roughly linked up with the line
through the Carpathians.
This is Russia's strength in her
possession of the mountain passes.
Once more she has something of a
choice in offensive. She can, within
limits, pick her place to strike.
'Galicia up to the Donajec is clear
of foes. To the northward the spring
thaw has made vast swamp of
Poland and reduced the danger of
attack from above the Vistula. The
Cars generals need not worry
about their right flank as they
threaten Cracow with one hand and
the Hungarian plains with the other.
Also, the possession of the passes
and the Galician railroads gives the
Slavs for the first time the advan-
tage of shorter lines. They can shift
army corps from the Galician to the
Hungarian front more quickly than
their opponents.
The week-old rumors of a German
offensive from East Prussia as an
answer to this situation are no
longer renewed. More clearly each
day it develops that an advance from
Cracow is the natural strategic re-
ply. But again strategy may be
forced to yield to political consider
ations-as with the French in Alsace
in August and the Germans in East
Prussia.
The Hungarian government has
made it unmistakably plain that, no
matter what the strategists may
think about it, they cannot see any
gain for the Magyar in offering his
land as a sacrifice to the Cossack to
help out strategic operations in Ga
licia. Their position-as their
premier set forth to the Kaiser-is
that the way to protect Hungary is
to, protect Hungary.
No doubt this in a large measure
explains the reported great concen-
tration south of the Carpathians.
Whether this was. effected without
dangerously weakening the lines in
front of Cracow a sudden Russian
thrust in that direction may deter
mine. And whether the story of a
huge concentration there is merely a
mask to cover the preparation of a
true offensive an equally sudden
German thrust at the Donajec may
reveal.

oysters brought from northern beds

These specialists now term oysters
"as safe food as is milk" OF
course, the genuine devotees of the
oyster never considered safety
first;" but more timid souls were
frequently deferred because of the
reputed pollution of the oysters from
northern beds. -,. g.
Every oyster bed, from Massachu-
sctts to Virginia, it is reported, has
been inspected. Many Of them, es-
pecially in the northern region, have
been closed. This closing ended the
long fight Of Connecticut for the
privilege of shipping its polluted
oysters all over the country. DR..
Harvey W. Wiley first protested
against that practice. But it took
long and arduous work to convince
the denizens of the wooden nutmeg
center that if they insisted on dredg-
ing polluted beds they should eat
the products themselves.

THE WOMAN'S CLINIC

Within the eighteen months of its
existence the Woman's Clinic Aux
iliary has done notable service. Its
latest effort is a pioneer work in
presenting health and hygiene lee
lures to woman and girl employees in
department stores, and the stores
are cooperating in this project.
Headed by Mrs. John Hays Ham
mond, Mrs. Charles E. Hughes, Mrs.
julius Lansburgh and DR.. Elnora
Folkmar, as superintendent, the
clinic has not limited its service to
medical attention, but in it's own
quarters lectures on keeping well'
formed major portion Of the win
ter's work. The present step toward
extension lecture work will be de-
veloped further next winter.
In addition to efforts of this sort
the clinic, within the last six months,
has recorded ,224 patients. 1t has in
stalled bed in Sibley Hospital and
in two months has sent six patients
there. 1t was the first to hold a
clinic in Garfield Hospital where
women performed operations. 1t now
has a membership of 393 ard de-
serves the assistance of the public
in increasing that membership to
600.
The principle on which the clinic
Is conducted is such that it COM
mends itself to those who can as
sist. It does not pauperize patients
when they are able and willing to
pay. Fees are based upon the ability
of the patients, and the maximum
permitted is 81. Persons able to
pay more are referred to a physi-
clan.
The clinic holds four evenings a
week open for working women, so
that these need not lose time from
their work. 1t has created an cmerg-
ency fund by which mothers and
others not able to pay their way to
the clinic may be brought there. Its
staff is entirely made up of women
physicians, and it's equipment,
through generous gifts, is fast be-
coming such that all classes Of dis
eases may be treated.
