STOCK NOT
INFECTED

The fact that DR.. William Schu-
machter, deputy U. S. stock inspec-
tor. found the cattle recently shipped
here from Kansas City were not suf-
fering from the foot and mouth" dis
ease, removes the fear of its existence
in these parts. The doctor thinks
there is very little danger of the stock
here contra citing it.
DR.. Schumacher has had extended
experience with the disease in Ger
many and helped to stamp it out in
Massachusetts twelve years ago. He
was lcrving as government stock in
spector at the time of the outbreak.
The disease was Immediately recog-
nized but is it so extremely contagi-
Gus that it was disseminated over
quite an area. Prompt measures era
dicated it, but not until it had cost
the government about s4,oO0,OOO.
Dairy cows, DIR. Schumacher tells
US, are more susceptible to the dis
ease than others. The germ has
never been discovered, but it is des-
igrated by very lengthy scientific
term, which means "too small to be
seen by the microscope
Origin of the Outbreak.
According to the bureau Of animal
industry, the recent outbreak is sup
posed to have originated from ship
ments of hides from the Philippines,
or possibly from the products Of tan
neries sent to the United States from
South America.
While the most efficient methods
and regulations have been used to
control it, the spread has been rapid,
and it has proved so highly contagi-
Gus that where an animal in a herd
contracts it, not one of the number is
apt to escape.
The Quarantine.
Stockmen in this section will be in
terested in the bulletin just sent out
by the bureau of animal industry in
which the following rules for quaran-
tine are given, and which apply 70 all
places where the disease is found.
All cattle, sheep and hogs found
on the infected premises are slaugh-
tered and buried in quick lime in pits
10 feet deep. al buildings. feed lots,
yards and equipment are sprayed with
compound cresol solution. Buildings
are fumigated with formaldehyde gas.
No livestock are allowed TO occupy
the buildings until after four months
from the time the infected herds were
slaughtered.
All infected premises are under
rigid quarantine. People are not all
lowed to leave the infected farms.
Children canont attend school. Dogs
are tide up or killed. Highway traffic
through the infected area is stopped.
Transportation of livestock through
the district is prohibited.
The owners of the stock are COM
pensatcd by the federal government
and the state in which the disease oc-

expense, as well as the expense Of

WAR NEWS FEAruRrs


BERLIN, Oct. 29.-(By Mail tc
New York. )-Eyen chess is having q
part in this great war. Such AN emi-
nent master OF pawns, rocks and cas-
ties as DIR. Emanuel Lasker, the
champion OF the world, compares the
campaign now being fought on French
territory with the ancient and hon
orable chess.
For example he draws an analogy
between the radical change in chess
tactics instituted by Morphy and car.
ried on by Steinitz and the present
grand tactics of war.
Today the advantage in both mill
tary and chess tactics is gained by
slow preparation and systematic ex.
ecution. Final victory is achieved by
the gradual building up Of small ad.
vantages, robbing the enemy of the
ability TO move and then forcing
them into defeat.
Lasker has made a study of the
campaign in France and this is what
ne says, in part:
"At present, when ON line ex-
tending over 200 kilometers French
and German are opposing each other
well covered in trenches, weaken.
ing effect on either position remains
slight. The operations which bring
about decision-rapidity Of attack
ON a gap in the center, the dexter
Gus encircling Of wing, the sudden
massing of troops, or a bayonet at
tack-are impracticable in such a
position as thep resent.
"For the cavalry there is nothing
for the infantry little to do; the ar
tillery alone has the word. Day in
day out, the artillery throws its shots
on the artillery of the enemy. The
effect is slow, because the troops are
well protected, almost invisible, and
standing nowhere in massed forma-
ton. A turn of the flanks is an OPP
Grafton of great difficulty, as, with
the length of the front, there is hard
iy room for the development of a
thanking body.
I'm short, in the present position
of affairs, generals problem is
quite analogous to the task of chess
champion who has to take his oppon.
ent's strong position. And probably
it will be the same mental auxiliaries
that will serve to provide the solu.
tion.
"The position is very favorable
one for the Germans, because its
strategy, which may be distinctly
seen requires great deal Of time
The next objective of our army Is
Verdun. This will fall, unless the
crown princes and Bavarian plani
miscarry.
"In the former event, the French
will have to fall back OH the line Of
Toul- -Chalons, but Torl, vulnerable a,
it is on three sides, will be destroy
ed. Epinal and Nancy will then be
come untenable. This development
appears unavoidable so long only al
the French do not succeed in fore
ing back our main army"
