DRIVE SLOWING UP.

Slowly assuming the shape of a
giant ploughshare. the German drive
in Picardy has come almost to a halt

Teutonic offensive Stands now. il ex-

they stood in 1916.

the French part Of the line. The Ger

The first is that the French over a

At the present moment the allied
world is looking anxiously for news
of the success of the French thrust
into the flan kof the German forces.
The fact that the drive progressed
rapidly and cut a deeD notch into the
German-held ground in the region OF
Noyon may indicate that this move
ment is the counter offensive which
has been expected for the last three
DAYS.
Progress by the French into the

Garrison, state health officer, called the attention of all county health officers, county super intendents and examiners to the fact that the compulsory vaccination law goes into effect Sunday, Sept. 10th, after which time all teachers and school students will be required by state law to be vaccinated. pr. Gar rison also recommended that as matter of public safety anti-typhoid serum be administered also. Serum for this purpose will be furnished by the health department. Following is Dr. Garrison's letter, in part, quot ing the state law on vaccination:
 No person shall be entered as teacher, employe or pupil in public or private school in this state with out having first presented to the principal in charge, or the proper au- thorities, a certificate from licensed and competent physician of this state certifying that the said teacher, em- ploye or pupil has been successfully vaccinated; or in lieu of certificate certifying a recent vaccination done in a proper manner by a competent physician. or a certificate showing immunity from having had smallpox. The responsibility for the enforce ment of this regulation shall rest equally on each and every member of the school board, the superintendent, principal or teacher in charge, and the parent or guardian of the pupil, and each of them shall be separately and individually liable for permitting any violation of this regulation Ii in the discretion of the health officer having jurisdiction, any person to whom this regulation applies shall have physical disability which may contraindicate vaccination, a certlfl- cate to that effect, issued by the said health officer, stating the contra-in- dication, may be accepted in lieu of a certificate of vaccination, provided that the exemption shall not apply when such disability shall have been removed"
