To Change War Policy.
With the new ministry in power a
radical change in the war policy of the
government is apparently certain. It
will mean the advancement to high
commands of the younger generals
who are believed to have more modern
ideas of military strategy.
The first indication of this new pol
icy came tonight in the appointment
of Gen. Gallieni as commander of the
army in Paris and governor of the
capital, with ex-Gov. Michael under his
orders.
This move was for the purpose of
Strengthening still further the defense
of the city of Paris.

ful. Every time a Germans head
showed above a trench and every time
the German infantry attempted to
rush position there came a steady,
whitening rife fire from the khaki-clad
men lying in extended formation along
the wide battle front.
Show Careful Workmanship.
Their firing was not the usual fir.
Ing OF nervous men shooting without
aiming; rather it was the calm and
careful craftsmanship of men one sees
on English rife ranges firing with all
the artificial aids permitted to the
match expert.
When quick action was necessary
the men showed no nervousness, no
excitement; they showed cool, me-
thodicaI efficiency for which the Brit
ish army is noted.
If the British lost heavily, the Ger
mans must have lost terribly. One of
the German prisoners said: We had
never expected anything like it; it
was staggering
Britons Joke In Trenches.
The British troops went to their
positions silently, but happily There
was no singing because it was forbid
den, but as the men deployed to the
trenches there were various sallies
Of humor in the dialects of the various
English, Irish and Scotch counties.
The cockney was there with quips
about Uncle Bill and every Irishman
who went into the firing line wished
he had money to buy a little Irish
horse so that he might take slap at
the uhlans'
Wounded Get Best Care.
With the close of the first series
Of combats between the British and
Germans the scene of interest shifted
to the Paris railway station, where
the injured British soldiers were be.
ing taken. The handling of the wound
ed was all that could be desired;
everything was perfectly organized
and without theatrical display.
'The station at the time was crowd
ed with Americans who were on their
way to England from Switzerland.
The Americans joined with the French
in cheering for the first arrivals of
British wounded from the scene of
the fighting. While the crowd waited
train after train rolled by carrying
fresh British troops to the front.
English Cardinals Bless Troops.
II witnessed a notable scene on the
road between Boulogne and Paris.
Two English cardinals, Cardinal
Bourne, archbishop of Westminster,
and Cardinal Gasquet, abbot president
of the English Benedictines, were on
their way from London to the con-
clave at Rome.
Their train stopped on siding,
and, by curious chance, regiment
of British troops, which included in
its ranks a large body of Irish Catho-
lies, was drawn up alongside for
moment. The cardinals leaned out of
the window and gave the soldiers
their blessing, which the Catholic sol
diers, by spontaneous impulse, knelt
to receive"

ILLINOIS CATTLE.
ARE GUARANTEED
Becomes Effective in Several
Counties October |.
BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS CAUSE
secretary Houston Takes Action 10
Prevent Spread of Disease-Lake,
MeHenry, Kane, Dupage and
Cook Counties Hit.

| Washington, Aug. 29.-Secretary
OF Agriculture Houston ordered a quar-
antine, effective October /, against
cattle in Lake. McHenry, Kane, Du-
page and Cook counties, Illinois. This
action was taken to prevent the spread
Of bovine tuberculosis, which is said
to exist among the cattle In these
counties.
Under this quarantine, no cattle can
be shipped from these counties for
dairy or breeding purposes unless &C
companied by a certificate showing
they have been subjected to the tuber-
cul1n test and found free from disease.
these certificates must be issued by
an employe of the bureau of animal in
dustry, department of agriculture.
The necessity for this quarantine,
which has been recognized by the state
authorities, arises from the misuse on
the part Of limited number of cattle
owners and shippers of the privilege
OF inspection by private veterinarians,
the department states. in some cases
1t has been found that health certifi-
Gates have been issued for cattle which
were obviously diseased. AS result
II states now refuse to accept Illinois
cattle unless accompanied by a GER
tlflcate of federal inspection. In or
der therefore to protect the live stock
IN Illinois and neighboring states from
the danger of tuberculosis infection it
has been found advisable to do away
altogether with private inspection and
to place in the hands of the DEPART
ment Of agriculture the regulation of
the entire interstate movement of cat
tie from the Quarantined area, and in
the hands of the state board of live
stock commissioners the regulation of
the movement of cattle from the quar-
antined area to other parts of the
state. With rigid federal inspection
healthy Illinois cattle will be freed
from any suspicion cast upon them by
the practices of the small percentage
OF cattlemen who have misused the
privilege of private inspection in the
past"
The secretary also amended the reg
ulations governing the interstate ship
ment of cattle to cover the quarantine.
Under these regulations cattle may be
moved from the quarantined area I'M
der permits for feeding or grazing pur-
poses. Cattle intended for immediate
slaughter also may be shipped, pro-
vided the cars containing them are
properly placarded so as to prevent the
animals from being diverted to other
purposes. The meat of such cattle is
Of course subjected to examination by
United States meat inspectors.
The department states the governor
and sanitary officials of Illinois will CO.
operate with the federal authorities in
making the quarantine effective.

KIAU- CHAU is BLOCKADED
Japan Gives Non-Combatants in Ter
ritory Twenty-four Hours to Leave
Austria Recalls Envoy.

Using Tau, Aug. 28.-The German
leased territory of Kiau-Chau was
blockaded today by the. Japanese sec
ond squadron, which shortly afterward
appeared outside the harbor and
shelled a small island off the
coast which was not occupied by the
Germans.
Vice Admiral Sadakichi Kato from
his flagship, the battleship Suwo, in a
wireless message to Gov. Meyer Wal
deck declared the blockade.
He said he would grant neutral
shipping twenty-four hours in which
to leave the harbor and the same
period for non-combatants to leave
the town.
There is no evidence that the Jap
anese troops have landed in the Kiau-
Chau territory 1t is believed the
heavy roads of Kiau-Chau, after the
summer rains, will deter any Japan
csc attack for many days.
Austria Recalls Envoy.
Toxic, Aug. 28.-The Austrian
ambassador, Baron Muller de Scent
gyorgy, has been recalled.
The situation between Japan and
Austria is described here as ga rup-
ture of diplomatic relations, not
war"

duty bound to follow her ally and
withdraw her ambassador from
Japan.

Europe.

Rome, Aug. 2S.-The American en-
bassy, through the consuls, has ad-
vised all Americans in Italy to return

dreds of Americans are arriving here
from Germany penniless. Many Of

Carlsbad, where they say that Ameri-
cans are suffering indignities, although
they have been taken under the pro-
lection Of the United States consulate.

can refugees were among the 81 first
cabin, 1873 second cabin and $50 steer

The steerage was we'll crowded with
Americans who booked that grade of
passage when nothing else was avail
able rather than stay longer in Europe.
the officers of the boat permitted the
american steerage passengers prac-
tlcally the same privileges as those
who were booked in the cabins.
The Taormina was halted August
IA at Gibraltar by an English cruiser,
and after an examination of the ship
mad been made it was allowed to pro-
coed.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Grave anxiety

of the prospects of a general massacre
of Christians in Turkey, the danger of
which has been communicated to the
department of state by Henry Morgen-
THAI, ambassador to Turkey, who has
taken the matter up with the sublime
porte and with the sultan. The only
assurance he has been able to obtain
has been that the sultan will do all in
his power to protect American citi-
zens. The Mohammedans in Turkey,
says the American ambassador, are de-
termfned to avail themselves of the
disturbed conditions of Europe, which
would preclude the adoption OF punt
tive measures, to visit their wrath on
all Christians and Jews in both Eu-
ropean and Asiatic Turkey. Accord
ing to Mr.. Morgenthau, no "unbeliev-
er" will be permitted to escape.
