little list of typhoid safety firsts'
which DR.. j. NJ. ]. Raunick, health
officer and director of the city bureau
of health and sanitation issued to-
day.
The typhoid situation was discussed
at last evenings meeting of the
bureau and aside from considering
informal reports relative to suspected
street Ice cream venders, DR.. Raunick
said the bureau could take no action.
DR.. Rauntck said he is now investi-
eating reports but until he can verify
them he can hardly proceed.
Following are DR.. Raunick's "ty-
phoid safety first tips:
A single drink OF polluted
water or milk may cause typhoid.
Infected ice cream even in
y small amounts may cause ty-
phoid.
Most of our present typhoid
cases are traced to polluted
water outside the city
All untreated water must be
considered unsafe
Spring or we'll water can be
used with safety only after hav-

Burglar Shoots Self
After Staying Woman

New York. June 17.-Carman Cor
nelius a well-to-do merchant, sum-
moned neighbors to his apartment in
East New York early today with the
announcement that a burglar had
shot his wife. Those who returned
with Cornelius to his suite found his
beautiful young wife, Barbara, dead
in bed with two bullet holes in her
head. Nearby on the floor was the
body of a young man who had been
shot through the temple. The in
truder, whom neither Cornelius nor
the police could identify still clutched
a pistol.
Cornelius declared that the man
entered his bed room to commit rob-
berry and fired a shot at him which
killed Mrs. Cornelius. He believed
the supposed burglar committed
suicide while the murdered woman's
husband was seeking help. The police
after two hours could not get Cor
nelius to change his story.

The campaign against the Russians,
on which the Germans are now con-
centrating their offensive efforts, is
developing another struggle i'll n vio-
lent attack In Russian Poland. At the
same time the Germans are pushing
back the Russians I'm the Baltic prov
inces and, with the help of the Aus
tTfans, in Galicia.
An official communication from Pc
trograd contains the admission that
the Germans have occupied additional
villages near Shawl, in the Baltic re-
gion, but states that the Russians re-
gained lost ground near PrZaSnySz.
IL is in the vicinity of PrzasnysZ, which
lies to the north of Warsaw, that the
Germans apparently are making their
most determined effort on the Polish
front, although the fortress town of
Ossowetz is again being attacked.
The Galician campaign has reached
a critical stage in view of the con-
tiHued success OF the Austrians and
Germans. The Petrograd communi-
cation says little of the battle along
the San, but states the Russians have
won some advantages in the fighting
farther south in the Dneister region.
Official advices from the Italian
army headquarters represent the Ital-
ians as gaining advantages all along
the front, particularly in the Adige
Valley, which leads to Trent. On the
IsonZo front, where centers the battle
for possession of Triest, Italian sue

Countries
NOT PEACE-AT-ANY-PRICE Z"

Philadelphia, June 17.-Men dis
tfnguished in many walks of life gath
cred at historic Independence Hall to-
day at a conference to consider the
adoption of proposals for League OF
Peace and to decide upon steps to be
taken with q view to obtaining the
support of public opinion and of gov
ernments.
The meeting was called by the Ma
tional Provisional Committee, which
includes in its membership well-known
publicists, educators, peace advocates,
editors and economists, and was pre-
sided over by eX-President William
Howard Taft. The plan was largely
the idea of the former President and
is understood to have the personal.
though unofficial, endorsement of
President Wilson.
At a banquet given by the pro-
visional committee last night Mr.. Taft
outlined the purposes of the confer
ence. He declared he was firmly of
the opinion that a League of Peace
could be formed which would enable
nations to avoid war by furnishing "a
practical means for settling inter-
national questions or suspending them
until the binding heat of passion had
cooled. We are not peace-at-any-
price men," he said. because we do
not think we have reached the time
wien a plan based on the complete
abolition of war is practical"
Four articles which had been agreed
upon by the provisional committee as
a basis for the conference were pre-
sented to the meeting to-day and 1t
was hoped by members of the COM
mittee that they would be adopted and
sent to President Wilson for his con-
sideration and to the heads of other
nations. The articles are as follows:
F1rst-All tusticiable questions aris-
ing between the signatory powers not
settled by negotiation shall be sub
mitted to a judicial tribunal for hear
ing and judgment both upon the merits
and upon any issue as to its jurisdic-
