correspondingly greater. If these fig
ures be accepted, it is obvious that the
amount OF money spent in eradicat-
ing the disease becomes insignificant
in comparison with the loss it causes
when left to itself.
The German government, of course,
has not left the disease to itself The
more recent outbreaks it attempted
to control by the American method of
slaughter, but tie pestilence had
gained too much Roadway and was too
firmly established in too many por-
lions of the country for this method
to succeed. and the slaughter of the
infected herds had to be abandoned.
Ii now appears that there is no hope
of getting rid of it until the virus has
worn itself out. At present it seems
that as soon as the animals period
OF acquired immunity is over and fa-
yorable conditions present them
selves. the contagion breaks out with
renewed virulence SO that the author
tiles have practically abandoned all
hope of controlling 1t by means of
guarantees. One scientist indeed has
asserted that unless all the infected
farms we're absolutely isolated and
the movement not only of live stock
but of persons absolutely prohibited,
the disease could not be stamped out.
Such a quarantine is, of course, ut
terly impossible to enforce. In GER
tain portions of Germany, indeed, the
farmers, realizing that the disease is
inevitable, make haste to be done
with 1T by exposing their stock DELHI
erately to mild cases in the hope that
this will result in an immediate mild
attack and immunity for several years
thereafter.
Great Britain and Norway and
Sweden, on account of their compare
lively isolated positions, have been
more successful in keeping out the
disease. The outbreaks in these
countries have been more sporadic,
and by resorting to immediate slaugh-
ter the authorities have been able to
stamp them out. In the outbreak near
Dublin in 1912, indeed, measures were
adopted which were more stringent
than any used in this country. AS
soon as the existence of the disease
became definitely known, so-called
"stand-still" restrictions were i'm
posed on the affected district. Not
only was the movement of live stock
into or out of the district absolutely
forbidden, but no cattle, sheep, goats
or swine could move along or even
across any highway or thoroushfare.

Bombs In Belgium.
London, Feb. 1.-THE greatest air
raid in history, exceeding even the ex-
petition from Dover, against German
strongholds in Belgium, was made by
British and French seaplanes and
aeroplanes, which did great damage to
German positions in Ostend, Middel
kerke, Zeebrugge and Ghigtelle. Forty
machines took part in the exploit,
many of the fiiers having been in last
weeks attack in which Lieut.. John
Cyril Porte and Claude Grahame-
White figured
Thirty-two British airmen and eight
Frenchmen made up the great squad
ron. The French directed their attack
to the aerodrome at Ghistelle, upon
which they showered 240 bombs, while
the British flung explosives upon Zee
brugge, Ostend and Middelkerke, as
well as a fleet of German trawlers
along the coast.
Special instructions had been given
to spare the residential sections OF the
various towns. The British Admiral
ty's report of the affair follows:
The air operations Of a naval wing
in the Bruges, Ostend and Zeebrugge
districts have been continued. For
ty aeroplanes and seaplanes bonn
barded Ostend. Middelkerke, CHS
telle and Zeebrugge.
Bombs were dropped on heavy
batteries on the east and west sides
of Ostend HarbJr, the gun positions
at Middelkerke and transport wa

road ia the mole at Zeebrugge to
widen the breach damaged In for

Blankenburg and trawlers lying out
side of Zeebrugge. Eight French
aeroplanes assisted our naval ma
chimes in making vigorous attack
on the Ghistelle aerodrome. thus ef-
fectively preventing German aircraft
from cutting on our machines.
1t Is reported that good results
were obtained.
Instructions are always issued to
confine attacks to points Of military
Importance and every effort is made
by the flying officers to avoid drop
ping bombs ON any residential por-
ton Of towns.
