and more. He didn't exactly boast
about it; he was only gleeful In a

Sanitary board have opened their cam
paign to stamp out the foot and mouth
disease in Delaware.
The cattle ON the Derickson farm
were destroyed yesterday afternoon by
DR.. j. p. Ewes, State veterinarian, and
the carcasses buried in large pit, lined
with quick lime.
Announcement was made today by
DR.. Ewes that it is probable new cases
of the disease may develop among
the herd on the T. L. Bailey farm.
These animals will again be exam
ined this afternoon and If infect ed
will be killed at once. Besides five or
six cows, II may be necessary to kill
twenty-three sheep belonging to Mr..

That the fight against the foot and
mouth disease will be costly is evil

Wesley Webb concerning the cost of
cattle destroyed on the Derickson
farm. Expense of this is placed at
not less than $500. Mr.. Webb ex-

Because of the fear of many farmers
throughout the county that dogs may
carry the hoof and mouth disease and
thus lead TO the determination Of
horses and cattle, a quarantine IN all
probability will be established tomor-
row morning against dogs running at
large and against all forms of hunting
by the Sanitary Live Stock Board.
The board has found a general de-
sire on the part of farmers throughout
the county to assist in observing and
enforcing the quarantine against the
moving of cattle and farm stock hay
and other forage from farms without
a permit first having been obtained.
It is realized by the farmers, as was
first recognized by Governor Miller
and the Sanitary Live Stock Board,
that the strictest precautions must be
observed to protect Delaware's farm
animals from the plague.
Many Of the farmers, as the CUNNING
season, opening on Monday next, ap
proaohes, fear that dogs running owe
farm lands may help TO spread thi
plague and they have been besiegins
Governor Miller and the Live Stocf
Board to declare a quarantine against
dogs and against fox hunting and othel
forms of hunting throughout th'
county. Some farmers already have ad
vertised that they will permit no dog
or hunting on their estates.
So repeated and insistent have beer
( the requests that a quarantine against
dogs and against hunting be established

meeting of the Sanitary Live Stool
Board for 10 o'clock tomorrow morning
when it is altogether likely that rigil
quarantine will be ordered against dog
running at large, and against all form
of hunting throughout the county.
1t was learned today that Brandy
wine hundred man who is fond of FOX
hunting desired to ride into Pennsyl
vania with his fox hounds, but was in
formed bv the quarantine officers o
that State that every dog that crossed

LONDON, Nov. 12.-The German
submarine menace again held the at
tention of the Admiralty today. Sc
lecting a new zone of operation and
creeping TO within a mile of the coast
of Deal, only eight miles from Dover
and 65 miles from London, a German
submarine tOrpedoed and sent to the
bottom the British gunboat Niger.
The Niger was in full view of hun
dreds on shore when a dense column
of smoke was suddenly seen to rise
from her. She gave heavy list and
within a short time her crew was in
the water, clinging to her shattered
woodwork and bits of furniture. The
loud explosion brought the people oi
Deal rushing to the pier. The res
cue of the crew by galleys. which hur-
ried out, could be seen from shore.
There were perhaps hundred YES
sells anchored in the Downs about the
Niger. The Admiralty officers are to-
day admittedly suspicious of one small
cruiser which had been anchored
alongside the Niger for several days
She flew the Dutch flag. This war
ship left the Downs only a short time
before the Niger was struck. EnOrts
to learn the identity of the mysteriou:
cruiser have failed and some expires:
the belief that she was not Dutch, bu
a German vessel, covering the move
ments of the submarine.
Lieutenant Commander Muir, com
manding the Niger, in an interview
following the disaster, said he could
see the torpedo which struck his yes
sci coming toward him, but was help
1 less. Members of the crew declared
they saw the body of the submarine
come to the surface for an instant fol
