500 HORSES BURNED.
Intended for Allies Armies They Are
Destroyed By Flames.

Practically all of the eight hun
dred horses on board the British
steamship Rembrandt were burned
or smothered to death when the ship
caught afire off the Virginia capes
Monday, according to information
reaching Norfolk Tuesday night. The
Rembrandt was bound from Balti-
more to St. Nazaire, France, and the
animals are understood to have been
intended for the armies of the Allies.
It was reported that Capt. Edlin,
of the Rembrandt, had notified Off
cials of the Lamport and Holt line,
owners of the steamship, that vessel
was set on fire by German spies who
were members Of the crew. The cap
tain is said to have claimed that
threats against the ship were made
before it steamed from Baltimore
Saturday. No confirmation of these
reports was available.
Tuesday night the Rembrandt was
steaming backward and forward in a
circle ten miles off Cape Henry, while
the crew was busy disposing Of the
carcases in the sea. Less than,a dozen
of the horses are said to be alive. 1t
was expected that the work would be
completed, after. which the Rem
brandt will proceed to Newport News
for repairs. Forward compartments
of the ship are reported badly dam
aged.
When the FIRE was discovered the
ship was 200 miles off the Capes.
The smoke was so dense that the
crew could not reach the flames. And
the stampeded animals were left to
their fate. The ships hold was food
ed and the matches closed, these ef-
forts finally resulting in the fire hay-
ing been brought 1nder control.

FIGHTING DISEASE
ELEVEN STATES FACE DANGER
oUs CATTLE CONTAGIoN.
Foot and Mouth Disease Cause Quar-.
antine Of Affected Districts--Dan-
GER is Alarming.

The fight against the cattle disease
continues. Rhode Island makes the
eleventh state to be quarantined.
Massachusetts,, New York, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Mary
land, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa
compose the area already affected.
Secretary Houston said this epi-
demic of lone of the most contagious
diseases of cattle, swine and sheep,
exceeded in area affected any OF the
FIVE previous outbreaks in this coun-
try" Unless it can be Immediately
localized and eradicated, he said, it
threatens untold losses among live
stock.
so contagious is the disease" said
the secretary, that in past outbreaks
where but one animal in the herd was
infected, the entire herd, in almost
all cases, later contracted the sick
ness. While the mortality is not high
the effects of the disease even on ami
mails that recover are such as to make
them practically useless.
at is possible to cure the external
symptoms, but during the process Of
attempting to cure one sick animal,
the chances are that hundreds Of
others may be infected. The treat
ment or killing Of single animal in
herd, was tried in an outbreak and
did not prove effective.
veterinary authorities of the Unit
ed States are agreed that the only
method of combating the disease is
to stop all movement Of stock and
material which have been subjeced
to any danger OF infection, and to
kill off without delay all herds in
which the disease has gained any
foothold.
''In some cases, because human be-
ings can carry the disease to other
herds, the state authorities have pre-
vented children of infected farms
from attending schools.
"At present the chief danger lies
| in the possibility of there being con.
cealed sources of infection. Every
effort is being made by the state and
federal authorities, not only to trace
suspicious shipments, but to convince
farmers of the seriousness of the dis
ease and to urge upon them to report
to state or federal authorities ali
suspicious cases Of sore mouths OF
| lameneSS."

GERMANS ADVANCE.
Allies Reports Show That They Have
Lost Ground During Last Week.

LOSL GrOuuu Du1nS LaSt Neeh.
The military expert of The New
York Times after studying the war
reports Of last week says while the
reports from allied sources have an
nounced various victories in the Yser-
Yys district, that nevertheless their
line proves to have been forced back
seven miles to Bixschoote, five miles
mort. Of Ypres. Both to the north
and to the south of this city the Ger
mans have forced back the opposing
armies, but in the immediate vicinity
Of Ypres the British resistance stiff
fened after the first retirement.
The German retreat in East Prussia
and Poland seems to be greater than
is called for by the Russian opera
tions. 1t seems probable that they
have fallen back rapidly to take up
positions where they can act on the
defensive and hold back the Russians
while part of their forces move
against the French and British in the
west.

Berlin Says Campaigns Are Progress
ing Satisfactorily.

Berlin reports that according to
official information given to the press
Tuesday by, Berlin wireless, the west
ern campaign is making satisfactory
though slow progress. Interest, how
ever, centres strongly in the east,
where the beginning of actual opera
tions has not yet been announced.
Maj. Moraht, in The Tageblatt. ex-
plains that the operations in Poland
have not yet reached a point where
leaders are justified in setting forth
the situation. At the proper time, he
says, the people will learn what is
really happening.
Meantime assurances are given
that there is no fear of Russian in
vasion of German territory in force.
The forces patrolling the boundary
are sufficient to prevent any such
movement, he adds.

Administration officials admit that
the Mexican situation again had as
sumed a serious aspect. Gen. Car

punished for such service.
At 6 O'Clock Tuesday night Gen.
Eulalio Gutierrez, selected by the

Between Devil and Deep Sea-"
The phrase Between the devil and

ence to the ancient fighting between
the Picts and the Britons, though un-
doubtedly 1t has long been in use in
Scotland. Its origin would appear to
be lost in obscurity, though possibly
1t may have some reference to the
