NURSING STAFF
At FLU HOSPITAL
STRONGER TO-DAY
AS a Result, Number of Adj
dltional Patients viii
Be Taken

There are 81 new influenza cases
reported today with four deaths and
no pneumonia. This report includes
cases from every doctor In the city
but one Emergency headquarters re-
port that yesterday the number OF
cases in the city which came to its
notice was greater than for several
days. There were so many calls that
number Of patients were turned
away from the hospital because OF an
insufficient number of nurses. To-
day, however, there arrived num-
Der Of thoroughly capable graduate
nurses and there also arrived from
Baltimore trained man nurse who
has been engaged by the Emergency
Influenza committee to meet the need
at the hospital. Mr.. Kline learned OF
the appeal for graduate nurses here
and offered his services. He was i'm
mediately engaged. Today brighter
prospects for an adequate nursing
force has encouraged those In charge
at the Emergency hospital and num-
Der Of extra patients have been taken
on the strength OF this better force.
There are a number OF girls i'll at
the various hotels with the 'du" and
volunteer workers about the city are
endeavoring to visit them daily to do
is necessary. More volunteer work
ers to go to homes throughout the city
and stay during the night are wanted
Often It has been necessary to leave
very sick patients without help during
the.ntght for lack Of this sort OF help
Those who are doing the work at pres
emit. are working many hours at
stretch without rest. There are plen-
ty Of volunteers at the Emergency
hospital today.
The automobile supply which the
Emergency committee depend on each
day was almost entirely lacking this
morning. There was not u driver at
eleven O'Clock. Fortunate there are
number OF young ladies' who know
how to drive cars so t1e immediate
situation was met most satisfactorily
There is. however. a demand for more
autos to take the place OF those which
have. been constantly on hand since
the epidemic began. Those having
cars which they can loan for few
hours when needed, may call the Auto
committee in the entrance to the ia
cobs building.

PARIS. Nov. 5-A battle which is
believed here to be decisive is now
going on. It is being waged in two
sections in the north. The blow deliv-
cred by the British armies of General
Horne, Byng and Rawlinscn and by
the French under General Debeney
is threat leveled at one of the tanks
OF the vast pocket formed by the
German line from Holland to Metz.
The object OF this offensive is to
drive dangerous wedge either north

Mons. or South Of the river In the
direction OF Adesnes and NIaubeuge.
The result may be q complete retreat
OF the German armies in belgium or
those between the Disc and the Aisnes.
Excellent results have been realiz-
