Paris, Dec. %, 8 p. m. tOficial -
The allies are maintaining the effens-

made progress on the coast between
the North Sea and the road running
from Nieuport to Westense. The al
lies have recaptured the village of

heavy fog at Arras is impeding op-
erations. Sharp fighting at other
points is favorable to the allies.

pneumonia bacillrs has also been
often found in the same dust ITS
magnitude is indicated by the fig
ures which show that the number of
passenger cars in service in this
country totals fifty thousand and that
in these cars are hauled a million
passengers annually which means
that each car shelters twenty
thousand persons a year, or fifty four
every day.
But with all that, American rail-
roads are doing in this regard, it
would seem that they have not ye,
carried this protection Of the health
of the travelling public to the degree
of efficiency obtaining in European
countries. In Germany, for instance,
each car is run into steel cylinder,
which Is sealed. The temperature Is
then raised to 120 degrees Fahrenheit
and the air is pumped out, the heat
and the vacuum combined killing
all chronological life. American rail-
way managements might well look
into these German methods with a
view to their adoption. NO amount
OF cost should be permitted to stand
in the way of any essential protection
to the public hea lth.

THE WHITE GENERAL.

Tho superstition of the White Gen
eral riding the White Horse which is
in vogue in the Russian armies is
more tragic than the legend of a
couple OF decades ago in the United
States about the white horse and the
red headed girl The Russian myth
is that a White General, mounted on
a white horse, rides through armies
In the field at intervals If he looks
a soldier squarely in the face that
man can not be killed If he passes
him with the eyes averted, the man
is doomed.
This myth is further enlivened by
the statement that the White General
has not been seen in the Russian
armies for weeks, but has been rid
ing through the German and Austrian
forces, with his eyes fixed on the
ground This superstition seems cal
lated to be encouraged by the Rus
sian officers since 1t sends the sol
diers into battle with confidence in
victory. But il the Russian troops
should strike a situation too much
for them it will either shake faith in
the superstition or create a belief
that the White General has been rid
ing unseen through their ranks and
condemning them to death
The ignorance and backwardness OF
the Russian soldiers is favorable to
the spreading OF srcl superstitions
We would regard with more favor the
spread of the intelligence by which
soldiers know that the power that
sends them to death is the influence
OF militarism.
