Battle-weary pollus were hold ing stubbornly all along the 200-mile line, the spokesman said, despite the fact that many of them have not been relieved since Hitler launched his mas sive offensive from the Somme on June 8. The attacking Germans, he said, have been relieved two or three times. Gen. Weygand's deep "quick sand" system of tank traps has worked and is still working,' ac cording to the best available Information. But it is another question to withstand the deter mination to sweep every de fense point regardless of the cost In men and material. French dispatches repeatedly emphasize that Hitler's armies are paying dearly fdr every mile of ground gained, and pay ing too high price. It is on this basis that the allies pin hopes ' of eventually stemming the nazi tide. A French spokesman ad mitted, however, that the situa tion everywhere along the north front is "serious."

Reminding the house that the government is spending billions for defense, Colmer said the na tion should not wait to rid it self of subversive elements "un til we are spilling the lifeblood of our citizens in defense of the country." Rep. Fish (R-N.Y.) drew a burst of applause from both ides of the aisle when he said his only regret was that "We have delayed too long." When Rep. Marcantonlo (AL N.Y.) protested that the legisla tion was setting the national gov ernment up against one man, Fish retorted that Bridges was "A symbol a symbol of the fifth columnist in our midst." ; BOOK LOSS SMALL THIS PAST YEAR AT LIBRARY.

Scarlet Fever Pill Replaces j Vaccination By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE Associated Press Selene Editor NEW YORK, June 13 A pill which immunizes against scarlet fever was announced to the American Medical association today. These pills are substitute for vaccination and are taken with drink ot water. They were doveloped by Dr. George F. Dick and Gladys Hen ry Dick, who devised the scarlet fever vaccine. The pills have been tried on 102 persons, the Dicks rennrleH. They are taken doily for two or inreo weeks. Of (nose test cases, 94 per cent were immun ized and the rest had transient scarlatina rashes. The pills are not now recom mended as a general substitute for vaccination, the Dicks stated. They should be used on persons for Whom scratches are rlnltv who are allergic to hives, who nave cad hearts, or when speed is urgent during an epidemic. It took eight years to get a mouth immunizlm subatnnra which human beings could take. At the start the Dicks developed a liquid which immunized but such enormous auuntitlex linH tn be drunk that It was nqt practi cable. Next came a whiln nnu.rW which also immunized.
