STOCK DISEASE
SPREADS RAPIDLY
Secretary Of Agriculture Says
Hidden Sources of Infection
Are Main Danger.

Washington.-An order quarantin-
Ing the state of Rhode Island against
interstate shipments of livestock was
prepared by the department Of agr.cul-
ture for issuance.
Rhode Island is the 11th state to be
placed under federal quarantine IN the
campaign to 1press the epidemic OF
foot and mouth disease, Macsachu-
sets, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Indiana, Illinois, Maryland. Michigan.
Wisconsin and Iowa, composing the
already wide area affected by the dis
ease.
Secretary of Agriculture Houston
said this epidemic was zone OF the
most contagious and destructive dis
eases of cattle, swine and sheep and
, exceeded in area affected any OF the
five previous outbreaks In this coun-
try" Unless the infection can be I'M
mediately localized and quickly eradi-
Gated. he said, It threatened untold
losses among livestock.
Veterinary authorities OF the United
States are agreed that the only meth
cd of combating the disease is TO stop
all movement OF stock and material
which have been subjected to any dan.
ger of infection and to kill off without
delay all herds in which the disease
has gained any foothold.
At present the chief danger liss in
the possibility OF there being conceal
I'd porrces NJ infection. Every effort
is being maze by state ana Ieoersi au-
thorities, not only to trace suspicious
shipments. but TO convince farmers OF
the seriousness of the disease and the
extreme ease with which II Ia commu-
nicated and to urge upon them to re-
port at once to state or federal au-
thorities all suspicious cases OF sore
mouths or lameness.

BATTLE CONTINUES
ALONG WHOLE Line
From Sea to vOsges Intensity
of Struggle Exceeds All
Events of War.

Paris.-A general battle has been
proceeding along the whole front from
the sea to the Vosges Mountains for
the past three days without the Ger
mans having been able TO find weak
spot In the French defenses.
However, 1t still is in Flanders that
interest In the formidable and seem
ingly interminable battle oenters. The
Germans are concentrating there all
the men they can get and ceaselessly
are hurting them against the allies
li6s. Never has this method been
directed with as much tenacity aud
fury as now.
II is the British who bear the brunt
OF these onslaughts. In many places
their lines have become SO thin, says
an officer who has been in that region
the past fortnight, that only by show
ing obstinacy worthy OF the traditions
OF Waterloo are they able to hold their
ground
Their losses in officers have been
terrible. One battalion OF foot guards
went into action commanded by non
commissioned officer. Certain cayal'
ry regiments have lost half their ef-
fectiye strength.
The fight RACES with the greatest
intensity south OF Ypres on the Msnin
road, the Ypres Canal. the Lys and
the plateau crossed by the road from
Ypres to Armentieres, Here the Of
fensive by the allies has been met by
violent counter attacks delivered by
German active army corps Just
brought from Flanders, supported by
the concentrated fire OF great body
OF massed batteries.
The Germans so far are said to have
achieved nothing more than tempor-
airy checks, and IL is claimed that
slowly but surely the allies creep for
ward.
