We had a call on Tuesday
from DR.. J. II. Stansbury, the
veterinarian whose headquarters
is at Jeanerette and he informed
us that the farmers in the lower
section of the Parish were rap
idly realizing the necessity of vac
cinating their stock to keep them
free of Charlton. During the
year he had inoculated as many
as 1873 head of horses and mules
and exactly 100 head of cattle.
The only stock that had died was
that which had not been properly
vaccinated by experts who are
in position to know the good
serim from the bad. He said
that vaccination was necessary
every year and it keeps the stock
healthy which makes them i'm
mune from many other diseases.

DOVER GUNS DRIVE GERMAN
AIR RAIDERS FROM ENGLAND

London, Feb. 2.--The batteries
protecting Dover opened fire last
night on what is believed to have
been another German raid. but
whether by Zeppelins or submarines
or both, has not been ascertained.
An early report from Dover said
that five hostile airships were OBJ
served over that town while a later
report announced that they had
been driven off by the gunfire of
the forts.
Another Dover message declared
that the fire has been directed at
German submarines.
AS a consequence the war de-
partment instructed the London po-
lice to make all preparations for an
air raid. The city was soon in dark
ness and everywhere the news spread
that a Zeppelin fleet was on its way
to the metropolis.
At several of the railroad stations
the lights were extinguished and
trains passing over bridges did SO
in darkness.
The special orders issued by the
police shortly before o'clock caus-
ed blinds to be whisked down all
over London. Reports spread that
the five Zeppelin balloons sighted
sighted over Dover presumably were
making inland. Parts of the city of
waited for more than two
hours with blinds drawn.

CHAPTER XIX.
The Ram.

In the closet off the Galland library,
where the long-distance telephone was
installed, Westerling was talking
with the premier in the Gray capital.
"Your total casualties are eight hun
dred thousand. That is terrific, Wes-
terling!" the premier was saying.
"Only two hundred thousand Of
those are dead!" replied Westerling.
Many with only slight wounds are
already returning to the front Ter
rife, do you say? Two hundred thou
sand In FIVE millions is one man out
Of twenty-five. That wouldn't have
worried Frederick the Great or Napo-
leon much. Eight hundred thousand Is
one out Of six. The trouble is that
such vast armies have never been en-
gagged before. You must consider the
percentages, not the totals" m

To the others he seemed as cool az

twitching in his pocket. But now, sud-

he trembled passionately, his head
dropping forward, as If he would col

"Oh, the murder of 1.-THE murder!"
he breathed.
But they brought 1t on! Not for
theirs, but for ours!" said the vice
chief of staff, laying his hsAd on Lam

Lanstron added. There's a kind Of

Even the minute Of the attack they
knew; and just before midnight they

out into the night, while the vice-chief

PLANS NEW
ATTACK AGAINST WARSAW

London, Feb. 2.-Out of the con-
fused fighting in the Carpathians,
which continues to dominate the
military situation, comes nothing in
the way of decisive conflict, and
perhaps the most significant news
from the Eastern theatre is the
theory enunciated from Petrograd
that Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
