Called November 20, Is the Re-
port.

Mexico City, Nov. 16.-Gen. Lucio
Blanco, one of the commissioners
named by the Aguas Calientes peace
convention to confer with General Car
rama, stated that Generals Carranza
and Villa had agreed upon suspen-
sion OF hostilities until November 20,
when the Aguas Calientes convention
will rcconvene and either ratify or
nullify the election of Gen. Eulalio
Gutierrez as provisional president.
Gen. Pablo Gonzalez is expected to
arrive here early from Aguas Calien-
tes. He will hold a short conference
with the conventions commissioners,
Generals Blanco, ObTegon, Hay and
Villareal. After this meeting General
Gonzalez will proceed to Orizaba to
confer with General Carranza.
The war department and the four
generals representing the Aguas Ca
lientes convention express the belief
that there is still hope for a peaceful
settlement of the difficulties.
The students in the federal district
are preparing for an immense mass
meeting and a parade in celebration of
the coming evacuation Of Vera Cruz,
which, the government papers say, will
occur ~oon.
Various labor organizations have
called upon the Carranza government
to raise the wages of the tramway
employees, who have been working un-
der government orders since the ma
tional authorities took over the opera
tion of the lines because of a strike.
The men have received an increase of
rs per cent in wages under the gov
ernment operation. An increase of
100 per cent is asked for, and afiiliat.

eral strike will be called II the govern.

worked out plans for withdrawal OF
the troops after the president and Sec
retary Bryan determined on the date
for the evacuation.
Mr.. Bryan announced that all the
Mexican factions had given assurances
and guarantees requested for the Vera
Cruz citizens who worked for the
American government, and that nuns
and priests, for whose personal safety
the United States had made itself re
sponsible, had left the city.
Plans for the evacuation practically
were completed some time ago wher

cattle ultimately eradicate the dis
ease. The federal quarantines are &C
companied by state and local quaran-
tines of individual infected farms.
From these no produce whatsoever
can be sent out. In many cases chill

school. and the farmer cannot drive
his horses on the public highways.

DRYS DECIDE TO Make
ANOTHER FIGHT N OHIO
Trustees Of Lnti-SaIOOn League VSte to
Submit to People New Statewide
Prohibition Amendment.

Columbus. - There will be another
state wide wet and dry fight in
Ohio next year. Trustees of the
Ohio Anti-Saloon League, at a meeting
here, voted unanimously to submit to
the people another statewide prohibi-
tion amendment to the constitution in
the 1915 municipal and township cleo
tion. What the trustees termed a dec
laration of principles for the coming
year was adopted. The declaration
follows:
THE adoption of the so-called home
rule amendment through a deceptive
title, corrupt methods and an unfair
count is a challenge to the manhood
OF Ohio. To allow it to remain as a
part of our constitution longer than
the first opportunity to remove it
would reflect on the patriotism and in
telligence of our citizenship.
I'VE are therefore convinced that
the fight should be renewed at once,
and that n vote should be taken, as
originally planned, in 1915, for the fol-
lowing reasons: Temporary defeat Of
righteous cause brings it one step
nearer to victory. The battle. on Nov.
was far from decisive. The vote re-
vealed the fact that the temperance
forces have more reason for assurance
Of ultimate victory than the liquor
forces have to believe that public opin-
ion will much longer tolerate the
traffic in Ohio. Twentysnine wet coun-
ties voted dry, and outside Of Cincin-
natl and Cleveland the state voted for
prohibition. More than 100000 voters
in Ohio are now ready for the aboli.
tion of the saloon and so voted on
Nov. 8. Seventy-nine counties voted
against the home rule amendment, 70
counties voted for prohibition. In 1915
there will be no state or national elec-
tion to furnish an opportunity for po.
litical vote trading. The counties are
now organized and a delay of two
years will require reorganization and
en- extra effort to start the work anew.
Every day we delay saloons will null
tiply in Ohio, and every saloon will be
a recruiting station for the enemy and
another fort must be taken.
AN expression of more than thou
sand churches, committees and sup
porters of the cause demonstrates that
the preference for a vote next year is
overwhelming. To postpone action is
to allow the fires of enthusiasm to
cool and permit county organizations
to disintegrate and give time for the
enemy to better entrench itself.
I'VE appeal to all good citizens to
help perfect county organizations,
close up the ranks and strengthen the
weak spots in our armor, pledging
anew their devotion to this cause un.
til we have a saloonless state.
ITO this end we recommend that
petitions be circulated at once and
that they be filed as soon as county
organizations are perfected. That a
convention be called at Columbus by
the headquarters committee in Janu
airy, 1915, for reports of progress and
for completing the plans of campaign
We depend for success upon the same
leader who commanded Moses to
speak to the children of Israel that
they go forward"

The foot-and-mouth disease affects
particularly cattle, swine and sheep.
1t is characterized by sores in the
the mouth which make swallowing
painful and frequently cause the ami
mails to refuse all food, and by sores
on the feet which cause lameness and
In severe cases, occasionally result IN
the hoofs dropping off. The animals
lose flesh with extraordinary rapidity
and in the case of milk cows the milk
supply is so seriously affected that it
frequently dries up altogether. The
first evidences of the disease are
chill followed quickly by fever, the
temperature sometimes rising as high
as 106 degrees Fahrenheit. Small
vesicles or blisters about the size Of
a pea appear shortly after in the
mouth and spread rapidly. AS the
disease advances ropy saliva hangs
from the afflicted animals mouth,
which is opened and shut with a
peculiar smacking sound. In a short
time similar eruptions appear on the
feet, which are red, tender. swollen
and painful In consequence the ami
NAL persists in lying down and bed
sores soon develop. The udders of
milk cows are also susceptible and
the sores interfere with milking.
Most Contagious Of Stock Plaques.
Although the mortality is, except in
very severe outbreaks, comparatively
low, foot-and-mouth disease is prob
ably the most contagious of all stock
plaques. The germ which causes it
is so small that it is invisible under
the miscroscope and passes through
the finest filter known to science. 1t
can be carried in any one of hun
dred ways. In addition to direct con-
tact with affected animals, the disease
can be communicated by hay, straw,
bedding, harness, ropes, in fact, any
thing that has even indirectly came
in contact with diseased animals.
Cats, dogs, and poultry have been
known to carry the germ from farm
to farm, and in particular this is fire.
Quently done by human beings. Al
ready In the present outbreak cases
are on record where the curiosity of
farmers has led them to visit infected
herds. On their return to their own
homes these men have given the dis
ease to their own animals. For this
reason the authorities are urging up
on every one the duty of refraining
from such visits and of keeping
strangers from visiting their stock.
The contagiousness of the disease
indeed is such that when one animal
in a herd becomes infected it is con-
sidered useless to attempt to save
the remainder of the herd. For this
reason the federal authorities have
adopted the only practical method Of
stamping out the disease. namely, the
slaughter of all cattle, sheep and
swine ON an infected farm. When a
case is discovered deep trench is
dug, the animals led into it, slaught-
cred. their hides slashed, and the car
casses treated with Quickline and
then buried under at least five feet of
earth. It is advisable to slaughter
the animals in the ditch itself in order
that the ground may not become af-
fected by dragging the dead bodies
over It. The hides are slashed part
ly in order to facilitate the action Of

direct financial loss. To those who
can see no further ahead than this
and who do not realize what it would
mean to the entire country If the dis
ease were once to gain a firm foothold
here, there is a natural temptation
not to report suspicious cases to the
authorities. This. however, Is simply
to cut off ones hose to spite ones
face. The disease cannot be stamped
out by ignoring it. The only possible
way in which stock raisers can save
themselves tremendous losses in the
future is to cooperate now with the
authorities by reporting every sus-
picious case of sore mouth or lame
ness among their stock and by as
sisting in enforcing the quarantines,

been declared.
