public schools In Collingswood, N. J.. 'follow
ing the discovery of new cases of the dis

on account of the death of William Mllford
Simms, S103 North Twenty-fifth street, a

The Collingswood schools. Just opened,
were closed by Mrs. Helen Amelsen, super
visor of Camden County rural schools,
when two cases of the disease were dis
covered In that town. Norwood's first case,
which caused the new quarantine, was that

WAS IN VERDUN ZONE
Germany Is sending her submarines across
the ocean to attack the Allies' commerce off
the Atlantic coast because the British have
perfected an Ingenious system whereby they
have already succeeded In capturing a hun
dred of the underwater boats, according to
Dr. Frank C. Abbott, of the Jefferson Hos
pital staff, who returned to ths city today
after more than a year's service In the
French war xone, back of Verdun.
The successful raid made by the Ger
man submarlno V-SI last Sunday Is be
lieved by Doctor Abbott to bo only a fore
runner of what Is to come. The German
military authorities have given evidences
of the beginning of a ruthless submarine
campaign In a final effort to smash the
enormous ammunitions and food supply
commerce being carried on between the
Allies and neutral countries, he said.
Doctor Abbott said hla Information was
first-hand, coming from authoritative
sources and what he himself has seen.
While crossing the English Channel on hla
homeward trip, three weeks ago, his ship
was held up by British destroyers, which
were In the act of capturing three German
submarines that had Just been trapped In
the great steel nets which are stretched
clear around the British Isler.
Doctor Abbott, whose homo Is at BIOS
Carpenter atreet, has been ixentloned sev
eral times In dispatches sent to this coun
try by prominent Frenchmen, who mar
veled at his skill while he vras a surgeon
In the base hospital at Vendome, France.
Doctor Abbott was the recipient of a silver
medal from the French Red Cross In recog
nition of his services.
ALMOST 100 CAPTURED
"Tea. It is true that the British have
captured a good many German subma
rines," said the doctor. "I was Informed
on good authority that almost a hundred
are now In the hands of the. Allies. I heard
that some of the submarines are being used
by the British.
"England has perfected an ingenious sys
tem whereby it Is able to detect the pres
ence of a submarine In any locality, and
once they are located they are easily cap
tured. 1 cannot tell you the exact manner
In which they accomplish this. Of course,
you have heard of the steet nets. Well,
besides the nets they have the thousands
of small boats continually patrolling the
waters about the British Isles, and then
there Is another method of which I cannot
tell you. However, they have at laat per
fected a method of stopping attacks close
to their shores, and this, I believe, has
driven Germany to the alternative of send
ing the U-boats to American waters or giv
ing up the attacks. The attack on ves
sels oft Nantucket on Sunday, I believe. Is
only the beginning of a more concerted ef
fort. Speaking of his work In France. Doctor
Abbott said he found plenty to keep him
occupied from one end of the day to the
other.
"I am convinced that the war will not
end for at least another year," he declared.
'The French are fighting for a principle.
They are fighting with a dogged determina
tion and they see nothing but victory ahead.
They don't speak of when the war will
end; they are sure it will end with victory
on their side.
"Don't understand me to say that they
wouldn't like to see the war end. This
would be far from the truth. The French
are broken In health and spirit. After
more than two long years of wearied fight
ing In those trenches they are even dis
heartened. They know their country has
been devastated, that thousand) of their
comrades have been killed and that they
themselves might at any moment be called
on to give up their lives for France, but they
are determined that the 'Bochea' shsll not
win the war. They will fight until the very
last drop of blood has been spent. They
are willing to pay the price.
"The worst cases are those1 who have
been 'gassed' or disabled by liquid fire.
'Such cases are pitiful to look upon. They
do not respond to treatment and their death
Is a slow and agonising one. They plead
with the doctors to chloroform or shoot
them that they might And relief In death."
Doctor Abbott almost lost ths thumb of
his left hand when It became Infected while
performing an operation

LOVE'S ARDOR COOLED

Maid Once Shielded Fiance From
Feminine Wiles Now Any

There was a time when she May Kerns,
a twenty-year-old usher In a "movie" near

could get him Harry llonsnll, a thirty-year-old
University of Pennsylvania dental
student, whd lives nt York road and City
line.
Today she publicly declared that any
body could have him.
"He annoys me." she told Magistrate
ltraton and a crowded courtroom at the
Central Station. "He choked me. He wanted
money He blackened my eye. I'm through
with him.
"Anybody that wants this fellow cAn
have htm."
llonsail, puialed liy the twist In his love
affair, was discharged this morning, after
the girl had htm arrested last night at
the theater for annoying her.
"I don't quite understand," he said. "We
have known each other four years. The
last two years we've bern engaged and I
bought her a diamond ring. I worked my
way through college, but used to help her
out with money becauso she didn't earn
much. I used to see her at the theater
every night, nnd she seemed glad to see
me. Whenever I'd go out for a breath of
fresh air she'd object.
"Time goes quicker when you're here,"
she'd nay,
"She'd escort me home at night so no
other girl could get me, and told me She'd
brain me It she caught me with another
girl."
Ilonsalt waxed Indignant. He told how
Miss Kerns had come to his house lato at
night to be sura he was there.
"Well. I had a right to, because we were
engaged," Interposed Miss Kerns, who lives
at 122 Drown street.
"We aren't now, and you've got the ring,"
suggested llonsail.
"I'm entitled to it," snapped Miss Kerns.
