~ OvnRNOR MILLER deserves much credit for the
" energy he is displaying in dealing with the foot
and mouth disease menace TO cattle in this State His
intelligent aggressivenoss the matter should serve
as an inspiration to all Delawareans, particularly to
those who own cattle TO cooperate tothe fullest pos
sible extent with those who have the fight in charge
when the news first appeared that the dreaded dis
ease had broken out in several Middle Western and
Eastern States and that it had appeared in sew
eral places in neghboring State VI Pennsylvania,
It became apparent to the Governor and TO all other
Dclawareans that the menace at doors and
that steps must be taken meet it, Not long after
ward reports from Marshallton and Brandywino
Springs showed that the disease had made its way
into our State and that unless prompt steps were
taken to cope with it, the Delaware herds would be
wiped out and the entire DelmGrvia Peninsula might
become involved in the trouble II at that critical
uncture that Governor Miller asserted himself and
nut the machinery Of our state in motion TO protect
the farmers against such loss. subsequently the aid
OF the Federal Government invoked and quickly
extended
Now that the Governor and other State officials arc
prepared to do their utmost the cattle in Della
ware the very least that the cattle do in
return is to give hearty cooperation and 20 report
promptly every animal that shows the slightest symp

German colonies, where they might

two points: First, How many mil

German policy coveted. Won Bern
hardi artlessly admitted this when
he wrote. "In one way or another
we must square our account with
France If we wish for a free hand

first and foremost condition of
sound German policy, and since the
hostility of France cannot be re-
moved by peaceful overtures the
matter must be settled by force OF
arms. France must be so completely
crushed that she can never again
come across our path"
Reaching out for the colonies OF
other nations, Germany has now lost
most of her own. France has not
been crushed and there is no reason
to think that she will be- On the
contrary she may ultimately be in
position to take over some of Ger

a colonial empire rested on the pos

Germany's Shattered Dream Of, Colonial
