ernor. acting as stage manager. the State

board Edwin S. Harris, State chairman,

logg to the place.
The whole transaction took less than
ten minutes and was done by about
twenty committeeman voting for them
selves and holding the proxies Of up
ward OF 100 others.
As Mr.. Harris had refused to resign
II Was necessary TO get him out without
his doing SO. This WAS accomplished
by the unanimous passage Of a resolu-
ton sponsored by William II. Kelley Of
Syracuse, changing the committee rules
by striking out the clause providing the
State chairman was to hold Office for
two years and inserting a clause that
any officer OF the State Committee was
to hold his position until his successor

THEATRES NEED
NOT CLOSE FOR
GRIP EPIDEMIC
DR.. Copeland Tells Mana.

New Cases Increase in Bronx,
but Number Is Smaller in
Manhattan.

The spread of influenza and pneumonia
throughout the greater city progresses,
but at rate which comparably-in view
Of the appalling strides OF the epidemic
In other cities-is far less rapid or ex-
tenslve than elsewhere. New York's
comparative freedom from the disease is
credited in large part TO the measures
adopted by the Health Commissioner, DIT.
Royal S. Copeland.
The leading theatrical men of the city
went to DR.. Copeiands office early last
night in numbers partly to tell him. with
every evidence Of sincerity. of their APP
probation of the way the doctor and his
department are handling the situation,
but chiefly to know whether he intended
to shut up the theatres and movie houses,
as has been done in practically every
other city in the country.
DR.. Copeland faced the big gathering
OF producers and first of all. as is his
habit, asked the managers TO air their
views before he gave his own. A. Token
Worm, who was present with j. J. Shu-
bert to represent the Shubert side of the
two great theatrical combinations, said
tina: in the opinion of the firm the clos
ing OF the theatres now would only cause
a panicky feeling. The Shuberts wished
90 cooperate with the department in
every way, said Mr.. Worm, and OF course
would do so, but believed the closing
now would be a mistake.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-10-11

This paved the way for eliminating
Harris. Then a second resolution mani
ing Judge Kellogg as chairman was
unanimously passed. The latter resolu-
ton automatically ousted Harris, put
Kellogg in and also served the purpose
OF permitting Judge Kellogg to resign al
the end OF the campaign, which was one
OF the conditions under which he con-
, scented to take the place.
State Senator James A. Foley, repre-
sent1ng Charles p. Murphy. was the only
committeeman from Greater New York
In attendance. Even William Church
Osborn sent his proxy. Mr.. Harris did
not attend. so Secretary George X. Van
nance presided
The committee went on record as
favoring an Increase in the membership
OF the State committee from $50 10
800, to permit the naming OF women
and also passed a resolution offered by
National Committeeman Norman 4.
Mack praising President Wilson for his
handling OF the German peace feeler.

The city authorities, who had been
hoping a few days ago that the epidemic
would ''burn itself out" during the pres
ent week, yesterday had to face an in
crease of new cases all along the line
IN the number OF cases of influenza and
pneumonia and also in the total of
deaths from both diseases-throughout
the greater city during the twenty-four
hours ending at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning.
The figures given out then showed that
in twolof the five boroughs, Brooklyn
and The Bronx, there had been an in
crease in new cases of influenza over
Wednesday, and in Manhattan. Queens
and Richmond a decrease. New cases
II pneumonia were more numerous yes

by Health Commissioner Copeland that
bscause of faulty diagnoses and other
Iaxity beyond the control of the Health
Department many cases of real infiu-

belief of those in closest touch with the
situation that this city, as compared
20 other communities. so far has been
extremely fortunate in holding the cpl
demic in check. In many cities of this

OF the inhabitants have been stricken

SAVING STILL NEEDED IF
NEW FOOD PROG RAM
is TO Be A SUCCESS

During the coming year, America
must ship to Europe 100000 tons OF
food stuffs''
With this announcement, Herbert
Hoover, federal food administrator.
places on the American people re-
sponsibility greater than any before.
The $3.50 substitute rulings have
been relaxed, the erstwhile ban upon
beef products has been lessened-and
yet Americans must send 100000
tons of food next year to her allies.
This gigantic program means that
every man, woman and child who is
for Liberty against Tyranny, must
make his eating, and his buying as
sane and saving as possible, and keep
the consumption of vital food stuffs in
America down to the lowest point.
The relaxation of the stricter rules is
not meant to lower the bars so that
boarding or excessive consumption is
allowable. 1t Is simply to relieve con-
sumers from rules which worked a
certain amount of hardship, but
which were absolutely necessary dur
ing the wheat crisis of a few months
ago.
The food administration still re-
serves the right to commander &ny or
all flour consumers may have on hand
should the need arise-as 1t did in
the spring of 1917. 1t is hoped that
consumers will realize that out of the
great harvest this year. reserve sup
ply of food must be built If future
short crops and decreased labor are to
be discounted and made harmless.
1.-THE food administration will ex-
pect every patriotic American to hold
flour now purchased in trust, SO to
speak, for uture use of the govern
ment, and to keep that flour in such
a manner that 1t will not be damaged
or ruined" declared T. B. Steafns.

HOME FOLKS URGED
TO KEEP FAITH
WITH "YANKS" BY
CONTINUED SAVING
"A Sword, a Spade and a Thought
Should Never BE Allowed
to Rust"

This was part OF the wise philosophy
Of the women in Irish folk lore, and
IL is now rich in wartime symbolism.
That the Allied sword is not being
permitted to rust is evidenced in the
recent victories on the western front.
Firearms are bright and shining, and
the enemy is on the run. There must
be no relaxing of the military pro
gram American soldiers must be
kept going in a steady stream that
the Allied forces may push on to
quicker victory.
These men must be fed. The civil
ans spade must not rust. The great
er our accomplishment in putting
American soldiers in the European
battlefield the greater is the civilian
responsibility to keep their bodies fit
and their spirits buoyed
American agriculture has had a ban
ner year. The patriotic response OF
the farmers coupled with favorable
weather conditions has increased enor-
mously the cereal production so that
all fear of famine has been removed.
equally patriotic has been the re-
Spouse in the planting of war gar
dens. Recent reports on the planting
for 1918 show 5,2S5,000 food plots or
an increase over last year of 81 per
cent. The estimated value of these
food products Is 1925, 100000. or 80 per
cent increase over last year
This is no time. however. to relax
either in production or saving. This
years bountiful harvest may be fol-
lowed by a correspondingly poor one
next year More men will gradually
leave the fields for the army and the
reaction win be felt at next years
harvest. Now is the time to prepare
for this by keeping up the conserva-
ton program and building up sur
plus for possible leaner days ahead.
Equal in Importance to the sword
and spade is to keep the thought OF
the American people free from rust.
The collective thought Of the nation
must be pitched on a high place and
concentrated on the one goal-a con-
elusive peace.
A year ago last April America sent
word that she was coming. And she
rapidly increasing numbers and the
allied fighters now know that her
sword will not be allowed to rust.
The morale of both soldiers and
civilians Is based largely on being
well fed. That America is ready and
willing to share her food was shown
in the wheat saving last year. She
not only decreased her own consump-
ton to meet the European demands,
but she increased her production OF
all cereals.
Americas sword and spade have in
jected new hope, and the thoughts OF
the American people must not now be
allowed to rust. Europe has faith in
US, and we must maintain this faith.

SUGAR BOWL

The old time-honored sugar bowl

the United States during the coming
