FRENCH SUFFERED REVERSE.
Pushed Back on High Plateaus Defend
ing Chemin des Danes.

London, July 24.-Germany's heavy of.
fensive north of the Aisne continued
Sunday night and at two points pushed
back the French, who in spite of the bit
terest resistance have been compelled in
the past week to give up the northern
edges of several high plateaus defending
the Chemin des Danes, which they won
in the spring.
The enemy penetrated teh first line on
the Classmates plateau and held part of
it in the face of counter attacks. On the
California plateau the French front line
was captured.
Yesterday Gen. Petain's men recovered
some ground near Cerny.
The official statement issued by the
French war Office last night says:
East of Cerny we made some prog
ress in the course of small operation
and took prisoners. In the region of
Hurtebise and Craonne the bombardment
continued very violent against our posi-
tions, chiefly on the California plateau.
There was infantry action. Eight hun
dred and fifty shells were fired against
Rheims during the course of the day.
"In Champagne the Germans last
night delivered an attack on our trenches
northwest of Mont Carnillet, but were
completely REFUSED after spirited en-
gagement.
"Our batteries were very active against
the German organizations in the region
of Moronvilliers. There was intermit-
tent cannonading on the rest of the
front. A German long-range gun this
morning fired about hundred shells in
the region north of Nancy. There were
no casualties and the damage is insig-
nificant. In retaliation we effectively |
shelled batteries at Chateau Salins.
Belgian communication: There was
great artillery activity along the whole
front to-day"

SECOND CASE PROVEN.
Murray Child of Division Street in South
End Has Poliomyelitis.

| Another case of poliomyelitis was re
ported to the health department last
night when the illness of Mary Murray
the three year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. George Murray of Division street

tiles have satisfied themselves that the
disease was contracted in the Ross fam
lily on Rowland street, where lax quar-
antine measures are said to have been
used before the case of the Ross baby
was finally reported to Health Officer
j. w Stewart. Thus far in the case of
the Murray child the malady has been
manifested in light form, only one of
the baby's hips being affected.
At city hall last evening the alder
manic health committee and the local
board of health came together for a con-
ference and before adjournment the may

places of business were ordered closed

legged wrong tactics and discrimination in
the matter of quarantine as regulated
by the board of health. At times the
grew acrimonious.
Dr. Stewart, who is the active mem
Der of the board, takes the stand that
a week or two of strict quarantine at
this time may preclude the necessity
for a long suspension later in the season.
He believes that the measures are JUS

authorities in prohibiting the landing
here Sunday of several excursions from
that state.
Another cause of the offense felt by
ing by Col Wolf of all passes to men
contemplating a trip into that state be-
cause of the infantile paralysis epidemic
reported there.
This information was conveyed to a
member of the camp in kilograms re-
ceived from Senator Page yesterday,
who theatens to visit the camp him
self and see about it.
Col. Wolf told newspaper men that
he did not know whether there was or
was not infantile paralysis across the
lake, but that the state board of health
general, who reported it to Col. Wolf.
Acting on that information, he said he
had ordered all passes for men going
into Vermont revoked and that the or
der will stand until the surgeon general
ordered otherwise.
The camp authorities are not respon-
sible for the stopping of excursion par
ties from across the lake coming in here.
The local board of health took that
step, but Col Wolf told the newspaper
men last night that had the local au-
thorities been backward in the matter
he would have acted himself.

Notwithstanding the enormous with

IN hundreds of instances, apparently, the
purchasers of large allotments also paid

Because of the immense amount of
