DOGS OF PENDLETOA FR!E
FROM RABIES SAYS TEMPLE
CITY PHYSICIAN BASES HIS
STATEMENT ON RESULT
OF ANALYSIS MADE.

That rabies has not made Its ap-
pearance among the dogs OF Pendleton
is the belief OF DR.. I. U. Temple. city
physician and health officer, and he
forms his opinion not only from his
personal observations but from the re-
suit OF an analysis made OF the head
OF dog sent 20 the state health Of
flcer.
A short time ago the police were
called upon 20 kill dog that appar-
entity was mad. In response to tel
ephonc call they made their way to
The west end OF the city and found
that families had shut themselves In
doors through fear Of the animal. The
dog was very emacIated and weak and
IL was very evident that II was In the
last stages OF some disease. II was
shot and DR.. Temple cut off the head
and sent Il to DR. Calvin S White
state health officer. This morning he
received the following letter from
DR.. White.
"In the brain OF the dog sent by
YOU 10 this laboratory yesterday, no
Negrl bodies were found. This does
not prove concluslvely that the AMI
mai did not have the rabies because,
II killed before the termination oil
the disease, organisms are not always
formed"
However. DR.. Temple believes that
the absence OF Negri bodies does
prove conclusively that the dog did
not have the rabies inasmuch as II
was in the final stages of disease. The
city officer believes the animal had
the dlstemper as have some 20 or
more other dogs which have been
killed here by people who feared they
had gone mad.

POINCA1RE REGRETS HIS HIGH OFFICE PREVENTS LEADING RIFLEMEN AGAINST ENEMIES

Paris, August 2.-President Poincaire to- day said his only regret was that his high office would prevent him from lead ing his company of Alpine riflemen in case France became engaged in war.
 Andre Magino, a deputy, has taken his place as a private in regiment in his constituency. M. Maginio was formerly under-secretary of state for war, and as such had a seat in the cabinet.
 The organization already has begun in Paris of battalions of foreign volunteers, notably Belgians, Slavs and Syrians. Sev- eral hundred Italians last night paraded through the downtown section.
 The mobilization order, of fateful brev. ity. read as follows:
 Ministry of war Order of general mobilization. Extreme urgency First day of mobilization Sunday, August 2''
 From all parts of France news came today that the mobilization order had been received with relief. 1t put an end to the strain and uncertainty of the last few days. There were patriotic mani festations throughout the night in almost all provincial towns and cities.
 There has been formed in Paris com mittee of influential Americans to take care of their countrymen in France who need assistance. Ambassador Herrclx is taking an active part in this work. Every American who needs advice or aid will be accommodated and it is probable tray elers will be helped in cashing their

 Diplomats revealed by their dispatches that conditions throughout Europe were becoming increasingly grave.
 AS Russia, Austria and Germany had asked the United States to care for their Diplomatic interests, the American em- bassies at St. Petersburg Berlin and Vienna today were intrusted with new duties. England and France have in qrired if the United States would take charge of their interests in Europe, fin case of emergency" This request like wise has been favorably acted upon.
 Nothing definite came to the Washing ton government about the situation in the far east. This is giving officials much concern. The oroba bility of q conflict there between German and Russian war ships was discussed. With the departure of the Germans from the allied forces at Peking, complications in China temporari- ly have been removed. Administration of- fiicials are determined neutrality shall be strictly observed In American ports in the Philippines.
 So far as can be learned the United States will not attempt to mediate in the European tangle, at least until the situa- tion develops more clearly.
 The President today told friends he was glad the Panama tolls exemption had been repealed and that the United States was on friendly terms with all Europe, He spoke. too, of his qualification that peace in Mexico was near, thus removing a troublesome international problem.
 The feeling of the President is one of desperate hope that the great powers nay not engage in general hostiities.
 He and Secretary Bryan are in constant touch with the situation.

 According to the Novoe Vremya Won Pourtales held the typewriter texts of two replies from Germany.
