DEATH RATE IN U. S. DOUBLES AS RESULTOF "FLU" High Percent of Mortality in New England 1000 Cases a Day in Washington. WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. As a direct result of influenza and its immediate complications the average weekly death rate of a majority of the cities of the country is from two to three times as high as normally. In the New England district the increase runs as high as four to seven times the average weekly mortality rate for the last five years, figures compiled by the United States Census Bureau show. Curiously enough, New York and Chicago show a smaller percentage of increase" than any of the big cities. - The mortality figures for 50 of the leading cities of the country for the latest weekly period, as bulletined to Washington, furnish the first authentic indication of the range and death toll of the epidemic among the civilian population. They represent the rates per thousand of estimated population for the weekly period, with a comparison of the average corresponding weekly rate for the five previous years. Boston's death rate jumped from a weekly average of 14.7 to 100.2 per thousand population a 600 per cent increase. The rate in other New England cities shows almost as high a percentage of increase. Cambridge's present rate is 83.0, as compared with an average of 12.7. Lowell advanced from an average of 15.9 to 62.5 per thousand. The death rate of New Haven and other Connecticut localities has trebled since the beginning of the epidemic. The present weekly rate of Providence is also three times as great as norma) conditions. New York's latest weekly rate is computed at 16.3 for every thousand of population, compared to 11.7 the average for the past five years. Chicago's rate advanced from 12.6 to 20.8. The rate in Jersey City more than doubled, as did that of Memphis, Richmond and Nashville. Washington's and Philadelphia's rate has trebled. With new cases of influenza in

Washington now averaging more than I

1,000 a day. Federal and local authorities are making a supreme effort to check the malady. Today the government ordered 25,000 gauze masks for use of war workers whose employment particularly exposes them to Infection.

Americans Take Active Part in Cosmopolitan Scene at Archangel

ARCHANGEL, , Sept. . 30. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Archangel, In these days of allied participation in the attempt to restore Russia to her people, presents a cosmopolitan military appearance perhaps unrivalled at any port. In the streets one finds American soldiers, -and bluejackets ; a scattering representation from nearly every branch of Great Britain's forces, from the broad-hatted Anzac to the plaid breeched Highlander; French poilus in drab and gray blue with their trim visored caps or slouching Tam O' Shanters; French sailors with their red buttoned white caps; trim, snappy looking Serbians; Italian officers with their swank robin's blue capes and a variety of Russians from tall Cossacks with picturesque black sheepskin caftans and high astrakan hats to "green guards" with nothing but a gun and a grAen army band to show they are in the military. And now and then a group of khaki clad Manchus from a labor battalion go slouching down the street. It is Sloniki over again, with the Americans added, one British officer told the correspondent. The Americans, although one finds them mixing with all, seem to be always with the French. The parks are full of Yankee bluejackets and soldiers, linking arms and skylarking with Tam O' Shantered poilus. There is one cafe, dark during the PANIC CONTINUES ON FOE EXCHANGE . . (By Associated Press) ' ZURICH, Oct. 10. Measures taken by the great banks to stop a panic in the German stock exchanges had only a. temporary effect, according to the Post of Munich. Provincial capitalists took a certain time to grasp what was transpiring and then threw blocks of stock on the market. There were no purchasers for these securities and the Post says: "It is a genuine crash this time." Munition stocks such as Daimler are not quoted at Berlin, for there are no buyers.

Bolshevik regime, but now reopened and blazing with lights until the closing hour of eleven p. m., where chairs are at a premium every evening. Groups of Americans, French, British and of all the forces here stand around listening to the music, but unable to get chairs before the little tables where the food prices are sky-high. . Now and then a soldier or sailor will persuade the orchestra leader to surrender the piano to him, and the room resounds with ragtime while everybody sings. , In the cosmopolitan army here it was quite difficult, form the American troops first arrived and were put on guard, for them to know just whom to stop and challenge. The Cossacksofficers, quite fiercely military In appearance, were the embodiment of what the newly arrived Yankees believed a Bolshevik should look like.

U. S. RESPONSE

Continued From Page One. wounds no man can lightly answer with a simple denial such proposals without leaving to Germany the apparent profit of an appeal to humanity. The note is skilful, with that simple skill which seeks a straight line instead of the mediocre tricks with which commonplace diplomacy tangles its traditional threads. "By a logical process, President Wilson arrives at the condition that allied territory be evacuated, but this is not thrown at the enemy like a challenge. It cannot be answered by an attitude which will illuminate Germany's good or bad faith and which will prove to the world if sincerity inspired the proposals under examination. "Therein lies diplomatic skill. It will be noted that the danger of rupture will rest on the central powers

or. rather on . Germany, which President Wilson isolates from the other central allies as If he considered the latter as already crushed at the feet of the entente. . "If' the Germans' designs are honest we shall see it. If they wish to deceive the world still prey to that mental blemish which makes them consider other men as inferiors we shall also see it. It is for Prince Maximilian of Baden to speak." . APPROVED IN ROME . ROME, Oct. 10. "The answer of the American government to tlie proposals of the central powers is what the whole entente, in its soul looked for," says the semi-official Stefani News Agency. "The terms used in answering the German note are a clear demonstration that President Wilson is aiming at a just and lasting peace. "It now is for the central powers to show by their acts that in making a proposal for an armistice they were inspired by that good faith upon which President Wilson makes dependent the possibility of conducting negotiations to a happy issue. The Italian government is alive to its duties and is proceeding in most complete agreement with its allies. It is sure of interpreting the unanimous desire of the nation."

These are being routed out and sent back to the cages. Although many fires were, started by the Germans, the town was found not to be as badly damaged as had been feared. The solid buildings withstood the flames well. It was quite evident, however, that it was no fault of the Germans that the city had not been levelled to the ground by the many fires they had kindled. South of the city, the third and fourth armies rapidly overcame enemy opposition. The Germans started fleeing soon after the attack began, for they realized they were fighting a battle in which they could hope for no success. The front line for twenty miles began moving rapidly eastward. Then came reports from airplanes with which the sky was literally crowded that Wambaix had been taken. Soon the capture of Harcourt was reported. From then on tidings came in rapid succession of villages falling before the allied advance. Selvigny, Caullery, Ligny, Montigny and Maretz were quickly reached and passed and soon the allies were closing in on Caudry and Bertry. At the same time from the north it was reported that Escaudoeuvres, east of Cambrai, had been taken and that Inchy was being approached.
