To that end DR.. Oscar league has re-
organized the laboratory force and a

poet seemingly worse, DIR. Joseph j.

reason to expect a visitation Of

summer"
Or O'Connell Is SEEING to II that his
outposts and skirm.sh lines suffice to
hold the enemy at bay. Potential Sc
curity. however. should not minimize
the task which Is his and that Of his
courageous subordinatc~. II In we'll
known what has been the dire toll
among the self-forgetful nurses and
physicians that have gone to struggle
with typhus IN Servia and other parts
Of the near East. The nurses and doc
tors At Quarantine must take kindred
risks In order that the vast bulk OF
the population may be safeguarded
from the ravages Of this malady.
The Quarantine station nesting in
the shadow Of Fort Wadsworth seems
fittingly placed, but the test tube and
the microscope will play a far more
active part in the defence OF the coun-
try, plus the t.reless vigilance Of the
health officers, than the booming guns
Of the nations batteries. But after ali

fence will not suffice IL the quaran-

Or. O'Connell has the following 10
say regarding the conditions that

German Purpose Is to Surround

he Germans are more concerned
with placing their forces advantag-
cously for following up the Vistula
victory than for gaining Warsaw.
That the Russians appreciate this
fact is shown by their appeal for an
offensive bv the Allies in the west.
1t is not the hope of the Russians 10
save Warsaw, but rather that they
must concentrate their attention on
how to keep the Brest Litovsk line
intact
Brest Litovsk is a central muni-
ton station. Its loss would be a
greater calamity than the fall Of
Warsaw. The Brest Litovsk line S
not as strong as that along the Wis
tula. If the Germans capture the
latter, the former will not present
insuperable obstacles. The present
movement would perhaps be more
properly described as a campaign for
Brest Litovsk than for Warsaw.
