Reports from the west said that the
disease had spread in Indiana and in
Michigan.
Unofficial statements were made to the
effect that the spread Of the disease
around Hagerstown. Md, is due to the
curiosity Of farmers who insist upon Wis

are affected. The disease Is 30 highly in
fectious that 1t can be easily carried from
one farm to another and from one herd
to another in this way.
Reports from Maryland counties show
that the federal inspectors are hard at

have been slaughtered and disposed Of
according to law. Hunting has been pro-
hibited in Washington county by the local
authorities As precaution against
spreading the disease.
Large Force Of Inspectors.
There are SEQ federal inspectors In
the field in addition to the laborers
employed by them. This force is sup
plemented by the state health and vet

AMERICANS IN TURKEY
IN NO DANGER FROM WAR
Ambassador Morgenthau Reports
Porte Anxious to Show Courtesy
to Non-Combatants.

Americans in Turkey have not been
molested in any way since the out
break of the war and are in no danger.
Ambassador Morgenthau reported to-
day.
The Turkish minister of war in
formed Mr. Morgenthau that Turkey
was anxious to conduct the war with
every possible consideration and cour-
tesy to non-combatants, but that II
England and Greece attacked any un-
fortified towns reprisals would follow
in the detention Of their subjects.
Has But One Recourse.
Turkey. according to it's war minister,
has neither soldiers nor ships to send
against its enemies to lombard their
unfortified towns, and would have only
one recourse-to hold the subjects Of
the enemy as hostages.
. Mr.. Morgenthau reported. however.
that he was making rapid progress in
arriving at an. understanding with the
Ottoman officials regarding the depart
ure Of British and French subjects, and
that he had already secured the release
of several Englishmen who had been
Imprisoned. He said nisunderstand-
ings on the question of detained Brit
ish and French subjects were daily
being removed.
Recent reports that American ma,
rines had been landed at Beirut,
Syria, were declared by President Will
son to be untrue in his opinion. He
added he had received no definite word
on the question.
No Word From q. S. Cruisers.
No word has come to the Navy De-
partment for a week from the cruisers
North Carolina and Tennessee in the
Mediterranean sea off the coast of Tur
key. Secretary Daniels has been trying
to get in touch by cable with the COM
manders of these vessels, but SO far
without success.
From references in official messages
to apprehension on the part Of Turkish
officials that Greece would lombard
unfortified towns on the Ottoman coast,
the belief grew in diplomatic circles
today that participation of Greece in
the general European war was becom-
ing more probable.
Official advices from Bulgaria and
Roumania have been meager and there
has been little light shed here on the
report that Russian diplomacy was en-
deavoring to persuade Servia to give
Bulgaria q section of Macedonia as a
boon for the latter's entry into the
war.

For Standard Naming System.
"rhe time is at hand for establishing
a standard naming system for differ
ent varieties OF the same CROP" de-
clared E. G. Montgomery of Cornell
University, speaking yesterday after
noon at the opening session.
How little most of us know about
the origin of our Common varieties of
farm crops" declared the speaker.
"For example, those who have been
in agronomy work for twelve or ff-
teen years can recall when Swedish
select oats or Kherson oats were in
troduced, but how many young men
who have come into the field in the
last five years know anything about
Swedish select or Kherson, how or
when they were introduced, or how
to find this out?
Works on Plant Strains Needed.
"If we had something on our shelves,
compared with the herd books put out
by the various live stock breeders as
sociations it would be possible. when
we wanted to secure information about
particular variety, to do SO. This
would also serve to keep history
straight regarding the new selected
strains being put out by the plant
breeders"

a technical nature, at the session yes

Farm Managers End Meeting
After Election of Officers
and Delivery of Addresses

With the election of officers and op-
timistic predictions for the farmer of
the future. the fifth annual meeting Of
the American Farm Management AS
sociation came to close this afternoon
at the National Museum.
The new officers are: Andrew Boss Of
st. Paul, Mimi. president; ]. A Foord
of Amherst, Mass, vice president. and
@. A. Billings of this city. secre-
tary-treasurer, reelected. The appoint
ment of the two standing committees
on investigation and teaching will be
at the pleasure of the president.
The difference between the farmer of
yesterday and the farmer OF today
formed the theme of the address OF the
retiring president. Prof. D. H. Otis of
dress was acclaimed by members of
the association as one Of the features
of the two-day meeting. Prof. Otis
said, in part:
Farmer Of the Future.
'.If the farmer of today succeeds he
must use his brain. In the past the
farmers, by taking the stored-up fer
tility that has been the result of ages Of
accumulation, have been little more than
miners moving from farm to farm and by
their system Of crop production have
been taking from the soil the elements
of plant growth and restoring nothing
therefor.
1.-THE future farmer. as represented in
the well trained agriculturist. is one who
will look upon his farm operations In q
businesslike way and will conduct 1t
upon business principles. When he
reaches the point where he gets good re-
turns for his capital invested and his
own labor and that Of his own family and
at the same time maintains and even in
creases the fertility of the soil. he will
become indeed and truly farmer.
''The farm manager recognizes the dig
nifty of farming Before farming becomes
what it should be the farmers must see
1t in the proper light They must realize
the dignity Of their calling and not look
upon It as despised occupation; but
rather the farmer should be proud of
calling himself farmer. and under no
circumstances use the expression. oh.
I'm only a farmer

STARTS MILE OF PENNIES
FOR BELGIAN QUEEN FUND
Mrs. Ellis Logan Proposes to Keep
Hoard Open for Contributions
for One Week.

A mile Of pennies, to which It is hoped
every child in Washington will con.
tribute, is a scheme started today by
Mrs. Ellis Logan, president Of tho Dis
trict Federation Of Women's Clubs, to
help augment tho funds for fitting out
the mercy ship to tho Queen Of Bel
GUM.
Mrs. Logan said she felt that every
ono in the capital should have some
part in this work of relief. and that
she realized many could not afford
to give large contributions, but that
all could afford one cent. For this
reason she is arranging to get a GEN.
trally located window where these PEN
nies can be on view. and where the
children may see their pile grow each
day.
She proposes that this penny hoard
may be kept open for contributions
for one week and urges that Sunday
school classes and other similar Or
ganizations come in a body to put
their contributions on the pile. She
hopes to have some prominent officials
start the pile.
Not Limited to a Mile.
She is not at all set on limiting tho
penny contributions to one mile and
thinks 1t would be a fine idea for the
children to see just how far they can
make their pennies reach toward sup
plying food for the children in Belgium.
One contribution to the clubwomen's
relief fund was made yesterday by the
mission society of the Fourth Presby-
terian Church, and similar organiza-
tions are expected to follow this good
example.

dress this meeting. but the entire pro-
gram has not yet been arranged.

CUSTOMS COURT HEARS
REBATE APPEAL CASE
Question of Preferential Tariff Like
ly to Go to United States Su-

Arguments began today before the
Customs Court in the appeal of i'm
porters and the government to deter
mine the validity of the clause of the
| Underwood tariff act which
gives per cent discount on goods
| imported in American bottoms.
The board of general appraisers, the
court of first resort in customs cases.
decided several months ago that the
discount must be given in all cases, If
given at all, because of the favored ma
tion clause in treaties between the
United States and leading maritime ma
tions.
May Go to Supreme Court.
When created the Customs Court was
| the last resort in customs cases. but
the law has been amended SO that a
review may be had by the Supreme
Court on writ of certiorari.
Since the Interpretation of treaties is In
volved, it is probable that no matter how
the customs court decides an attempt will
be made to take the case to the Supreme
Court of the United States.
| Former Attorney General McReynolds,
row on the Supreme Court bench, held in
an opinion, sent the the Secretary or the
| Treasury. that the discount clause was IN
operative because it violated treaties. In
view of this opinion no actual discount
ras been allowed, pending court de-
cision.
Has Bearing on Revenues.
Officials in Washington were particular
| ly interested today in the case because
of the falling of in customs revenues un-
der war conditions.
They pointed out that II the administra-
ton gets its bill through Congress to
spend $3o,0o0,O0o in buying ships to

LITTLE DANGER FROM LEPsRs

The cid leper tradition dies hard.
Washington has been excited again,
and congress has been all stirred up,
because John Early, sort of nation

with train passengers and hotel
guests.
Any well informed Doctor will prob
ably say that John Early is at least

sufferers from tuberculosis, menin-
gifts Or contagious blood diseases who
frequent public places without hin

with them is much less dangerous
than with a yellow fever or small

declare that It is contagious only "a

conditions. Improper nourishmont

The horror with which nearly ev-
eryone regards this 'loathesome dis

coming down from biblicsi times
when so-called lepers we're callel
"unclean" and an igncrant iii ratl
or brutal society * nished them Il,

neglect instead of taking care Of

Take Plenty of Time to Eat

There is a saying that rapid eat
ing is slow suicide" If you have
formed the habit of eating too rapid
you are most likely suffering from
indigestion, or constipation, which
will result eventually in serious ill
ness unless corrected. Digestion be-
gins in the mouth. Food should be
thoroughly masticated and. insalibat,
ed. Then when you have a fullness
of the stomach or feel dull and stupid
after eating, take one Of Chamber
lain's Tablets. Many severe eases of
stomach trouble and constipation
have been cured by the use of these
tablets. They are easy to take and
most agreeable in effect Sold by all
dealers.
