INFL UENZA GAINS 346
 CASES; HEALTH OFFICER
 OPTIMISTIC FOR FUTURE

K. Cooper. now head nurse at the Isolation hospital. He said that she
 has organized the handling of pa tients in such a manner that the lack of assistance is being combatted in a way that would do credit to any in- stitution. This fact should not lead
 to the belief that we will not need more aid" said Dr. Brown. we do need additional help. and need it
 badly, and the fact that the slight re- sponse that we did have to our ap-
 peals for nurses clear up the situa-
 tion to it's present state should be an incentive for others to volunteer their
 assistance"
 Except for the closing of the even-
 ing classes in the schools the situa- tion in that quarter remains un-
 changed. The evening classes were abandoned primarily so that janitors and other helpers may have ample opportunity to get the class rooms in a health condition in the evenings With night classes following closely
 on the heels of the day sessions it was impossible for the 1anitors to disin- feet the rooms and clean the desks in the proper fashion. pr. Brown still maintains the stand that the schools should be kept open until it is def1- nitely shown that the influenza has taken a serious hold in the class rooms. He stated today that if at
 any time in the near future he was shown that the health of the children
 and teachers were being more es dan
 gered in school rooms than they would be at home or in the streets, he
 would take prompt action and close them.
 To aid the supervision of workers in its plants the Remington Arms and U. M. c. ComDanv has formed a nursing corps and the young ladies are given instruction detecting inf1u-
 enza by competent physicians. They
 will also act as home nurses when
 employees of the company are reported
 absent. An investigation tstto be
 made, and if aid Is necessary the girls will be sent to the patients home.

Spanish influenza is again on the in crease in Bridgeport. The general situation, however, tends to show that the authorities are at least hold ing their own with the new inroads caused by the malady. and Health Officer Dr. Walter H. Brown said to- day that he can at last. see daylight ahead of him, and that without unfor- seen circumstances arising, he feels confident that within the next week the health authorities will hold a se- cure rein on any further increase that is likely to occur. For the A hours ending at g o'clock this morning, 346 new cases were reported, with a rec ord death list for a single day of 22. The total number of cases that have been reported in Bridgeport are now 3,287, and the number of deaths 9S.
 Dr. Brown said that while the num- Der of new cases reported in the A hour period showed a considerable in crease over the previous days report, @ number of these cases should be credited to Sunday, as reports for the Sabbath are never entirely complete The average maintained for Sunday and Monday of 241 cases, is in accord ance with that of the end of last week. It is on this fact that Dr. Brown bases the statement that he believes the authorities are getting to a point where they will be able to say that they have the epidemic com pletely under control.
 At the Isolation hospital at Hill
 side. 65 patients are now suffering from the malady. 12 deaths occurring at that institution in the "A hour pe-
 riod. The health officer said that the
 number of deaths at this stage of the game are not unexpected as the seri- ous pneumonia cases are now result ing as complications from earlier suf- ferers of influenza.
 While a number of nurses are still needed at the hospital and also order lies and women to attend to the home cases. this aspect of the situation is
 improving each day. Dr. Brown had
 nothing but praise for Mrs. Margaret

The charges appearance at the State Department was delayed for several hours, as the task of decoding and translating proved to be long and tedious. Considerable difficulties in verbiage may be shown and 1t is un- derstood that the official text will clear up obscure sentences.
 Indications were that no announce ment of a decision by the President could be expected before tomorrow. Secretary Lansing was with him un- til near midnight last night discuss ing the wireless version, but there now must be further conferences and it is assumed there will be exchanges with the Allied capitals.
 Although the note is regarded as an awkward attempt to meet the condi- tions laid down by President Wilson for consideration of an armistice, no tone here says that an immediate cessation of hostilities is in sight. Generally the opinion is that the only step possible at this time would be to sanction with approval of the Al lied governments arrangements to be dictated by Marshal Foch in the field for the evacuation of France and Belgium. As any such arrangements necessarily would safeguard the supremacy now held by the Allied armies, an armistice virtually would mean surrender by the Germans.
 The general tone of the note to- gether with the significant statemen that The offer of peace and an arnis. tice has come from a Government which is free from any arbitrary anC irresponsible influence" strengthen: the belief here that there is a genuine desire for peace. Like the first note this one Is regarded in some quart CTS as another step in the German plan of bargaining in the hope of SC curing terms more favorable than thu unconditional surrender.
 Official comment continued to bC withheld awaiting an indication O the Presdents views.
 Observers here who are convinced that the enemy is beaten into submis sion and that efforts at bargaining now are merely a prelude to complet, surrender in the near future, if tn, allies hold firm to the determination to accept nothing less are contained in confidential diplomatic dispatche here today, and say that the people il Fower are ready to throw out th Kaiser and all his war lords to ge peace,

Development of the plan being fol- lowed by the German High Command in conducting It's retreat from north ern France and Belgium makes it ap- parent that Metz is being used as a pivot for the movement. While the Germans are pouring fresh divisions into the line in front of the Americans northwest of Verdun in an attempt to hold the line firmly, the rest of the German legions are swinging back toward the Belgian border.
 There are several situations along the front, however. which render it possible and even probable, that Mar shnl Foch will seriously interfere with the orderly retirement of the enemy forces. It seems certain that the Funding line has been outfanked in Belgium. where the Schedlt river has been crossed and east of Lacateau,

 Military men here, however, regard it as inconceivable that orders would be given while desperate efforts are being made to hold the American and Allied troops at bay at certain points on the western front.
 London, Oct. 22-With reference to paragraph in the German note de- fining that the German navy in sink ing ships ever purposely destroyed lifeboats with their passengers, it is pointed out in government circles that many cases could be quoted in reply to this denial. Two recent cases are the Llandovery Castle, the Cana dian Hospital ship sunk in the At lantic and the French steamer Ly- diana, sunk off the North Coast ot ! Spain on July 16.
