verses from the Bible at the opening
of the morning session of each pub

bill itself proposes to have only those

one of the greatest pieces of litera-

universal principles of right living
than any other book printed and ia

Restraining the Germ Carrier.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star
 The reappearance m New York of Mary Mallon, popularity known as 'Ty- phoid Mary brings to an interesting crisis problem of public safety versus personal liberty. It is question which often puzzles health officers and will continue to do so until the status If that human menace known as the germ carrier" is definitely and satis- factorily settled.
 Typhoid Mary" is acknowledged by bacteriologists to be an extremely dan- gerous person. Immune to typhoid her self, she is so laden with its germs that she spreads the disease wherever her liberty under the promise that she would never follow her vocation as cook. a profession in which she is par ticu1arly dangerous to public health. Mary did not keep her promise In fact she became so reckless that she secured, under another name, situation as cook in the Sloane Maternity hospital Her identity was not discovered until 25 physicians and nurses had cont down with the disease. Mary escaped and went into a private family, where she was at last found and arrested.
 Public safety demands that so dan gerous a person should be permanently Guarantined. Yet being in normal health herself. she has some claim to freedom Until science is able to purge germ carrier of dangerous bacteria. Mary will always be public danger. Even at the risk of infringing to some extent on personal liberty, such per- sons should be placed under restraint

London, June 3.-(4:01 a. m.)-The Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant's corre- spondent with the German forces on the French front says:
 The i'll feeling of the German soldiers toward the United States is shown by the change in the treatment of American newspaper representatives visiting the German lines. For example, I visited a battery of howitzers and, as was my cus- tom, passed around a handful of cigars to the artillerymen To my astonishment every man refused them. This was thing unheard of before but I put it down to shyness until l learned a few

brilliant success or utter disaster, says the Petrograd correspondent of the Morn ing Post
 The correspondent explains that Gen eral Mackenzen has at this point a mill lion men dependent upon narrow neck Of territory not seven miles wide on the San for their only communication with their base. Their front is within eight miles of Mosciska, which is their im- mediate objective, station on the main line of the railway to Lemberg.
 Both Hanks. the correspondent con- iinues, are being attacked by Russians who are gradually closing in on the nar- row neck of land running from Jaroslau to the River Lubaczowka, which alone is available for communication with the Ger man rear.
 General Mackenzen,' the report con cludes, has dashed in to gain at any cost point on the railway behind Przemysl and join hands with the Ger mans operating on the front from Przemysl to the great Dniester marshes, and either remarkable temporary suc- cess of the extremely daring maneuver or a crushing disaster must follow within a brief period The Germans are fighting on three fronts, north, east and south with their communications to the west serious " threatened. We do not know whether the German attempt to save the situation by frontal attack on Przemys to re- lieve the pressure on the main German forces across the San will be successful"
 In another dispatch the correspondent says:
 The Russians are well prepared for the employment by the Germans by pois- onous gas, which is now being used on all the fronts, in bombs at artillery range and against trenches at close quarters. But the attacking bermans to their cost, find their enemies quite alive and active. The Russian method is to lie low until the enemy is almost on the trenches when a whitening blast of fire annihilates the attackers utterly"
