T1Y LEASED WjRE.I

WASHINGTON, Dec. ga new
Mexican peril gave administration Of
ficials fresh cause for concern today.
1t was the threatened clash between
Generals Zapata and Villa over the
granting of property to followers of
General Huerta.
Official advices over night to the
washington government indicated
that the situation at Mexico City was
full of uncertainty and officials pri-
vately admitted that the apparent dis
cord between the chiefs Of the north
and south might prove a menace to
the peace of the republic
According to the reports to the
state department, the Gutierrez Villa
element believes that fair trials should
be given to the officers who formerly
served in the federal army. The Za-
patistas are said to favor summary
execution of all who held office under
the Huerta or Carbajal regimes.
The climax of the dispute is expect
ed to be reached at the national con-
vention which is to meet in Mexico
City on January l to choose a new
provisional president and officials are
looking forward to this event with
some apprehension.

CONGRESS TO PROBE
CAUSES OF SPREAD
OF CATTLE PLAGUE
Experts Place Blame for
Prevalence of Foot and
Mouth Disease on Improp.
er Diagnosis.
By A. q. COBB.

Congress has appointed a committee
to probe the cause Of the rapid spread
OF the recent outbreak of the foot and
mouth disease, and the quarantine
which was ordered in various sections
OF the country. Information indicates
that the committee will give most OF
Is attention to an investigation Of the
quarantine, without paying much at
tention to the facts that caused the
spread of the disease.
Recent articles in the Breeders Ga
eztte and the Indianapolis Star direct
attention to the fact that the disease
gained such an enormous Roadway in
the early stages Of the outbreak, be-
cause federal officials and the state
veterinarian of Michigan failed prop
erly to diagnose the first cases that
appeared and pronounced them as
cases Of mycotic stomatitis. 1t is
pointed out that if the early appear
ance of the disease had been properly
diagnosed, and proper restrictions en-
forced the outbreak would have been
isolated to one county in Michigan.
Expert Diagnoses Disease.
The bureau Of animal industry wait
ed six weeks before sending Dr. Eich-
orn, foot and mouth specialist, to
Niles, Mich. lie at once diagnosed the
disease properly, but 1t was then too
late TO prevent it's spread all over the
country, as much live stock had been
shipped out Of the infected regions
through Chicago and other large ship
ping points.
This negligence on the part of the
bureau has cost the states and nation
several million dollars. and while the
disease is checked. there is every
possibility that it may break out again
in the spring.
The quarantine was a necessary evil
and was effective in checking the dis
ease. If it is true that the investi-
eating committee will try to place the
blame on bureau officials for estab-
fishing the guarantees, great in
justice may be done. To place the
blame where it belongs. the committee
should turn its attention to an investi-
cation Of the reasons for the failure
Of the state veterinarian of Michigan
and bureau inspectors properly to d.
agnose the disease. I tseems that
these men were directly responsible
for the great financial loss which has
been incurred.
