Alden, Arabia, was missing. At the
same time, officials were much
gratified at the indication. enanat-
ing from Baron Erich Zweidinek,

embassy here. that the Vienna
government would be quick to

submarine commander had dis
obeyod instructions in regard to

ships without warning.

Zweidinek. "lt may have happen

BRITISH LINER SINKS
DIVER IN SEA FIGHT
CIOdmOor Defends Self When
Attacked in Mediterranean.

Montreal, Aug. 2.-The Britinh
steamer Clodmoors, just in port from
Genoa, Italy, had a battle in the Med
iterranean sea with a German subma-
rine, her commander, Charles Hunter,
reports. He believes he left the sub
marine in a sinking condition.
The Clodmoor plainly showed the
marks of the submarines gun fire.
The steamship is armed with one gun
for defensive purposes, and it was
with this, her captain said, that he
shelled the submarine when she was
attacked, and so seriously damaged
her that she drew off in apparently a
sinking condition.
The battle lasted half an hour, ac-
cording to Captain Hunter, but only
one shell did serious damage to the
C1odmoor. This pierced the vessel
near the engineers and mates quar-
ters. Several shells, however, dropped
on the vessels decks.

iNFANTILE PARALYSIS AND
RUNNING NOSES.

lnfantile paralysis, an epidemic OF
which has been raging in New York, is another
of the diseases of childhood which authorities
in contagious diseases state secure their ent: y
through nose and throat and are passed on to
new victims by the mucous discharges of pa
tients suffering from them. The list is a long
one, including nearly every contagious disease
of childhood. Measles, mumps, scarlet fever,
whOoping cough, sore throat, tonsilitis, pneu-
monia, grippe and common colds are doubtless
spread in this manner.
In the warnings concerning infantile
paralysis, great emphasis is placed on viewing
every child who shows symptoms of common
cold, )" during an epidemic with suspicion. This
is especially important as it is now believed
that many infections with the germs of infan-
tile paralysis never go to paralysis and that a
child, supposedly with nothing but a common
cold, may infect another child who may die or
become hopelessly crippled from this terrible
disease.
| wish that | might persuade every
parent and teacher to respect the possible
danger that lies in running noses of child
hood. AS yet Wisconsin has escaped an epi-
demic of infantile paralysis this year. but it
have in great numbers each year. Our need of
preventing them is still greater than preventing
infantile paralysis in spite of publicity the lat
ter disease is now receiving.
Every child with common cold"
who shows any signs of feverishness, who acts
listless, whose appetite is poor, is suspicious
character and should be excluded from contact
with others. He should be put to bed for his
own sake and for the sake of other children,
until his temperature is normal. And yet, one
of the most intelligent teachers l know, spurred
with the desire of good attendance records and
high scholarship, urged her children not to stay
out of school for common colds Until she
and her kind, and parents, generally, come to
have a better appreciation of the relatively
greater value of life and health we shall con-
tinue to slaughter and cripple our children by
contagious disease.-infantile paralysis among
