by French in Face of
Flanking Attacks
Paris, May 24.--As the result of a
continuous attack on both sides of
the Meuse last night and today the
Germans have won to notable suc-
cesses at the expenditure of a great
number of men. In the fighting to
the east of Le Mort Homme on the
left bank of the river they occupied
the village of Cumieres and took a
trench between the village and Le
Mort Homme. This afternoon on the
east bank,- Fort Douaumont, which
the French recaptured Monday, was
retaken by the Germans.
The retaking of the fort was the re-
sult of the concentration of repeated
attacks of the most desperate charac-
ter against this one point. Two Ba-
varian divisions which were brought
to the Verdun front only recently
were employed against the fort. The
bombardment of this sector had con-
tinued without interruption sincenthe
French took the position and had in-
creased in violence particularly this
afternoon when the already tremen-
dous expenditures of ammunition were
doubled. Even then the first attack,
made without counting the cost in
men, broke down under the French
fire, but the effort was repeated until
at last they again occupied the fort,
long since only a mass of ruins, but

Dlaly ('orrects Error' Made Tluesday
Through an unfortunate mistak In
judgment The Daily published last
Tuesday an article on the alleged dis-
covery of a new method of making
Salvarsan in the chemical laboratory.
It now appears that the article was
misleading in many particulars, and
in others contrary to the' facts. The
Daily regrets having published the ar-
ticle and trusts that those who have
read it will help in checking the false
impression that it created.
Shields Talks to Woodrow Wilson Club
At the initial rally held last evening
in Newberry hall, the Woodrow Wilson

Here his connection with public
health begins. The local health of-
fleer is perhaps zealous about secur-
Ing and keeping a pure milk supply
for his community. He has the usual
troubles that are to be met with in
connection with getting milkmen to
keep clean dairies and to live up to
the local milk ordinance. In many
cases the dairymen obey the order of
the health officer, but there are usually
a few who can be brought into line
only by force.1
The health 'officer is compelled to
have the recalcitrant milkmen arrest-
ed. They are brought before the young
justice of -the peace and from that
point he has it in his power either to
retard the great public health move-
ment in his community orto advance
it. If he has gained a broad vision
of the relation of morality to health,
of the essential criminality of selling
