Answer to German Attack.

The announcement by the German
admiralty of an attempt by British
warships against the German coast Is
the first intimation of what appears
to be a reply to the recent attack by
German cruisers against the English
aeaports of Scarborough. Whitby and
Hartlepool, the British authorities
having, as yet. made no mention OF
this operation.
From the reference to Cuxhaven in
the German announcement. 1t would
seem that the German rivers indicated,
but NOT named, were the Elbe and
Weser. Cuxhaven is fortified seaport
of Germany. fifty-eight miles west
northwest of Hamburg. 1t is at the
mouth of the estuary of the Elbe. me
,nnroyimate distance across the North
sea from the English coast to CIx-
haven is $50 miles.

The foot and mouth disease which is
destroying cattle in IT,, Middle Western
and Western States, has been discover
ed among New Castle herds, and as a
result the county will be quarantined.
Four OF FIVE well developed cases OF
the scourge have been located in a herd
which was shipped to farmers in Mil.
Creek hundred from Lancaster, Pa. The
discovery was made by DR.. Charles A.

P. Eves, Delaware State veterinarian.
As a result of their investigations,
the experts have been summoned to
appear before the Live Stock Sanitary
Board which met here early this after
noon to consider the situation and de-
wise ways and means of preventing the
spread Of the disease. Both Dr. Shauf-
Ter and his colleague admit that the
presence Of the foot and mouth disease
demands drastic action and it is not
improbable that all movement of cattle
in this county viii be prohibited.
That the situation demands drastic
action TO prevent a spread of the dis
ease, is the statement OF DIR. II. P. Ewes,
who will be in charge of the fight
against the scourge in Delaware

cases Of foot and mouth disease among
fhe cattle belonging TO Leslie Derrick
son and shall kill his entire herd at

"We shall also destroy other stock ke
has on his place ms well as house cats.
His dogs viii not be killed. but the
pigeons he has will have to be done
away with at once. Mr.. Derrickson re-
ceived his cattle from Lancaster, Pa,
and in the same shipment were cows
for Reuben Satterthwaite and Thomp-
son Bailey. We have not discovered
the disease among herds on the Sat
terthwaite OF Bailey farms, but as the
cattle came into the county with those
on the Derrickson farm, they are being
closely watched.
"The situation here requires that we
act at once. Veterinarians from all
parts of the State will meet with Gov
ernor Charles r. Miller, members Of the
Live Stock Sanitary Board and myself
at the Hotel DUPONT at l o'clock this
