FIGHTING IN FLANDERS AND FRANCE SHOWS LITTLE AD-
 VANTAGE TO EITHER SIDE.

London.-The fighting in Flanders and in France has been repetition of that which has been going on for days past. The Germans have con tinued to push their attacks, whicl aimed at placing them in possession of the French coast ports, but, as be- fore, it has been a ding-dong affair first one side making progress only to lose the ground gained the next night or day.
 From the point of view of the al lies their position is satisfactory, as the Germans are no nearer their goal than week ago. There have been tremendous losses which, for once, cannot be exaggerated. While the cap ture of few prisoners and guns from one side or the other is a matter of daily occurrence, fighting has become more severe along the river Aisne in the Argonne forest and along the river Mouse between Nerdun and Foul, but so far without making any appreciable change Tn the fronts of the two armies. 4
 As showing the huge German losses in the Ypres region, it is stated that the British soldiers have buried more than 25.O00 termans," says 2 message to the Weekly Dispatch from it's correspondent in Belgium. The telegram continues
 There are many great piles of Ge~- man bodies around Dixmude which It has been impossible to bury on ac count of the continuous fighting"

 This statement is made in the Ob- server in a dispatch dated Carte. France. Belgian frontier" The mes, sage continues:
 The Germans are abandoning their wounded. suns and transports Unless their fleet comes out to create diversion they will be driven from the Belgian coast within a week"
 A dispatch to the Exchange Telc. graph Company from Paris says:
 Tt is officially announced that con trary to the German statement that the town of Verdun had been destroy ed, the fact is t has never beer struck by single ehell. Fort Douau mont only was bombarded for o4 hours at long range, and without any appreciable damage having been done it. The French army still ba-s the road to Verdun.

JUST SERVANTS
Wives Not Wanted in Australia, AC
lOrtliNg to RepOrt.

cOrtling to Report.
London. Feb. 2S.-The long cher
ished theory that the worlds surplus
feminine population could be married
off il it could be persuaded to migrate
to the Antipodes is not borne out in
report Of the dominion's royal COM
mission upon the demand for women
in Australia. Women are wanted badly
in the great island continent. but not
so much for marriage as for domestic
servants
So great is the demand, according to
the report. that many of the girls sail
ing from England have been engaged
by wireless as cooks and servants in
Australian households before their
steamer reached port. In some cases
men have been so hard up for cooks
that they have gone out in tugs to
meet incoming vessels to make sure
that they have the first pick Of girls
seeking employment. The first few
days following the landing Of the i'm
migrants resembles an old hiring fair.
The employers besiege the labor bu-
reau in hundreds and in a short time
every newcomer desiring domestic
work is pretty certain to have secured
situation at wages more than double
the sum which she could command in
England.
The commission learned of COM
plants that the scarcity Of servants in
Australia involves such a burden on
housewives that it was affecting SER
iously their health and even acting as
check upon the much desired in
crease Of the population.

MORE STUDENTS
Number OF Women in German Col.

Berlin. Feb. 2s.-The number of
Women students at German universi-
ties has been nearly quadrupled dur
ing the past six years according to
figures just announced. In the winter
of 1908, when the doors Of German
universities were first fully thrown
open to women there were l,1OS
women students enrolled; today there
are 1855 women taking regular
courses and as many more who are
attending lectures. More than six per
cent of the total number of students
at the German universities are wom-

and history; somewhat more than
one-fourth are studying medicine, and
more than one-fifth natural sciences.

are foreigners. Russia sends the
largest number, and America the next.

EAGER. TO Learn
Merit OF cure :
German Cattle Raisers In

Berlin Feb. 2s.-Cattleraisers III
Germany are eagerly awaiting de-
cision by the government as to the
merits of the cure for foot and mouth
disease announced recently by Prof.
Ludwig Brieger, a distinguished Ger
man scientist and his assistant, DR.. NJ.
Krauss. The remedy is called typo
safrel, and is derivative of saffron.
1t is administered easily by mixture
with the water which the cattle drink.
The formula has not been made pub

Of opinion as to whether an effective
check has been discovered for this
cattle plague which costs stockmen
all over the world millions of dollars
annually.
As previously reported it is claim
ed that 29O head Of cattle were sue
cessfully treated in recent experiments
here and members of the reichstag
have asked the government to investi-
gate the remedy with q view to ac-
quiring control of it il effective, and
furnishing it to cattle raisers at cost.
Prof. Brieger. who also recently
announced new method Of treating
sleeping sickness. is one of large

mouth disease germ, whose identity
was only recently established by a
Swiss scientist. DIR. Brieger believes
that his discovery may not only be ef-
fective against the foot and mouth
disease but against other germs, to
which the blood Of cattle is subject.
If only his claims as to the former
are borne out, however, that cure
alone will be sufficient to confer real
boon to humanity for the disease has
been one of the great factors in the

rigid quarantine measures and the
slaughter Of whole herds of animals;
and three years ago the pest again
swept through the empire. Great

The disease has even become a
