just about half the deaths in that state

others, or about 1! per cent, are divided
between accidents, miscellaneous

record OF that state is not far from
average.
Health departments are fighting
germs. as they should, for IS per cent

sity of doing something for the 80 per

The majority of these deaths AND the
diseases, disablements. and disorders

faulty habits. For instance. of the 20

WHooPIMG COUGH.

A boy D years of age. who had never
had whooping cough was exposed to
menced to cough. Cough came in
paroXysms. Within a few days it vas
noticed that he coughed worse at night.
The mother, who did not know of the
exposure to w%hooping cough. thought
the boy had a bad cold. She took his
temperature and found that it was
1908. She sent for a physician. The
n tonsils scarcely explained the
cough. Els chest sounds indicated
bronchitis, and that was all.
The fact that the paroxysms were
worse at night caused him to warn the
mother about whooping cough. The
next night the boy vomited while
coughing. The doctor then felt rea-
sonably certain OF the diagnosis. He
examined h under surface of the boys
tongue and found a small ulcer near
the middle line. Tho next night, 10
days after the cough began, the moth
er heard the boy draw in his breath as
ne coushed. making a peculiar sound.
She recognized the whoop. The dag
nosis was established.
Whooping cough is extremely on
tasious. Bredert says that IS per CEN
OF children who have neve had it will
take it il exposed. The disease is high
~ fata! among babies under IS months
OF age, 1t produces complications
which make il a serious disease in chill
dren of IN age.
The disease is most contagious in it's
earliest stage II much before there is
any whooping. The bacillus which
causes it. can be found in the sputum
from n first coughing spell until
o four weeks after the onset of the
illness.
An editorial in the Journal of the
American Medical association says that
IN quarantine is lifted at the
n OF 0 weeks unless there is a
positive culture .
Various boards of health have tried
to put the diagnosis Of whooping cough
on the same basis as that of diphtherla
suits of laboratory tests before the
whoop appears. The Danes hold plates
of culture media in front Of the mouth
Of the coughing child.
In New York City, they have been
running successful whooping cough
clinics for some time. Through these
clinics they found cases thai would
never have been reported otherwise:
tney diagnosed cases i'll which there
was no whooping; they taught. parents
the dangers of this treacherous disease
and they established the value Of vac
cine when used early.
The journal quotes ~Doernberger as

WILL THE GERMANS
ATTACK EAST OR WEST

! that there would be no allied drive in
the west this year. unless the British
ATTACKED in Belgium or the French in
Lorraine. Such tactics would neces-
state the evacuation of the most OF
France, but it would enable the Ger
mans to shorten their front another 40
miles. and, granted that they were as
successful as they have so far been in
the present retreat. it would bring no
military disadvantage.
Again. surprising that the war were
prolonged through next winter and
German foods and materials held nut
1T would be possible again for the Ger
mans to retire NEXT year 10 Il line from
Antwerp in front Of Brussels through
Nafnu1 to Mezieres. This would me-
c"ssitate tie evacuation If tho seacuast
Of Belgium and of Z~eebrugge. to which
The will hold as long us they
can, because it is Il convenient base for
submarine operations. But il would
again entail no serious military loss. 1t
would once more very greatly shorten
the German front. thus saving men,
and it would not bring the allies with
in dangerous distance of the German
frontier.
! Such a program as this may or may
not lie within German calculations.
What 1 desire now to point out is that
mcthodical retirements may he carried
out from "a of the lines which the
German has prepared in France and in
Belgium. if it he the military policy
or Ri.ldenburg to avoid a battle in the
vest, as he has now. temporarily at
least, avoided u renewal OF the battle
of the Somme
And present indications do seem to
point toward a determination on the
part of the Germans to avoid a batJ,e in
the west this year. although it remain
conceivable that they will attack either
in FLANDERS, Champagne or Lorraine.
70 judge from what the German papers
are now beginning to say, it would app
pear tina their policy is to retire in add
n of q decisive battle with their
most dangerous enemies-the British
and the French and make their chief
effort not against Russia, OF III the
Balkans, u actually to rely upon their
submarine campaign, il not to bring
England to her knees, at least to bring
her to the point where she will consent
to Il negotiated peace.
1t is well to remember that we lave
as vet no hint of the actual German
strategy, apart from the possible evid-
ence of retirement between Arras and
scissors. We may fairly accept this re-
tirement as IN evidence OF allied sue
cess in the battle of the Somnle hut we
cannot see in it as yet any evidence OF
the breakdown of German morale or the
Weakening of the defensive power of the
German in the west-that is. Il weaken
ing which points to an immediate and
decisive ending of the war.
We have just seen the first move in
the greatest campaign the world has
ever known. This move has been made
by the Germans. C~onceivabl:- it is TO be
