 It now develops that yesterdays ef- fort was due several days ago but that the artillery preparation was de- layed by heavy weather. The French commanders report that the prelim- mary tombardment was. so effective that the losses of the attackers were comparatively light. Contrary to ex- pectattonss the Germans have made no attempt Sto follow up the smashing blow delivered against the northern Verdun defenses week ago.
 The French counter-attacks, accord ing to the official accounts, were grad ually winning back the ground gained by the Germans at heavy costs in the vicinity of Thiaumont and FleuryA In this vicinity the part of the Crown Prince is interpreted by French miliA tary opinion as evidence that the Ger mans are finding Increasing difficulty in conccnt tratinG troops at any one point on the front.

Do not these figures suggest that there is reason to be panicky over the. diarrhoea, as we'll as over paralv- sis? Should we not urge the custo- dians of public funds to permit suf- ficient expenditures to stop, or lessen this slaughter?
 The usual summer exodus of chil- dren from New York City into neigh boring states is now considerably aug mented because of the alarm felt in that city over an invasion by anterior poliomyelitis.
 While the New York health depart ment is making every effort to eradi- cate the disease and is employing drastic quarantine measures, there will be some exposed and infected children escape, who will later de- velop the disease while visiting in this state.

Authorities Call Attention to
 Undesirability of Panic Over Epidemic.

Observing that Connecticut. as well as other states, is in a panicky condition over the probable invasion of infantile paralysis" the state board of health has devoted it's June report largely to a discussion of the situation. The board says:
 We do noN belittle the occasion nor do we deplore this condition of public mind; as there is real danger, and it does seem necessary for the public to become panicky before real, ener- getic ealth-protective measures will be permitted. By this is meant that many health officers are now engaged in efforts to forestall infantile paral- ysis, employing assistance, abating nuisances, and spending money that would not be permitted under ordin- ary circumstances.
 And yet what are ordinary circum- stances-one preventable disease alone is killing over a thousand chil- dren every year and with health work CTS handicapped for lack of co-opera- ton and support. The disease refer red to IS infantile diarrhoea. Records show the following deaths in 1915 in Connecticut:-

 Where New York children are pres- ent in community, the attendance by children at theaters, churches and other public indoor gatherings should be discouraged.
 There are at this writing ten cases in the state-for the last few years an average of thirty cases year has been reported in Connecticut. ! This indicates that while extreme caution is necessary, there is no oc- casion for parents to become terror stricken at present.
