LULL IN FIGHTING BELIEVED TO
mean Concentration OF GERMANS

Paris, Nov. 9, Z A. M--The hull in
the fighting in the invirons of Dix
nude and Ypres, in the best opinion
here, is only the prelude of a further
effort i'll which all the forces that the
Germans can raise will be concentrat-
ed. The last attack made with IL army
corps, failed. The next, it is expected,
will be made by even larger forces.
All adyices from the front indicate
this clearly. The reports that the Ger
mans are gathering an important
army at Ingelmunster, the aftirma-
ton that the battle against France
must be decided at an early date, the
orders given to the German generals
to break through before the end of
the month, and the various move
ments of troops observed by aviators
in Belgium, all tend to show the pur-
pose of the Germans,
All of tie military writer's agree
that the effort will he of the first i'm
portance TO the Germans. If unsuceess-
full it is contended here, it will be the
last Germans will be able to make as
they will then recognize the necessity

foot and mouth disease to Rhode Is
land. An order quarantining that
state against interstate shipments Of
livestock was ready for immediate is

eral quarantine against the epidemic.
New York. Ohio, Massachusetts,,
Pennsylvania, Indiana. Illinois. Mary
land. Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa
comprise the infected area.
Reviewing the fight the states and
the department of agriculture are
making, Secretary Houston said that
unless the infection Immediately could
be localized and quickly eradieated, it
threatened untold losses among live
stock.
veterinary authorities of the Uni
ted States" he said, ARE agreed that
the only method of combating the
disease is to stop all movement of
stock and material which have been
subjected to any danger of infection
and to kill off without delay all herds
in which the disease has gained any
feothold. This enables the authori-
ties to eradicate affected herds and
to isolate and hold under observation
all suspected herds.
The Federal and state inspectors
are now tracing up. through bills of
lading and railroad records, all ship
ments of live cattle which have been
made during the last so days out of
any of the infected or suspected dis
tricts. The herds of animals so shop
ped are located and Immediately ex-
amined by veterinarians.
AT present the chief danger lies in
the possibility of there being conceal

GOVERNMENT TO SEARCH FOR The
HIDDEN WIRELESS STATIONS in U. S.

Messages have been picked up by
merchant ships that apparently came
from these stations, though the fact
that they are generally in code has
made 1t impossible to trace them TO
their original. Naval experts say 1t
would be a comparatively simple mat
ter to rig up antennae for sending
wireless outfit between a couple of
tall forest trees in a manner to escape
casual observation, while the neces-
sary power might be derived from
some innocent looking saw mill in the
heart of the forest
1t has been found possible to receive
incoming messages with the ordinary
commercial outfits. At the naval lab
oratory on the outskirts of this city,
the operators pick up every day the
communication sent out from the
great German wireless tower at
Nauen, nearly 1000 miles distant.
