He also explained that there has
| been a general decrease in new cases
! of influenza, but that he expects an
increase in pneumonia cases and
more deaths from pneumonia than
cases reported. The reason for this,
according to De. Raunick, is that a
number of persons recovering from
I influenza believe they are we'll and
! expose themselves, get sick again
and pneumonia develops. Other
cities are having that experience
and Harrisburgers should profit by
| the warning. Those who are recov-
ering from influenza should be par

possible 10 prevent a second illness
| and the danger of contracting pneu-
monia."
Undertakers in the city report in

with the result that many bodies are

One undertaken said that collins to
be used to-day as the services were
to be held this morning, had not
reached the city until last night.

Marked improvement in the influ-

twenty -four hours was noticeable,
according to city health officials who
reported a decrease in deaths and
new cases and a big increase in re-
coveries.
The exact number of new cases
could not be estimated by the au-

said the situation has improved

ALIEN TONGUES
HERE TO BE MADE
SPEAK IN ENGLISH
Representatives of Foreign
Races to Meet For Discus
sion of the Plans

Representatives of all foreign
races in the city have been request
ed to attend meeting to be held this
evening at o'clock in the Clty
Council Chamber, when plans for the
Americanization work to be done In
Harrisburg under the direction OF
the school district, will be announc-
ed. The men who have been invited
TO be present will be urged to arouse
interest among others of their ma
tionality and get them to enroll in
the night schools which Will oe
opened November 4, unless the in
fluenza epidemic interferes.
Plans made by Prof. John H. Bick-
ley. supervisor of special activities
for the school district, will be eN-
planned at the meeting by both Mr..
Buckley and r. Ross Seaman, chair
man of the Americanization Com
mittee for the State Council OF Ma
tional Defense.
1t is planned to have the night
schools held on Monday. Tuesday
and Thursday evenings of each
week at the Central High school,
Capital and Forster streets, and the
Harris building, Front and Vine
streets. Glasses will be open to both
men and women and will be free.
All necessary supplies for the men
and women will be furnished with
out cost also.
The Americanization movement
here is part of a nationwide cam
paign TO teach all foreignborn resi-
dents to speak the English language
entirely. A census which has been
almost completed shows that about
per cent. of the parents OF city
school children use a language other
than English at all times in the
home and that in an additional two
per cent. of the families English and
a foreign language are spoken.
In addition TO the study of Eng
lish, Mr. Buckley has announced he
has plans under consideration which
will provide recreation also for the
men and women. The hours for the
classes will be from 7.30 o'clock un-
Ill o'clock. The first part OF the
evenings work will be a study of
language and American customs.
The remainder of the time will be
used for other activities which will
include debating, glees clubs and
probably the formation of band or
an orchestra.

YANKEE SOLDIERS
SHOES ARE TO FIT
New System Adopted at Camp
Dix Is to Be Used
Generally

Camp Dix, Wrightstown, N j.
THE soldiers with the best feet are
the best fighters!" is 4 slogan of the
American armies. Uncle Sam al
ready has the best-shod army in the
field, but under the new plans of the
War Department, adopted at Camp
Dix and soon TO be extended to ev-
cry post in the United States and its
possessions, foot comfort will be a
guaranteed factor in every American
soldiers field experience. Not only
is the War Department determined
that only the very best of materials
shall go into Army shoes, but the
shoes of each fighter will be fitted
with as great care as milady uses in
choosing her gloves.
Sizes to Be Recorded
Recruits soon to report at Camp
Dix for training will be introduced to
this new system. They will learn
that literally as we'll as figuratively
Uncle Sam builds his armies from
the ground up" The foot measure
ments of each soldier hereafter will
be personally responsible for the &C
curacy of these measurements. The
measure of his civilian foot will be
taken when he comes to camp and
this will be changed until it indi-
Gates the measurem ents of his mill
tary feet, developed by weeks OF
marching.
There will be no gueSswork about
fitting the shoes The Quartermas
ter Corps is prepared to furnish foot
measuring machines to organizations
throughout the camp for the use OF
supply officers. Experience has
shown the supply officers that many
recruits do not know the size of the
shoes that will fit their feet. Often
they think they know, when' from
Vanity's sake, they have beer
cramping a No. 8 hoof into a Z n
boot and wondering why they con-
tinually suffer from corns and bun
ions. Dame Fashion had no part ir
creating the Army shoe. and for the
first time in many years these re-
cruits will learn the meaning of real
foot comfort.
Under the new system the foot
measurers will need to become art
lists at their work. Both feet of each
soldier will be measured. If the
feet require shoes specially mated
they will have them. If there is q
troublesome corn or bunion, the
proper stretching of the leather to
cover it will be arranged.
AS the soldier will want his shoes
to fit snugly on the march. the final
measurements will be taken when
the soldier with a forty-pound pack
on his back puts his feet into his
shoes of the size indicated by the
machine. Experts will examine the
fitted shoe to see whether 1t is suit
ed to the wearer. All Army shoes
must allow for sufficient vacant
space in the front to prevent toe in
Jury. Under no circumstances must
the vacant space in front or the
great toe be less than two-thirds oil
an inch, or the width of the wear
er's thumb.
Fitted With Great Care
AS great care is now taken In Mt
ting socks as in adjusting shoes. The
home-knitted socks of early war
days, il soldiers were allowed to
wear them, might have carried
many a boy to defeat. Home folks
who send socks to the recruits will
be interested in an abstract from
the new orders which reads:

er Royer said last night that at the
time the closing order was issued
he had not conferred with the state
advisory board, but subsequently
had secured the written approval of
FIVE out of six of the members" Dr.
Royer stated further that in dis
cussing the matter of a meeting Of
the board a week later DR.. Pen
rose had raised a dissenting voice.
DIR. Roger in a formal letter ad-
dressed TO DR.. Penrose assured the
latter that he was at liberty TO make
a statement through the newspapers
regarding his opposition TO the or
der. A statement issued by DR.. Roy
er says: Regarding the manner in
which the order has been received
and observed throughout the state,
the evidence tends to show that
these drastic regulations are meet
ing with te approval of the best citi-
zens of Pennsylvania"

Epidemic GrolUS in
States Coal Regions

The State Department of Health
issued this statement to-day:
Reports received at the State De-
partment of Health up until noon In
dicate the influenza epidemic is ex-
tending rather rapidly in the coal
towns in Cambria, Westmoreland,
and Allegheny counties. There is a
great need for doctors and nurses
in these districts and it is feared con-
ditions will rapidly grow worse and
a larger number of cases develop be-
fore the peak of the epidemic is
reached. The epidemic is also in
creasing in Luzerne and Lackawanna
counties. The disease is apparently
abating in the city sections of Ches-
ter, Philadelphia. Lancaster, Berks
and Schuylkill, but is extending in
the rural sections of Berks, Lebanon
and Lanca ster counties.

through with separate dealings with
he German authorities. The whole
situation is before the co-belligerent
governments and the future an
nouncements will be of the United
States and the Allied governments
acting in concert.
The decision of Americas co-belli-
gerents is awaited with scarcely less
interest than is the effect of the note
on the German people, who plainly
are told that the United States can
not discuss peace with those who
hitherto have been masters of Ger
many's policy because the nations of
the world do not and cannot trust
them. If these military masters and
monarchial autocrats must be dealt
with now or in the future, the Presi-
dent said, the United States and the
Allies can demand nothing but sur
render.
Allies to Name Terms
In notifying Germany that its re-
quest had been transmitted to the
Allies, the President said he had
suggested to them that il they are
| disposed to effect peace upon the
terms and principles now accepted
by the present German authorities,
their military advisers and those OF
the United States be asked if they
deem an armistice possible from a
military point of view, to submit
terms of an armistice that will in
sure the associated governments un-
restricted power to enforce peace
upon Germany.
In the view of military observers
here, such terms would include oc-
cupation of strategic points in Ger
many; demobilization of the German
armies, the turning over of the
German navy and the removal of the
means of equipping military and
naval forces.
