Although reports Of influenza cases re-

day morning for the twenty-four hours
preceding revealed the highest number

year, DR.. Royal s. Copeland, Health Com
missioner. declared it the belief OF the Of
ficials of his department that on a cor
responding day in the first visitation there
was a much larger number of cases in the
city.
We base that conclusion on the fact
that there are twice the number Of ply
sicians attending influenza cases this year
than In the 1918 invasion" declared DR..
Copeland. "and that as result there are
more cases being reported each day.
In 1918 half the physicians in the city

physicians who aided in ~suppressing the
disease were so busy that we don't believe
they reported all their cases. We felt dur
ing the period Of the epidemic In 1913 that
on many days the totals should have
reached 10000 at least.
I'VE are not alarmed by the increase in
the reports for the twenty-four hours

disease Is milder in form this year. and it's
lessened virulence Is indicated by the much

Burglars Spurn

Especial Despatch to the Herald
JiEMPSTEAD, l. T., wednesd ay.-The
home of August Belmont, financier. was
one OF many that have been entered in
this section recently by burglars in search
of nothing but liquor. Gold and silver
and other solid valuables had been passed
by on upper floors unnoticed. while cellars
had been ransacked.
The invasion Of Mr.. Belmont's wine
cellar, and a successful one, too, occurred
some time last night. Mrs Thomas Tyde-
man, housekeoper, reported n strange
sound to the night watchman making his
rounds OF the neighborhood. who in turn
called in the Hampstead police. They sur
rounded the building and closed in, only
to find tracks leading away from a front
window that had been forced. The heavier
indentation in tho snow OF the outgoing
footprints and the disorder in Mr.. Bel
nants wine cellar indicated that the men
went away heavily burdened even heavily
loaded. Mr.. Belmont was commun lea ted
with and will return to his house here to-
morrow 20 make an inventory Of the miss
ing liquid valuables.

Navy Department Radio Experts Are
More Interested Than Doubtful.

WASHINGTON, d. C., Wednesday,
Interest manifestly outweighed skepticism
among radio experts at the Navy Depart
ment today in discussing Signor Marconis
suggestion that Mars may be attempting
to communicate with the earth by radio.
Proponents of the theory said they would
enjoy the advantage of having no COM
petent disputants. at least until science
in some other way accounted for the mys-
terious interruption that had been expe-
renced ever since wireless telegraphy was
perfected.
''These interruptions or influences are
entirely distinct in their registering effect
from influences readily traceable to at
mospheric or static conditions" said Cap
tain w. s. Bryant, OF the naval communi-
cation service. "They record with n feeble
or 'mushy' intensity as compared with the
clashing effect of static disturbances. I
confess that they have been n much
greater source of annoyance, however,
than OF interest.
whether or not they emanatc from
Mars as suggested by Marconi seems to
be an open question so far. II is at least
one that affords peasurable exercise for
the ina ginaton."

Professor Brnnly, Inventor of Coherer,
Doubts Messages from Mars.


PARIS Observation-Disclosures Edouard
Branly. inventor OF the coherer, which made
the practical application of wireless teleg-
raphy possible, is sceptical about wireless
messages from Mars. An expression OF his
disclosure of Signor Marconf that mysteri-
Gus signals, evidently from great dis
tance, were being received at times by the
Marconi Instruments.
'If the strange signals are caused by
solar disturbances, how can you explain
the fact that they correspond to letters of
the Morse alphabet inquired Professor
Branly. 'If they are messages from plan
ets.. assuming that planets are habitable,
it must follow that the species peopling
them has reached degree of civilization
comparable with ours, that these people
possess the gift of speech and that the
progress of their science has resulted in
the construction Of an apparatus in some
way akin to ours. 1t would be series OF
improbable condolences. Solar disturb
ances might cause strokes at more or less
long intervals, but no letters"
General F'errie. Chief of the French
army wireless service. in statement
in the Petit Parsien says
II can assure you that nothing abnormal
has been received at Eiffel Tower. We
constantly have disturbances of the Pa
rlSlslD dS lftN dIt tdlltd,
impede communication. They are at
tributable to atmospheric disturbance or
the sun. whose powerful magnetic field
has a formidable influence on our planet"
Asked If 1t would be possible to send a
wireless message TO Mars. General Ferrie
replied ALTHOUGH the wireless is highly
perfected on earth, II would be impossible
to accomplish this prodigy. for the waves
would have great difficulty in travelling
the upper strata of the air. which are
made non-conductors by the sun. Certain
exJ Jerts maintain that the waves not only
cannot cross in daytime but are even re-
fected back to the earth.
"One cannot deny offhand to the Mar
tians', IL such exist, ability to do what we
cannot attempt. In any case, TO be sure
that there is such emission all posts on
the globe ought to receive waves of the
same length at the same hour.
"You may be sure, when that is demon
strated to us, we will get to work immedi-
ately to elucidate so absorbing a ques-
ton."
