Decline in New Cases.
A ray Of comfort was provided yester-
day by the Board OF Health's report
showing a sharp decline In the number
OF new cases Of Influenza for the twenty
four hour period ended at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning. Tho figures for
Manhattan showed an increase Of 17s
new cases over the number reported for
the twenty-four hour period ended at
10 o'clock Saturday morning, but
throughout the, greater city there was
a paper decrease of s45 cases over the
day preceding.
Similarly there / we're three fewer
deaths from Influenza reported through
cut the greater city on Sunday than on
Saturday. There was an increase of
thirty in the number of new cases OF
pneumonia reported for Sunday as
against those reported on Saturday, but
at the same time the totals for yester-
day showed four fewer deaths from this
malady over Saturdays figures
In comparing these statistics. however,
II must be taken into consideration that
the week end figures usually show a
decline. due partly. II is said. to the
fact that many OF the doctors neglect
to report their cases on Saturday after
noon and Sunday.

New Appeal for Nurses.
After a conference with Health Com

ment yesterday again emphasizing the
crying need for nurses. aids and unskilled
workers to serve In hospitals and influ-

Men are needed as we'll az women
reads the committees appeal. I'VE need
men and women to scrub floors. to help
battle patients, TO cook and wash dishes.
No man or woman should feel himself
above such work at such a time. 1t will
be sacrifice, 1t is true, but a sacrifice
in a glorious cause. The man or woman
who offers his or her services to the
sick during this crisis will be doing a
wonderful thing. Patients are suffering
from lack of care"
To meet the lack OF skilled workers

churches insisted upon holding services
yesterday on the theory that the open
church was no worse an agent for the
spread Of the epidemic than the open

to order the places OF worship closed
was questioned by the ministers, many
of whom had closed the doors OF their
churches a week before. In New York
city the clergy made splendid response
TO Commissioner Copeland's appeal to
urge cooperation among churchgoers in
the fight against the epidemic. DR..
Copeland had planned to speak at the
evening service in Grace Church, but
was unable to leave his office until late
at night.

DANBERG DEFIES EXEMPTION
 BOARD TO DECLARE HIM OUT
FIRE COMMISSIONERS WANT TO BUY AERIAL Estimates for 191S-19 Re- ported in Excess of
 Present Year.

When the fire commissioners came before the board of finance and taxa ton later this month with their bud get for the coming year it is expected that the total appropriation to be sought will be greatly in excess of that graned last year, which was $79,S35. Chief among the items for which the fire commissioners will ask will be an appropriation of SIP, ,250 for the purchase of a new 75-foot motor aerial truck for the central fire station on Commercial street.
 If this amount is granted and the commissioners buy the otor aerial the present city service truck will be transferred to No. 2 house on Elm street. With this truck at No. house and the addition of the new motor pump which is to arrive in March also at this station the section Of the ~eity' south of the railroad tracks will be assured of practically a complete fire department. At the present time this is not the case as all the big ladders and the pumping engines are located north of the tracks. When this change becomes effective it will be necessary to remodel No. engine house to make more room for the firemen' sleeping quarters and also for the apparatus.
 This expected change in the ar rangeent of the apparatus will leave the chemical truck at the Elm street fire station in reserve and it will be taken to the Commercial street house for a reserve apparatus until SucF time as a new south end station may be built when it will be the necleus for the apparatus there. At present { whenever the central fire company is called out either No. 4 or No. company goes there to fill in as { reserve force. This will not be neces 1 sary under the contemplated chang
