Free Of Cattle Disease.

The State Board Of Health believes
the foot and mouth disease in New
Jersey is now extinct. The effects of
the epizootic are still being felt by
farmers in many sections. The State
board in summing Up the situation
said:
TN fact in some instances on ac-
count of the restrictions placed upon
the purchase and sale of cattle, and
the inability of farmers to restock
their dairies with fresh cattle to take
the place Of those which were de-
stroyed, the milk supply in some Sec
tons has been markedly iessened.
"The small farmers whose cattle
were victims Of the disease, and who
depended principally on the profit
from these animals, have been left
in many instances in uncomfortable
situations. Some Of them, on account
of lessened income, are placed in a
position where the payment of rent
seems almost impossible, and, in fact,
in one or two cases, persons renting
dairy farms have refused to pay rem
tails. The State Board Of Health has
received appeals from such farmers.
"On the other hand, owners of
farms declare they are not response
BILE for the situation in which the ten
ants have been placed and have moth
ing to do with the occupation which
is followed by the tenant.
ut is pleasing to note, however,
that many Of the counties in our State
are being classified by the government
as what is known as the free areas,
and that the closed areas, namely
those in which animals could not be
moved until thirty days after the dis
infection of the premises, are now
being placed in the list of exposed
areas in which there may be limited
movements OF cattle under proper su.
pervision.
"All the indications are that the
epidemic has ceased and yet we be
lieve that the restrictions which are
still being maintained are necessary
SO that there may be no reoccurrence
of the disease caused by the infection
being carried from one section to
another"

700 Lives Lost.

IOO GiNCS LOSls
London.-The most powerful Ger
nan fleet that has ventured to the
open sea since the war began was
crushingly defeated in the North Sea
by the British battle cruiser squadron
under Vice-Admiral Sir David Beatty,
the victor of Helgoland. The German
fleet was evidently bent on another
raid such as that which caused such
heavy loss of life at Scarborough and
neighboring towns.
Surprised into an action which they
tried desperately to avoid. the Kaiser's
battle cruisers Derfflinger, Seydlitz
and Moltke, his finest armored cruis-
err; the Bluecher, and several light
cruisers were hammered in a running
fight that lasted three hours and a
half by the battle cruisers Tiger, Lion,
Princess Royal, New Zealand and In
domitable, assisted by a few light
cruisers and destroyers.
At / p. m, when the battle, which
had covered more than 100 miles at
such speed as was never before known
in naval warfare "a speed equal to
the M~auretania's fastest, had carried
the very fringe of the mine fields
guarding the German naval bases, the
armored cruiser B%luecher, schattered
by the great guns of the Lion, went
to the bottom and two of the three
German battle cruisers YER badly
damaged.
On the Bluecher alone more than
700 lives were lost and the casualties
on the battle cruisers that escaped
were very large. Only 123 of the
Bluecher's compliment of 885 officers
and men were rescued.

BRITISH CRUISER LION AND DESTROYER
TOWED IN AFTER NORTH SEA BATTLE;
GERMANS WIN ON M|SERS BIRTHDAY
Austrians and Germans Massing Huge Forces to Drive
Russians Back into Bukowina From Hungary
CAR REVIEWS MOVE TO TAKE THE WAR TO SILESA

London.-Operations in the eastern
area of the war, where the Teutonic
Allies are pushing an offensive move
ment along a battle front of 800 miles
take the foremost place in the latest
developments in the great conflict of
arms.
P~etrograd reports said heavy fight
ing is in progress at many points, but
that no decisive results have been
achieved.
The attack is said by Petrograd to
be the start of a new campaign launch
ed by the Austrians in conjunction
with the Kaiser's forces, and has for
its object the relieving of Hungary
from further danger of invasion by
driving the Russians from Galicia,
Bukowina and northern Hungary.
Vienna reports that the Russians
already have been checked in Buko-
wilma.
The Austrian statement shows that
the Russians again succeeded in pene-
trating passes of the Carpathians, as
it says they were driven out of sever
al trenches which they had pushed
forward south of the passes.
Desperate fighting at close quarters
is in progress in central Poland, where
many men have died from cold. The
most determined efforts of the oppos-
ing forces have not resulted in break
ing the deadlock, say the reports.
The garrison at Przemysl, Galicia,
whose resistance month after month
to the Russian besiegers has been one
of the dramatic features of the war,
is said at Vienna to have been carried
on with such success that assaults on
the city have virtually ceased. The
statement is made that 5000 Russians
are prisoners in the city.
Russian movements near the east
Prussian and west Prussian frontiers
still receive much attention in the
news dispatches, but Berlin asserts
/ with emphasis that no new advances
/ into German territory are now feared.
With great battles Don to be fought
out at her front door, Rumania has
not yet decided to join in the conflict,
but the reports from all the capitals
indicate that the situation in the Bal
kans is simmering, and it is believed
that action will come suddenly.
The Turks, say London reports,
have met with another defeat at
Khorasan, in Turkish territory.
On the western battlefields severe
encounters continue in Alsace and the
Argonne, say the official reports.

STRIKE INQUIRY
BEFORE SOLONS
Bill in House to End Hired
Deputy Systems
PUBLIC SUFFRAGE HEARING
Two Resolutions and Three Bills Aim
ed Directly at the Recent Strike
Troubles at Roosevelt Were In
troduced in the House.

Especial Trenton Correspondence.)
Trenton-Two resolutions having
for their purpose the investigation of
strike conditions at Roosevelt were
introduced in the House by Mr.. Run
yon, Republican floor leader, and Mr..
Quinn of Middlesex county. Both
were referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee.
Mr.. Runyon's resolution provides
for the appointment of FIVE members
Of the House to investigate and re-
port to the present session, first,
whether or not the public officials of
Middlesex had performed their duty
in a proper manner, and, second,
whether additional legislation is nee
essary to prevent a repetition OF the
incident.
The Quinn resolution was more
drastic, and made certain allegations
of a serious nature involving public
officials and intimating that they had
been derelict in the performance of
their duty. This resolution also pro-
vides for the appointment of a COM
mittee of five to investigate the
strike. Besides other things the reso-
luton sets forth that it is reported
that the wages the employees had been
receiving were scant and poor, and
that as a result it was next to impos-
sible for the workers to obtain the
bare necessities Of life.
Consequently, continued the resolu-
ton, living conditions approached the
borders of frightful misery, and the
employees, unable longer to endure
the burden, appealed to their employ
ers for al adequate wage rate. Con-
tinuing, the resolution said:
Whereas their request was denied,
a strike resulted, and the employers
called upon the Sheriff of the county
for deputies, and he, according to re-
ports in the public press, appointed
for duty as such deputies men resid-
ing without his county who were paid
and placed under the immediate direc-
ton and control of the said employ
ers of labor, and under their imme-
date direction and control the said
deputies were armed with clubs, re-
yolvers and rifles, and that the said
deputies unnecessarily, atrociously
and mu~rderously attacked the said
strikers, or employees, with their said
weapons and killed and manned a
number"
Following up his resolution, Mr..
Quinn introduced a bill which would
prohibit any peace official from swear
ing in deputy sheriffs or constables
to quell a disturbance who have not
been residents of the county for at
least six months.
A communication was read in the
House from the Central Labor Union
of Perth Amboy urging the Legisla-
ture to conduct an immediate investi-
cation into the killing of two strikers
at Roosevelt and the wounding Of a
score of others.
