BRITISH MORE SERIOUS
As They Are Brought Face to Face with
Wars Hardships.

London, Aug. Pa day of waiting
has brought home the realities of war
to the British people. Never before has
the whole nation been so deeply moved.
Englshmen know that most of the
best regiments of their army are fighting
a battle on which the future of the en-
pire may greatly depend. Many thous-
ands have relatives and friends in the
army; they know that the casualties
must be great. that the death roll will
probably be heavier than in the case OF
any British force since the Crimean war
While not many reproaehes come from
the supporters of Lord Roberts crusade
for compulsory military service, not a
few admit that they never realized how
small part the British army counted
in great European struggle.
Thus far, England has felt the war
far less than any European nation en-
gagged, probably less than Holland and
Switzerland, but now, waiting for the
issue OF the battle and for the lists Of
killed and wounded the English people
understand all that it means.
Every boat from Belgium comes crowd
ed with impoverished refugees, who have
fed before the German invasion. An
Is being formed TO care for
these people and part of the prince Of
Wales relief fund which amounts 90
more than 81 10000, will be sent %
Antwerp for sufferers who have taken
refuge there Thousands of Belgians
have crossed the French border for ssy-
lum and 4 committee will arrange for
their relief.
England and France apparently pro (
pose 20 care for their smaller ally, who F.
thus far has borne the hruut Of the hard 1
ships which the var entails.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS WARNING
State Board Of Health Sends Out
Statement.

DR. G. r. Dalton, as secretary of the
state board OF health, is sending ont let
tiers to the physicians of the state urg-
ing them to aid in complete quarantine
of infantile paralysis cases. There have
been a number OF cases Of this disease
reported from various parts of the state
and the board of health feels that some
thing ought to be done to check the
spread of it.
The cases and deaths reported TO date
are four cases and one death in Burling-
ton, thirteen cases and three deaths in
Barton. two eases in Monkton, two in
Coventry, four cases and two deaths in
Middlesex, one case in Cambridge, one
in st. Albans, one in White River juno
tion and one in Wnooski.
Although infantile paralysis is known
TO be a germ disease and is known to
spread by contagion, it is not known
Just how the contagion is carried from
one system into another The horse fly
was supposed to have carried it, But
that theory seems TO lack confirmation
and the other explanations are equally
The mystery about the
OF the disease makes COM
plete quarantine the more necessary.
The disease, which il one of the most
terrible usually attacks only children,
although one Of the cases mentioned
bove was a girl of eighteen. The child
attacked by infantile paralysis, or acute
interior poliomyclitis, as the physicians
.erm it. may be playing happily one
lay, taken sick that evening and the /
lext day may be paralyzed for life in
whole or in part.

gance made by M. Alexander, demo-
cratic candidate for governor.
Senator Brady was Introduced by
Mr.. Randall and opened his remarks
with a discussion of the national is
sues. He charged the national demo-
cratic administration with misman-
agement. He said the bill recently
introduced to increase the internal
revenue alleged to be necessary be-
cause of European war conditions was
ilf fact necessary because of the de-
ficit staring the democratic party in
the face months before the European
was was thought of.

PETROGRAD, Oct. 1.-THE Ger
mans in Russian Poland are hard
pressed and are in full retreat, the war
office declared today. Their battle
with the Russians in the vicinity of
Warsaw is described as having ragged
desperately for II days with huge Ger
man losses. The kaisers commander
was undoubtedly honest in reporting
to Berlin that he had won, the truth
being that the Russians had retreated
from their positions to deceive the
enemy, and advancing to follow up
supposed advantage fell into a trap
and were completely shattered by the
Cars artillery. This is said to have
been a decisive battle, the Germans
fleeing and abandoning a number OF
guns and quantities of ammunition.
