SPANISH INFLUENZA HERE.
Quarantine and Anticipating Cru
sade to Combat IL.

A rigid quarantine has been estab-
lished at the Port OF New York and an
anticipating crusade has been started
in an effort to prevent spread of Spanish
influenza here. DR.. Royal s. Copeland
City Health Commissioner, said last
night.
According to Dr. Copeland, twenty
Ave persons suffering from the disea se
have been landed here by a steamship
from France, but they have been isolated
and the only danger OF an epidemic Is
that health authorities at other Allan
tic ports may not be sufficiently rigid
in meeting the menace permitting suf-
ferers to travel from city to city.
The Commissioner said:
persons who actually contract Span
ish influenza should Immediately go to
bed and remain quiet. The disease will
normally run Its course in three days.
So far there Is no known cure for It,"

CENT FARE RAID
Rate Schedules Set Aside
Pending Inquiry.

There is hope for those Brooklynites
who saw visions yesterday OF paying
ten cent fare. after the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company had filed new sched-
ules Indicating how 1t was planned to
extract an extra jitney from persons who
were thoughtless enough to live In a
locality where the transportation line
was covered by two franchises.
Without hesitation the Public Service
Commission announced II had used It's
power to suspend the operation Of the
schedules for sixty days and that It in
tended to Investigate" The commits
sion was kind enough to call attention
yesterday to the provision Of the law
which gave It the right to suspend the
schedules for an additional period of
three months. in case the investigation
had not been finished at the end Of the
first sixty day period And further. this
comforting paragraph nestled in q state
ment issued from the offices OF the COM
mission:
THAT the commission has no DISPOSE
ton to act precipitately upon the COM
pany's proposal is regarded as indicated
by the fact that the Initial hearing upon
the propriety of the proposed increase
was set down by the commission for Sep
TEMPER ~ AT 1O.SU a. M.
And let us go still further with these
encouraging words. This comes from
Commissioner Kracke:
"The residents OF Brooklyn need have
no fear that ten cent fare will DO put
in force or transfers withdrawn unless
and until the company shows the urgent
and undeniable need for such action
The company's proposal Is one OF the
most sweeping and startling in the trans
portation history Of this town. Strong
proof will be required to Justify letting
any part of tho new tariffs ever become
| effective"

BRITISH PRELATES
ON WAR MISSION
Bishop Of Oxford and the Rev.
A. T. Cutlery Here to
Urge Unity.

Tho Right Rev. Charles Gore, Bishop
Of Oxford, and the Rev. Arthur T. Gut
terry of London. president Of the Primi-
tive Methodist Conference and one Of
the best known Nonconformists in Eng
land. arrived In this country yesterday
on a seven weeks speaking trip that will
take them into many States. They are
here at the invitation OF the British Min
lstry OF Information and the National
Committee on the Churches and the
Moral Aims of the War, which Is con-
Quoting a campaign Ito quicken the
spirit Of America In support OF the Pres
ident's policies In prosecuting the war
for democracy. International justice and
league OF nations"
The distinguished divines agreed that
there was no question but that the
church folks were heart and soul in this
SIGHT against Germany.
The visitors were entertained at lunch
con at Sherry's by GeofYrey Butler. head
Of the British Pictorial Division. after
which they outlined at the Yale Club
their reasons for their intense interest
In the nationwide campaign to popular
ize among church people the ideals Of
League OF Nations which they regard as
zone OF the essential aims in the war"
1--WE assert. first," the Rev Mr.. Cutlery
said. that this war was forced on the
world by German ambitions. Germany
had no warrant for war in any attitude
Of suspicion or hostility on the part OF
other nations Every one OF the Allies
has been brought In as a protest against
German invasion of world peace, so that
to us war, hateful as war Is In itself.
has become a moral duty in the interest
OF the only peace that Is consistent with
right.
This brings our conviction that the
call to military service becomes a call to
service that is consecrated to a great
cause. worthy Of the fullest and best
| that good mer can give. This explains
the seemingly strange paradox witnessed
| In England. Even before CONSUMPTION
our churches and Sunday schools gave
! their best sons to the war. feeling they
were maintaining their fidelity to the
! Prince OF Peace and that war was a sac
| rifice Of the best for the highest good.
at Is our duty to create public
opinion and spirit by virtue of which,
statesmen whose bushes 1t Is. can de-
wise means whereby humanity can be
released Of this scourge."
Mr.. Cutlery, who recently returned
from the front and saw our troops at
Chateau Thierry. said that America g
| entrance into the war makes the vic
tory "a mathematical certainty"
The Bishop Of oxford said at the
luncheon at Sherry's that literally the
greatest necessity of the moment is TO
deepen the good understanding among
the nations who are now fighting the
| dght for freedom"
| w. NJ. Massey. Prime Minister OF
New Zealand. declared his hope tina,
the war would not stop until all power
for evil is taken away permanently from
Germany. He said he would like &c
think that this was the last war. but ht
didn't. AS long as there are ambitious
and INSCRIPTIONS nations, he added, and
as long as human nature remains un'
changed, wars will play a part
