FUTURE RACES TO BE IMMUNE TO DISEASE
By NEA Service


 Washington = In the distant fu- ture, according to a report of the U. s. Public Health Service, various races will develop an immunity to disease and the ravages brought about by death-dealing germs now will be wiped out.
 The basis for this report is the fact that some racial groups have already established immunity against diseases. For the most part, these groups belong to the civilized world and their bodies, through constant contact with such diseases as humps measles, chicken pox and others, ahve acquired a natural protection against them.
 Tt has been characteristic of the human body, especially that of the present-day individual, to sur- vive the attacks of various germs by forming protective substances. which like soldiers or policemen, guard and destroy injurious invading germs," the departments report states.
 A $20.00O,000 steel plant is to be erected in the Yangtze Valley, China.

 in the minds of the investigators
 Although the testimony of a neighbor of the three women, made to the police, that shots were heard from the girls apartment on the night of October l6, the investi- gators are unable to determine definitely whether the slayings were perpetrated there.
 l Blood Spots { A few blood spots were found. A portion of a carpet is missing and a mattress of bed is missing. This leads the police to believe l that one of the bodies might have been dismembered there. No trace i has been found of the mattress. Charred bits of carpet were !, found in a fireplace. This had been torn out of the floor carpet. | Shot Through Head Both women had been shot through the head.
 i One body was cut up, evidently by an experienced person. The three women had not been seen since 9:45 o'clock on the night of October 16. The body of Miss Leroy was in one trunk found in Los Angeles.
 In the other trunk was the 1 hacked and mutiliated body of Miss Samuelson. In a valise were other parts of the latter's body.
 Judd Offers Aid
 In Los Angeles, Dr. w. O. Judd offered to aid the police in the search fer his wife and said he wished the police would permit him and her brother, B. J. Mo- Kinnell, senior student at Los Angeles university, to start on a hunt for her.
 In a radio broadcast last night, Dr. Judd asked his wife to sur render
 T believe my wife will find me | in some way. Then we can start to unravel this appalling mystery. She 
 is quiet and of the refined type and there is nothing vicious or criminal in her makeup"
 Mrs. Judd is described as a blonde, pretty, weighing about 100 pounds. She is fragile, blue-eyed I and about five feet and four inches tall

Division toward Vigneulles with all pos
sible speed
That evening a strong force from the
51st Brigade pushed boldly forward
and reached Vigneulles at gas am. the
18th. 1t Immediately made dispositions
that effectively closed the roads leading
out of the salient west Of that point.
In the 4th Corps the I'd Brigade Of the
1st Division advanced IN force about
dawn of the 18th, its leading elements
reaching Vigneulles by 6 am. The
salient was closed and our troops were
masters of the field.
The troops continued to advance on
the 18th, when the line was estab-
lished approximately along the final
detectives set for this offensive. In
view of the favorable situation created
just west of the Moselle River by our
successes farther to the left, limited
attack was made on that part of the
front by elements of the SD and Goth
Divisions, with good results.
During the night our troops all along
the line were engaged in organizing
their new positions for defense, pre-
paratory to the withdrawal Of divisions
and corps troops for participation in
the Meuse- Argonne battle. September
IA, Is and 16, local operations con-
tinued, consisting of strong recon-
ground for defensive purposes. Begin
ming the 18th several counter attacks
were repulsed. The line as finally
established was Haudiomont, Fresnes-
en-Woevre, Doncourt Jaulny Wanderers
Retreated in Disorder.
Reports received the 18th and 14th
indicated that the enemy was retreat
ing in considerable disorder. Withoat
doubt an immediate continuation of the
advance would have carried us well
beyond the Hindenburg line and pos
sibly into Metz, and the temptation to
press on was very great. But we would
probably have become deeply involved
and delayed the greater Meuse- Argonne
operation, to which we were wholly
committed.
During the fighting from September
IL to 16, the German l25th, 9th Land
wehr, 18th and 28th Divisions reinforced
the enenly's line and several other d.
visions arrived in reserve positions. Sep
TENDER 16, in front of the LIST Army.
there were 10 German divisions and 2
brigades in line, and divisions in re-
serve.
Nearly 10000 prisoners were taken
and some $50 enemy guns had fallen
into our hands. Our casualties num-
beSed about 1000. AS the enemy re-
treated he set fire to many large supply
dumps and several villages. The few
remaining French inhabitants who
found themselves within our lines were
over joyed to be released from the domi-
nati,n of the enemy, but many were left
destitute by the burning of their homes
at the very moment of deliverance.
On the 18th, Gen. Petain came by my
