AMERICAN POLITICS
CAUSING COMMENT
Paris Newspapers Devote Much
Space to Discussion Of Both
Candidates.

Paris, Oct. 30-Never before in the
history of American politics has the
French nation taken so deep an in
terest in an American election, nor
has the French press given it so much
publicity. During the last few weeks
the newspapers have discussed at
length the chances of both candidates
and the effect the result of the elec-
tion will have upon future Franco
American relations. AS election day
draws near, most of the newspapers
carry columns of comment as well as
a large amount of cabled matter.
They publish photographs of Senator
Harding on his front porch and Gov
ernor Cox speaking from the rear
platform of his train.
The Figaro today devotes a column
to an article on the probable effect
of the women's vote upon the elec-
ton. The Echo De Paris prints a long
cable dispatch from its Washington
correspondent, giving Senator Hard
ing's comment on the recent inter-
view given by Leon Bourgeois, presi-
dent of the counsil of the League of
Nations on Article x of the League
covenant.
All the newspapers refer to Presi-
dent Wilson's speech of yesterday,
rone of them adopting partisan at
titude but expressing regret at the
Presidents physical breakdown and
satisfaction that he retains all his
mental faculties.

faith, when he met the first good
woman in his life, since he left his
mothers knee; and in the person OF
a sheriff who had set out to track him
down, found that good is present in
the most unexpected places.

ing career will be seen on the screen

urday when "The Toll Gate," VIM. S.

Hillyer and photographed by Joe
August, A. S. c., this picture is one
of he most powerful dramas of life in
be frontier lands that has ever been
filmed. Mr.. Hart is at his best, riding
shooting, wrestling with the devil of
revenge, ad finally coming to realize
that the world is not all bad, after all.
The Pinto pony reappears in this
picture, which is an added source of
interest. Admission 15c and 35c.

GREAT THRONG GREETS
THE DAMROSCH PLAYERS
Tschaikowsky's Symphony, "Pa-

Central High.

1t was capacity audience that
greeted Walter Damrosch and his
PLAYERS of the New York symphony
Society last night at the Centrai 1igh
School for the fourth concert or the
series arranged by the Washington
Society of the Fine Arts. 1t was an
eagerly responsive audience as well,
while Mr.. Damrosch outlined in con-
else and untechnical terms the gen.
eral significance of the symphony,
Tschaikowsky's "Pathetique," and il
Illustrated the main themes at the
piano. The interest could not put
be enhanced by the knowledge that
the conductor and guide for the even
ing had talked face to face with
Tschaikowsky about this very sym
phony and that to him had been
consigned the first copy of the score
to reach this country. together with
the honor of leading its first Amer,
can production. The mood was Well
established for the particularly ora
matte performance OF the Worh Which
followed.
The remaining numbers on the pro-
gram were eXcellently contrasted.
The wedding music from 'Iohengrin,
in the prelude to act 3. alternately
brilliant and appealing, was followed
by the solemn beauty OF the pre!ude
to the third act of THE Mastersing-
ers." The conclusion was reached in
two excerpts from Berlioz's Romeo
and Juliet" the queen Nab" scherzo
and the festive and romantic Feast
at the House Of Capulet." Mr. Dam
rosch helped to add to the enjoy
ment of these numbers by pointing
out the illusion of the musical score
to Shakespeares text.

149 NEW INFLUENZA
CASES REPORTED IN D. c.
Health Officer Fowler Takes Pre-
caution in Schools-Believes
Situation Not Serious.

Physicians today reported 149 new
cases of influenza, bringing the total
for the month up to 442.
Although comparatively few of the
patients reported thus far have been
children, Health Officer Fowler today
directed the medical inspectors in the
public schools to keep close watch
for children suffering from colds, and
to send them home when the inspect
orS deem it wise.
DR.. Fowler was still of the opinion
today that the situation has not be-
come serious in Washington. and that
nothing will be closed down as a
preventive measure unless the num-
Der of cases increase more rapidly
than at present.
Yesterday eighty-seven cases were
reported, or thirteen less than the
number reported this morning. The
health officer said that once the dis
ease gets started slight daily in
crease is to be expected.
The fact that only three deaths from
influenza have been reported since the
number of cases began to increase
last week strengthens DR.. Fowler's s
belief that a majority OF those now
sick have mild cases.
Dr. Fowler pointed out that the
stormy weather Washington is hav-
ing causes people to contract colds
easily. thus making them more SuS-
ceptible to influenza.
The fact that the death rate from
pneumonia so far this month is lower
than it was during January of 1919
or 1918 was offered by the health de-
nortment today as further evidence
that the influenza situation now is
not alarming.
In January, 1918, there were 149
deaths from pneumonia; January,
1919, 125 deaths. and so far this Janu-
ary, Sc. If the rate of pneumonia
deaths does not increase during the
next ten days the number of deaths
this January will be only about 100.
This Is regarded as an encouraging
sign. 1t was pointed out in the health
department that the pneumonia
death rate furnishes a fair indication
of the seriousness of the influenza
cases, because many deaths charged
up to influenza result from compli-
cation of pneumonia.
The pneumonia figures back up DR..
Fowlers belief that the influenza
cases this year are much milder than
they were during the epidemic of
fourteen months ago.
To prevent possible spreading of
Influenza by unclean glasses, DR..
Fowler today instructed Chief Food
Inspector r. r. Ashworth to make
every effort to see that all eating
and drinking establishments comply
Evening star., 1920-01-20

with the regulation which requires
tie sterilization of glasses every time
they are used.
Before there were any indications
OF a return Of influenza DR.. Ashworth
last week had his men touring soit
drink establishments to find OUT IL
they were living up to the sterillza-
ton law.
Eight more women at the govern
ment dormitories on Union station
plaza were reported suffering from
the disease, making n total OF n1ty-
six cases there Nearly all OF the
