Gornpors, president of th" Amer
ican Federation of Labor, placet!
the entire blame for (he Post on
police .strike on Police Commis
sioner Kdwin Curtis in a state
ment issued here tonight.
1 Poston Sept. If.- Police Com
missioner Curtis .shut trie doors
of the police department in the
face of the .striking policemen
today. He announced that he
would not reinstate the mm who
had abandoned (heir posts. At
evening roll call he made it
known that 1!) officers and mem
bers of the union whom he had
.suspended had been finally dis
charged and that he would pro
ceed at once to build up a new
force.
The commissioner's action fol
. lowed the strikers' acceptance of
the .suggestion of President
fjompers, of the American Fed
oration of I.alor that they re
turn to work without demanding
immediate union recognition but
without relinquishing any of
their claims. It found support
in an opinion of Attorney Gener
al Prucc Wyman and a state
ment by Governor Coolidge. The
attorney general held that the
police officers, have deserted
their posts, had made their
places v.icant and that the com
missioner could (ill them.
Governor Coolidge, at a con
ference with President John F.
Mclnms, of the policemen's
union, and other laW leaders,
said he would le guidid by the
opinion of the attorney general.
To President Gompcrs he sent a
telegram saying that he stood
Indiind the Commissioner's de
claration that the men had va
cated their places.
The jxilice commissioner re
fused to me.-t the InW leaders
in a joint conference requited
by them, but subsequently ;ent
Wold through Henry F. 1mg,
secretary to the governor,' that
he would talk with them "in my
own Ix'half" on Monday. This
phrase was interpreted to mean
that he wished to remove any of
licial status from the intrjview.
Py jvermission of (lie civil ser
vice commissioners Tuuked by
an opinion of the attorney gen
ii a!. the commissioner uj'.l re
cruit LU new force, without civil
service requirements from vt
emn of the army or navy who
are resident of thU state. The
commission published the pro
nation lo lieutenancies of four
sergeant who have levn active
in trr
thi
volunteer
Inell.
The new forces probably will
be U'tter paid than the old. The
commissioner said he htd sub

Washington, Sept. l:?. "Will
the 'ilu come back this year?'"
This question being asked by
thousands-of scientists and mil
lions of laymen throughout the
world is discussed by Surgeon
Pluc of the public health service
in an official bulletin in which it
is said the plague probably will
re-appear but not as severe a?
last winter.
"Probably, but by no means
certain, there will be a recur
rence of the influenza epidemic
this year, says General Blue.
"Indications are, that should
it occur, it will not be as severe
as the pandemic of the previous
winter. City officials, state and
city hoard. of health should be
prepared in the event of a re
currence. The fact that a pre
vious attack brings immunity in
a certain percentage of cases
should allay fear on the part of
those atnicted in the previous
epidemic.
No Positive Preventive.'
"Influenza is spread by direct
and indirect contact.
"It is not yet certain that the
germ has bv.cn isolated, or dis
covered, as a consequence there
is yet no positive preventive, ex
cept the enforcement of rigid
rules of sanitation and the
the avoidance of personal con
tact. A close relation between
the influenza pandemic and the
constantly increasing pneumon
ia mortally rate prior to the
fall of P.IFJ is recognized. It is
now believed that the disease
was pretty widely di son nr. ted
throughout the country before
it w as recognized in its epidemic
state.- This failure to recognize
the early cai-es appears to have
largely been due to the fact that
every interest was then centered
on the war.
"Not one of the many experts
of the service would make a
ir.cv positive forecast. All agree
however, that a recurrence was
not unlikely, and in tin? face of
the known fact that it would lw
wise to Ik prepared.
"Contrary to the opinion ex
pressed frequently during the
early weeks of hist year's pan
demic by a mimlier of observers,
the studies of the public health
soivire indicate. that the epi
demic was not a fresh importa
tion fnm abroad. Careful study
of Die mortality statistic of the
United States show that there
were a tiumlK-r of extensive
though mild fore-runners during
the previous three or four year.

OXK-AI-TERNOON OFF
Washington, Sept. Pi. With
his headquarters as chief of the
American expeditionary forces
reestablished in Washington af
ter more than two years in
France, General Pershing
promptly joined in the Saturday
half-holiday today and went to a
track meet and a baseball game.
He and his immediate statr spent
hours in the open air under per
fect weather conditions, in sharp
contrast to the rush and hustle
of their hours in New York and
Philadelphia.
Tonight the general completed
the celebration of this dual event
for him, his return and his lifty
ninth birthday, at a quiet family
dinner at the home of his father-in-law.
Senator Warren, of
Wyoming. s
The only official events of
f'i'nerl Peiihing's first full flay
b.ik in th city whih piHbly
is to be hereafter virtually his
permanent home as ranking offi
cer of the army, were his brief
conference with Secretary Pakei
and his inspection of the offices
up. lie was ragtiiy hai
throughout the day, whenever
he wa mogni,ed on the streets
or elsewhere, but the i:art tu
multuous greeting given was al
the war department, wheie
cleiks fairly mobbed him, cling
ing lo hi sleeves, thrusting
eager hands to greet him. The

manfully, but smiiiuigly, and

timated as reaching into million?

Frantic efforts to check the
flames during the afternoon fail

gan to be felt for the Piatt works
of the Standard Oil company on
the opposite bank of the Newton
creek, on which the Stone and
Fleming plant is located. Lum
ber yards in the Vicinity and
plants in which huge quantities
of alcohol and naphtha are stor

Although no one was reported
killed tip to a late hour tonight,
more than a score of person.
were burned or otherwise injur
ed. Several persons were tramp-
ad under foot when a black
draught, sweeping the flames
hundreds of feet into the air,
caused a crowd of many thous

shore (if the creek, to lice foi
safety.
As the flames spread from
