COUNTRY FREE or PLAGUE;
0UARANTINES REMOVED

lHe lonB uBHt dSdlnSt tnc loot-
and mouth disease is over. The
Secretary Of Agriculture has issued
an order which removes all foot
and-mouth guarantees and re-
strictions against shipment and
movement of live stock. The order
signed specifically removes the
quarantine from small territory
in Christian county, ILL.,, the last
area which was under suspicion.
Along with the removal of this
local quarantine, the various Fed
eral orders restricting shipment of
cattle are rescinded, so that deal
ers can now ship their cattle as
before the first quarantine was
imposed.
Upon notification that the United
States is free from the disease,
all foreign governments which have
placed embargoes on American
cattlt are expected to remove these
embargoes, so that cattle raisers
will then be able to resume ship
ments to these foreign countries.
The magnitude Of the work of
eradication and control carried on
by farmers, shippers and the state
and Federal Government is shown
by the fact that before controlled,
the disease had gained a tempo
rary footing in twenty-five states
and the District of Columbia. The
disease appeared and was con-
trolled in 269 different counties.
The Importance to the stock rails
ing industry in graduating foot
and-mouth disease may be judged
from the results of this plague in
Denmark, where the disease APP
peared at about the same time that
it broke out in the United States.
The area of Denmark is approx
mately equal to that of the three
New England states - Massachu-
sets, Connecticut and Rhode Is
land. 1t is, however, "A great
dairying country, and it has been
estimated that the loss in milk in
one year caused by the foot and-
muoth disease has amounted to APP
proximately one-third of the total
cost of graduating the pestilence
in twenty-five states in this coun-
try. The Danish authorities were
unable to carry out thtir former
policy of slaughter, and were com
PEELED to resort to such measures
of control as could be established
by guarantees and other restric-
tons.
As a result of better under
standing between the State and
National Governments, representa-
tives of the Department believe
that many Of the obstacles which
confronted the authorities in the
past outbreak would not be en-
countered in dealing with any flu
turf occurrence of the disease. The
veterinarians, however, will not
abate their watchfulness for some
time. Examination of animals and
animal products offered for i'm
port will continue to be unusually
strict. The Department. moreover.

Various propositions are being care

the closing of commercial doors often

Actual Blockade Would
Settle Disputed Points
(By Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Enforce-
ment by Great Britain of an actual
blockade of the central powers would.
in the opinion of officials here, remove
from the field Of controversy several in
ternational factors which have led to
much diplomatic correspondence and
much misunderstanding on the part of
the public.
One of these is the question that now
remains unanswered as to the power of
neutral state TO ship to Germany or
her allies any goods not contraband of
war. Once a blockade were declared,
there could be no legal question of the
right of the blockade fleet to keep every
thing out of the enemy's ports.
All doubt as to the application of the
doctrine of ultimate destination also
might be removed so far as it concerns
goods destined for Germany through a
neutral state
On the other hand, declaration of a
blockade would not warrant, officials be-
lieve, interference with Americas trade
with neutral European states, provided
the goods were not consigned ultimately
TO Germany or Austria. Under the or
ders in council such goods are now be-
ing Communicated.
So far the state department has had
no official Information regarding the
reported purpose of Great Britain to
abandon the orders in council for a
blockade,
