Paris. April 25.-Several scientists and

For the last year or two foOt-and-
mouth disease has been a very serious
plague in Switzerland. the number of
cases in 1913 having amounted to more
than $780, an increase of 1895 over 1912.
DR. Stauffacher states that he has dis
covered the cause of foot-andmOuth

process, he has succeeded in rendering

GARRISON ASKS 100000.

Although no direct reference to the
Mexican situation was made. Secretary
Garrison sent to the House yesterday
requests for two deficiency appropria-
tons which are needed in the present
crisis. One asks for $4,000 to supply de-
iciencies in the printing allowance of
the army for the remainder of the fiscal
year and another for $4,000 for the mile
age allowance of officers.
The Secretary says without an ade-
quate printing fund there will be con-
fusion in the printing and issuance of
army orders. The mileage allowance, he
says, was exhausted at the beginning of
the fourth quarter of the fiscal year The
House probably will allow both items as
they indirectly have bearing on the
movement Of troops.

Washington, Sept 1o.--The admins

caused by the war was completed to-
day by the committee on ways and
means. The emergency measure appifes
Taxes are levied on these items that
are expected to yield s107 100000 a
wear The bill provides that tax of
3 per cent shall be levied on railway
freight. a tax of 90 cents gallon on
wines and an increased tax on beer
from 81 to s1.5e a barrel.
According to estimates made by the
committee, the taxes will produce these
revenues:
Beer. s3s. 600. ooo; wines. 100000:
freight ss5, 0on.0 900.
President Wilson is not opposed to
the tax on freight. He was consulted
and gave hts approval before the fea-
ture was adopted,
1t Is possible that before the bill
Is adopted an amendment will be In
corporated empowering the president
to suspend the tax on freight at any
time that he regards the treasury in
good enough shape to do without it. II
the president recommends such a pro-
vision IL will be written into the bill
However, members of congress do not
believe that such power should be
vested In the president.
In agreeing to the tax on freight, the
Democratic leaders explained that they
were actuated by desire to distri-
butte the burden as widely as possible.
Under this tax. which is novel In
the revenue legislation OF the United
States, everybody will have to contr. .
butte his mite for the support of the
government
The proposed tax on railway tickets
was discarded because * was direct
charge. and would be paid only by a
comparatively small proportion OF the
people.
