But the authorities today finally re-
fused all public appeals of American
relatives that they be allowed to ex-
hume the bodies and give them proper
burial in America.
The council informed American Am

TO FIGHT EPIDEMIC
Illinois Continues Campaign
Against Live Stock Malady.
Foot and Mouth Disease Has
Cost State $1,25O,O00.

Springfield. Ill, Dec. 2S.-More than
| a quarter of a million dollars with
which to pay in full the states half
share of all public debts remaining
from the fight to eradicate foot and
mouth disease from the livestock of
the state, will be asked of the second
special session of the Illinois legisla-
ture, called by Governor Dunno to
meet January 10.
To date the foot and mouth cpl
demic has been more severe in IlH-
cost the state and federal govern
ments nearly 100000. Of this
amount S1,37O,00O has been paid by
the federal government and s1,250,00
by the state.
The federal government has paid
in full its half share of all Illinois
claims, but claims against the state,
amounting to 100000 are now on file
with the state board of livestock COM
missioners.
These claims cover the cost of
slaughtered herds, veterinary services
and the purchase of disinfectants

priations. An additional appropria-
ton, probably about 100000 will be
asked for to take care of the epidemic
should it break out again. The last
infected herd was killed in Stark
county, November IS.
Bankers Interested, Too.
Stock raisers and bankers pointed
out to the governor that most stock
raisers borrow money from the banks
with which to buy cattle to feed. The
foot and mouth disease would strike
a community, herds would be slaugh-
tered and in a reasonably short time
the federal government would pay its
half of the claims. The stock raisers
pointed out that the state has been
slow in paying it's share and that as
a result, many stock raisers have
been forced to renew their notes at
the banks at a high rate of interest.
Stockmen insist that the general
public never has realized the extent
to which the disease swept through
Illinois, which boasts of owning an

Give WAR VIEWS
Allies in Perfect Accord, Says
Robert Bacon.
Russia Preparing Drive on Ger
mans and Bulgars.

New York. Dec. 2S.-The American
ambulance work in Paris is costing a
thousand dollars a day, according to
Robert Bacon, former ambassador to
France. Mr.. Bacon, one of the heads
of the work, arrived in New York to-
day. The scope of the work had been
greatly broadened, he added.
Mr.. Bacon places little faith in the
talk of dissension among the allies.
Their unity is as near perfect as
could be-" he said.
Harold Mcmahon, connected with
submarine signaling company, with
headquarters at Boston, who has been
in Russia, was another passenger.
The Russians, he said, were now re-
ceiving tremendous quantities of mu-
nitions from this country and Japan
and in the spring, in his opinion, they
will launch another great drive against
the Germans. Concerning the much
discussed Russian offensive against
Bulgaria, Mcmahon said, he himself
saw twelve transports loaded with
troops and escorted by battleships,
cruisers and submarines, set off for
the Bulgarian coast.

Other Cities Come Here for Informa-

Whenever any city or town writes
to the Agricultural college or the
