DR.. Taylor, Associate of Dr.

DR.. Joseph A. Blake. whose connec-
ton with the American Ambulance OF
Psri. was terminated last September,
after . series of complications, has
made a great success of managing Lady

been associated with Dr. Blake since
he began his new work. Or. Taylor
arrived on the Rochambeau for a
months vacation at home. after year
and a half of work in France. There
are five hospitals at Ris Orangis. under
DR.. Blake's supervision, according 10
DR.. Taylor, with a capacity for treat
ing 500.
"Everything is going smoothly at the
hospitals" DR.. Taylor said. I'VE have
been most successful thus far and have
been able TO treat the men fast enough
to prevent overcrowdng."
Dr.. Taylor has devoted considerable
time TO research work, paying especial
attention TO improvements in disinfect-
ants. He is well known in English
and French medical circles for his re
cent discovery of a qUinine treatment
for gas gangrene poisoning used in
many military hospitals The first op-
portunity for a test was given by a
heroic rurse who inoculated herself
with the gas gangrene bacillus and
called on DR.. Taylor for treatment.
The new serum was a success and has
since saved the lives of hundreds of
soldiers who would otherwise have died
in the greatest agony.

yet to be heard.
More than score of "Tom Browns

their first organization meeting, in the
Labor Temple, last night. In the
shadow of picture of Christ they
swore to fight his enemies with their

New York Is Spared
Force of Big Storm

Whoever started the third big storm
Of the month Tuesday night down in
Texas and Louisiana and babe il sweep
through the East and the central West
forgot 10 mention this city as port
of destination. Only the outriding
gusts of wind, layers of snow and
sleet and rain visited here. The main
force OF the storm expended itself in
billiards, snowstorms, gales and like
trouble in Ohio. Kentucky, northern
New York, and the southern Atlantic
seaboard.
The easterly gale the Weather Blu
reau expected yesterday afternoon
turned out to be mere thirty mile an
hour wind. A rise in temperature
shortly after the storm began early
yesterday morning turned the snow
into rain. Last night was clear and
little colder. At late hour the pre-
diction that a gale would sweep the
city during the night appeared TO be
nothing but prediction.
Shortly after ] o'clock one Of the two
siXty-foot steel towers supporting the
wireless antenna on the roof of the
John Wanamaker store broke at a point
thirty feet from the roof. The upper
section crashed down through the tile
roof into the supply room on the top
floor A great shower OF ice fell to
the pavement, but no one was injured.
Wires went down along most Of the
railroads leading TO the city, but in
most cases some sort OF temporary SER
vice was arranged. The New Haven
leased q Western Union wire TO Boston.
Several of its southbound trains were
an hour late in reaching the Grand
Central Terminal. Trains on the Penn
sylvania, despite the breakage Of wires
north of Philadelphia, kept to sched-
ule. New York Central trains were
only a few minutes late.

from the Health Department yesterday
as follows:
Avoid all intended operations on the
nose and throat at this time, and where
operations have been performed great
care not to expose the patient 70 the
grip should be taken.
Give the children under ten years OF

This warning TO children is based on
the observations of DR.. Martha VOL

Berlin 10 drag out negotiations till the
Austro- German force wa. ready TO
strike its blow on the Danube. When
AZ last Bulgaria threw of the mask and
ordered the mobilization OF her army
il might have been expected that the
ewes of the Allies would be opened. But
they we're not.
AS soon as the news was received IN
Nish General Putnik saw that the one
hone for Serbia was TO strike Defore
the concentration Of the Bulgarian
army was accomplished. Serbia had
nearly 100000 men on the bulgarian
frontier. The field marshal guaranteed
that they would be in the Bulgar capt.
tai in five days. Then the Bulgar men
ace having been dealt with, the whole
of Serbia's armed force could be turned
against the German invader.
Serbia Gave Up Opportunity to Strike.
But not only was the permission to
attack refused by the Allies, but cate
oorical orders were sent that not
man should move. Even at that elev-
enth hour. incredible as 1t may seem,
the diplomats of the Allies were con-
WINGED that Bulgaria was coming in on
their side.
Asa result. the Serb government gave
orders that the army should withdraw
several kilometres from the Bulgarian
frontier, and il was intimated that any
Serbian officer who should provoke
frontier incident would be shot.
These instructions led to the aban-
donment of the strong natural frontier
position Of Saint Nicolas. which was
occupied the next morning by the Bu!-
earians without firing a shot. Serbia.
being thus tied hand and foot, could
only look on hopelessly while events

A week later the crash came. Bull

Serb frontier 10 attack the bare quarter

Peter could dispose.

began.
The destruction by the Serbians Of
the war material in the national ar.
senal at Kraguyevatz still further con
tributed 10 this. A fortnight later the
whole Serb army was forced into po'
sition where it had no line Of retreat
except through two narrow mountain
gorges fifty kilometres long.
Through thess the commanders OF
the Third and Second armies had TO
pour $4,000 OK wagons, pontoon trains,
hundreds of batteries of heavy and
field artillery, and 10000 men, in.
fantry and cavalry. This movement
had to be carried out with the knowl-
edge that the Bulgarian forces at Nish
were being pushed forward TO close one

By means of forced marches In one
day We marched twenty-one hours
without a moments halt, and the
mouth Of the pass was cached before
the Bulgars arrived. But those tscti'
cal conditions had made IL impossible
for General Tourishitch TO delay the
Germsn advance, so that Won Macken'
sens army debouched at Kurehoumlis
four days later.
As the second German force. opsYst'
ing near Kraljevo, had driven the
Serbians back, there was but one
course open-a general retreat on
Pristina.
Serbs Make Last Effort.
Here all that was left Of the Serbian
army concentrated. The Headquarters
staff, seeing the complete failure OF the
policy of retreat, decided 70 attempt a
desperate offensive and to make q last
effort to break the circle of steel slow
ly but surely closing around them.
An advance was ordered on Krivolak'
with its object a general advance on
Uskub. If successful this would have
given the Serbians possession OF Oh:

their joining hands with the Allies
But the efforts were too great. For
three nights these exhausted Serbs
fought from mountain peak TO noun

strong.
Then came the debace. All that
was left of the Serbian army was
forced back to Prizrend. with no 81.

surrender or retreat to Albanian soil.
For veal or woe the latter course was
decided upon, and 10000 men. without
