Attorney General Lyndon A. Smith

IL Is understood that a majority of
the Moorhead council. II convinced
they had the authority, would order
the issuance Of licenses until Novem-
Der IL. Mayor Vincent. however. was
elected on dry ticket and would re-
fuse to sign the permits. In that case

tai figures for the different countries
Is the strongest comment that can be
made on the lighting each nation has
done. While the losses of Belgium
are the smallest of any country in
the war from the beginning, its pro-
portion of losses is the largest of
any. We need say nothing more
about England than to compare her
total losses with those of France or
the other large nations involved.
OF course these figures have been
tremendously increased since May 81
and Germany must have had more
than a third of her available soldiers
killed outright In that fact lies the
only hope that she may be unable to
continue the war much longer and
defeat her enemies. The total losses
of Germany, Turkey and Austria at
that time were S,734,OOO and of the
Allies 1864 900. The losses must be
in practically the same proportion
today with the whole available fight
ing forces of Germany and Austria
brought into action. The Allies must
have large forces that have not been
brought into action, and should be
able in time to overthrow the Ger
man power.

Strong light on the real conditions
in Mexico is given in the report that
two daughters of the late Gen. Por-
firio Diaz are living in obscurity there
and sending out servants to sell
jewels and household effects to get
money for the necessities of life, and
that an effort will be made to snug
gle them out of the country that
they may go to France where the
rest of the family reside. We can
little understand in the United
States how political bitterness can
be carried to such an extent that
daughters of former ruler are
obliged to conceal their identity to
save themselves from assassination.

COWS KILLED BY RABIES.
Mystery at Berkshire Among Blood
ed Cattle Is Explained.

DR.. J. C. Parker of st. Adams an
nounces that the examination of the
head of the registered Holstein bull,
which was killed on the farm of
Linus Leavens of Cambridge in Berk-
shire, after it became sick with a
disease which had already caused the
deaths of several head of cattle,
showed that the trouble with the an
imal was rabies. This solves the mys-
terry regarding the deaths of six
other head of cattle, three Holstein
cows on Mr.. LeaVens' farm, two
COWS belonging to Joseph Playful
and one COW on the farm of the
J. G. Baker estate.
DIR. Parker went to Berkshire re-
Gently with State Cattle Commission
er F. L. Davis of White River juno
ton to investigate the matter Post
norton examinations were made and
specimens sent to the State labora-
tory of hygiene in Burlington. Later
DR.. w. P. Dwyer of East Berkshire,
who attended the sick cattle, learned
that a bull dog, brought there early
in June by Massachusetts men look
ing for real estate, had bitten a dog
and a puppy and that both animals
had died. About the middle of June
the bull dog, which had been run
ming in the pastures there died.
Investigation by DIR. Parker then
showed that two COWS which died
before he and Mr.. Davis came here
had shown LESSONS such as are found
in cases of hydrophobia. Although
the animals sick when the investi-
cation was being made showed some
symptoms of hydrophcbia the LESSONS
evidently had healed and the symp-
