ALLIES DRIVE
WEDGE FARTHER
INTO GERMANS
Both French and British Ex-
tend Gains Along Somme;
Capture Trench Systems

Both the British and the French on
the Somme front report a successful
continuation of their effort to drive
the point of the wedge created by
their prolonged offensive further into
the German lines.
This point at present projects across
the Peronne- e-Bapaume road at Sally
Saillisel. Last night the French again
struck the German front here and ac-
cording to the Paris war office cap
tured a system of trenches west of
Sailly-Saillisel, advancing as far as
the Sally church.
Immediately to the northwest at
the conveyance of their front with
that of the French, the British have
been pounding for two days at Ger
man positions near lie Transloy, and
have reported the capture of several
trenches.
Further messages from Amsterdam
to-day said to be based on German
advances reiterate the report that

Il LIVES TOLL.
OF TYPHOID IN
THE CITY ALONE
Many More in County, but the
Records Are Not Yet
Obtainable

Harrisburg's worst typhoid fever
epidemic in years, breaking out in
August and ending during the first
part of last week. has taken a toll of
tWenty-one lives in Harrisburg, and
many more in the county and other
nearby points. records of which are
not yet obtainable.
Hundreds of cases of the fever,
which, health authorities say, were
caused by contaminated ice cream
have been reported in many cities and
towns, breaking records in a number
of these places.
In Harrisburg 355 cases have been
reported since August 16. Two deaths
occurred in August, four in Septemb Der
and fourteen in October. These figures
do not include nonresident deaths at
the Harrisburg Hospital, where scores
of patients were cared for. many of
them being brought here from points
outside of the city.
In 1915 a near epidemic was re-
ported, but they were we'll scattered
and traced almost entirely to outside
sources of contagion. This year, how
ever, health officials. by many weeks
OF careful analysis and investigation,
declared that ice cream containing
typhoid germs was responsible for a
large majority of the cases.
Ban Not Yet Lifted
DR.. j. M. J. Raunick, city health
officer, as soon as he learned definitely
the source of the trouble, urged people
TO stop eating ice cream until it was
declared entirely safe by the CITY
Health Department. This ban has not
been lifted yet, although health and
food officers assert that with few eX-
ceptions all of the ice cream sold now
is up to the standard and does not
contain disease germs. Whenever any
is found to be contaminated, the
manufacturer is ordered not to sell it.
During the last eight years since
accurate city records have been kept

In New York milk is being sold TWEEN
~ per cent cheaper at the distributing
stations, where customers carry their
supply home, than it is to persons to
whom milk is delivered. There ought
to be no reason why the cost of deliv-
cring milk is greater than the cost of
delivering other things which one buys.
and logically one would think that the
merchant could afford to sell goods
cheaper to those who were willing to
carry them home than to those who de-
mand that the goods be delivered. How
ever, the habit of having all things deliv-
cred has become firmly fixed; it has a
place among modern convenienccs
from which it is not easily dislodged
even by the otherwise attractive pros
pect of material decrease in the cost
of living. AT the same time one can
not but give thought as to how much
of the price of our daily necessities 90

Lawyers dominate public affairs for
the reason that they are trained in pub
lie speaking. The old-fashioned l.
ceum, in which men of all ages took
part in the discussion of subjects of
public interest, gave an opportunity
for development for many men outside
the law. a revival of the lyceum
would bring to the front many men of

where in these columns, is most i'm
portant contribution to the literature
of the campaign. Judge Tyler takes
the ground, most properly, that the
duty of the voter was only partially
accomplished by the vote at the pri-
mary, and that, in order to give the
direct system of nominations a fair
test, it is the manifest duty of every
elector to 90 to the polls on Tuesday
and complete the job. 1t would be diff
ficult to state the case more clearly
and convincingly than it has been stat
ed by the distinguished iurist and
student of Vermont public questions.
