A. Orvis, who predicts that by the mid- dle of January the seige will have en- tirely spent its force, The number of new cases, Dr. Orvis reports, is less at this time than late last week, and, with the advent of more favorable weather a gradual diminution of the infection is antici- pated. No deaths have been directly at- tributed to influenza, at this time, Dr. Orvis states, nor have there been any pneumonia cases resulting from in- fluenza. The cases here, as elsewhere, have been of a much milder form than those in previous influenza epidemics, according to statistical reports. The December 7 edition of Public Health Reports, issued by the United States Public Health Service, in statistics relative to the epidemic in California, indicates this fact clearly. Fatalties Are Few In Los Angeles, from September 30 to November 24, 1928, there were 1252 influenza cases, with only thirty-three deaths. During the same period there were 160,deaths from pneumonia.

In a corresponding period in 1926 five deaths resulted from a total of forty-seven cases of influenze, and vet there were 126 deaths from pneu- monia during that time.
