Colorado Closed to Illinois Stock.
Denver.-Dr. W. w Yard, state vet
erinarian, has issued warning to
stockmen who are buying dairy cows
in the East that no animals from Hi
nois will be allowed entrance into Col
orado unless a test chart signed by
the state veterinarian of Illinois at
tests the health of the cows. The
warning is result of the trouble
which state authorities and stockmen
have experienced from the sale of
tubercular cattle in Illinois by
dealer who, it is alleged. has made
specially in the past OF trading in
fattened but diseased cattle. One
shipment of dairy cows to Colorado
without the necessary approval of the
Illinois state veterinarian has already
been stopped at KSlsas City. The
railroads have been 'advised by DR..
Yard not to accept cattle shipments
without the proper charts, and are
following the advice. Only test charts
signed by the state veterinarian of H.

SHORTAGE CAUSED RETREAT.
Lack of Food and shortage of Am
munition Caused Germans to
Yield Ground.

Rotterdam-There seems to be lit
tie doubt that the German retirement
in the western theater of the war was
due largely to the subsistence prob
lem, with which the army had bef2
wrestling for some time. owing to the
rapid advance.
Authoritative information, describ-
ing conditions at the front, indicates
that the troops subsisted largely on
the food which they Communicated
and, in many cases, lived on dry
bread for more than week. This
was especially the case with those
advancing by way of Belgium. who
were obliged to fall back further than
those in the south.
1t is also learned that for a time
the ammunition supply was not equal
to the consumption.
Confidence that these conditions
can be remedied is responsible for
the optimism with which the situa-
ton is regarded by Germans.
