Lansing State Journal from Lansing, Michigan • Page 14

THE STATE JOURNAL OCTOBER 31, 1918 14 THURSDAY He was a member of Lansing lodge No. 33. F. A. M.

and was well known in this city. y' TO EXAMINE EATON 11 LIEUT. FERLE, WITH 85TH PROMOTED THE STATE JOURNAL MARKETS i The Day's Dealings In Wall Street .1 1 Mayor J. W. Ferle has just received word from his son.

Lieut. Allan TV. Ferle, that he has been promoted from second to first lieutenant in the field artillery of the S5th division with which he went to France last July. The letter was dated Oct. 15, and stated that he had been appointed regimental gas officer a month, previous and had been assigned to one of the big military schools near Paris.

llieut- Ferle was at the front when he received notice of his appointment and had to cross northern France to reach the military school. He received his first officer's training at Ft. Sheridan, was later stationed at Camp Custer, and went from there to the battlefield of France. The lieutenant says it is much easier to receive promotions in the states than when engaged in active service in the field. John B.

Sanborn Dies John B. Sanborn, formerly of this city, died in Detroit Wednesday morning at 11:30 of Spanish influenza and pneumonia. The body was brought here today. Funeral arrangements have not yet been made. Mr.

Sanborn lived at 420 South Pine leaving Lansing a year ago. president Germany assume that they have already agreed upon are so general and vague that such a peace would be no treaty at all but only a protocol to an interminable discussion. The president is without final power to bind the United States to those 14 points, although his language does not suggest it. Democratic House Subservient. "Nor can the attitude of the house of representatives be ignored in this peace.

Every affirmative obligation binding the United States in that treaty must be performed by the house as part of the congress. The present Democratic majority in the house has been subservient to the will of the president in every respect except when critical issues in the conduct of the war have been involved. The president has not hesitated publicly to discipline those of his party who have disagreed with him and the lesson has had its effect, "Third, the Republicans voted without objection billions to be expended by this administration. Six hundred and forty millions for aviators were given to the executive to build airplanes without a single limitation as to the manner or method of its expenditure. A senate commute has deplored the waste and failure in the use of that money.

The debts which have been created by this war, the people will be paying to the third and fourth generation. They have a right to know how these enormous sums have been expended. Only a Republican congress will have the courage to exact a detailed and accurate story of that stewardship. "Fourth, the work of reconstruction must not be done by one man or finally formulated according to his academic theories and ideals. The president was not elected when such issues were before the peoplo.

His mandate of power was not given in the light of the momentous questions which will soon force themselves for solution. He was elected as a peace president and because he had "kept us out of war' the American people should therefore place in the branch of the government charged constitutionally with adopting problems of reconstruction, a congress which will not register the will of one man but fresh from the people, will enact the will of the people. "We urge all Americans, who are Americans first, to vote for a Republican congress." 1 Classification Cards to Be Mailed, 223 Now Placed in Class 1. Special to the State Journal. CHARLOTTE, Oct.

NEW AND USED BAGS For farmers' use at bargain prices. ISBELL-BROWN CO. HOSMER AND ST. JOSEPH STS. OF "FLU" Dr.

Wright to Take Drastic Action Against Those Working Against Measure. Children, and grownups as well, have been in many Instances violating the state and school closing orders, according to Dr. Wright, city health director, and the health department, with the assistance of the police force will begin at once to enforce the order in individual cases throughout the city. He made it plain Thursday morning that all violations would be followed up until the closing orders were rescinded. 'I notice In the social columns of the press and receive information from other cources.

including my own personal investigation that children under 16 years of age are roaming the streets, congregating in parlies and crowds, all of which plainly violates health orders," said Dr. Wright. "Wednesday night children's hallowe'en parties were going up and down the streets, and 1 understand hallowe'en parties of different kinds are planned for Thursday evening. Police officers will watch all such places and if any attempts are made to hold such gatherings they will be unceremoniously broken up. Dnislie Action Promised.

"Now that we seem to have this influenza epidemic under control to some extent by virtue of the closing orders we do not propose to allow what has been done in the interests of public health to be frustrated or endangered by those who persist in disregarding the closing orders. It makes no difference what kind of a gathering it may be when it breaks the state or the local school closing order affecting children it cannot be countenanced and drastic action will have to follow. "Children under 16 are not permitted off their own premises except in company with their parents or in cases where they carry a note stating just what their business on the street is and that it is of urgent importance. No meeting of any kind is to be held in any club room or other place where more than 10 people are congregated. It is the crowd we must avoid.

These regulations have been made plain to the public time and again and it hardly seems necessary to repeat them again." Dr. Wright emphasizes the importance of observing the closing regulations until the ban lifted, iting many other places where they opened too soon and the heavy death rate following compelled them to again close public places and face the most serious kind of a situation as a result of that mistake. It proves conclusively that "safety first" and "sit tight," which are the slogans of the city health director, will bring results and permanent relief from the closing orders sooner than any other policy. He declared he is opposed to any gambling with human life. Five New Cases.

Only five new cases were reported Thursday until noon, making the total Five deaths were reported Thursday morning, making the total latalitics from the epidemic 33. The case rate is much lower than for any other day since a genera! outbreak of the influenza, and has been gradually decreasing this week. The death rate is about the same as for the past two or three days, and less than the reports for some days the past week.

I' decreased steadily during the last hours, r.ntl by the end of the week the medical officers expect that the infirmaries and hospitu's will be practically without patients. A few boys are still ill with pneumonia. Hope is held out for the recovery of all. A serious situation has developed in Kiver Uogue, where 272 new cases were reported to the state board of health. This swelled the total up to noon in the offices of the state board of health to 723 new-cases.

Twenty deaths were reported. Church people are still asking and demanding that the ban be modified to permit services next Sunday. They are being refused and tedd no date has been fixed for removing the ban. ANN AROR, Oct. 31.

"Kourth. the change from war conditions to peace must be brought about with the least disturbance and the work of ce-construction must be broadly begun. "A Republican congress will be much better qualified than one controlled by Democrats, to aid the country in adopting the measures needed for these four great tasks. Republicans Passed Draft Kill. "First, even as a minority party the Republicans made the winning of the war possible by passing the original draft bill.

Without this we could not have trained and landed the two millions of men now in France. As a minority party the Republicans forced upon a reluctant president and secretary of state, after an injurious delay of four months the amended draft act, without which we could not put two million at the front next July. The speaker, the leader, and the chairman of the military committee of the Democratic house opposed the original draft with all the vigor possible. It was saved, and so our country's cause was saved by the Republican minority. "Second, the new senate must approve, by two-thirds vote the terms of peace.

Those terms should be settled not by one man only. It is one man control we are fighting in this war to suppress. If the peace treaty-is to guard the future, it must be approved by the great body of the American people. The president has indicated a willingness to make a peace by negotiation. He has not demanded as he might have done in three lines, that which the American people demand, an unconditional surrender.
