DIPLOMAT BETS
ON A SHORT WAR
Embassy Official Wagers Large
Sum Conflict Will End With
in Three Months.

London. Oct. =. Belief that the war
will be far shorter than the present
situation indicates is gradually gaining
ground in diplomatic circles here. The
secretary Of the embassy Of one OF the
involved powers has made large
wager that the war will he over within
three months and he is known as n
careful bcttor. not anxious 10 lose
money.
An optimistic feeling seems 10 be re-
Elected in the American Embassy,
though nobody there will make prophe-
sizes about the conflicts duration. II is
understood that this cheerful change
from the deepest pesSir6i SIN is inspired
by information from Petrograd and
Vienna concerning thc Russian pro-
gramme in Austria Hungary.
Through diplomatic channels word
has reached London that the Russian
invasion of Hungary means moving on
Vienna from the south. and there iS
little indication that resistance by the
Hungarians will be very bitter. as al
ready there arc signs that Hungarian
lra alers are seeking an understanding
With Russia about the future.
Once in Vienna. the Russians pre-
expected 10 have little trouble IN COZ -
ing 10 terms with Austria. for the Aus
trians already have complained about
the lack of German support, ani n
Russia treats them fairly they will
probably decide 80 diplomats here be-
heve that the game Of encouraging z
the Kaiser's world empire schemes is
not worth the candle. In that case
Austria and Hungary would be con-
sidered as separate nations. which ceI .
tainly would appeal TO Hungarians.
Austrias armies are so badly shat-
tered that further resistance is doubt
ful. in any case if Vienna falls. The
capitulation Of Austria would mean a
complete investment of the German
Empire. and even the Kaiser could not
hope TO hold the foe at bay long on
such huge fronts.

HEALTHY PERSONS

Discovery Breaks Ground in an
Entirely New Field of
Medicine.

Baltimore, Oct. 8. DR.. Simon Flex-
ner, of the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research. announced here 10.
day that ne had made further ina
portaEt discoveries relative to infan-
tile paralysis and had isolated the geri
of the disease. The announcement
was made n the silver Jubilee celebra-
tiou at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Dr.. FleXner said that he had def
nitely succeeded in transmitting the
disease to monkeys with the micro-o"-
ganism which ne had previously saiG
he thought was the cause Of the dis
case.
The fact that he had al last sue
cecded in transmitting the disease bv
means Of this micro-o organism. whlcn
he had cultivated, proved, he sald. be
yond doubt that he had isolated the
germ.
DR.. FleXner also said that he had
found il possible 20 see the cell clearly
under a microscone OF high power.
Formerly il had been considered I'M
possible to see the organism ~ TINS
manner. and it had passed through
filters which held bacteria of ordinary
size. Ii is a. least five times Smallef
than any other known bactorlas. said
DR.. FleXner.
The docior said that he believed
that the disease was transmitted
through TIE respiratory channels
rather thar by insects. as some have
held. and he advanced the theory tnat
uprfecily healthy persons often car
rieG the germ ID their bodies and IN
rected children: that there were car
riers" Of irfantile paralysis, just as II
is known that there are carriers OF

that il broke ground in an entirely new
