RHODE ISLAND WILL
 .BE PLACED UNDER 4 QUARANTINE TODAY
Will Not Permit Shipment of Live Stock From State. Eleventh State To Be
 Quarantined

Washington, November s-An order quarnntining Rhode Island against shipments of live stock was prepared tonight by the. department of asrfcuI- ture for issuance tomorrow.
 Cases of foot and mouth disease were reported during the day from the vtcin- fly of Johnson and Washington.
 Rhode leland will make the eleventh stnte to be quarantined. sfassachusetts New York, ohio. Pennsylvania Indians, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan. Wiscon- sin and Iowa compose the area already affected.
 Secretary Houston tonight said this ep- idemic of ''one of the most contagious and destructive 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 local ized and eradicated. he said, 1t threatens untold losses among live stock. Fearfully Contagious
 'So contagious Is the disease said the secretary, that in past outbreaks where but one animal in the herd was threatened, the entire herd in almost all cases later contracted the sickness. While the mortality is not high, the effects of the disease even on animals that recover are such as to make them practically use less.
 '.It is possible to cure the external symptoms, but during the process of at tempting to cure one sick animal the chances are that hundreds of others may be infected. The treatment of killing ot single animal in herd was tried in an outbreak and did not prove effective.
 "veterinary authorities of the United States are agreed that the only method of combating the disease is to stop al movement of stock and materials which have been subjected to any danger of in lection, and to kill off without delay al herds in which the disease has gained any foothold.
 Quarantine Children
 In some cases, because human beings can carry the disease to other herds,- tht state authorities have prevented childrer of infected farms from attending school
 "At present the chief danger lies 1T the possibility of there being concealed sources of infection. Every effort i,

Ut Is believed that the people of Ala bama. secure in peaceful pursuits, and free from the distresses of their brothers across the sea, will be quick to join in these efforts" said the governor.
 The chief executives appeal to the peo- pie of the state was issued in response to . cablegram from Herbert Clarke Hoover of London, England, chairman of the American relief commission.
 James BOwron Chairman f. In calling upon the state to assist the Belgians, the governor named a central committee. with James Bowron of Bir- nlingham as chairman.
 Following is the text of the governors appeal: '.Of the many distressing features of the terrific and unfortunate struggle now going on between the nations of Europe. there are none which ought to appeal more strongly to a sympathetic world than the suffering and distress of the brave peo- pie of Belgium. Since the beginning of hostiities their country has been over run and devastated. their cities have been burned or otherwise destroyed, their homes have beon wrecked, and thousands of the heads of families have been killed, named or made prisoners. For weeks the press dispatches have been filled with deeply pathetic stories of the awful con- ditions which obtain in that distressed country. As winter approaches, a fate worse than death confronts hundreds of thousands of innocent women and chfl- dren. Gaunt famine already stalks abroad. eA
 Heed Humanity's Call
 '"The dictates of the highest principles of humanity. not to refer to the call which such conditions always nave for a Christian community, should prompt the people of the United States to use every exertion to assist in the relief measures now being projected throughout the world. It Is belieevd that the noble people of Alabama, secure in peaceful pursuits, and free from the distresses of their brothers across the sea, will be quick to join in these efforts. In order that prompt measures may be taken. this appeal is submitted to them. in which plan or organization is proposed. whereby the eituation can be most satisfactorily met" \ The governor then quotes Mir Hoovers Gablegram in which he is asked to in- terest the people of Alabama in the dis dressing condition which coufronts the Eclgians Continuing the governors ap- peal reads:

 Belgians Also Progress
 Tho Belgians. holding the line reach ing to the coast, also have made prog ress. It would seem the Germans still are waiting for additional reinforce rnents before renewing their attempt to smash through to theFrench sea ports.
 Tho fighting today was carried on in . fog, which interferred with the work of the aiImen and likewise with the ar fillery.
 While the allies offensive in the west has given hope in London that the Germans will fall back to a line fur ther removed from the sea, all uneasi- ness has not passed, for they previous ly s$ve shown wonderful recuperative powers. The presence of the Russians in East Prussia and Si1esia, however, will, 1t is believed here, prevent the Germans from sending any more troops to the west If it does not compel them to withdraw some already at that front.

 The Telegram
 The telegram follows;
 'I wish to inform you that General Gutierrez, who repudiated the Aguas Calientes convention and the Villa clique has been captured by General Villa and imprisoned. The reason for the action was because he failed to live up to the dictations and demands of the Villa people.
 'I wish further to inform you that consider the actions of the convention as farce and for that reason alone am forced not to recognize its action. The convention, which was dominated by Villaistas and reactionaries, failed to accomplish the task it set out to do Instead of working out 8 set of regula- tions and rules by which Mexico might attain it's normal conditions of peace and prosperity, they appointed another provisional President, hoping to be able to dominate him.
