CURE FOR CEREBRO-
 SPINAL MENINGITIS
Dr. Bull of Australia Declares That Eucalyptus Will Destroy Germ
 of "I'he Black Death"

Melbourne, Australia, Aug. II, via London 1:17 D. m.-The discovery of a specific for cerebro-spinal menin- gitis was announced today by pr. Richard Bull. director of the bacter- iological laboratory of the University of Melbourne. Dr. Bull stated that eucalyptus would destroy the germ.
 The treatment of cerebro-spinal meningitis has long presented a seri- ous problem for medical science. Up to a comparatively short time ago 1t may be said that there was no ef- fective treatment for this disease. known popularly as spotted fever" or 'the black death.' The intro- duction of serum therapy. however, offered hope of combating the disease successfully. In the epidemic in New York in 1905 the serum of Flexner and Joblng was used -Tith striking success among the patients. The medical properties of the oil ob- tained from leaves of the eucalyptus three have long been recognized.

 Horce Hacing at Fair Grounds
 Gulong Receives Promotion-Briefs.
 Tony Sarreceno of Pennington road, Kensington. is in a peculiar quandry. He is divided between parental de- votion and patriotic duty. Tony Is married and has a family of three: he Is also a member of the Italian re- serve force. The government has called upon him to report for duty at home and he is willing and anxious to go. But the fact that his youngest child is seriously sick is causing him considera ble worry. He wants to serve his country but a dutiful parent he feels that it would be wrong to leave his home and fireside while his child's life is in danger.
 With a heavy heart and a worried expression on his face Tony left this morning for New Haven, where he is to pour his tale of woe into the syn- pathetic ears of the Italian consul He Is going to try to secure passage for his little family over to the sunny shores of Italy, where he will leave them with relatives while he will offer | himself on the altar of patriotic devo- ton.
 Tony Is employed at the New Britain freight depot, where he has proven himself to be an industrious and con- scientious laborer. Although he has seldom missed day, from his work. still the task of providing for his small family was an arduous one for him When it was first announced that Italy had contemplated entering the great conflict Tony daily scanned the rnpers with enthusiasm. He decided that as a true patriotic citizen of Italy he should return and assist his mother country in her trouble. He preached the subject to his wife
 At first she would not listen to such 6 project and irnplored Tony to give i rp. But after explaining to her why he should return the willy Tony wor

 have been unsuccessful. With but few weeks for the reservists to return
 to Italy, under the penalty of fifteel
 years imprisonment, it is indeed question for Tony to solve. He ha R1ready received a passport over to hi native country and he is now en deavoring to secure others for his lit tie family.

SUBMARINE SITUATION
CAUSES UNEASlMESS
., s.see,.rrs ,s.s., r ,

; LONDON. Feb. 2O,-A German sub
marine made its appearance in the
Irish sea this morning and toipedoed
without notice the British .coasting
steamer, Cambank, OF $3.50 tons reg
;istered. Three Of the crew were
killed and a fourth was drowned white
the men were taking 10 the boats.
This incident was the only one con-
nected with the German submarine
blockade OF the British Isles reported
during the day. 1T came about the
same time that the Anglo-French fleet
was bonbarding the Dardanellcs
forts. and whllc the Russians, accord
ing to a telegram received from Petro-
grad, were administering defeat to
the Germans at Ossowetz, Poland, and
driving back to the frontier the troops
who had attacked that fortress.
Submarine Causes Anxiety.
Except for the loss of life, the sink
ing OF the Canlbank was not In itself
"a serious matter but the presence of
"a German submarine near the route,
which the Atlantic lines take on thsil.
way to and from Liverpool and along
which many steamers pass daily, is
bound to cause some uneasiness. 1t
is true that this was not the first time
that ahostile submarine has been in
these waters but the last one to visit
them gave the crews of the three ships
which it sank ian opportunity to
leave the vessels before sinking them.
The Cambank apparently had
slowed down to pick up itsy Liverpool
pilot and 1t was observed by the
.sibmnrine and tofpedoed. While the
sinking Of this steamer can, however,
raise no diplomat ~ problems. a serl
ious situation may arise ont of the
torpedoing Of the Norwegian tank
steamer, Belridge, which, according to
the British admiralty, was struck by
q torpedo OFF Folkestone..
The Norwegian foreign Office has
ordered the Norwes sian consulate at
London to investigate this affair and
report imme ediately with the object,
1t is thought. Of making representa-
tives to Germany if the facts are as
stated by the british officials.
Despite the attacks on these steam-
ers the arrivals at the sailing from
British ports maintain their daily
average.
Battles Continue.
In the meantime the battles on the
continent continue with ever increas-
ing intensity The offensive which
the allies took earlier in the week has
