WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE sus-
ceptibllity OF swine to the foot and
mouth disease and the failure on the
part Of swine owners to recognize its
symptoms are giving the federal au-
thorities no small amount of worry
in their cleanup" campaign
Sore mouth, a common indication
OF the disease, is an ordinary sequence
OF hog cholera, and cOntusions on the
feet are frequent In swine which have
been driven or shipped. For these
reasons little attention is paid by the
owners Of swine to these symptoms.
and unless the herd is located within
suspicious territory foot and mouth
disease may continue in chronic
form for a considerable length OF time
before discovery. The danger Of
course lies in the ability Of these ami
mails to disseminate the disease.
Since the first case OF foot and
mouth disease found in a herd OF hogs
in Michigan, which later permitted
the infection Of the Chicago stock
yards, hogs more than any other ami
nal have been responsible for the
spread of the disease. A few months
ago, in the outskirts of Philadelphia.
In district containing close to 10000
swine kept in small lots, several thou.
sand were found to be infected
On July 2S foot and mouth disease
Infection was discovered to exist in
herd Of 20 cattle within the city lin
its OF Hornell. Steuben county, New
York. Another herd of % cattle.
pastured across the road from these,
had been exposed and is under sur
velllance. As no known cause of the
disease had previously been found
within a radius of over rs miles. the
source OF the infection remained
mystery until two days later, when 1875
swine, divided among five herds, were
found infected within a half mile OF
the first discovered premises. These
swine had evidently had the disease
In a mild form for considerable
length OF time. Infection had been
carried from these to the cattle
through drainage.
This again emphasizes the need. the
authorities state, for continued care
ful examination of all live stock in
previously infected areas, especially
large herds of swine. Farmers and
stock raisers by giving immediate no.
tice Of any suspicious cases to the
nearest health officer will greatly aid
the authorities in their efforts to ELI
inmate this pest. which is allowed to
gain a foothold would result in untold
damage to the nation.
Owing to the fact that few animals
are shipped from the section in which
the latest outbreak occurred, it is be-
Ileved that no serious or widespread
will result from this
new center of infection.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE end
Of the first year Of the colossal Eu-
ropean war brings with It no lndica-
tions that any Of the belligerents are
weakening in resolution or running
short of men or money. A review
of the financial drain upon the va
rious countries at war proves espe-
cially interesting at this time show
ing as it does, the gigantic cost of
war. Excluding Italy. the war loans
have aggregated approximately S15,-
5O0,O00,0 600 for all the other beIlig-
erents. Ito this must be added the
total Indebtedness of the warning ma
tions at the outbreak Of the war, in
cluding the debts Of the several
states of the German empire which
was approximately $4,000. 900. 600
and the resulting $4,000. 600 shows
what a stupendous burden these
countries are now bearing. The cash
expenditures Of Great Britain are
larger than those of any other coun-
~ % Sc NASt III Ailt army ana navy
Is voluntary and the pay and allow
ances are much higher than in the
continental countries. In March the
extraordinary expenditures Of Great
Britain were stated to be about $lO,-
100000 a day, but the chancellor of
the exchequer recently stated that
they had reached s15,000.OOO and
we're still rising.
The expenditures of the German
government are probably next to
those of Great Britain. The govern
ment has realized $3.49O. 100000 by
means Of two loans, which it is un-
derstood will carry the war into the
coming fall, but as its expenditures
have been growing, Il is probable that
they are now as much as $4,000, 900
per day Altogether the estimate Of
S50,O00.0O0 per day for the outlays
of all the governments engaged in
the conflict is seen not to be i'm
probable. but on the other hand quite
probable.

Despite all that medical specialists
and nurses could do, Dina, said to
have been the only gorilla in this
country died yesterday in the Bronx
200" Dina was an exceedingly
rare species Of ape found in the jun
giles of Africa by a special expedition
sent out by the New York Geologic
al society, which returned last Sep
tember She was very young, and
the change of climate proved fatal
to her. Last winter she caught Sc
we're cold and had been under medi-
cal treatment ever since, For long
time she took milk from a nursing
bottle, but month ago she began to
refuse food. Nothing could be found
that tempted her appetite so at last
forclble feeding was tried, but she
rejected the food. Dina gradually
suffered a decline and died from lack
OF nourishment. That too, at time
when New York weather closely re-
sembled in temperature and humidity
that OF her native jungle.

In order to curb New York's
smoke evil. many arrests on land
and water have been made during
the past month, and it is believed
that the residents of the city will
suffer less than this nuisance in the
future. Railroad companies, power
houses, harbor tugs, factories, indus
trial and public service plans and
some apartment houses were among
the offenders. So much momentum
has this campaign for pure air attain
ed that the city government is even
turning accuser against itself, and
will attempt to set a good example
by reducing the amount of dense,
black smoke which issues from the
pumping station of the water depart
ment at Ridgewood. The health de-
partment authorities say that there
is no excuse for letting clouds OF
black smoke into the air from any
power or heating plant, for it is pos
sible to install mechanical stoking
devices which will feed the fires so
scientifically that even with soft
coal or semi -bituminous coal the
combustion will be complete, Many
of the chief offenders have been the
hotels of the city. The custom has
grown up among them of burning
refuse and waste collected during the
day either at dusk or the first thing
in the morning. The result has been
that the bon-ton residential sections
have often been visited by showers
of SCOT and cinders. The board OF
health has asked the hotels to modi-
fy their methods and have in return
received assurances that the pro-
prietors will stop the Objectionable
practice. Several of the large Fifth
avenue hotels on learning of the COM
plants adopted the suggestion of the
health department that rubbish be
disposed of in other ways.
