UP THE SHIP
FRENCH BATTLESHIP DESTROY
ED By EXPLOSION OF MAGA-
ZINES IN TouLoN HARRoR.
Three other Warships Are Badly
Damaged, over $50 Men Meeting
Death as Result of Accident Al
most Without Precedent.

Toulon. France.-More than $50 Of
hcers and men of the French battle
shin Liberte lost their live Monday
when the ship was torn apart and to-
tally destroyed in the harbor here,
by an explosion of her magazines.
The b%attleship Republique was badly
damaged. and the battleships Demo-
cratic and Verite suffered heavily
from the masses of twisted iron and
armor plate hurled upon their decks.
This Is the greatest disaster that
has ever befallen the French navy,
and in magnitude is almost without
precedent in the annals of the
worlds fighting ships.
The explosion occurred at 5:53
O'Clock in the morning. 1t was the
result of an outbreak of fire. The
flames spread rapidly in spite OF all
efforts to e~tinguish them, I and
reached the magazines before there
was time to flood them. The maya
zines exploded with tremendous vio-
lence, sowing death and destruction
in every direction.
While the naval authorities esti-
mate the killed at 800, it is feared
this figure will be exceeded. 1t will
be necessary to go through the ships
muster rolls, a ask of days, before
a full list of the victims can be pre-
pared.
Exactly from what cause or when
the fire broke out has not been ascer-
tanned, but 1t is believed 1t had been
smouldering for hours. OF the YES
sells full complement of TAP men,
Captain Juares. brother of the Social
list leader. and the C officer in
command, were both ashore on leave,
as also were 140 of the officers and
men. The command of the ship de-
volved on the senior lieutenant, who
persisted.

FACTS
ABOUT ROUP
To Avoid Disease House Must
Be Dry, Clean and Free
From Drafts and
Well Ventilated.

Roup is a contagious disease. When
1t comes into a flock il. its worst form
1t is best to destroy all that have the
disease and burn the bodies, but a
cold is not roup. The symptoms Of a
cold are the eyes closed and water
flowing, at times a frothlike discharge
from the eyes, running at the nose. II
neglected 1t may take a worse form.
This may come from exposure to
damp or cold drafts, from overcrowd-
ing in badly ventilated houses, or
from a change from roosting in the
open to a warm or closed house. To
cure this. first remove the cause. then
feed equal parts of red pepper and
mustard in the mash. q tablespoonful
of each to thirty fowls. Onions and
red peppers chopped fine and mixed
in the mash are good, and are best

UNREST IN EUROPE
oLD-WoRLD COUNTRIES ARE
DISTURBED BY FOOD RIOTS,
STRIKES AND WAR scARES.
Situation Seems to be Most Critical
In Spain, Where the War Waaed
by the Government in Morocco
Is Causing Dissatisfaction.

London.-News gathered from all
parts of the old world, tell of socialist
uprisings, food riots, general strikes.
airs or preparations for a in every
important country in Europe, with
the minor exceptions of Holland,
Sweden and Switzerland. A careful
analysis of the situation in each of
the countries which are 10Y taking
part in a general movement of unrest
such as Europe has not before expert
enced in the present generation, re-
Veals the act that in every case So
cialist agitation or a revolt against
the fast increasing cost of living is
1t the bottom of the disturbance.
Everywhere there is evidence that
.Workingmen are becoming convinced
that they are o getting their full
share of the wealth which they pro-
luce, and for the first time they are
applying the principle of a general
strike which has SO long been preach
ed by Socialist %agitators.
The most critical condition at the
present moment exists in Spain. De-
spite the temporarily soothing re
ports that are being sen out over
censored wires there is every evil
fence that tho revolutionaries have
strong hopes of ovetrhrowing the
monarchy. While the Spanish upris
Ing has been fostered for months by
Socialists and revolutionaists, they
would not have achieved their pres
n success had 1t not been for the
general dissatisfaction due to the
raj upon which the government has
embarked in Morocco.
Censored news from Lisbon init
mates that a battle has been fought
between Portuguese royalists who
had gathered on Spanish soil, and en-
deavored to cross the border and at
tack Portuguese government troops.
Apparently the royalists were driven
back.
Taking the other counties of Tu-
rope in turn we find France sup
pressing food riots by the use of her
military and Austria and Hungary
similarly stirred by the r.otous spirit
of unrest which has been put down
for the time being by stern meas
lures.
