr physicians.

 Dear Senator: I am glad to re- spond to the question addressed to me by your letter of October 2G The words I used in my address to the congress of January 8, 1918, were:
 The removal, so far as possible, of all economic barriers and the es- tabltshment of an equality of trade conditions among all the nations con- senting to the peace and associating themselves for its maintenance.'
 T, of course, meant to suggest no restriction npon the free determina- ton by any nation of it's own eco- homie polity, but only that, whatever tariff any nation might deem neces- sary for its own economic service, be that tariff high or low, it should apply equally to all foreign nations: in other words that there shal be no dis criminations against some nations that did not apply tD others. This leaves every nation free to determine for itself it's own internal policies and limits only it's right to compound these policies of hostile discrimina- tions between one nation and another

GERMANY DESIRES
PEACE At ANY COST
PLEA IS NOW BEFORE THE
ALLIED GOVERNMENTS FOR
ACTION WHICH MAY END WAR.
Officers of Supreme War Council viii
Probably Be Invoked to Prepare
Documents Defining Conditions
For Settlement.

Washington. Germany's plea for
an armistice and peace now is before
the allied governments, which are to
determine whether they are disposed
to accept President Wilson's principles
of settlements, to which Germany sub
scribes, and, in accord with the United
States, ask their military advisers and
those of America to prepare the terms
of an armistice which virtually will
mean surrender by Germany.
In variouSpublic utterances, the pre-
miers and other leaders Of the entente
powers have repeatedly declared that
President Wilson's statements in his
address Of last January and subse-
Quent addresses reflect their own
views. Something more official and
binding is required now, although it Is
regarded here as a fOregOne conclusion
that this approval will be registered
and that the offices of the supreme
war council will be invoked to prepare
the fateful document which will define
the conditions under which Germany
may secure relief from the incessant
hammering of the victorious allied and
American armies.
1t is known that the supreme war
council already has given the matter
the most earnest consideration. And
in that connection it was recalled that
there was no delay in notifying Gen
eral D'Espernay, the allied comman-
der on the Balkan front, Of the terms
that should be laid down for Bulgaria
when that nation asked for an armis-
tice. The general principles in each
case probably are similar, but there
necessarily will be great variance In
the details, since not only Is greater
army and nation to be dealt with, but
the question of large naval forces as
well.
