The Austro- German troops have made progress in some places. but elsewhere apparently have suffered reverses. In one engagement, the Petrograd war office reports $500 prisoners were captured by the Rus sians.

important step in the fight against leu

made at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Prac-
teal ssibility of the disease has
been established as the result of re-

years. The important conclusion faces
the medical men that the disease may
in some instances be conta gious.
The test work was done with a group
of Plymouth Rock hens. More than a
hundred of them were used, and one
line of investigation showed the trans
mission of the disease to the fifth gem
