Quarantine Is Extended

Washington, Nov. 10. - Fourteen
states are under federal quarantine be.
cause of the foot and mouth disease.
Kentucky was added to the list today,
reports of infection in that state com
ing with news of further spread of the
epidemic in Indiana, Ohio and Michi-
gan.
Extension of the infected districts
in the middle west surprised and some.
what discouraged officials of the de-
partment of agriculture who had eX-
pressed the belief that the epidemic
had been brought under control in that
section. Nevertheless. the hope was
confidently reiterated today that there
would be little more spreading. The
only state under suspicion now is Mis-
sissippi. where strange malady in a
herd of cattle at Como is being inves-
tigated.
Department officials said that they
had been unable to account for the
peculiar virulence of the disease in the
present outbreak, the most serious in
the country's history. Another thing
that is puzzling the experts is the fact
that a larger proportion of swine have
been affected than in previous epi'

May Stop Belgian Relief

London. Nov. 1O.-A proclamation
issued by the German governor of
Brussels threatens that unless the Bel
gian people return Immediately and
resume their former activities the gov.
ernment will close all charitable or.
ganizations which now feed the idle
populace.
Well informed Brussels residents
claim the German contention ttat the
Belgian people are unwilling to resume
their activities is ungrounded The
Belgians, they say, are willing enough
to work, but this is impossible since all
of their automobiles and horses have
been taken by the German army, max
ing it impossible for them to hau! coal
and raw material for the factories.
The Belgians. it is declared. f.shed
the miserable, half blind horses out of
the mines, fed them and set them to
work, but no sooner were these horses
strong enough to pull carts than the
Germans ccnfiscated them for the
army.
Now the factories are without coal
and iron or cny raw materials. These
industries, which were enormous in
parts OF Belgium, have heen ruined.

Executed German Spy.

London, Nov. lit is announced
officially that Charles Lody, alias
Charles Inglis, who was found guilty
by a courtmartial of espionage No
vember 2, and has been shot as a
spy, when arrested claimed that he
was a German. He had lived in New
York and Omaha. In the latter city
he married the daughter of GOttlieb
Storz, a brewer, who later divorced
him.
Lody met his death in the tower of
London after having been found gull
ty by a courtmartial on charges of
having communicated with the enemy.
1t is understood that LOdy died game,
refusing to the last to reveal the name
of the superior officer from whom he
received his instructions to spy on the
British navy.
This was the first execution in the
tower of London since 1900. The scene
of the execution was the tower bar
racks not far from the spot where
Anne Boleyn and other persons ia.
nous in English history were put to
death.

AGE IN WARFARE.

When General Grant came prOmi-
nently to the front in 1868 by his cap
ture of Vicksburg he was Al years old.
Meade, the victor of Gettysburg, was
at the same time 4S, Sherman was 43,
and Sheridan was 32 years old. When
StOnewall Jackson was killed in that
same year he was but 80, and when
Mcclellan was placed in command of
the Union forces in 1861 was only IS.
These ages are interesting because
they are in such striking contrast with
the advanced years of the men who
are in command of the armies now
battling in Europe. On the German
side General Won Emmich, the captor
of Liege, is 66, and General Won Kluck
is 6S. General Won Hansen, who re-
Gently gave up the command of the
Saxon army, is 6S; General Won Heer-
ingen is "a: General Won Einem, 81,
and General Won Buelow 6S. General
Won Moltke. chief of the German gen.
eral staff, is 66, and General Won Hin
derberg, who is in command in East
Prussia, is 81. Nearly all these Off
GERS took part in the Franco-Prussian
war of 1870 On the allies side Earl
Kitchener is ga: Smith-Dorien, Sc, and
Sir John French 81. The three French
generals, Pau, Joffre and Gallieni, are
all approaching 20.
From this statement of years it is
easy to infer that modern warfare de-
mands in generals mature Judgment
and experience rather than the super
abundant energy and high personal
courage that were supposed to be the
distinguishing marks of the old-tme
warrior. The commander of the pres
ent day, seated at headquarters. miles
from the scene of action and receiving
from his subordinates reports by Wire
less, by telegraph or by telephone, is
more likely to be a white-haired old
man possessed of great knowledge of
the art of war. and resourceful and
imaginative, but possibly deficient in
physical vigor rather than COM
nander of the type of Napoleon. or
Hannibal, or Alexander the Great, and
other youthful military prodigies of
their day.
In view of the ages of the leading
German and French generals it would
seem that the United States follows a
mistaken policy when it makes retire
ment compulsory at Ga for the army
and 62 for the navy. If European pre-
cedent counts for anything, and it cer-
tainly should, our generals and ad.
mirals may be at their highest point
of efficiency after passing that dead
line-Philadelphia Record.

GERMAN CRUISER SUNK
Vessel Had Destroyed Large Number
Of British Ships.

|
Of British Ships.
London, Nov. 10.-Great Britain has
had her innings on the sea. The fa-
nous German cruiser Emden has met
her fate. The Koenigsberg, another
German scourge of the seas, has been
bottled up. Thus England obtains par
tial revenge for the havoc wrought on
her sea commerce by Germany's elu-
sive marine raiders.
The Emden has contributed to the
history of the war one of it's remark
able chapters. For sheer audacity and
success it has few parallels-certainly
none since the Alabama, the famous
old confederate warship, roamed the
seas. Twenty-Five ships, mostly Brit
ish, have been sunk and one has been
captured by the German cruiser.
Since early in August the Emden
has been at work. Most of the time
she was preying on British shipping
in the Indian ocean, but late last
month she appeared at Penang, on
Malacca straits. 1t was here that the
Emden performed her most daring
feat. A fourth smOkestack was rig :
ed on her deck and a Japanese flag run
up. Thus distinguished, she steamed
boldly into the harbor, passing un-
challenged under the British guns of
the fort and fired torpedoes which sank
the Russian cruiser Jemtchug and a
French destroyer. Then she took to
her heels and escaped unscathed
through the straits.
The German cruiser koenigsberg.
which disabled the British cruiser Pc
gasus some weeks ago, has been bot
tied up at Malta island on the coast of
German East Africa, by the blockading
of the channel to the harbor. The
Koenigsberg has preyed upon British
shipping since the beginning of the
war but her successes have in no way
approached those of the Emden

PIONEER OF PIONEERS.

The death of Samuel T. Hauser,
1ormer governor of Montana, recalls
the fact that he was at one time a
prominent figure in the political affairs
of the Treasure state. He was one of
the members of the big Four" COM
bination Of wealthy and influential cit
liens who generally managed to die
tate the nomination and secure the
election of their party candidates. In
recent years, however Mr.. Hauser
took very little interest in such mat
ters, the strenuous activities of poll
teal strife having been assumed by
others.
In announcing the death of Mon.
tana's former governor. the Helena Re-
cord makes this eulogistic reference
to his record as a pioneer citizen of
this commonwealth:
No man in this states history has
blaHed the trail in so many different
lines of endeavor as did Governor Hau-
ser. He was the pioneer banker, one
OF the pioneer miners, a pioneer sur
veyor, a pioneer railroad builder, one
oI the very first to put capital into the
opening of the coal measures of the
state, the pioneer in the silver-lead
smelling industry. and the pioneer in
the development of hydroelectric
power.
In Governor Hauser was combined
the developer and the promoter. He
had the broad vision, and an almost
uncanny foresight in looking into the
future in a commercial and business
sense. Then he had also the courage
to put his money into what others con-
sidered visions and the faculty of i'm
pressing others with his faith and inn
buing them with enthusiasm and op-
timism.
Governor Hauser was not only alert
mentally. but he was physically cou-
rageOus as his history shows. He new.
er knew what it was to quit When
the panic came in 1898 and found hin,
largely involved. though a man we'll
advanced in years he was the most
optimistic. Again in 1897. before he
had fully recovered from the effects
OF the panic of four years before. he
was hard pressed. but he did not give
up. Instead he put more enthusiasm
and energy into the enterprises he had
been pushing. and it was in the years
following 1897 that he succeeded in fl.
nancing the hydro-electric plants on
the Missouri near Helena.
Governor Hauser was never a man
for details. He saw only the big
things, leaving the smaller details to
others.
In recent years while he had failed
physically, mentally he was as alert
as ever, and his faith in the future
greatness of Montana and of the mani
fold opportunities that await capital
in this state he never wavered.
There were times when Governor
Hauser was severely criticised, owing
to the reverses of institutions in which,
he was interested. But as the years
passed, there came to be conception
