London. An accident recently
brought to light house of mystery in
the heart of fashionable London. Two
workmen, making structural repairs
on a residence near the home of J.
Pierpont Morgan's London home, fell
with riven rafters and were dashed
to death.
At the corOner's inquest the con-
tractor declared the whole house was
dangerous with dry-rot.
"Since 1871" he said, mot a nail
has been driven within its walls, and
no one has entered the living rooms
except the caretaker."
Summon the owner" commanded
the coroner.
"He is dead, sir" was the reply.
"The house recently changed hands
at an executors SALE"
"Then call the caretaker."

there was no wedding. On her mar

tons old line
The Germans did not long hold the
trenches recaptured from the British
northwest of Pozieres on the Somme
front, according to London. The Brit
lsh war office to-day reports the clear
ing of the Germans from nearly all the
trenches in that region in which they
gained footing Sunday.
French Win 100 Yards
The French in the Verdun region
have resumed their hammering tao
tics and according to Paris have re-
captured German trenches in the VauS
Fleury sector east of the Meuse, to a
depth of 100 yards along a 300-yard
front.
Rome announces further advances
for the Italians in their campaign on
the Carso Plateau. southeast of Cor
izia. The official bulletin chronicles
the capture of Austrian entrench-
ments in that region and also positions
further northeast of Gorilla.
The Italians are making rapid
strides in their drive on Austrian ter
ritory, both north and south of Gori-
zia, to-day's dispatches indicate.
In the former direction they have
reached the suburbs of Tolmino IS
miles northeast of Gorilla, according
to unofficial messages which report
the city on fire, and process of evac-
uation by the Austrians, its fall being
momentarily expected.
Closing in on Triest
To the southeast special dispatches
assert, the Italian advance guard has
reached point within 13 miles of
Triest.
The greater part of the Austrian
fleet is reported to have left the har-
Dor of Triest for an unknown destina-
ton. The Austrian naval base of Pola
lies on the Adriatic So miles south
east of Triest. This would naturally
be the refuge of any portion of the
Austrian fleet. which might be at
Triest when the safety of that city
was considered to be menaced.
City of Much Importance
Tolmino, place of only some 2 900
Inhabitants before the war, has been
of chief importance during the period
of hostilities because of the strong
bridgehead established there by the
Austrians in their system for the de-
fence OF the Isonzo region north of
Gorilla. This bridgehead, considered
generally next in Importance to that
of Gorilla, has persistently resisted
Italian attacks. The town itself, how
ever, which has frequently been under
Italian shell fire has previously been
reported abandoned by the Austrians,
but these reports have never been
confirmed.
The Italian Navy has lost one of it's
big dreadnaughts. according to a
Tueran dispatch through Paris, which
tells of the blowing up of the $4,000
ton Leonardo De Vinci in laramie har-
Dor as the result of a fire. OF the
crew 800 were drowned.

clans were advised to-day. by DR.. Abra-
ham Zingher. of Willard Parker Hos
pital, to try the use of normal blood
serum obtained from parents as a
method of rendering their children i'm
mune to infantile paralysis. Many cases
of this disease have been treated in
Willard Parker Hospital during the
present epidemic. The theory on which
DR.. Zingher and his assistants are
working is that the blood of a normal
adult contains the antibodies which
neutralize the virus of poliomyelitis.
Some physicians believe the presence
of these antibodies rs due to the fact
that the parents have had the disease
in an unrecognized form. 1t is stated
that If the theory of the antibodies
is correct, the blood serum treatment
may prove as effective in preventing
infantile paralysis as vaccination is in
preventing typhoid.
