Vienna, September 2.—Lemberg has fallen. The Austrians
withdrew toward the south to avoid bombardment. The Austri
ans are hard pressed from the Dneister river to the Prussian
frontier. It is evident that the Russians have abandoned the
offensive against Germany in an attempt to crush the entire
Austrian army at one blow.
Two million Russians face a million Austrians. The abandon
ment of Lemberg has enabled the invaders to isolate the Austri
ans in Russian Poland. The losses are appalling with no time to
bury the dead and collect the wounded. The battle surges over
them.
r RUSSIANS ANNIHILATE AUSTRIAN BRIGADES.
United Press Dispatch.
St. Petersburg, September 2.—Another sweeping Russian
victory over the Austrians is reported-today to supplement the
victories of Lemberg and near the Russian-Poland frontier. The
war office announces that the Russian army’s left wing on
the Dneister has captured a supposedly impregnable Austrian
position, heavily garrisoned.
With bayonets the Russians swept over the entrenchments,
routing the Austrians. Five thousand Austrians were found
dead on the field and the Russians captured 32 big guns and a
thousand prisoners, including the commanding general. As a
result of this victory the left army is now co-operating with the
center and the retreat of the Austrians seriously menaced.
The Austrian center has been penetrated and both wings crum
pled back upon the outer lines. ,
The grand duke reports a sweeping victory in the bloodiest
battle of modern times. The Russian losses were large, but far
less than the Austrians, entire Austrian brigades being annihi
lated. . , I
It is admitted that two army corps in Eastern Prussia have j
been defeated. '■
The war office insists that the march on Berlin will be re
sumed as soon as the Austrians are annihilated.

GERMANS NEAR —PARISIANS SCOFF AT SIEGE. !
United Press Dispatch. j
Paris, September 2.—The French center is still holding the
war office announced today. It is believed that this indicates
the attempts of the Germans to break the allied armies in two
and surround the left has failed.
The Allies are intact and can continue to withdraw, but be
ready to assume the offensive when the German losses and the ,
necessity of aiding the Eastern armies, forces the invaders to
weaken their front.
The supreme effort of the in vaders having failed to crush
the Allies, any siege of Paris subject to flank attacks would
finally prove disastrous. Paris is more optimistic than for ten
days.
The war office admitted that the retiring movement of the
French left before superior num bers continues. The French,
however are slowly advancing in the Lorraine and the vicinity
of the Vosges.
A general battle is in progress in the vicinity of the Meuse
and the left is engaged along the line extending from Montdidier
Forest Campeign. The heaviest fighting is in the vicinity of
Montdidier, where the German infantry is in great strength and
a large German advance guard has been partly surrounded in the
Forest Campeign, under a fierce artillery fire. Campiegne is j
less than fifty miles from Paris.
General Pau, the popular hero, is now commanidng the Allies’
left.
Despite the nearness of the Germans and the admissions '
that the French left is giving ground, thegeneral staff doesn’t be
lieve that a complete siege is pos sible. Unable to shatter or iso
late the Allies’ lines, the invaders are reported to be showing
evidence of complete exhaustion.
The Germans are now opera ting many miles from their base
and the last German reserves are believed to be in action. The
French engineers insist that the Paris fortifications will hold,
and declare that the Germans cannot bring sufficient troops to
encircle the city.

INVESTIGATE LOCAL
MALARIAL CONDITIONS
I
.
Physicians From United States
Public Health Service Work
ing Here—Lectuhe At
Court House To
night.
Doctors D. M. Molloy and H. A.
Taylor of the U. S, Public
Health Service, arrived in New
port from Marked Tree Tues-'
day afternoon. These gentle
men are conducting investiga
tions to determine the preval
ence, distribution and modes of
dissemination of the malarial
fevers in the Eastern portion of
Arkansas.
This work was begun last
year by Dr. R. H. von Ezdorf, a
surgeon in the Public Health
Service, who was placed in
charge of these investigations
by Surgeon General Rupert
Blue. Dr. von Ezdorf is now in
the State, but was unable to ac
company Doctors Taylor and
Molloy here, on account of en
gagement for similar work in
North Carolina and Virginia,
where he and his party go on
completion of the work which
they are now doing in Stutt
gart.
Dr. Frank B. Young, State
Health Officer, is now with Dr.
von Ezdorf, but will probably
join Doctors Molloy and Taylor
here today.
Dr. Molloy, when seen by an
Independent reporter, said that
the object of these investigations
is three-fold:
First—To determine, by the
means of blood examinations,
the number or per centage of in
dividuals in the community who
are “carriers” of malaria. In
explaining the term “carriers”,
Dr.'. Molloy and Taylor state
that their investigations, so far,
indicate that one out of ten or
twelve “well” individuals have
the malarial poison—which is an
animal parasite, or germ— in
their blood. Consequently these
individuals are called “carriers”,
because it is from this source
that the Anopheles, or malarial
bearing mosquitoes, get the in
fection, which they transmit to
well individuals.
Second—To determine where
possible, the source from which |
ihe community gets its malarial
; bearing mosquitoes. When prac
; ticable, a survey is made for the
purpose of locating the breeding
places of mosquitoes. This is
i always done in company with the
local health officer, who in this
way. becomes familiar with local
conditions responsible for mos
quito breeding.
( Third— Educational. Public
lectures, illustrated by means of
jstereoptican pictures, are de
livered in each community visit
ed. Lectures are given to blacks
^nd whites separately but the
j colored people are not overlook
ed in the effort to educate the
public, since they are the prin
^uitocs become infected and thqjr
protection is absolutely necessa
ry if the effort to control or e
radicate malaria in any commu
nity is to be successful.
When possible, demonstration
of the life history of the mosqui
to is given and for this purpose
Mr. Hillhouse and Rev. L. W.
Heaton, local Scout Masters,
have ordered the local company
of Boy Scouts to report for a
“mosquito hike” this afternoon.
Dr. Molloy will accompany the
scout masters and scouts on this
search for mosquito-breeding
places, and will show them the
types of breeding places re
sponsible for the Anopheles and
other mosquitoes, demonstrate
the method of identifying the
larvae or “wigglers” of differ
ent kinds of mosquitoes, as well
as the adult mosquito after it
emerges from the water, etc. •
Dr. Taylor will continue to
take blood specimens, assisted
by local physicians, who have
volunteered their help.
“Malaria is a man to mosquito
and mosquito to man disease”,
says Dr. Molloy, “and its natural
historwof many be illustrated
graphically by the “endless
chain”—man—mosquito —man.
This chain must be broken some
where if we are to eradicate ma
laria.”
In answer to the question if
malaria may not be acquired in ■
any way except by the bite of £
the Anopheles mosquito, Dr. • |
Molloy was very emphatic:^Ab
solutely the only way!” he ax- 1
claimed. “If there are any
doubting Thomases in Newport m
get them out to the lecture at 4
the court house tonight, and I’ll
guarantee that they will be con- M
vinced—unless they beloi
