PLAN CAMPAIGN n PREVENT
 SPREAD IF INFANT TILE PARALYS

Fucker. who with Acting Surgeon General A. II. Glennan, presided over the conference, gave out tonight the following synopsis of the views of the speakers:
 Tt appears to be the concensus of opinion that segregation of persons with the disease is desirable and that opening of schools is also advisable Travel is dangerous when it permits movement of acute or chronic carriers of the disease. The evidence is against insect transmission and transmission by food is hypothetical"
 Reporting on a scientific study of symptoms and control of the epidemic in New York, conducted by many state. city and federal scientists, Sur , geon Wade Frost of the public health service said:
 Frankly we don't know how the dis ease is transmitted, nor it's cause The evidence strongly points to humans as the carriers. The evidence is that it is purely human disease and if con-
 tagious a large proportion of persons | exposed are immune. It must be i spread very largely from sources other / than sick persons, mostly by adults. i Against that is thA .nown seasonal l prevalence. Our theories do not eX- clude transmission by insects. Trans
 mission by the lower animals is hypo- i tactical We hardly suspect any but
 dogs or cats. It's rapid spread indi-
 cates human carriers
 Despite the New York epidemic, ] Surgeon Frost said the most striking
 characteristic of the disease is that it
 IS most severe in rural communities
 rather than in cities He said ninety
 per cent of cases occurred among chill dren under ten years and that the points of infections can be traced to
 previous cases of direct contact. There are flew infections of persons exposed
 in their own families, he stated | Dr. George Draper. of the New York
 health board, said quarantine of par alyzed persons was not effective
 against the men. He said milk pos
 sibly was a source and while at first negroes were believed immune, cases
 lately had appeared among that race
 The following number of cases since
 the outbreak of the present epidemic
 were reported:

 WITH THE RUSSIAN ARMY ON THE RUSSIAN FRONT, Tuesday, Aug. Is, (via Petrograd to London,) Aug. 1.-The continued success of General Brussiloffs two powerful movements, which gradually are enVeloping Kovel and Lemberg. have begun to have marked effect on the situation in the central portion of the front which, ex- cept for small Russian gains in the lake region south of Dvinsk, has re- mained virtually unaltered since the Russians fell back last autumn to the line from Dvinsk to the Pinsk marshes. The Austrian line now has receded so far before the repeated thrusts of the southwestern Russian forces in south ern Poland and Galicia. that the Ger mans are in danger of flanking movement from the south and the automatic retirement of the forces op posed to the Russian center. Notwithstanding the desultory | bursts of activity at various points | Russian officers say there are many indications that the Germans are pre- pared to abandon their present line | on this part of the front at any mo- | ment

Kubanka Wheat Best
For South Dakota.

Trials made BY the agronomy
department, and reported in bulle-
tin l46, have shown that kubanka
durum wheat leads in yield in this
state, followed in order by Bearded
Fife and Bluestem. These tests
were made at Eureka, Highmore.
and Brookings.
Of this variety, associate agrono-'
mist Champlin says: There is a
good deal of Kubanka wheat irs'
the state; but some of it is confused
as to pedigree. That which traces
directly to the department introdu-
ction is limited. The Kubanka
can usually he distinguished from
the ordinary durum wheat by its
short rectangular heads and its
short berries which have u tend
ency to bulge near the germ end.
