Paris.-By a furious counter-attack
the French center army wrecked the
German wedge which was being
driven at a point to the east of Vailly
on the Aisne.
The important position of Laferme-
de-Metz. occupied by the Germans
several days ago, was recaptured by
the French who cut the Germans to
pieces with their quick-fre guns,
raked them with artillery fire and
then charged them with cold steel, In
tlicting heavy losses.
The German attacks had become so
furious that the French forces who
occupied advanced positions on the
slopes of the plateaus to the north Of
the villages of Chavonne and Soupir
we're compelled to withdraw to the val
ley, but those at Amont were able to
resist successfully, maintaining their
position in the face of terrific can.

Turkey has definitely broken off
diplomatic relations with Great Brit

was unacceptable to the triple entente
powers in that Turkey was not pre-

British have destroyed Fort Akabah,

Asia Minor and an Anglo-French fleet
Is bombarding the forts OF the Darda-

Now that Turkey has aligned herself
among the nations at war, speculation
is rife as to what the other Balkan
powers will do. Greece Is said to be
preparing to take sides with the al

EMERGENCY APPROPRIATION BY
CONGRESS MAY BE NECESSARY
TO SUPPRESS DISEASE.
FOOD SUPPLY THREATENED
Worst Outbreak Of Foot and Mouth
Disease Known In v. g., Gays Sec.
rotary Of AgrieuIture-Two
More States Guaranteed.

Washington.-The worst outbreak
OF foot and mouth disease ever known
IN the United States is the secretary
OF agriculture's estimate of the live
stock problem which has forced fed.
eral authorities to quarantine over six
states, and threatens a temporary re-
duction of the nations food supply.
An emergency appropriation by con-
gross may be required to finance the
campaign to suppress the epidemic.
Officials said 1t would be a week be-
fore they could forecast the extent to
which the food supply would be az
fected. They are inclined to believe,
however, that the shrinkage will not
be large. Every possible effort will
be made to remove handicaps upon
the movement of live stock.
The quarantine does not prevent
the shipment Of stock from unaffected
districts to slaughter houses within
the quarantined area and there Is no
embargo against the shipment Of
dressed meat.
New York and Maryland were add
ed to the list Of quarantined states. A
department Of agriculture statement
said:
1.-THE list Of states now qu~arantined
by federal authorities include New
York, Maryland, Indiana, Michigan, H.
linois and Pennsylvania. In addition
to these, restrictions have been placed
upon interstate shipments from Ohio,
though no case has as yet been found
In that state. There Is reason to fear,
however, that infected stock may have
been sent into Ohio. If this is found
not to have been the case, the en-
barge will be lifted. This outbreak,
which Is the first in the United States
since 1908, is regarded as the most
serious of any that the United States
has yet experienced.
