Flee Hl.te that three MILITARY EXPERT REVIEWS THE WAR American Observers Expect Allies to Take Offensive This Essential to Success of German Invasion.

The folitnrina rnedgtt) of the military situation in l'nnice is the result of the observation of a man nho has made a life of modern and naifarc. The passage of the right wing of i the Germany army to east of Paris indicates that the directora of the of the invading forces have no intention of investing a city defended by the strongest fortifications and 360.000 or 100.000 men while the allied? French and i British armies remain undefeated in the field. No such defeats as were inflicted upon the French armies in at Vionville, Gravelotte and Sedan have marked the progress of the German armies from the Belgian frontier since the early part of Au? gust. And the employment of a force of more than half a million men for the investment of Paris could only be justified by such tri? umphs in the field. The capture of Paris would give Germany no dis? tinct military advantage in a war with a nation in arms battling for its territorial integritj, if not its inde? pendent political existence.

Paris is supplied to withstand a year's block? ade. It is questionable whether the German F.mpirc, shut off from all sources of outside supply, which in the course of the last ten years has been changed largely from an agri? cultural to a manufacturing state, could feed its vast armies in France and in Eastern Prussia during the length of time it would require an investing force of 500,000 or 600, Ooo men to reduce the Hncient French capital. The retention of Pari? by France is of sentimental Interest rather than militnry or even politictil impor? tance. The mchinery of government has been set up at Bordeaux. The manufacture of cannon and small ordnance and other military supplies is conducted elsewhere Lnless the Hermans evince a disposition to place in front of the fortifications of Pari? a containing force at least as great as the garrison, sound military pol? icy would dictate its abandonment nnd the throwing upon the battle line the garrison intrusted to General Gallleni for its defence.

Victory of a decisive character Is becoming increasingly essential to the success of the German invasion. if not. indeed, to the preservation of her invading army. The exigencies of the campaign in Northern France have drawn the cr.veUiping rijrht Ming of the army to a peril distance from it? buses of sup? ply at Aix-la-Chapelle and Cologne, and entailed upon it the maintenance in the face of an active and well led enemy of a long and difficult line of communication. The tac? tics of the French and English com? manders been murderously ef? fective in the infliction of punish? ment.

Apparently authentic report indicate a loss to the Germans in killed alone of 62.000. and such a loss in killed presupposes a loss in disabled and captured of 200,000 or 225,000. No army can sustain such without suffering in morale and aggressive energy. Already American military observ? ers who have followed the course of the war In Northern France keen professional interest detect a diminution of vigor in the German punch. "Ihe steady reinforcement of the armies in France cannot con? tinue indefinitely in face of the in? creasing menace of the Russian in? vasion of Fast Prussia.

The tion of the Austrian army in Galicia puts the Dual Monarchy out of con? sideration as an aggressive power. Austria must keep the Servian i armies out of Bosnia and Herze? govina, which are ripe for insurrec? tion, defend Budape-t and Vienna from the threatened Russian attiek, and maintain on her southwest, rn an army of half a million or i more to meet possible invasion from Italy, whose neutrality the govern ment at Rome is maintaining with extreme difficulty in the face of the national hatred of Austria. The defence of Fast Prussia and the i route to Lerlin must be accomplished by German troops unaided und. in the face of the surprising i 'leriry devtlopid by Russia that work alone will tax the empire's hitholo unemployed military re Eoarces to the utmost. And of grave concern to the Gei mans is the reported landing of a Russian army, brought from Arch? angel around Lapland and through Great Britain, at Antwerp.

With Rus? sia's comparatively unlimited supply f.f trained soldiers and an English transport service which the Germans cannot molest the massing of a of 300,000 or 400,000 men ready to operate with the Belgian forces, i Possibly another English army, be accomplished in a few a force menacing their communi tions and threatening their would compel a of rr from the battle front in Fran IHspatches from the Belgian war yesterday indicated that this new lied force had begun an offensi movement, but it is not believed American observers that an army sufficient strength to completely i set the German strategic campaign France has been assembled yet, a it Is probable that the effect of action reported yesterday, which have been fought two days ago, which the Germans are alleged have suffered a reverse, will be ecceleratc the efforts of the Knisei general? to bring about a dedal action east of Paris and west of Ve dan before the situation in Bclgiu becomes critical. The defensive campaign of tl French and English forces since tl Germans crossed the Belgian fronti has been conducted on the sounde military principles. The policy i the commanders of these armies i accepting battle in strong defensi? positions, inflicting heavy losses the enemy and delivering brilliai counterstrokes when occasion fered as they retired before fore? too numerous to be in a gei eral battle, has preserved trn mora of the troops and inspired them wit confidence. The soldiers of th? a lied armies to-day are alert an ragcr. full of cherful confidence i their leaders and sanguine of ult mate success.

The French and English general! holding the inside of a vast crescent shaped line, one base resting on th impregnable fortress of Belfort, nea the Swiss frontier, the other on Pari; occupy an incomparable strategic pe sition. The country back of ther has not been trod by the invadei No railroad lines have been de stroyed, no telegraph wires have beei cut by raiding cavalry. The Frencl armies have been steadily reinforce? by troops from the south and south east, no apprehension being felt eon eerning the attitude of Spam am Italy, until they are nearly, if no quite, strong numerically as th? invading Germans. That the mi takes of the war of 1S70, which marked by the shutting up of heavj forces in fortified places, will not bi repeated was evidenced by the aban donment of the strongly fortifier post of Rheims. The defence ol Rheima would have required a force of 10.000 men, which will unques? tionably be of greater service on the battle line than locked up in a for? tress, and the action of the Wai in ordering the abandonment of Rheims may presage the abanilon ment of Paris and the assembling of such of the army of General Gal lieni as may be available for active field service at the point on the long drawn out German line selected by the General Staff for the delivering of the grand counter stroke which will mark the beginning of the allied effort to drive the Germans out of France and to carry the war into the enemy's country.

Occupying interior lines and com? manding routes of communication that have not been touched, the massing by the allied commander? of a superior force at the point select? ed for the first great aggressive ef? fort of the campaign to rid France of the invading Germans should not prove a difficult military problem. Opinions differ as to the time the expected counter stroke may be ex? pected. In some quarters it be? lieved that a fortnight may elapse before the commanders of the allied armies consider themselves strong enough to risk a battle, which, if it should go against them, might imperil the allied cause in the west, and that the interval will be utilized in fur? ther weakening the invading armie? by a Continuance of the l-'abiau policy which has characterised the retreat from the Belgian frontirr. In other quarters a change from defensive to aggressive warfare by the allies is ex? pected this v. eek.

Meanwhile the world awaits with the inter? est the contest which will show whether the great German war ma? chine, which bar passed like a steam roller over forces of inferior power through Belgium and Northern France, will prove as efficient in the open field fores at equal, and possible superior, in num?

N. Y. RUSSIAN TROOPS BLOCK REFUGEES Kroonland Reports Use of Trains for Russians Kept Americans in England. The Red Star liner Kroonland, which over a month ago sailed from this port with Belgian and French reservists, ar rived here yesterday from Liverpool with passengers, being in the saloon and the remainder in the secoii'l cabin.

The ofl eeis had difficulty in restraining them, were the men to get at the Germans.

ADVE-TlS-Ji-H-. SHOCKING FALSEHOODS SUPPORTING VACCINATION An Exposure and Refutation of Some Official Fallacies A crusade of compulsory vaccination is now being forced upon the children in all schools in this State, both public and private, and in answer to urgent calls that nave come to us from all over the State from parents, teachers, and school officer? for advice and assistance in this matter we now re? spond to this call by first exposing and refuting the chief and most dangerous medical falsehoods on which this crusade is based and will follow later with other articles treating other phases of the evil and showing how it may be legally defeated. In my former articles, published in the daily papers of New York City In last May and June, entitled "The Storv Of A Continental Lie," I showed that the whole cult and practice of General Public Vaccination particularly all Compulsory all great Intrenched evils, had originated in falsehood, has continued in falsehood, and now exists on both falsehood and concealment, falsehood as to Its absolute efficiency and certainty in protecting against smallpox, falsehood as to the necessity of general vac? cination to prevent smallpox epidemics and gross falsehood as to its perfect safety and freedom from dan? ser to human health and life. Now I do not think, as a student of this subject on all sides, that I have ever seen a grosser illustration the truth of this charge titan can be found in the special article on Vaccination published in the Bulletin "Health News" for February, I0t4, issued by the State Department of Health at Albany, N. which contains what I believe to be shocking falsehoods, fallacies and exaggerations which even a tyro in the investigation of this subject could easily refute, as I will now proceed to show.

All these fallacies have been issued with an air nf gospel truth, to instruct the public, and to try to justifv the extreme efforts of our department oflicers and medical doctors to force compulsory vaccination on every child and adult in this State as not only absolutely necessary for public health but as the only known means to prevent small? pox epidemics and as being an operation which is wholly beneficial and entirely sate and harmless to human health and life. I shall now give examples of the chief and worst of these medical falsehoods and follow with their full refutation, as a dutv clearlv due to public truth and right. First Fallacy: This Official Bulletin at Page 48 tells us concerning the alleged efiiciency and necessity of vaccination as follows: "Nothing I.ut vacinatton can save from smallpox. and general sanitation exert absolutely no influence upon its prevalence." This is about as shocking, absurd and false as it can be, and coming from our health officer is certainly not creditable to our public health service, but is so obviously absurd and untenable as to refute itself on its very face. This paragraph thus tells us, in effect, that dense human overcrowding, with personal and pub? lic tilth spread everywhere, no sanitation or isolation anywhere and every case of smallpox left loose and at large to spread bv direct contact to every child and adult and thus infect every one right and left, as in the old unsanitary times of big and frequent this, our Health Commissioner tells us, would not make a bit of difference In the spread of the disease! And, per contra, the prevention of all these vile un? sanitary conditions of barbarous times, with or without vaccination, would have no effect whatever to reduc? the disease: Second Fallacy: The next major fallacy in this State Department Bulletin relates to the alleged perfect safety vaccination, as follows.

"There Is not the risk In the process of vaccination when it is carried out with clean virus guaranteed by Inspection) and when the vaccination itself is kept clean. 'Sore arms' come from dirt getting into the vaccination, not from the vaccine itself." it the man who wrote this fallacy knows anything extensive on this subject he must know that what he Mates here is nut true. And he knows that no such thing as "clean" virus is now. or ever was, made or can be made, that is, no virus without some, or many, dangerous suppurative disease garnis of one kind or another, known or unknown, which will not be likely some time or other, in some persons, to bring about a dangerous infection of the system, with possible serious or fatal injury, and that, as a matter of tact, such Infections are occurring constantly In children and adults from the various existing brands of "clean" "in? spected" and certified virus now in use. furthermore, as to this evil being caused only by "dirt" getting into the wound, this audacious writer must also know that this dangerous or fatal Infection can and does come into the wound both directly as a "primary" infection from the virus itselt.

or as a "secondary" infection from "dirt" in or about the wound, and he must know very well, if at all competent to write on this subject for public instruction, that one kind of infection is about as common and as tata! as the other, and that both arc almost equally chargeable to the operation of vaccination itself, so that to contend other? wise is merely a COWirdl) evasion of the truth. illuitrate And prove this point from the latest and highest statistical authority in the world. I will now quote from the Keport of the Registrar General of bngland tor llM2, which is the very latest in print and has just come to hand. You will remember that 1 showed in previous articles that the Heport for 1911 tells the same story, that is. the shocking fact of more deaths of children from vaccination than from small? pox.

The new Report for 1912 now simply repeats this story for that year to doubly prove how false are ihe wild assertions made in the State Department Bulletin as to the perfect safety of vaccination. The English Report for 1912. just received, thus gives deaths from smallpox for that year Uhe lowest on record, in one of the poorest vaccinated countries? and 10 deaths from vaccination! Four of these smallpox deaths from vaccination! Four of these smallpox deaths were children under 0 years and nine of the vaccination death? were of children of the age, thus showing more than twice the number of deaths of children from vaccination as iron, smallpox! Four of these vaccination deaths are given as directly 'rom "Vaccinia" itself, that means a ill reel infection from the vlr is, and five cases are aa Indirect effects of wound infe. twu from "Pyaemia and threi from "Septicemia." Von will remember that the Fnglish for the previous deaUm nom Vaccination und deaths from Smallpox In children, the deaths from smallpox for all ages S3 ami from i ai ina ion for ages 11, cours? corresnondlnjr or similar mortellty occurs In our own country from this widely and inflicted dtseas. "Vaccinia." but such deaths are'denied anil concealed In our vital Statistics under the heads of order diseases, as I ha? repeatedly harged and proved, and I now again appeal to a public challenge of our department officials on the records on this important subject, which I have repeatedly demanded and will I rove the and statistical faoj that general vaccination In this State of New York is now mor? dangerous to public health and human life than smallpox, and now actually causes more deaths than particularly hildren, In fact, the fatalities from vaccination In our State of New York art relatively much more than those officially admitted In England because we have a dangerous wound infection common all this State m.d partti on Long Island which is not prevalent In I'ngland, Lockjaw or "Tetanus." to which the vaccination wound Is susceptible and which causes many deaths lu vaccinated children every year.

A reluctant proof of tins i given our State Keport for 1912, where four deaths from lockjaw In vaccination wounds ad lilltted, deaths from smallpox the same year being only four in number, so that Loth smallpox ami vaicina tion are th is clearl) shown to be equally fatal in some years in our State, by our own official reports: whereas the English Keport ror 1911! and the reports for many years previous show that, regularly, vaccination is more than twice as fatal for children smallpox: I therefore do not tint that I now need to say anything" further to prove that the statement as to the perfect safety o'' va? made in our State Department Bulletin is a dangerous medh.it falsehood and a serious decep? tion of the public mmd. which should be immediately corrected, and that I am performing a duty to the public bv lure exposing and correcting it. When such talse and untenable statements are issued hy highest health oftl? lal in the State, it is not to be wondered at that, not onlj the general public, but other important State departments will be sertouely misled. Hence u. are not to see the Pepartment of Education adopting and re-echoing these grave i oui to all our public houls.

as In the Ircular iseued Alben? March 1914, and addree officera throughout the state, in which errors an- freely quoted and Impressed on local trustees and boards us reason why the) should strictly enforce the eu! vaccination law in all school districts uf thi State I am surprised and grieved In this case to find the name of on esteemed Assistant Omm ssioner signed to this ein il.ir as It hlel author, who heartily co-operated ith us in draw ing and preaei tine tu the in 111" Tor the reform of the present evil law so as to admit unvacclnated children in the schools, according to ihr recommendutlon of former fommlssloner Andrew draper. In his Keport for I Ml. This vas defeated 1, the M.ine medical societies of this state which fastened this law originally upon US and which, of ourse, profit largel? euch law, i'ommissioner Draper pointed out In his Keport for 19u9, f'age II. This circular of March 20 go? beyond the error of the Department of Health where it stales in paragraph "The proper enforcement of this law is vital to the health of the people of the State." VA hat a dangerous fallacy and folly this is. when I have proved that even the present partial enforcement of vacination In Ftigland and this count'-? row regularly kills more children than smallpox! Purely it is a strange way to vitally improve the health of the peuple Of State bj deliberately inflicting on its healthy children an artiflcisl disease whi'h now actually kills more ot them than the natural disease against which it is directed as an alleged preventive! I know thai tin school age, to It, is naturally the most vital and Immune of all ages the population nd au degree? And do you Know that this age shows regularly every year only aboul five per cent of the total annual deaths from all causes although it forms about one-quarter of the whole population?
