Takes Precautions to
Keep Out Illinois Epidemic

Des Moines, Sept. 15.-The state ex-
ecutive council was early today ex-
pected to approve orders issued by
the Iowa commission Of animal health
absolutely prohibiting the shipment
into Iowa from Illinois of cattle,
sheep, swine, goats, hay, straw, chol-
era serum, raw milk or cream. This
step was taken by the commission
late yesterday afternoon to protect
Iowa live stock from the foot and
mouth disease, reported to have
broken out in Illinois again.
DR.. J. l. Gibson, state veterinarian,
declared that Iowa Is nov entirely free
from the disease, and that it is the in
tention Of the commission to keep it
SO, if it is within their power. The
Iowa officials reached the conclusion
that the Illinois officials were not tax
ing all precautions necessary to pre-
vent the spread Of the epidemic. There

these citizens were not the prime NOV
ers in the agitation. The attack In
.cluded not only the negative stand in
refusing to participate which the agi-
tators hope will be taken by banks
with largee lists of German-American
depositors, 1t was reported, but en-
braced extreme measures against any
banks with German-American deposit
ors helping in any way to finance the
loan.
To Withdraw Deposits.
This campaign, according to reports
from sources regarded as reliable,
contemplated heavy Withdrawals,
wholesale in extent, from banks par
ticipating in the loan, as an expression
of the ~displeasure of pro-German de-
positors.
Another method which was reported
to be in favor with those opposing the
flotation Of the loan was the proposal
to float a similar loan for Germany.
The amount Of the proposed German
loan, the commission heard, was to be
half a billion dollars. 1t was designed,
according to their Information, not as
e bona fde move to place that great
sum at the disposal of the German en-
pire here, for Germany, unable to I'M
port American products, could not
spend 1t, but purely as an embarrass-
ment to the Anglo-French commission.
If half a billion dollars Of American
money were tied UP in this loan, the
proponents of the plan were under

|f Germans to Protest.
A less drastic method of attack, it
was reported to the commission, was
the apparent intention Of the pro-Ger-
man element to induce by persuasion
or otherwise, every bank officer In the
United States with German blood in
his veins to oppose the participation of
his bank in the hotation Of the loan.
The movement, from what the com
mission heard, had It's origin in the
east and its greatest activity in the
middle west, especially in the large
cities where the pro-German element
Is considerable in numbrs. Although
not so manifest here in New York as
elsewhere, it was said. the plan is by
no means inactive in this city. This
was evidenced, according to reliable re-
ports, by a food of protests made by
German sympathizers to some of the
largest banks here.
Threats Are Made.
Yelled threats, 1t was reported, have
often accompanied the protests and
certain institutions here now planning
to participate in floating the loan are
already estimating the extent of the
losses in deposits which they believe
will surely follow when the big loan
is f1oated, If at all.
Officials of some of Wall street
big financial institutions heretofore
classed as pro-German have no sym.

and are said to be in a receptive mood
toward participating in the ~fiotation
of the loan. This group of bankers is
