RABID COYOTES
IN N. w. STATES
Government Seeks to Prevent
Spread of Disease by Rabid
Coyotes

The Department of Agriculture is
taking action, through the Biological
Survey and the Forest Service, to
combat a serious wave of rabies in
lection of wild and domestic animals
that is in danger of becoming wide
spread in the far West. The fact
that the extensive dissemination of
the disease is taking place through
the agency OF coyotes makes the sit
uation a difficult one to meet.
Outbreaks of rabies among coyotes
have been noted from time to time
for several wears IN parts of Wash
Ington, Oregon. and northern Idaho.
and the Forest Service undertook
last year to aid in bringing the dis
ease under control by employing
hunters to make war on coyotes in
the National Forests of some infect
ed localities. Since, however. the
coyotes breed in the foothills and
around the outskirts of the Forests.
a more comprehensive campaign is
called for.
The eradication of coyotes in
sparsely settled or rough country is
said to be an exceedingly difficult
task. Inasmuch as these animals are
always a source of considerable losses
to the livestock industry of the West.
Congress last year provided Especial
fund Of SIPS. 900 to be spent by the
Biological Survey for the eradication
of predatory animals both in the Ma
tional Forests and on the public do
main. and from this fund a special
allotment has now been made to pro-
vide for fighting the rabies.
The disease first appeared in parts
of eastern Oregon and Washington
and northern Idaho, in a region sur
rounded by natural barriers which
tended to confne the outbreak.
Domestic animals and human beings
were bitten, and a good deal of alarm
was manifested by residents of the
infected districts, many of whom
feared for the safety of their child.
rem on the roads to and from school.
The disease is now reported as hav-
ing extended into northern Nevada
and northern California. whence it
may easily be carried far.
The Forest Service, the Biological
Survey and the State Board of
Health are working to gether to
meet the situation in California.
Modoc and Lassen counties have
been put under quarantine by the
State Board. which has appointed
forest rangers inspectors in Modoc
county. Funds have been provided
by the Biological survey for the en-
pioyment Of additional men and the
purchase eff traps of poison. The
public will be enlisted in the cam
paign, which will be led by the
Biological Survey officials and the
forest ranger.

Alabama Is Almost
Ready for Rush to
Protect Neutrality

Rear Admiral James NJ. Helm. COM
mander-in- chief OF the Atlantic reserve
fleet. notified the Navy Department
today that the Alabama would sail In
few hours from Philadelphia for
Hampton Roads to guard American
neutrality if the German cruiser Prinz
Eitel Friedrich attempts to put out to
sea.
Orne's we're scut oy the Nav De-
partment today to Rear Admiral Helm
supplementing those sent him by teic-
graph at midnight, when he was ordered
to prepare the flagship for sailing. AL
though officials would not discuss these
orders, 1t Is understood that the Ala
bama will have instructions to grant
protection to the Eitel from attacks by
British ships while within the terri
torial waters of the United States.
Although officials approved the steps
taken by the department in sending the
Alabama to supplement the submarines
and destroyers now on duty at Hampton
roads. the belief persisted that the cap
tain of the Eitel will not attempt to
run the gantlet of British vessels lying
in wait The sending of the Alabama
was taken as an indication that the
Government was prepared to bring the
Eitel incident to a head by fixing an
early time limit in which the vessel will
either have 40 leave the port within
twenty-four hours or inferno for the
war.
Captain Thier!chep, of the German
cruiser, has persisted i'll conmunlca-
tions with this Government in announc-
Ing his purpose to make a dash. lie is
reported to have made inquiry Of the
Washington Government as to what
protection he might expect within the
three-mile limit should he attempt to
run the gauntlet of enemy warships
The German captain took the position
that his vessel was entitled 10 protec-
ton from any molestation while within
the territorial waters of this country.
The dispatch OF the Alabama gives
proof that the United States Govern
inent accepts this view and is prepared
to give full protection to the German
vessel If 1t leaves port.
The delay in getting the Alabama

partment declares. was due to the fact
that the vessel had only a skeleton crew
and was compelled to gather in men on
shore leave before it could be made
ready to go. Its departure before
night Is expected.

Captain Thierichsen intimated that he
intended making a dash for the sea at
the first opportunity.
At Fort Monroe and Fort Wool last
night was simply a repetition of the
preceding night. The gun crews were
held at their stations with tho big
guns cleared for action while search =
lights made the surrounding waters
almost as light as day. In addition,
the bright moonlight made ii possible
to observe all movements of vessels
and this is believed TO be the real
reason why Commander Thierichsen
did not start out last night or the
night before.

1t is believed that he is only wait
ing for thick weather. The vessel to-
day Is at her dock and no one is al
lowed to go aboard. Everything ap-
parently Is in readiness for leaving.
Indications are that whatever or

Haynes, commandant at Fort Monroe
will be carried out in cooperation
