Offensive Recently Launched Against Austrians on the Carso Plateau Has Met \Vith Great Success-- The uccess--Tits Losses to the Teutons Are Estimated to Have Been Over 40,000 Hien. LONDON, Nov.. 7.—The Italians are firmly established on the new line which they have captured on the front between a point east of Gorizia and the sea, and they are engaged in completing the consolidation of their positions, Here and there along their line they attacked points jutting out as salients and broke them off so as to straighten their line. Fifty pris- oners were taken in these operations. The Italians are now proceeding with the seige of Castagnievizaa, which the Austrians had strongly fortified with machine guns and other implements of resistance. This place is being violently bombarded: by the attackers, and it is expected that it will be stormed by bombing squads in a short time. The Austrians lost 41,090 men during the first two days of the new Italian offensive, according to wire, less reports from Rome, Or these, in round figures, 10,000 were killed,. twice that number wounded and 10,062 captured. General Bartle - vita, ox the Austrian command, after having been forced to with-, draw three divisions, has asked for reinforcements, according to these despatches, The Italians Saturday pressed for - Ward in the direction of the Wippaeh valley. advancing more than a kilo- metre, taking 553 prisoners. They also have practically invested Castog- niovizza, on the Carso. "Since the offensive on the Italian front began, on August 6," says Sun- day's Rome War Office report, "we have taken in all 40,365 prisoners, Including 1,008 °dicers." Despatches from the front state that the figbting on the Carso plat- eau is assuming the most desperate character. Desperate fighting mark- ed the Italian capture of Veliki Kri- bash, which the Austrians stubborn- ly defended for hours, although their fortifications and trenches had been wrecked, The Austrians when they saw the Italian flag en the crest of the height launched several violent counter-attacks, all of which were re- pulsed. The largest number of prisoners taken at any one point was made possible. The Austrian losses were heavy. Their dead and wound- ed choked the trenches, Mount Pecinka was carried by the bayonet. The Austrians had been sure that the Italians would not be able to climb the steep slopes, King 'Victor Emmanuel and the Duke of Aosta were with the troops throughout the day, shouting encour- agement every time the infantry charged. The correspondent at the front for the Idea Nazionale says he saw the King, overjoyed, congratulating sev- eral section commanders, The Rome Tribuna's correspondent at the front wires that at the end of the first day of fighting the Austrians evacuated their entire first line and fell back to the second, which "is de- stined to fall like the first." The morale of the Italian troops, he de- clares, is the highest. An Armament Race. PARIS, Nov. 7.—The war's final phase, inaugurated this week, is in the form of the most dramatic arma- ment race the world has ever seen. Mr. von Stein has announced that Germany, surprised on the Somme by the Entente Allies' superior output, began at once to increase hugely her supplies of guns and shells. "Every particle of the country's energy must be devoted to -the production of mu- nitions," said Marshal von Hinden- burg, commander-in-chief. "I've come straight from the Somme," said General von Stein. "We must do. everything in our power to surpass the enemy's gun and shell output. I'm going to apply myself to this task." Last March the Allies began their greatest munitions effort and this month they are taking up Germany's workshop challenge, so that the world -war in this coming winter will b6 fought principally in European munitions plants. Victory next spring will go to the . side able ta project the largest and deadlielt shell screens. Broken Lock Caused Flood. ST. CATHARINES, Nov. 7.—Many acres of Tarin and garden property adjacent to the northern boundary of St. Catharines were inundated Sun- day evening and considerable dam- age caused when the steamer J. H. :t1$gley, of Sarnia, 400 tons, com- manded by Captain C. Thompson, SIM laden with coal from Erie, Pt., ISO Toronto, smashed two footgates of, lock No. 7, allowing the contents Of the level above, one mile in length and the longest below the Lake Erie level, to pour into the very small level below. All valves in the locks and waste 'weirs below were opened to relieve the overflow, and the lock tenders at No. 7 threw safety cables On, the headgates and saved them. Be - s Else of this, and the fact that at this season of the year gardens are nit so valuable, the loss against the steamer will not be as great, but will likely reach $12,000. Success in East Africa. LONDON, Nov. 7. — An official cortimunication dealing with the sit- uation in East Africa made public by the War Office Sunday night says: "Advices from East Africa report the overthrow at dawn on October 30 by Brig. -Gen.

D.P.H., CHIEF OFFICER.�" wOF THE PROVINCIAL BOARD OF HEALTH. ii•' INFANTILE PARALYSIS. THIS IS A DISEASE of a portion of the front part of the sp' vtl cord. It occurs chiefly in young children of from two years to fouri'en years, but may occur in adults. In Ontario we have occae.'onal cases every year, but the severe outbreak which has existed in New York and other places in the United States has mad, our people anxious lest a similar epidemic may occur in this Province. Some cases are severe, giving symptoms such as high fever, vomi, ing, headache, and pains in the limbs succeeded by severe paralysis of groups of muscles. Others are very mild with perhaps few or no symptoms beyond loss of appetite, a little rise of temperature and perhaps some vomit tag, or there may be no symptoms to attract attention until the child shows some weakness in the legs or arms accompanied by some slight soreness. it is thought that the very mild cases, often unrecognized, are the ones whieh spread the disease. It is believed that the disease is carried from one patient to another through the medium of the discharges from the nose, throat, and intestines. It may be carried by flies which have ample opportunity of coming into contact with the discharges. In order that the chances of a widespread outbreak may be minimized as much as possible, the following precautions are required by the Provin- cial Board: PRECAUTIONS AGAINST (1) Every CASE must be quarantined for THE DISEASE a period of SIX weeks. (2) All children who have bean in con- tact with a case must be quarantined and kept under observation for a period of TWO weeks. (3) Adult membersof the family who are wage-earners may he allowed to go about their work subject to the regulations of the Provincial Board and on the discretion of the Medical Officer of Health. (4) Where there is an outbreak gatherings of children, such as at picnics, picture, shows, and playgrounds, should be prohibited. (5) The source of origin of each case should be can+sfully enquired into in order that proper quarantine may be maintained. (6) In houses where cases appear all doors and windows should be screened, the premises kept clean, and no accumulation of garbage or waste permitte. (7)d•All cases should be at once notified to the Medical Officer of Health, and by him to the Chief Officer of the Provincial Board. (8) Mild cases, showing slight- headache, rise of temperature, and vomiting persisting for a few days, with slight muscular weakness and absence of paralysis, should be quarantined. These are probably one of the chief sources of contagion. The keystone of the prevention of infantile paralysis is to get track of the cases and carriers and to control them. (9) As Infantile Paralysis is a most serious disease and in the present epidemic giving a high death -rate, the public is urged to second the efforts of the authorities in every way in order to prevent a severe outbreak in the Province. (10) All materials such as cloths, etc., carrying secretions and dis- charges from patients should be burned, boiled, or disinfected. For several days the course of Infantile Paralysis is that of an old ua ; 7 infectious disease. Between the first and sixth days more or less mu:a:u:„.:^ weakness begins. This is generally preceded by soreness in the limbs. ,f the child isnot under the care of'a physician parents should take note of a. complaint or evidence of this soreness and call their doctor's attention to it. The muscles may be tested by having the patient draw his knees up against•the resisting hand or by having him push his feet against resistance. In from one or two weeks electrical tests will show that the muscles and nerves are degenerating. This keeps up for about six months. In two or three weeks the shrinking of the muscles is apparent to the eye. Sona cases Show little or no degeneration of muscles. In all cases it is a gradual process. `This should be begun as soon as the temperature becomes normal and the soreness in the muscles has subsided. The limb affected should be given gentle manipulation: the muscles should be TREATMENT OF MUSCLES lightly pinched and kneaded between the fingers, using vaseline or cocoa butter to make the fingers run smoothly. Manipulation of the paralyzed limbs must be persisted in. Don't let ;any quack, osteopath; or chiropractor interfere with it. There is no magic about it. Patient, persistent work will: ria necessary to accomplish results'- It is remarkable the results that can be obtained by these simple methods of treatment.
