The climax ci the present invasion is believed tobeat least two weeks distant. | The difference in the two death rates is not eonstrued as meaning that the present scourge is cor respondingly mild. Health Commis Boner Copeland said yesterday that he believed only one case in ten was reported to the department in 1918 because the depleted force of physi tians was too overworked to pay strict attention to this obligation. Dr. Copeland emphasized his belief ttat victims of the malady recover core quick'.y this year than in 1918 ltd are less liablra to the dreaded pi.eumonia. He said i:is opir.ion had been fortined by statistics gathered from a score of representative physi cians by experts of his department, who checked this informal data against the information gained from a study of the 19,763 cases oi influenza report? ed since January 1. Graduate N'urses Sought The shortage of graduate nurses continued to be the chief source of orry for Dr. Copeland and his aids. Tce department had 212 calls for nurses yesteiday, and was abie to sup piy 127, and of this number only about one in each six waa^a trained" nurse.

Kodman Wanamaker 2d and his five companions who taxied into Vero, sevcnty miles I north of Palm Beach, last night, after j Moating twenty-six hours in a disabled airplanc, had a terrific experience in } spite of their statements over the tele? phone last night making light of the adventure.

Despite Experuse in Washington New York Tribune Washington Hitreau '< WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.?Franklin K. ! Lane, Secretary of the Interior. has .reconsidered hia intention of resigning j at the earliest moment compatible with not adding the pur.zle of choosing his! successor to President Wilson's other ; sick-bod worries. Mr. Lane has now i decided to remain in the Cabinet in i definitely and possibly until the end of j the Administration. At any rate. it is I said by persons near to him and in j his confidence that he will not leave. the , ; Cabinet for several months. It is explained that President Wilson j as soon as he was acquainted with ; Secretary Lane's intention of resigning i in the near futfire asked Mr. Lane as ia personal favor to him to reconsider i ! and remain just as long as possible. "Possible" in this instance practically i means how long Mr. Lane can continue ! to financc a Cabinet officer's life in ? Washington on $12,000 a year. A Cabi ! not officer, especially the Secretary of j the Treasury and the Secretary of the ' Interior, may neither invest, work nor speculate "on lhe side," and if his fortune were not ample when he en? tered office it is always a question j whether he can afford to last out his term.

Represented By 20 Members; Supreme Motif of Hon-| est, Patriotic, Intelligent; E f f o r t Is Urged SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 28.?Will H. Hays. chairman of the Repubiican Na? tional Committee, announced here to? day the names of the advisory commit? tee on polieies and platform for the National Convention to he held in Chi? cago on June 8. The new committee consists of ir>9 men and women promi nent in political and educational affairs. New York State is represented by twenty members, as follows: R. J. Cald well, General George W. Goethala, Miss Mary Garrett Hay, Charles D. Hilk-s, Frank II. Hitchcock, Charles E. Uughes, James W. Johnson. Otto Kahn, William Loeb jr., Ogden L. Mills jr., George W. Perkins, Mrs. Helen Rogers Reid, Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, Elihu Root, Representative R. B. Sanford, Dr. Jacob Gould Schur? man, Dr. Alhert Shaw, Frank A. Vander lip, Horace S. Wilkinson and William R. Willcox. Colonel Herbert Parsons, na? tional committeqman from New York, was appointed a member of the plat? form committee at the time of the meeting of the National Committee. in Washington. Party Aehievomonts a Guaranty Mr. Hays, in a statement aecompany ing the antiouncement of the advisory committee personnel, said: "Party programs must always be subject to amendment and change by the responsiblo living thought ex pressed within ihe party by men and women alike. "The Repubiican party's half century of achievement is the best guaranty to the country of t.iture fulfillment, but ir. is only o.\ future fulfillment that it- usefulness will depend. The party must continue ln be the instrument to apply to new and changing conditions tiie wisdom of experience and the effi cacy of lionest, zonlous service. It is. the party of the future or there is no use for the party. "To men and women alike is oiTered the right of political sclf-determina tion. The duty of the party member ship is to say what the party's purpose shall be, what its polieies shall be coaae. ? h.e fundainentally essential right within a political party is the oppor? tunity of the membe^ship to express iC-elf. There is no hard and fast set of rules, no unalterable list of dogm.s to be presented by any arbitrary power within the party, saying 'there it is? take ii or leave it.' Instead, with the open forum of the party organization and a complete participation, it is the I roblem of the party membership to determine what tho party stands for. Supreme Motif Crged "Through it all, however, should run a supreme motif, and in the Republi can party that supreme motif is the honost, unselfish, patriotic aniC intelli gen* effort to promoto and safeguard the best interests of the Republic an! its citizens. "Pursuant to the resolution of the Repr.blican National Committee at its December meeting there is beinp: indl ?cated a special advisory committee on polieies and platform. This commit? tee consists of the twelve members of the National Committee heretofore ap? pointed and about one hundred men and wom in reprcsenting all groups in interest in the country. ' The purpose of this committee is tp> invite ihe advice and cooperation of ; the ablest men and women from all groups, sections, industry, business, i rofessions and interest in the na? tion; to gather pertinent facts and uata; to study intensively the larger '? problems confronting us, and to offer ?'aa rosult of their efforts as sugges tiona to tha resolutions committee at j the Repubiican Ntijional Convention next June for the considerat ion of that | body. Great Problems Ahead "The potentiality for usefulness to I the country and the party of such a committee is very great. The prob . pi. ? which are ahead are immeasur able in magnitude and complexity. The majority of the citizenry of the country believe that ihe Repubiican party may best be trusted with the solution. The country wants and is entitled not only to this faith in the i honesty of intention and fundamen ! tal ability of the Repubiican party, . but to a well defined statement of j purpose and party program. "it is obvious that the convention j can do fuller justice to n platform commensurate with the needs if they 1 have for tiieir consideration the re : iiable material thus furnished by some | of the best brains in the party working I for five months in the evofutton of the [ . uggosl ions. "This committe will itself be a work ng body, and will suggest the line of ioi t:ia' and investigation for a great manj others. Many of the committee viil give their entiro time to the ef l fort. Ogden L. Mills Jr. Chairman "Those thus giving a substantial amount trf time will constitutc an ex? ecutive committee, of which Ogden L. | Mills jr. will be chairman and John Callan O'Laughlin will bo secretary. The organization for the committce'a activities will bo enlarged nnd addi tiona^members" of the committee des ignatcd as the Bcope of tho work broad ens. "Underlying ther whole plan is the great fact, which tho National Com? mitte. ? rccognizcu, that there rests on the Repubiican party tho tremendous rcsponsibility of aacertaining fully the needs of tho nation and frankly. hon cstly and definitely Btating the funda mentals of tho party's plan for the Kolution of tho problems in a com prelicnsivo program of constructive mcaaures.

According to a message received here to-night from the aviators, they have been promised their freedom to-morrow. Lieutenants Davis and Grimes, who are nttaehed to the air station here. were carrying a message, duplicate of that which was senl from Fort Brown to Nogales in another plane to-day. They became confusted in a fog and followed the Solado River from Zapata into Mexico, ieistead of proceeding up the Rio Grande. Thirty miles up the Solado River ihe plane was forced to lland, and there the Mexicans took the j Americans prisoners, it is understood. i _ The onlv means of reaching the sec? tion quickly is by plane. All day aviators from the 8th Aero Squadron here have searchod both sides of the Rio Grande and far into the interior without sighting the two lost men, and to-night's message was the first, word received. The men are believed to be near Herrera, a mining town. The message was received from Guerrera, a small rnilroad town near tho border. BROWNSVILLE, Texaa, Jan. 28.?

Do you want me to tell you who he is? I don't know whether he be loiitfs to my party or yours. If he has one drop of reaetionary blood in his veins he will not have a chance of election. No old-fashioned politician will do. He must be progressive and meet the new conditions, the new prob? lems." When reporters asked Secretary Daniels who he meant ho only smiled.

The "jury." which will have no offi rial court standing, will render its "verdict" to American Legion po3ts throughout the country. Decision to send such a jury was reached by members of the Legion here to-day, when it became known that labor organizations in Scattle had de? cided to have a "jury" to hear the testimony and render a "verdict" to labor organizations. ? ? ?

Hr. -,.;,i the method to he followed would be to make a motion in the Senate to pro- , ceed to the consideration of the treaty. "I have no doubt." Mr. Hitchcock ndded, "that we could -trf a majority voto for that motion. and a majority voie is all that is required. "After that," continued *h "tho reservations could be pr a whole or indi vidually, a Lodge presented them bcCorc the disposition of th ference is to take thi Senator, 3ented as .Senator I think unofficial con l'esei'\ at ioil ? so far as we have tentat.ively agreed on them as tlie ti;isis of consideration on the Iloor of ihe Senate. "Because a number of Senators are absent from the city 1 favor giving ten days' notice ot my intention to make the motion to bring the treaty up on the floor. In the mean time we could get the number of Senators nec? essary to make the plan successful. If the reservations were agreed upon in advance it would he almost certain that a cloture rule would he adopted to curtail debate." White House Puts Out "Feeler" White House officials evidently put out a "feeler" to-day to see how the country might take a pi-oposal to have the plan of formal conciliation by a duly constituted Senate committee sub stituted for the unofficial conferences if they fail to-morrow. Such a plan was suggested by .Senator Underwood, of Alabama. a rival of .Seilator Hitch? cock for the minority leadership, sev? eral weeks ago. but has not been pressed. The Underwood resolution provides for a committee of five Ke publicans and five Democrats, to he appointed by the Vice-President to work out compromise reservations. The word was passed out al the White House this morning that Presi? dent. Wilson favored a resorl to the Underwood plan if the unofficial con? ferences fail to-morrow, but this af ternoon lhe same officials denied that the report was correct. The meaning of this move was not apparent unless :t was their purpose to see how the report sent broadcast to newspapers appealed to the country. or unless the official responsible is personally tired of Senator Hitchcock's leadership, be lieves the time has come to change, and took a "flyer" himself without consulting the President. Months ago there were persistent re ports that the President was not sali; fied with Mr. Hitchcock's management of the treaty fight, but they were set at rest when the President subse quently talked with the Nebraska Sena? tor several times. But in view of other manifestations of politieal activity on the part of ..he Administration to build up some of its fences it would not surprise many Senators if the reporl th,.; Mr, Hitch? cock is to he shelved riroved true in the end. Desnite the denial it is quite likely to cause friends of the Under? wood plan to take heart and to gi\ e. some of them courage to try to put it through. Changes in Lodge Reservations What purported to be a copy of the Lodge reservations as they had been changed in the unofficial conferences made its appearance mysteriously to? day. It showed minor changes in sev? eral of the Lodge reservations and the preamble; the reservation to Article X as it was outlined l>\ Senator Hitch? cock yesterday; entirely new reserva? tions for Nqs. 7 and 10, the latter re lating to limitation of armaments, and a substitute proposed, but not adopted, for reservation N'o. 1 1 relating to the voting power of members of the league. The proposed list appeared as follows: "Resolved (two-thirds of the Senators present concurring therein , Thal the Senate advise and 'qpnsenl to the ratification of the treaty of peace with Germany concluded at Versailles, on the 28th day of June, 1919, subject to the following reservations and understand ings, which are hereby made a part I and condition of this resolution of ratification. which ratification is not to take effect or hind the United States until the said, reservations and under? standings adopted by the Senate have been accepted as a part ar.d a condition of this resolution or ratification by the Allied and associated powers, to wrt, Great Britain, France,"taly and Japan: and the failure on the part of the Allied and associated powers ro make ; objections to such reservations and | understandings prior to the deposit of tlie ratification by the United States shall be taken as full acceptance of | such reservations and understandings j by said powers.

Action on ' bids for thirty of the former German1 Iiners seized in the United States was j deferred to-day by the Shipping Board as a result of a protest from Secretary Baker against the sale of such of these vessels as have been included by the War Department in its ar;ny transport reserve. Mr. Baker not only has protested to Chairman Payne with the request that the ^natter be presented to President Wilson, but has taken tho question up with the Senate Commerce Committee, which now is undertaking 1o formulate a permanent policy to govern the American merchant marine.

Mr Baker is confined to his home with a severe cold, and the date of the con? ference has not been fixed.

Witness for the State. Assails Socialist Party as 'Un-American' Sta pp Correapondtnct ALBANY, Jan. 28.?The close or he second week ol* tho five suspend (1 Socialist Assemblymen's trial inds counsel for the Judiciary Corn nittee still endeavoring to produce iroof of the charges brought against he defendants at the instance of Speaker Thaddeus C. Sw^-t. Their apparent. inability to pin lersonal guilt upon any of the tive ias resulted in a growing chorus of lisapproval on the part of Republi an leaders against Speaker Sweet \ iction. The prosecution nas shot its bolt. rhe "big stuff" promised for yester iay and to-day has failed to naterialize. To-day's session, lik* ,-esteriiay's, was oceupied chiefly .vith the reading of exhibits into he record. ?\nsenddy Leaders Would End Trial Men prominent in the Repubiican party, within and without tho Legis lature, have informed the Speaker that they no longer can stand 1>\ him. Leade'rs in the Assembly are spenly declaring that the trial should end within the next forty eight hours, with the discharge <>f * the Judiciary Committee and the re seating of tiie five defendants. Sweet continucs to insisfc that the trial fro on, but opposition to him is approaching open mutiny. The party leaders who are representea in the Assembly by Simon L. Adler, of Rochestor, the majority leader, have selected Colonel Theodore Roosevelt to head the fight against the Speaker. This fight will resolve itself into a motion to discharge the Judiciary Committee from further considera tion of the resolution embraeing the charges against the Socialist-. Colonel Roosevelt will roov for the discharge of the committee. In this he will he seconded by Majority Leader Adler and other prominent Repubiican" in the lower house. The present plan is to wait until Monday night to make this move. Some of His Best Friends Quit Sweet The failure to substantiate the charges advanced by Sweet has resulted in the defection of some of his clos< ' friends in the Legislature. Among these is Louis M. Martin, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, who has pr-. sided throughout the trial. The Speaker's adherents have aban doned hope of beintr ab'.e <o convict all five of the Socialists and are now pleading that. in order to save SweetV face in the affair, at least orpe of tr* men on trial be expelled from the As? sembly. "This is Sweei's affair," said orjf member of the Judiciary Committee to night. "His political ambitions ran awa with his judgn ent. There is no reason why the Repubiican members of thih committee or this House should stulti fy themselves, or?worse still?railroad innocent men." The Judiciary Committee is composed of thirteen members. Seven of these, the Speaker's irier.ds say, are likely to stand by him. Some members of the committee declare that this is untrue. "If it should happen," said one mem? ber of the Judiciary Committee to night, "that seven should sijjn a ma? jority report urging the expulsion o* one or two Socialists I am confidem that the House will not accept thV report. In such an even' not only will there be a minority report, bul I pre diet that each man not signing th< majority report will maki a repori or his own init iative." Glynn in Albany To Hold Conference* So acute has the situation beconn that George A. Glynn, chairman of the Repubiican Sta:<> Committee, came here to-day and held several conferences with legislative leaders on the Socialist trial. Rumors of the possibility that one of their number would b<- chosen a> .-. scapegoat reached the five Socialists to-day. August Claessens, leader o' the ousted Socialist minority, said: "If any one is expelled those re seated will walk out as a protest. Ir this our constituencies and citizens general!;., irrespective of party, will support." The trial to-day was almost a- filled c-: yesterday'.-. se3si.on with long-winded reading of speeches and arcicles into the record. S<p dull was the pioceeding that several Assemblymen yawncd aad di zed as attorneys for the committec i droned away. The chief. witness produced by the prosecution was Mayor George R. Lunn I of Schenectady, himself a former So 1 cialist. He told of how he left tho i party because of a so,uabble over the clause in the Socialist constitution, : which demanded that he file his resig 1 nation with the Schenectady local be fcre taking offiee. .Before Mayor Lunn came Anna Sten.,
