HUMAN BEINGS MAY
CONTRACT MALADY
Health Officer Says Foot and
Mouth Disease Is Transferable.

Madison, Jan. 2.-"Human beings
contract foot and mouth disease by
actual contact with infected animals
or other infected media not uncom
mcnly from infected milk used raw"
This was the warning issued by the
state health department in it's quar-.
terly bulletin. The state is signed by
DR.. G. w. Henika, deputy state health
officer, and is occasioned by the out
breaks of the foot and mouth disease
among the animals Of the state. The
statement says that cattle, sheep
and hogs are most commonly infected,
horse and goats less often, and fowls,
dogs and cats still more rarely"
There is little danger of the infec-
ton being carried by the meat Of an
infected animal should such meat, by
accident, reach a market, as the cook
1ng Of the meat would destroy the
virus" says the bulletin in discussing
the possibilities of communication to
humans.
There are many methods to be ex-
ercised in preventing the infection.
Simple methods of cleanliness with
the free use Of antiseptics are suff-
c1ent to prevent the infection Of the
human subject who is brought into
contact with infected animals. The
boiling Of al milk from suspected in
fected herds should be insisted upon,
for even if the milk when drawn from
the COW is pure, it might easily be-
come infect defro neither the hands
of tn mixer or from other outside
sources"

U. S. CASE Good
ENGLISH ADMIT

washington, Jan. 2.-That data
showing in detail just what have been
the experiences Of American ship own.
ers and shippers at the hands OF the
British, will be shortly made public
is the understanding here. This data
partment and comprises record Of
seizures of American ships and cargoes
reported to the state department from
all quarters, but more particularly re
sulting from British action since the
war began.
It is proposed to include in this data
evidence in each case which will show
not only the seizures and detentions,
but the reasons advanced therefore
in each case, the period Of detention
and ultimate decision in cases which
have been decided A considerable
number are still in process Of settle
ment. Much interest attaches to this
document. Officials here expect that
the information when made public will
prove strong support Of the conten-
items set forth in the state depart
ment's note of protest to the British
government.
Neutral Powers Approval PIeases.
The discussion of the note in Lon
don and in European capitals is being
followed with much interest here
though officials here believe that one
good effect of the note will be to ans
wor the charge that the administration
Is favoring England as against Ger
many. The highly f1attering comment
on the note in Berlin is accepted at its
true value here. More interest is felt
in what Rome and the capitals Of the
Sea ndinavian countries are saying and
officials are gratified to find that the
course of the United Staes in calling
England to account for her practices
is enthusiastically approved in the
neutral countries whose interest are
soesimilar to those of the United States.
London Shipping Men Approve.
But satisfaction is felt over certain
statements emanating from London
which to large degree substantiate
the American charges against the
British admiralty. One report re
ceived from London states that ship
ping men in London are ready to ad-
nit that the protest of the United
States regarding unreasonable deten-
tions is more than justified. It is
said that one man declared that a
neutral ship was held Is days before
the examination of her cargo was even
started and that it was released be-
cause not scrap of evidence was
found against her.
This bears out the chief contention
Of the Washington government that it
is not the policy that is objected to so
seriously as the methods by which it
IS executed. 1t is firmly believed here
that a less rigid system upon the part
of the admiralty operated with more
discrimination would remove largely
the cause for present complaints.

manity in 1915.
Boston, Mass, Jan. 2.-Dr. Chas. w.
Elliott, president emeritus Of Harvard,
in the current issue of "The Congre-
gationalist," says regarding the new
year: 1T cherish no new hopes for
humanity in 1915, only the old faith
that loving God rules the universe;
and that the path to loving and serving
Him lie through loving and serving
men Neither do feel any new fears
for humanity during 1915"
Regarding the similarity Of this
war with others, he says: ITO be sure,
it is of far greater magnitude than
any former war and it is conducted
with much more destructive weapons,
with greater efficiency and no more
mercy. Therefore, it is, not unrea'
scnable to eX2ect that Europe Will be
more willing than ever before to take
adequate precautions against the re-
currence of such horrible moral and

being reduced more rapidly than pre-
miums.

Cars Troops Burst Through
Austrian DetGnSGS.

London, AIN. 1.-THE Russians have
burst through the Austrian defensive
arrangements in western Galicia and
are again pushing forward over the
Hungarian plains. The first troops
to penetrate the passes of the Hun
garians appeared on the eastern ends
Of the mountains traverses early Fri.
day morning and by nightfall had cap
tuled a number of Hungarian villages
and had reoccupied great portion
OF the territory which they captured
on their first incursion. This news
war telegraphed from Rome today. 1t
was based on official dispatches given
out in Vienna
The new invasion is composed of
four lines of Russian troops, all OF
considerable strength. One Of them
is believed to have forced Dukla Pass
and another Uszok Pass where the
Austrians have been concentrated in
their greatest strength. No better ad,
vance of the overwhelming force of
offered than its advance through the
Austrian lines and into the very lands,
the occupation of which had, in the
earlier stages of the war, very nearly
caused a separatist uprising among
the Czehs and Bohemians who have
borne the brunt of the defensive oper-
ations on Hungarian soil for the past
two months, while the Austrian regu-
lars have been engaged, first in Servia
and then in southern Poland.
The success of the Russian offensive
in Poland and consequent pressure
against Cracow and the east Prussian
fcrtresses has all along depended upon
a maintenance Of the Russian supe-
riCrity over the Austrians.

HOW Germany WOULD VIEW
UNITED States japan WAR

Berlin, April %, Via London, 12.4S
P. M.-The "Post" in an editorial ar
ticle entitled, "The American Trou.
bles,' casts doubt upon the genuine.
ness of the accident which caused the
grounding of the Japanese cruiser
Asama in Turtle bay, Lower Califor-
MIA.
The paper says there are two pos
sible explanations of this incident
One is an effort to put pressure upon
Washington to relieve the situation at
Pekin, while the other is an attempt to
secure a naval base in Mexico. This
would touch Americas sorest point
the paper says, namely, the Monroe doe
trine. America must either give ia.
pan a free hand in China or demand
that Japan leave Mexico. This would
mean war.
Continuing, the paper says:
"Germany would view such a war
with mixed feelings. While we do not
desire victory of the yellow race over
the white, nevertheless America has nc
claim to the love or respect of the
Americans. We would be satisfied to
know that this country, which first be-
came state at an expenditure of Ger
man blood and German energy, should,
from its political condition of unsyma-
thetic contentment, come to know the
bitter necessities of war;"
