DON'T WORRY
ABOUT THIS
COW DISEASE
BY FREDERICK NJ. KERRY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-No-
body need be unduly alarmed
about the possibility of human
infection from ot-and-mouth
disease" The spread of this dis
ease to cattle in various sections
of the country, and it's consequent
quarantine by the Department OF
Agriculture. has caused consid-
cradle anxiety az to its possible
effect upon human beings.
AS a matter OF fact the foot
and-mouth disease has been so
rare in this country that there are
few recorded cases of its trans
mission to human beings. In
1902 few cases were reported In
New England, and in 1908 in a
few instances eruptions were
found in the mouths of children
which were believed to have been
caused by contaminated milk. In
both cases, the sale of milk was
stopped as soon as the disease
was found among the cows. SO
long, therefore. as the disease can
be confined by the rigid quaran-
tine which the Department of
Agriculture has ordered and is en-
forcing, the danger from infected
milk is small. Should the pesti-
lence spread all over the coun-
try, and become as general as 1t
has been at various times in
Europe, the problem would be-
come more serious.
But under any circumstances,
pasteurization of the milk would
be an efficient remedy.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Hiram

when David Courtney. a brother OF
Mrs Judkins whom she had not seen
for Al years, called upon her. She, was
almost unnerved by the meeting and
it was some time before she could be
made to believe that the stranger be-
fore her was really her brother. she
could see no resemblance in. the man
to anyone whom she could remember
and he was obliged to call to her mem

hood before she would admit his iden-
tity.
The last time that the two met az

was at Lowell Mass, Al years ago. at
which time she and her brother, also
Mr.. Judkins, were boarding at the
same place. After her marriage with
Mr.. Judkins she came to Augusta.

KING GIVES HIS
OPINION OF WAR


Rome, via Paris, Oct. 15.-(2.04 A. Nj.
The Gazetta Del Popolo, a Turin news
paper, having asked King Nicholas of
Montenegro to give his views regarding
the war. received an answer from Gen
eral Martinovitch who. in the name of
the King. replied as follows:
This terrible war is the revenge-at-
tempted throughout century. which
this time we hope Will be strictly defined
of oppressed nationalites against the
nefarious work of the Vienna congress
The nationalities supported by the Triple
Entente did not provoke the sanguinary
struggle, which was imposed upon them
by the reactionary spirit of the German
world, wishing definitely to consolidate
it's own reign on the sufferings of the
weak in contempt of international law"
The general added that the neutrality
of Italy contributed to the success
against the oppressors. The italian gov
eminent, he continued, will be able to
choose the moment, favorable to take
such new decisions as are claimed by
Italian interests. He ended by saying
he hoped that Italy, besides rejoining
her children still outside her kingdom,
would help the Slav nationalties in the
Balkans to take the place due them on
the steps of the altar where justice is
law.

London, Oct. 10, 1906 A. M.-The
gloom which has enveloped England
since the fall of Antwerp has been
somewhat lightened by the news con-
tanned in official communications that
the allies are more than holding their
own in the furious fighting along the
Franco Belgian border, but this feel
Ing of citation has been tempered by
the growing realization that the Rus
sian invasion of Silesia. which was
believed to be imminent, must be
postponed indefinitely pending the out
come of the battle in Russian Poland.
Russia in the east seems to have
been compelled to follow the steps of
her enemy in the west and sacrifice
the fruits of her victories by sending
reinforcements to another part of the
long battle front. The resumption OF
the Austro-German offensive in Gallcla
was an outcome of the action of Rus
STA in sending heavy reinforcements
to the river Niemen, evidently under
the impression that the German inVa-
sion of the Suwalki district was real
menace and not merely diVerung
movement. The withdrawal of Russian
forces from western Galicia, however,
is regarded here to be not as compete
as at first reported, for Vienna ad-
mits that Przemysl is still invested
on one side, while Petrograd reports
that the garrison of this fortress has
been invaded by disease and is on the
point of capitulation.
other dispatches from the Russian
capital refer to activity along the VS.
tuia river. where several attacks are
said to have been repulsed, and de-
clare that hte great battle probably is
now under way unless the Austro-Ger-
man advance has been hampered by
bad weather.
Some idea can be gained nj the
ferceness of hte fighting in western
France by the fact that the town OF
Rove. now in possession of the allles'
has been taken and re-taken no less
than IL times. There is no question In
the minds of British observers, but
that the German army is making oes-
perate efforts to reach the channel

Washington, Oct 15.-While high ad-

were in the same class as munitions of
war and other classes of contraband,
trade which the American government
was neither legally obligated by in
