Of the conflict is on the artillery, the
biting gale driving hail, rain and snow
before it, bringing practically to halt
the furious attacks and counter at.
tacks which have made this region ar
inferno during the past month.
Only twice during the day did the
German forces attempt attacks. Each
of these was violent and made under
cover of terrific fire from the big
guns of the enemy, but in each case
they were hurled back. In the Sec
ond assault the Prussians succeeded il
gaining the first line of trenches, but
the British forces rallied and promptly
expelled the intruders.
The roadsides in Flanders have
been turned into channels of mud by
the fall of snow and the subsequent
drenching rains. The roads are now
slippery and bare cobble ridges, diff
ficult of passage for foot troops and
exec eGingly dangerous for motor We
hicles. The provisioning of the troops
at the front has become a difficult
problem in consequence.
Aside from the daily commissary
supplies which the commissariat is
handling, there is now an additional
burden placed upon it-that of fur
nishing the troops with warm cloth
ing. Extra supplies of clothing are
of great necessity now owing to the
danger of disease incident to the oc-
Icupation of swamped trenches for long
periods at stretch.
Plans are being made for continu-
ing Of heavy winter campaign and
one ',f the first aims of the commits
sariat will be to reduce to the mini
mum within it's power the suffering
of the troops incident to the cold. The
acute distress of the troops at the
front is causing the war office deep
concern and the nation likely will be
called upon for extra contributions
of blankets and woolen garments.

Russian-Turkish Fight.

Petrograd, Nov. 17.-Russian war

miralty.

the statement, "the Turkish offensive
on The coast road near Liman has

existence is not reported to the prop
er authorities. Farmers are there
fore urged, both for their own pro-
lection and as duty to their neigh
bors, to report Immediately all cases
Of suspicious sore mouths or lameness
among their stock.
Foot-and-nouth disease affects
chiefly cattle, sheep, goats and swine,
but there are number of other ami
mails of less commercial Importance
which are also susceptible. Occasion
ally human beings are affected, but
in the majority of instances the dis
ease is not severe in the case of man.
Children, however, may become dan
gerously i'll if their milk is. infected.
The first indications of the disease
are chill followed by high fever,
the temperature rising rapidly, some
times to 1O6 Fahrenheit. In short
time vesicles about the size of the
pea appear in the mouth at the end
of the tongue, on the inside of the
cheeks and on the gums. These ves-
Iicles. contain yellowish watery fluid.
They spread as the disease advances
and cause the animal to open and shut
its mouth uneasily with a character
istic smacking sound. A day or two
after the first appearance of the erup-
tions in the mouth similar indications
appear upon the feet, which are swol-
len, red and tender. Because of this
the animal frequently persists in lying
down, and bedsores develop with much
rapidity. In the case of cows the
udder and, more frequently, the teats,
are affected by a similar eruption.
Once the disease is we'll established
it becomes so painful for the animal to
eat that food is frequently refused al
together. Strings of saliva hang from
the mouth and flesh is lost with as
tonishing rapidity. When the udder
is seriously affected the milk becomes
contaminated and may cause serious
results to sucking calves and young
pigs. In mild cases from ten to twen-
ty days may bring about an apparent
recovery, but this time may be great
ly extended. Moreover, an apparent
recovery by no means implies real
cure. The animal may carry the vi
rus in it's blood for year or more
and is liable during all this time to
spread the contagion or to experience
q recurrence itself. The mortality,
considering the seriousness of the dis
ease and the losses it occasions, is very
small, being estimated by some author
tiles at per cent, although it fire.
quently is much greater than this. The
mortality, however, by no means rep
resents the real losses occasioned by
the disease. No revenue is possible
from infected herds, and in the case
of dairymen an outbreak of foot-and-
mouth disease frequently means that
their business is completely ruined.
Blooded or other cattle that have be-
come sick with the disease naturally
lose their value as breeding animals.
1t is, however, impossible to get rid
of the disease by ignoring it. The
only possible remedy is to kill off in

1t is known that this can be set

a number of those present that the

thing and have a peaceful period in

Increasing in Violence.
(By Franklin P. Merrick)

Paris, Nov. 1.-THE great artillery
duel Of the Germans and allies along
the front of Belgium is increasing in
violence, according to an official state
ment issued by the war office this
afternoon.
The statement follows: cat Nieu.
port, before Dixmude and in the re-
gion of Ypres the cannonade has TAX
en- on greater violence than during
the preceding days.
"On the canal south of, Dixmude
the action of our artillery has checked
the works which the Germans were
executing to oppose the inundations
The enemy has been forced to evacu-
ate part of his trenches, which were
reached by the released water.
"Two attacks by German infantry
one tc the south of Bixschoote and
the other to the south of Ypres, have
been repulsed.
"For our part we have made marked
progress between Bixschoote and the
canal and between Armentieres AMI
La Bassee. The artillery battle. is
particularly fierce in that region.
'On the Aisne some small German
forces that attempted to cross the
river near Vailly have been thrown
back or destroyed. Our positions on
the tight bank above Vailly have
been violently cannonaded, and SIM
ilarly in the region of Rheims some
shells already have fallen on that
town.
"In the Argonne region there have
been no infantry engagements, but
we nave blown up a number of Ger
man trenches with mines.
"On the heights of the Meuse to
the south of Verdun we have advanced
at some points. In the region of St
Mihiel we have captured some of the
outlying houses of the village and
they are held by the garrison of st.
Mihiel. That village constitutes the
only point of support still held by
the Germans on the left bank of the
Meuse in that region.
"On the rest of the front there is
nothing important"

Mexicans Fighting Again.

Naco, Ariz., Nov. 17.-Villaista
troops resumed the attack against
Carranzista forces at: Naco, Sonora,
this morning.
Mrs. A. e: Krohn, an.sAmerican
woman and wife of the Southern Pa
eific Railway superintendent here, was
shot in the head while in her home,
hut not seriously wounded.
At first the firing was desultory, but
by 10 o'clock it was brisk, with both
cannon and small arms in action. The
forces under General Hill replied
lightly.

Paris, Nov. 1.-THE Belgians again
have wrecked the German plans.
The allies for nearly week have
teen trying to dislodge the invaders
who hold Dixmude and it's environs,
but without success, owing to the iso-
lated position of the German strong
hold and the impregnable defensive
works erected by the Germans.
Yesterday several Belgian detach-
ments of engineers with strong
force of sappers worked around to
the south of the town and cut an
other dixie, which has flooded the rear
of the German position to an impas-
sable depth, marooning the occupants
of the town and cutting them off from
the main body.
The supporting columns of German
infantry and machine gun detach-
ments were driven back to the east
ward by the flood and thousands of
lives were lost in the withdrawal.
The field to the east and south of
Dixmude tonight is covered with dead,
hundreds of bodies of men and horses
floating in the swirling waters of the
valley.
The inundated region now extends
from a point just south of Nieuport
to the Forest of Houthurst, about
three miles south of Bixschoote.
Between Bixschoote and Dixmude
several strong columns were being
hurled forward en- masse in an effort
to force the canal again and regain
the western bank. But the torrents
loosed by the opening of the dikes
caught them on the front and they
fled in great disorder in their anxiety
to escape being wiped out
One entire regiment which had
sought to escape the wall of water
withdrew along a ridge of ground
running parallel with the canal. When
they reached point just to the south
of Bixschoote terrific bombardment
opened from the allies trenches with
artillery, rapid firers and rifles. The
column was within easy range and
the Germans were moved down, rank
upon rank, until the whole regiment
was annihilated.
The successes recorded in the after
noon official communique from Bor-
deaux greatly increased the elation
produced in Paris on the previous
day when the announcement was made
that the Germans finally had been
forced to evacuate entirely the lett
bank of the User.
Today also came the semi-official
news from Bordeaux that all of the
official government staff and the
members of the chamber of deputies
will return to Paris today to re-es-
tablish the government here.
This is interpreted generally by the
public to mean that General Joffre
has piven President Poincare assur
ances that there is not only no fur
ther danger of German drive on
Paris, but that the effort to cut
through to the French coast likewise
is failure.
To the south of Ypres the fighting

Government Tells of Plague
Affecting American Cattle

The Agricultural Department fur
nishes the following statement regard
ing the cattle plague:
The outbreak of foot-and-mouth dis
ease has already affected an area 50
large that it is evident that most ac-
tive measures are necessary to eradi-
cate it. Cases have been found as
far apart as Iowa and Massachusetts,
and at the time of this writing (No-
vember 10) thirteen states have been
quarantined-M Massachusetts, N w
York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Maryland,
Iowa, Rhode Island, New Jersey and
Delaware. Interstate shipments of
live stock from these states are abb
solutely prohibited, and such articles
as hides, straw, hay, etc., must be
thoroughly disinfected before they can
be moved in interstate commerce. Both
in virulence and in extent of area af-
fected the present outbreak is more Sc
rious than any of the five previous
ones which have occurred in the Unit
ed States.
These previous outbreaks have no.
been sufficiently serious either to fa-
miliarize farmers with the symptoms
of the disease or to render them fully
alive to the losses that it occasions
when permitted to gain a firm foot
hold. One of it's most dangerous
characteristics is it's extreme conta-
giousness. Not only may it be con-
veyed directly from one ANIMAL to
another, but it may be transported in
fodder, picked up from the ground and
carried over the country by cats, dogs
and chickens, or communicated through
the agency of man. Cases have al
ready been found in which it seems
certain that the disease was spread
by the curiosity of farmers to inspect
suffering animals. They returned
from these visits to communicate the
disease to their own previously healthy
herds.
The contagiousness of the disease
explains the action of the federal au-
thorities in quarantining such large
areas. The practice is to clap a
blanket of quarantine on the state
in which a case of the disease has
been found, and then, by careful in
vestisation, determine the exact area
infected. When an animal suffering
from foot-and-mouth disease is dis.
covered in herd the whole herd is
lat once slaughtered. Otherwise il
would remain dangerous source OF
infection and be menace to the en-.
tire community. 1t is customary tc
appoint an appraiser to value the
herd. One-half of the appraised value
is aid to the owner by the fedora
government and one-half by the state
The slaughtered animals are buried
| in deep trench, their hides slashed t6
make it useless for anyone to dig
them up again, and the carcasses are
saturated with quicklime. In this man.
ner previous outbreaks have been com
pletely stamped out and there is every
treason to hope that this will be tht
case this year. The chief danger is
that there may be infected herds whose

Washington, Nov. 17.-President
Wilson sharply emphasized the fact
today that the United States will not
pay ever the million dollars collect
ed in customs duties at Vera Cruz
until there is stable government in
Mexico, but will hold this money un-
til all possibility of its being confis
Gated can be eliminated.
The president indicated to callers
that, regardless of developments in
Mexico, the United States will evacu-
ate Vera Cruz, November %.
