GERMANS, CHECKED, EXTEND
NEW OFFENSIVE NEAR VERDUN

NEW OFFENSIVE NEAR VERDUN
London.-Checked in the drive on
Verdun by the arrival of great bodies
of French reinforcements, the Ger
mans are now extending their mighty
offensive to the Champagne region,
forty miles west of the Verdun woods.
An official statement from the Ger
man war office this afternoon, vir-
tually confirmed the French state
ments that the Verdun onslaught has
been halted, temporarily at least, by
the French.
At the same time Berlin reported
the capture of more than 1000 yards
of French trenches and the strongly
fortified Navarin farm, the scene of
desperate fighting in earlier combats
in the Champagne. The gain was
made Berlin reported, after efficient
artillery preparation" indicating that
big German howitzers were brought
into play in battering an opening for
the attack, as at the beginning of the
Verdun drive. More than 1000
French prisoners were taken.
For the first time since the crown
prince launched his great attack
against the French fortress the Ger
man war office this afternoon claimed
no important gains in the direction
of Verdun.
London.-Bodies of captain and 8
sailors of Wilson Liner Dido, sunk
early Saturday, were washed up on
Lincolnshire coast today.

his command, the Kaiser is now strik-

1869 DROWNED WHEN BRITISH
STEAMER HITS MINE
London, Feb. 28.-Revised figures
show that 169 persons, including 55
passengers, are missing and probably
lost in the sinking of the Peninsular
and Oriental Liner Maloja by mine
off Dover
Dispatches to shipping Offices to-
day brought word of sinking of Rus
sian steamer Uetshenga, seventh YES
sci to meet disaster within past 4S
hours, Is of her crew having been
landed The others, in addition to
liner Maloja, and Empress of Fort
William, which went to her aid, are
British steamers Birgit and Suevier,
French steamer Trignac and Dutch
steamer Mecklenburg.
About a score of women and chill
dren were among those who lost their
lives when the liner Maloja turned
turtle while dozens of smaller craft
were fastening to her assistance.
Bodies of II women and children
had been landed at Dover today and
placed in morgue for Identification.
Several of survivors are near death
from exposure.
Dover, England, Feb. pa brown
eyed baby girl, brought here today, is
one of the survivors of the Peninsular
and Oriental liner Maloja.
A patrol boat crew picked her up
an hour after the Maloja went down,
floating on her back and as content

She was apparently. unframed by
exposure. 1t is believed she was toss
ed from the rail when the steamer
struck a mine. The authorities are
looking for her mother atmong the

oratory. OF the results obtained
by examining stamps obtained in
this way, the authors say:
1.-The majority of the stamps
showed one or more organisms,
but in no single instance were
they found to be pathogenic in
type. This does not exclude the
fact that under favorable con
ditions certain pathogenic types,
which would resist drying to a
certain extent, might be carried
on postage stamp. On the other
hand the work proves the stamp to
be a carrier Of organisms, and
these could be readily transferred
from one individual to another.
This would be Of importance only
where the organism was patho-
genie. We have in mind drug
store where one of the members
Of the druggist s family had adj
vanced tuberculosis During
busy times he often served custO-
mcrs, and not infrequcntly dis
pensed stamps to children who
would moisten them with their
mouths and paste them to letters.
4 single exposure in this case
might prove negative, but the con
slant exposure in some cases
would undoubtedly end in infcc-
ton.
Conclusions
Il. A study Of fifty stamps oh
tanned from as many different
sources, clean, dirty, in indiffer-
emf, showed bacteria in every in
stance except two.
80 With the possible cxcep-
ito Of two cases no organism path
ogcnic in type was encountered.
g. Aside from hygenic reas-
ons, it is dangerous to lick pos
tage stamps on the ground that
the stamps are bacteria laden and
under favorable conditions might
easily convey pathogenic types,
especially colon, diphthcria and
/ tubcrcle bacillus.
q. We would therefore advo
cate a movement to have install
ed in all places dispensing postage
stamps a moistening device OF
some type. This movement coul6
be started with beneficial results
in the postoffices Of the United
States Government Literary
Digest.

Don't Lick Postage Stamps,


Those who enjoy the prospect
of transferring to their systems
miscellaneous collection Of
germs may be pleased to know
that the common custom Of moi,,-
tening stamps by licking them Is
one OF the best ways to effect this
result. OF fifty stamps recently
tested in the University Of PENN
sylvania only two were free from
germs. No germs of actual dis
ease were found, but the result
shows plainly that the gum on the
stamp is a favorable place for bac-
terra, and that when disease is
about, it's bacterial messengers
would be very likely to gather
there Ii one could examine the
stamp and tell by sight whether
the bacteria on it were those Of
disease or not one could then lick
it or not, as the case might. be. AS
this is impossible, it is probably
best to stop licking altogether.
This is the course recommended
by Dr.. Kelly and Mr.. NcMaster,
the Pennsylvania investigators
who contribute an account Of
their work to the Medical Record
(New York, July 22). They say
"The purpose Of this study was
to determine the normal bacterial
flora OF postagc-stamps, that is,
to get some idea Of the general
character Of bacteria found on
stamps with especial emphasis in
the search for tubercle bacilli, the
colon group, and diphtherial
forms
"The literature on this subject
is surprisingly meagcr> and but
little record is made Of the bac-
terra of stamps. The subject is
usually approached from the
viewpoint Of the spread Of infec-
ton by the postal service as a
whole, the infection by letters and
the fumigation Of letters, and but
ton Or Of the bacteria Of stamps
"In order to determine this, sc
stamps were bought in various
stores in Philadelphia, including
the central office, branch Offices
almost all the large department
stores, many drug stores, and some
of the small general stores. Mos
of the stamps were bought from
sheets and a few (three) from
stamp books. The character 0
the place was noted, its genera
cleanliness, the clerk and his ap
pearance, and whether the stamp
were placed on the counter witt
the change or not. In almOs
all cases they were presented wit
the glue side up, showing that tn
precepts Of public hygiene hav
had this much effect y
The clerk was then asked t
put the stamps in sterile tube
in which it was taken to the lal
