Occurs in Shelter Trenches.

Paris, Nov. 15.-An excellent inn
preston was created here by today's
official communication announcing
that the German troops had been driv-
en- to the right bank of the Lser Ca
nal after they had resisted for several
days all efforts to dislodge them from
the left bank.
1t is officially announced tnat the
German attack in the vicinity of Ypres
with powerful, compact bodies Of men,
who displayed great energy in push
ing home their futile attempts, result
ed in great casualties among them.
Their Intellectual attempts to break
the allies resistance, according to an
official announcement, cost them
thousands of casualties, as well as
many men made prisoners.
One detachment of 120 Germans
captured is declared to have been all
that remained of 1000 men who start
ed to fight in the morning. Some Of
the prisoners, it is said, declared that

strength of $50 men early in Novem-
Der, now numbered only from 80 to

LIVESTOCK DlEAsEs EXPLAINED
Farmers Should Be Familiar With
Symptoms of Disease.

Hitherto the United States has been
so free from foot and mouth disease
that comparatively few farmers are
familiar with the symptoms or appre-
ciate the seriousness of the present
outbreak which has led to the quar-
antine by the United States govern
ment of large areas. In the United
States the disease has appeared only
on five previous occasions-namely,
1870, 1880, 1884, 1902-3 and 1908. OF
these the last two were much the most
serious, and the outbreak in 1908 cost
the United States department of agr1-
culture $299,112 to stamp 1t out. The
disease is so contagious that If one
animal in a herd is infected there is
practically no possibility of keeping
the others from becoming diseased.
Foot and mouth disease is defined as
ian acute and highly contagious fever
of specific nature characterized by
the eruption of the vesicles OF the
mouth, around the coronets or the tee'
and between the toes" 1t affects prin
cipally cattle, hogs, sheep and goats
The germ of the disease is an organ
ism so small that it can not even DC
detected by the microscope. 1t may be
spread in one or a dozen ways-car
ried on the clothing, in hay, straw
fodder, conveyed by direct contact o.
picked up from the ground over whici
diseased animals have passed. Firs
indications are chill, which is quick
lly followed by fever. In a day o
two small vesicles about the size o
hemp seed or peas appear about tn
mucous membranes of the mouth, o
the upper surface of the tongue, tn
inside of the cheeks, on the gums an
the inner surface of the lips. Thes
vesicles contain yellow, watery flui
+ and spread rapidly. Soon after the
e first appear in the mouth the feet b
come red, swollen and tender. TIL

START NEW CURRENCY SYSTEM.
Treasury Department Completes Plans
to Start Business This Week.

Treasury Department Completes Plans
to Start Business This Week.
The treasury department has now
completed it's plans whereby the new
system of regional banks will be put
into operation all over the country
in few days. The transforming of
our currency system has been the
most stupendous undertaking of our
government since the Civil War. The
old currency system under which we
were doing business, and are still do
ing business, has been serious dan
ger to the entire world. Nothing but
the unlimited natural riches and
wealth and foreign capital has enabled
us to escape financial breakdown
before this. The new system will
provide the element of elasticity to
the currency so that when business
begins to boom as it is bouni to do IN
few weeks the currency will auto
matically expand in accordance with
the requirements of the booming busi-
ness.
The panics of 1893 and 1907
were both brought on by the exhaus-
tion of capital, that is, the volume of
capital failed to expand with the ex-
pansion of expanding business. Both
of those panics were financial panics
and they came as quickly and as sud
denly as thunder-clap out of clear
sky. Under our old system any era
of prosperity would be obliged to cul-
inmate in panic in a few years on
account of the crudeness and inelas'
ITCHY of our system that can be de
vised as we have borrowed the best
features from the financial systems Of
England, France and Germany which
are the three best systems the
world today.

Public Service Commissions In The
United States

The spread of regulation of business
by administrative commission is one of
the most marked and important politi-
co.economic developments III the
United States III this generation, writes
Samuel 0. Dunn of the Railway Age
Gazette, in a recent number of the
North American Review,
The disqualifications of legislatures,
courts and ordinary executive officials
for the regulation of business hints at
some of the qualifications that ought to
be possessed 10y the members of regu-
lating commissions, he continues. Abil-
ity, expert knowledge, fairness i'll
utterance and act, moral courage to
resist public opinion when it is wrong
as we'll as to enforce their duty on re-
fractory public utility arrangements
when they ale wrong--theSe ale prime
essentials. But these qualities are by
no means universal.
While some members of the regulat-
ing commissions have had the needful
qualifications in a high degree, TOO
often we have found that many of
them hardly have them al all.
Most of the commissions have been
wanting i'll expert knowledge; many
have been without business capacity,
without professional attainments, and
woefully ignorant of economic princi-
pies.
The fact is cited that one of the fair
est, ablest and best equipped members
OF the interstate commerce commission
formerly served OH the Wisconsin rail-
road commission and before that was a
professor in the University of WiscOn-
SIN, where he specialized on %transporta-
ton. Then the writer concludes:
1t is not meant that we should gill
our commission with university pro-
f~essors, but merely that our commits
sions would be much strengthened and
our policy of regulation much improved
if we put fewer politicians on them, and
more men who have devoted them
selves TO the study of the problems
with which regulating bodies must
deal.

criticism OF rural districts and the agita-
tiou in the Legislature this year. the
Board deemed it advisable to make such
changes as to meet the objectioes OF the
rural districts.
One of the principal changes, which
wal advocated by the country districts.
will permit the erection of a frame
school building, two stories in height,
with eight classrooms. The staircases in
these structures must be fireproof, but
even this has been criticized, especially
by the Russell Sage Foundation, which
charges New Jersey with having a lax
building code for the protection of the
pupils OF various SCHOOLS. Another
change in the code eompels school dis
trects to make new additions to comply
with the building code.
