PARALYSIS AMONG
INFANTS SPREADS
Many Towns and Cities Are
Quarantining Against All
Children from New York.
TH1RTY.Two MORE DIE

New York, July ll.-A large in
crease in the number of deaths and
new cases in the epidemic OF infantile
paralysis was reported today. Dur
ing the last twenty-four hours 1876
new cases developed in the five bor-
oughs of New York City and there
were thirty-two deaths.
This is an increase Of more than
100 per cent in the number of deaths
resulting from the plague in the TWEEN
ty-four hours ending at 10 o'clock this
morning compared with the previous
twenty-four-hour record. In Brook
Ign sixty-eight new cases were re-
ported yesterday. against ls5 today.
There are now total of ,278 cases Of
infantile paralysis in the greater city.
Deaths since the outbreak Of the
scourge number 270.
Communities Immediately surround
ing New York City show increasing
fear that they will be infected with
infantile paralysis from children flee
ing the plague in the metropolis. A
number OF cities and towns in New
Jersey and New York have estab-
lished guarantees and some are
turning back children from New York
City. Paterson. N. J.; has excluded
all children, no matter from whence
they come. 1t was announced there
that 500 children from New York
City already have been deported.
The city magistrates are co-operat-
ing with the police and health au-
thorities in the fight against the cpl
demic. 1t is estimated that more
than 1000 persons were fined yester-
day for violations Of the sanitary code.
Most of the offenders threw gar
bage into the street or left garbage
cans uncovered or in other ways
broke the rules for keeping the city
clean. q

EXAMINATIONS TO
Be STARTED TODAY
Fight for Positions in Annual
Omaha Speedway Races
This Afternoon.
ALL BUT FOUR CARS ON JOB
BY FRED s. HUNTER.

The elimination trials which will
determine those drivers who will be
permitted to participate in the annual
Omaha speedway races Saturday, and
also the positions in which they will
lineup to receive the flag, will be
started at the speedway this after
noon at 8 o'clock.
In order to qualify for the gasoline
classic, a speed Of at least seventy
five miles an hour must be attained.
But the pilots will not be content to
negotiate a mere seventy-five miles
an hour in the eliminations. Far be
it from such. For upon the speed
made in the eliminations depends
participation in the big race.
Only sixteen cars will be allowed
to take the track in the l50-mile
derby. There are twenty-three cars
entered. Thus seven cars must be
eliminated. And it will be the seven
slow cars which will be forced out.
In addition position at the start OF
the race depends upon the speed. The
car turning the fastest lap will be
awarded the pole, the second fastest
car second position and so on down
the scale to the sixteenth car which
will bring up in the rear.
All But Four Here.
All but four Of the twenty-three
drivers are now in Omaha. Hughie
Hughes, who will pilot Charles
Devlin's Duesenberg, and Ira Vail,
who tools Hudson, are the latest to
arrive,
Earl Cooper, Tommy Milton, Billy
Muller and c. w. Thompson are the
only pilots who have not put in an
appearance Muller, who tools the
Dams L'Argent, is driving his car
overland from Minneapolis and lust
before he reached Sioux City he
cracked his frame. He stopped off
in Sioux town yesterday to have it
welded and is expected to day, or
Thursday at the latest.
No word has been received from
Tommy Milton, D'Alene's Duesen-
berg teammate, but he is expected to-
day or tomorrow. Cooper and
Thompson probably will be unable
to get here. Both are broken up and

Russian Iron Proves to Be
Stronger Than German Steel


Petrograd (via London), July IL
A dispatch to the Russky Siovo from
southwestern headquarters says:

available forces of the strategical re-
serves in France. The first troops
sent to support the Austrians were the
Tenth Imperial corps, including the
Twentieth Brunswick, the so-called
steel DIVISION concerning whose
proves numerous legends have
arisen in Germany.
The corps reached Vladimir
Volynski and was hurled next day
against General Kaledine's army. The
collision occurred at Kiselin, half way
between Vladimir Volynski and
Lutsk. The onslaught Of the German
steel division was met by Russian
division which in the earlier stages of
the war won the name OF the Iron
division. Advancing to the attack, the
Germans fred tens of thousands Of
shells IN an uninterrupted cannonade
for four days and nights; then
charge followed charge and one after
another broke. Russian iron was
proof against German steel.
During short lull on the evening
OF the second day the Germans dis
played signboards above their
trenches bearing the inscription,

the German steel, but all the same, we
