Germans Chosento Lead Charge at
Hun,in Dubbed ''DiDision of Death

PETROGRAD. Feb. 5-Not since the
battles around Lodz, IN Russian Poland,
in the early part of December. have the
Germans delivered such vicious attacks
as those OF yesterday. when they at
tmpted to break through the Russian
line at Borjimow.
Probably never before in the eastern
Arena of the war have they concentrated
such force on single point. In dis
lance sof six miles, between Humin and
Boriimow, the Germans threw 10000 in
fantrymen together with heavy forces OF
cavalry, the whole supported by 100 bait
tories of artillery or 600 guns. 1t is esti-
mated that7i III this short line there were
nearly 5000 men to the mile coming in
on ten or twelve lines like the waves Of
the sea.
The Russians, warned by the attacks
of previous days in this same vicinity, had
concentrated correspondingly heavy
forces to resist the German advance. So
close were both sides packed In this
narrow space that the artillery became
practically useless.
The battlefield was flat plain un-

INSTRUCTED by either trees or houses.
The latter already had been demolished
by shell fire. The Russians met the
German advance with rifle fire and the
bayonet, the first lines struggling for
ward and backward from trench to
trench.
At some places the trenches were only
a few hundred yards apart. The close
ness of the line made the fighting ex-
traordlnary sanguinary. Whole COM

New DiSinfectant,
Harmless, Efficient,
Has Been Found

WASHINGTON. oct. 1O.-As a result Of
experiments conducteo at the hygienic
laboratory of the United States Public
Health Service Il is announced that
new disinfectant possessing qualities su-
perior to ordinary disinfectants, has re-
Gently been discovered. The announce
ment is particularly important at this
time, coming as it does in the face of the
shortage of coal tar derivatives which
has resulted from the European conflict
The new preparation is derived from
pine oil. by-product In the manufacture
of turpentine. II is easily prepared by
mixing certain proportions of the oil with
rosin and sodium hydroxide solution, the
finished product being a reddish brown
liquid. rather thick and oily in appear
ance. but free from turbidity. With water
it makes a perfectly white emulsion
much resembling milk 1t has a pleasing
odor. no Objectionable taste, and attacks
neither fabrics nor metals. IL possesses
over four times the disinfectant proper
ties of carbolic acid and is altogether
nontoxic. so that it may safely be used
as a throat spray or mouth wash in So
lutions of the ordinary strength. The cost
of the preparation is remarkably low. as
it can be manufactured for less than 80
cents a gallon, solely from products
which are produced in this country.
Many of the disinfectants now on the
market are neither efficient nor econom-
ical 1t having been demonstrated that a
number of the most expensive and widely
~dvertised are extremely weak in disin-
Getting power. so much so that their
strength is Understandable by ordinary
methods. The sale of compounds of this
| nature constitutes a fraud. second class
of proprietary preparations are OF guar
enteed strength, thus putting a legal
! responsibility upon the manufacturer, but
the cost of these per unit of disnfecting
power is frequently excessive. The house
holder is therefore often at loss to Sc
lect disinfectant which Is efficient. eco
nomical and OF constant strength. and II
is believed that this new. compound,
which is to be known as 'Hygienic
Laboratory Pine-Oil Disinfectant, will
become one of the most useful prepare
! lions Of that character.
