HUNTING GERM OF PARALYSIS
Developments in Battle With Dis
ease Among Children.

New York, Jly 13.-"An important
development in connection with the
epidemic of infantile paralysis was
promised by DR.. H. Emerson, commits
sioner of the health department, to-
day, when he announced that there
viii be a conference tomorrow Of the
physicians conducting the battl e
against the disease.
The report naturally gained circuIa-
ton that a physician engaged in the
work had met with success in isolat-
ing the germ of the disease for the
first time in medical history, but this
was denied by the health department
in an official manner.
The health department announced
today that in the last twenty-four
hours there have been seventeen
deaths and 1872 new cases. The mum
Der of children in New York City who
have been attacked by the disease is
now 149. A dozen of the deaths to-
day occurred in Brooklyn.

SWIMMERS KILLED BY SHARK
Man and Boy Dragged Down in New
Jersey Creek-Another Boy
Loses Leg.

Matawan, n. J., July ia man
eating shark, which had strayed far
from the Atlantic Ocean, swan
through Raritan Bay and up the Mat
avian Creek this afternoon, killed a
boy swimmer, injured a man so bad
ly that he died two hours later in a
hospital and savagely attacked a sec
ond boy bather, taking away part of
a leg.
The dead boy, Lester Stillwell, was
II years old. His body had not been
recovered. The man, who was at
tackled as he was making a heroic en-
deavor to find the body of the boy
after the shark had dragged him
down, was Stanley Fisher, a popular
young man Of this place. His right
leg was torn and he was so weak that
death resulted from loss of blood. The
third and more fortunate victim of
the monsters afternoons work was
10-year-old Joseph Dunn, a summer
visitor here, who is said to live in
New York.
This is the third time within two
weeks that sharks have claimed the
lives of bathers along the New Jersey
coast. Charles E. VanSant, a youth
of Philadelphia, was killed by one OF
Beach Haven, n. J., July 2. Charles
Bruder of Spring Lake, n. J., was at
tackled and both his legs taken OF by
a shark July 6. He died while men
who went to his rescue were carrying
him ashore.

NAVAL COLLIER GOES DOWN
Crew and so Marines on Board Got
Away in Small Boats Navy
Yard Hears.

Washington, July 15.-The naval
collie Hector went down in shallow
waters near Charleston, S. c., late to-
day and was breaking up, according
to a message received by the Navy
Department tonight from Charleston.
The message added that the collier
was lowering small boats but did not
say whether the 142 persons aboard
had reached rescue ships in safety.
The message was fled at Charleston
at o'clock this afternoon.
The Hector had aboard a crew Of
seventy men and twelve officers and
a detachment of sixty marines who
were on their way from Port Royal,
S. c., to points in Cuba and Santo
Domingo.
Capt F. R. Hunt of the tug Vigilant
reported that the Vigilant had en-
deavored to aid the voIlier today, but
could only approach within three
miles of it on account of high seas.
The last direct message from the col
1ier, received at 4 o'clock, stated that
it was aground and was lowering its
small boats No news has been re
ceived as to whether any Of the boats
got safely away.
Charleston, S. c., July 15.-Offcials
at the navy yard here late tonight
announced that the crew of the naval
collier Hector, which was reported
sunk OF here, had been taken of in
small boats A wireless message, it
was said, had been sent out asking all
vessels to watch for the boats.

BRITISH TROOPS
MAKE new GAINS
Attacks on German Second
Line Surpass Those of
the First of July.
REPULSE COUNTER ASSAULTS
Teutons Unable to Supply Reserves
Fast Enough to Regain Their
Lost Positions.

London, July 15.-Appropriately, on
the day of the French national fete
when every Londoner wore in his but
tonhole a tri-coIor ribbon in honor of
his allies, came the stirring news of
the successful British attack on the
German second line which opened
before dawn and carried q number of
new positions.
The Associated Press correspond
ent at the front describes the attacks
as surprising that of July 1 as a great
spectacle and display of artillery
power. Characteristic of the fighting
throughout the battle of the Somme,
the Germans appeared to be unable
to bring up sufficient reserves to
make successful counter attacks.
Germans Surrender Freely.
A second point, which is empha-
sized by observers on the allied side,
is that in fighting at close quarters
the Germans surrender freely.
Dispatches from Sir Douglas Haig,
and from the press correspondents,
show that the fighting again has been
of the heaviest character. At one
point the Germans, by a furious coun-
ter attack, succeeded in driving the
British out of Bazentin-le-Petit They
Immediately were driven out again by
a British infantry attack, and the vii
Iage remained firmly in British pos
session.
Rritons Steadily Gain.
The days fighting resulted in a
steady increase in British gains, Ieav-
ing them in possession of the enemy's
second position from Bazentin-le-
Petit to Longueval, both inclusive, and
the whole OF Trones wood. A number
of prisoners were taken, including
two colonies and other superior Off
GERS. According to press correspond
ents, fighting was continuing holly
late today, with comparatively small
British losses.
The positions gained today leave
the Germans seriously threatened at
PoZieres, on the main road from Al
bert to Bapaume, whole possession
of the territory around Longueval
brings the British advance into line
with the French at Hardecourt
Little Movement at Verdun.
Another point of significance in the
days official war reports is that the
only actions reported on the Verdun
front were assaults made by the
French. These assaults were noted in
the German official statement which
made no claims Of any German of
fensive action.
The center of interest on the Rus
sian front continues in the Caucasus
where the Russians are maintaining
their successes against the Turks
Fighting on the Stokhod has relapsed
into trench warfare, but west Of the
Stripa, in furious Austrian counter
attacks the Russians have taken an
other 1920 prisoners.

ing him anything bur Old Draper
Dragon.
He had a very big cave for his
home, and il was covered with hang
ing moss and ferns On the very top
Of the cave he had his garden. There
were several little bushes. one tree
which he was extremely proud OF,
and some little wild flowers that came
out very bravely-fOr II was high up
In the air-On top Of this cave.
MANY Lizards and Nevis (they are
Cousins Of the LiZards) and Snails
and Spiders lived In Old Draper
Dragons cave. He said that IT really
was just Ike "a large hotel, but he
liked having so many guests and he
made them feel right at home.
''And, when the Fancy Dress Party
was to be given in his cave he in
vited all his little Friends to come.
Sure enough they accepted with glee.
THE Party was given principally
for the Brownies though. and they
were all supposed TO wear Fancy
Dress and Masks
They all came in g coach drawn
by old Mr.. Noon, for he was invited
to the party too. You see the cave
where Old Draper Dragon lived was
at the top OF the mountain where Mr.
Moon was spending his evenings for q
week or so. And when he heard the
party was TO be a Fancy Dress one
he didn't seem TO mind at all The
Dragons told him he needn't bother
to come in Fancy Dress for il was an
LonOr TO have him any way. But he
did arrive in Fancy Dress as he drew
the coach for the Brownies.
Instead OF being round and fat and
| grinning. Mr.. Moon was in the shape
/ Of a creseent-an beautifully shaped
and curved

side the cave so they could all dance

And later on when they had sup

guests Stories OF the wild escapes he
had had when a young Dragon. ana
