LONDON, May 3l.-The British
health authorities are preparing for
elaborate measures to prevent any
widespread epidemics of diseases like
cholera, typhus, seurvy, dysentery or
typhoid, either in this country or
among the British soldiers abroad.
There is widespread anxiety that some
diseases of this character will make
their appearance in force in the west
3rn part of the Continent during the
next few months.
Professor Simpson of Kings College,
london, points out that the armies of
Germany and Austria will be in very
different physical, mental and material
condition in August and the autumn of
1918 or 1916 from what they were in
1914. Should epidemics then arise, they
are not likely to be confined to the par
|ticular armies first stricken, nor will
the civil population in the devastated
areas escape.
Scarcity of food, it is further indi.
Gated, will play its>part in reducing the
disease resisting power Of the popula;
ton. The combination Of war, food
and famine will favor the spread OF
npidcmics. --''r
indeed" says Professor Simpson

ready characteristics the inundated area
on the User tells its own tale. Under
this food lie hundred thousand
corpses." 49,
The User is not much farther from
London than New York is from Phila,

strict measures to protect herself. =

fessor Simpson, 1--WE cannot afford Ia

I ONDON, May 31.ZA mighty
II battle is being waged around
Przemysl. The Teutonic Allies are
making a supreme effort to Isolate
the Russian garrison and free their
armies in Galicia for a campaign
against Italy in the south, and tor
reinforcement of the western line
against the increasing armies of the
French and British. ''.'
So long as Przenysl remains i'll
Russian hands, it will be a menace
in the rear of the Teutonic lines,
just as Antwerp, i'll the rear of the
German lines through Belgium,
proved threat which it finally be-
came necessary to abate.
Russians Holding Their Own
% North of the fortress, the Rus
slams have brought up large rein
forcements and are holding their
own against the furious offensive
Of the Austro- Germans, but south
west of the fortress, where they
have fewer troops and. there is
more difficulty in keeping them wei
supplied with ammunition AMI
guns, they have been forced back
farther and farther.
AS yet, the outcome of the battle
remains in doubt, but one way or
the other it must be decided soon,
for the menace of the Italian inva-
sion is becoming so serious. that
neither Germany nor Austria can
neglect it longer.
Italian Advance a Menace
Should the Italian advance pro-
gress much farther, it would com
pei a general withdrawal of the
Teutonic forces from Galicia. That
is what the Allies are hoping for.
Should the Italians then defelt
the combined German Austrian
armies and advance toward Mu-
Mich. menacing the German lines
in France from the rear, Germany
would be compelled to take up new
positions on that front, within her
own borders.
