Physicians Uncertain As to
Exact Number of Influ
enza Patients.
FEEDS MANY SICK
Home Economics Depart
ment Cooks Meals for
Rooming Houses.
Today saw little change in the in
fluenza situation at the University
and in the city. No physician or of
ficial is keeping a record of the num
ber of new cases and for that reason
it is impossible to give the number of
new cases or the total number in the
city.
Dean Guy L. Noyes said this morn
ing that the situation was practically
unchanged. Parker Memorial Hospi
tal remains crowded. Just as soon as
one patient is released another, who
is In a serious condition, is received.
Ten new cases among students in
town were reported this morning.
(There are forty cases in the hospital
and jot these fifteen have pneumonia.
Thus far, although there are no hos
pital facilities for the majority of the
cases, all patients in homes hae re
ceived proper care. The citizens have
not jet taken any steps toward get
ting another hospital for the reason
that it is impossible to get nurses or
equipment.
ulome Economics Students Help.
The home economics department of
the University is helping proiide food
for students who have the influenza.
Yesterday Miss Louise Stanley direct
ed the girls to call up each student
patient to find out their food supply.
Each new case reported at the Parker!
Hospital is telephoned to the Home
Economics Building along with advice
as to the condition of the Individual
student. The rest is left to the de
partment. In cases where the student is at his
rooming house with no one In partic
ular to look after his needs the de
partment takes charge. Most of the
lunches sent out consist' of custards
and soups, but in many cases they In
clude a complete meal for the con
valescent. The diets are being fur
nished the student patients without
cost. There were thirty students re
ceiving food from the department to--day.

Noyes the following committee of fac

Last year during the influenza epi
demic, there were Just as many calls
but only two girls were out during
the entire time.
Miss Potts made the following
statement this afternoon: "The co
operation of the public in keeping
the number of calls down to a min
imum would be a great help. A
great many foolish calls could be
done away with entirely. The first
service is given to the hospital and
doctors now, and we will make ev
ery effort to keep that up to the
standard. I have never found it
necessary to make an appeal to the
public before, but I am sure they will
be patient until this crisis is over."

PARIS IS SHORT OF POLICE
Depleted Force Is Unable to Cope
With Increased Crime.
By United Press.
PARIS, Jan. 28. Paris is suffering
from a new crisis, a crisis of police
men, whose insufficient number in
the day as well as in the night time
makes people doubt whether it is safe
to he in Paris. The city which is
now more Jammed during the day
than ever before, is more deserted
over night than during an airplane
bombardment in war time.
People who have to be out for their
business between midnight and "5
o'clock in the morning, can walk for
miles without meeting a single police
man. Policemen are very hard to recruit
in France. In Paris, owing to the
yfit, the effectives of the police force
were diminished and It has not been
possible to replace those who did not
return. Further before the war, four
or five hundred new policemen were
sufficient every year.

TBEATK CONFERENCE

Had Tentative Understand
ing On Article X and
Four Others.
RESUMES TOMORROW
Friends Urge Open Fight
in senate As the Only
Way Out.
By L. C. MARTIN
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-C!xact in
formation concerning the status of
the bipartisan conferences, obtained
today, showed that when the secret
conferences were interrupted by the
irreconciiabies and Lodges ultima
tum, an agreement had been reached
on seven "points and tentaUve agree
ments had been reached on five oth
ers. The conferences will be resumed to
morrow. Those reservations on
which the bipartisan conference had
agreed are: the preamble: reserva
tion three, relating to the refusal of
the United States to accept a manda
tory except with the consent of Con
gress; reservation four, relating to
domestic questions; reservation eight,
relating to the powers of the
reparation commission; resarvation
ten, relating to the limitation of arma
ments; reservation eleven, relating to
the treatment of covenant-breaking
states and reservation twelve, relat
ing to the rights of American: citizens.
Agreed On Article X.
Tentative agreement had been
reached on reservation two, relating
to Article X; on reservation one, re
lating to withdrawal of the United
States from the League; reservation
five.irelating to the Monroe Doctrine;
reservation nine, relating to payment
of the American share of the League
expenditures and reservation four
teen, relating to the inequality of vot
ing power.
These agreements and party under
standings coverted twelve of the fif
teen disputed points in Lodge's reser
vations. Another day of Jockeying for posi
tion was In progress today while sen
ators who earnestly desire ratifica
tion urged no more time be wasted in
reconciling parties, and that the treaty
be brought into open fight in the Sen
ate. Friends" of" the treaty say this
offers the only way out.
Sentiment Is for Treaty.
These say that the bipartisan con
ferences are so filled with political
controversy that there can be no hope
oi agreement in such method. The
situation now, they believe, differs
greatly from that of the last session
when the .Senate failed to ratify the
treaty. d
The country is demanding action,
they say, and the demands will in
crease when the treaty is called into
open debate.
No Agreement Thursday.
Senator Hitchcock said today his
next move must await the Thursday
session of the bipartisan conference.
Neither Hitchcock, nor any other
member of the conference expects the
Thursday session to reach an agree
ment, however.
In addition to the general contro;
versies over the reservations, today,
there was dispute on whether the con
ferees had virtually agreed on the
compromise on Article X when the
conferences were called off. Senator
Hitchcock said they had, but four Re
publicans said nobody had agreed on
it, not even Hitchcock.
