SPREAD PLAGUE BY CONTACT
Or. Flexner Declares Children Carry
Infantile Paralysis to Each Other
Many New Gases.

New York, July 27.-The most i'm
portant contribution to information
about infantile paralysis made public
was a statement by DR., Simon Flex-
ner of the Rockefeller institute, that
the disease is spread primarily by per
sonal contact of child with child.
This fact developed at a conference
of local health authorities which re-
ceived reports from 80 nurses and five
physicians engaged in field work.
The daily bulletin of the health de-
partment shows that during the last
"a hours the plague killed 35 children
and there We're 1872 new cases report
ed in the five boroughs of New York

TEUToN LINE NOW REFORMING
Wide Galician Front Perled by the

Offensive in Riga District and
Claim Other Repulses.


London, July 27.-The Russians
have torn two new gaps in the Aus
trian lines in Volhynia and Galicia and
are advancing on the main road to
Lemberg.
Vienna declares the Russian adj
vances on the Lemberg road were
only unimportant," but the fact of adj
vance is admitted. The second Rus
sian advance admitted by the Aus
TRANS occurred on the Volhynian bor-
der, south of Lesznrow, where the
Teutons admit withdrawal before SUI

Austrian line is now reforming be-
hind the Boldurka sector.
Teuton Bases PeriIed.
These Russian gains menace not
only Lemberg, but Vladimir yolynski
and Kovel, the latter center having
been further imperiled by Russian adj
vances against the Germans in the
River Sloneyke district, announced by
Petrograd.
For the time being the Russian Of
fensive in the Riga district appears
to have been checked by the counter
attacks of General Won Hindenburg's
troops. Announcement to this effect
is made by Berlin. The German Off
cial statement also claims the repulse
of heavy Russian attacks in the Sec
tors further to the south, notably in
a the region of GOrodsche and on the

northeast of Beresteczk, where Ger

men and two machine guns.
In Galicia near the Volhynian bor-
der south of Lesznrow we withdrew
behind the Boldurkt sector before the
superior pressure of the enemy.
Near Raczivilow Tin Volhynia near
the Galician frontier and on the main

The Russian official report on the

back, leaving many dead and wounded
During these battles the Germans used
explosive bullets and tear producing
shells.
'In the region northwest of Baran-

waged on both sides, together with en-

/
London, July 27.-Following official
announcement both from London and
Berlin of the capture of the important
village of Pozieres, the British war
office reported In its statement that
there was no further fighting of any
consequence. This is taken to mean
that the Germans either have been UNI
able to get organized for a counter-at-
tack or do not contemplate any.
The capture of Pozieres came after
four days of terrible fighting from
house to house in the little village.
There is scarcely a house in the vii
uage in which death has not been dealt
or received. The capture of the posi-
ton was entirely the work of the Aus
| tralians. 1t was their first big effort
on the western front.
Village Commands Plateau.
The possession gives the British
| troops domination of the highest point
overlooking the plateau on which the
German lines extend to the eastward.
The British are now busily CONSOLE
| dating the position. Elsewhere on the
British front there were only artillery
duels and local fighting.
The British Secretary of War David
Lloyd-George, in a published state
ment, shows the importance the Ger
mans attached to the retention of
Pozieres by quoting from a German
divisional order issued at Contalmai-
son on July II, as follows:
Furthermore, the conversion of VII
lagos into strong points is of the great
est Importance. Such villages are
POzieres, Contamination and the two
Bazentines and Longueval."
All StronohoIds Reduced.
Secretary Lloyd-George points out
that with the capture of POzieres the
last of these villages has fallen into
the allies hands. He further points
out that the German claim of the re-
pulse of an attack on Trones wood
must be clerical error, as Trones
wood has been in British possession
since July IA.
The opinion of the military critics
in London is that no positions so
strong as the British are now sue
cessfully attacking win be found be-
tween Pozieres and Bapaume; other
wise, they argue, the Germans would
not have risked bringing troops and
guns from the Verdun sector 70 de-
fend POZieres. 1t also is inferred from
indications in the official dispatches
that the British are already beginning
to establish themselves or both sides
of the road from Pozieres to Bapaume.

Following Official Announcement From
London and Berlin of Capture of

ports No Further Fighting.

London, July 27.-Germany has
sealed the Belgian frontier, according
to dispatches from Amsterdam. She is
pouring great masses of troops into the
west and the frontier has been closed
as a precaution against any of their
movements becoming known. Belgians
are not allowed to leave their homes
while the great troop movements are
in progress. This news is regarded as
indicating that the kaiser plans a ire
mendous counter-attack against the
French and British.

Chicago. Feb. l-Wheat-Liberai
receipts and the prospect Of spring
like weather created a very hearish
feeling locally IN wheat. and the mar
ket sold back into new low ground
encountering numerous stop-loss
orders By midday prices were close
TO the low point for the May delivery,
while the July had rallied moderately.
The buying of July and selling OF May
continued in d large way the former
gaining further and selling at the mar
rowes, discount so far. The ahsorp
ton of wheat on the extreme break
was large both by commission houses
and cash interests and at this stage
local bears seemed to be the best sell
ers.
Corn-Corn opened sharply lower
but. after that. the range was narrow
and the market showed a renarka bly,
steady tone. Demand In the local
sample market broadened materially,
with the arrival OF a number Of orders
from outside markets who were COM
pettng with local elevators and indus
trial interests Visible supply for the
week increased over 100000 bushels
and the prospect is for q continued
liberal run OF low grade stuff.
Oats-Considering the poor demand
for cash oats and the weakness of
other grains. oats were steady early
and were helped in the latter part Of
the session by a rally in other grains.
Reports Of seeding in Texas and
claims OF large country reserves were
bearish factors.
