The health department’s complaint and the fire warden’s complaint are well-founded. Mother Ryther and her friends are remedying the faults as fast as possible. But Dr. Lippincott cannot wait.

AND N Reserves Are Thrown Into Great Battle PARIS, Sept. 26. t. 26.—Hand-to-hand fight- ing between the allies’ left and the Germans’ right was reported by the military authori- ties this evening. Germany had thrown its first and sec- ond lines of reserves against the Franco- British front, it was stated, and Gen. Joffre was heavily reinforcing the allies. A German defeat at this point would involve a retreat of the kaiser’s troops into Belgium, Luxemburg, and Germany, ex- perts declared, but a German victory * * * 9 Be imperil the allies’ lines everywhere. ‘ Continued furious fighting, but no decisive change in conditions in France was indicated by the official war office today. “On our left,” said the report, “the battle continues withthe great- est violence between the rivers Somme and Oise and bétween the O and Soissone-on-the-Alsne. “Our troops have progressed slightly today on the Alsne, and the Germans have not attempted a fresh attack. “Between Soissons and Rheims there have been no important changes. “At the center, from Rheims to Verdun, the situation remaing un- changed. “In the Woever district the Germans succeeded In crossing the Meuse, in the vicinity of St, Mihiel, but our troops attacked them in force and threw their lines back across the river. “South of the Woevre district, our troops continue to make prog- ress. The German 14th corps corpshas been repulsed with the heaviest losses. In Lorraine and the Vosges German effectiveness has been re- duced somewhat. “So far as the eastern theatre of war is concerned, the Russians have captured Rzerzow, on the railroad leading to Cracow, and two for tified positions north and south of Przemysl. “The Germans seem to be fortifying themselves north of Kalisz.” “BILL IS PASSED More boys ‘than, girls will be born in the next generation, is WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.— By a viva voce vote the senate the prophecy of L.
