Army officers at FL Paso and other
border towns have been reading all
the press dispatches filed at the tele-
graph offices and even exercising SUI
pervision over the telephone lines
over which news might be sent. Auto
mobiles, it is said, carrying dispatches
have been stopped and censored.
If the United States were at war
the military authorities would no
doubt be authorized to exercise CEN
sorship under proper limitations on
purely military news. In time of
peace the war department, or the
army officers, have no more authority
to interfere with the gathering, send
ing or publishing of news than the
traffic officer on the street corner.
All this business at the Mexican bor-

HONG KONG
Recruits Constitute a Small But
Picturesque Addition to-
the British Army.

LONDON, Jan. 1S-The British
army has Just received a small but
picturesque addition to its strength
in group of thirty recruits from
Hong Kong. Five times since the
war began these men had petitloned
the governor of Hong Kong to be re-
leased from the constabulary service
in which they were engaged In order
that they might go to England and
enlist, but each time their request
was refused. Finally, however, they
received permission to leave China
and sailed for England.
Their appearance on the streets Of
London was greeted with the great
est interest and curiosity. Under
their khaki overcoats. which were
thrown wide open, most Of the men
wore the blue uniforms with white
piping of the Hong Kong constabu-
larry. The helmets are the winter
service pattern Of thick pitch, with
a steel spike on top and a steel band
running around the side.

SLAUGHTER TO
Be ABANDONED
BY the Dutch in Their Cam
paign against the Foot and
Mouth Disease.


THE HAGUE. Netherlands. Jan
1S.-The Dutch government has de.
cided that the combating of foot and
mouth disease among cattle by the
slaughter Of diseased animals will be
abandoned and some other method
tried. The slaughter Of cattle infect
ed with the disease, cost the govern
ment nearly $3,200,000 in indemni-
ties in 1915, for the disease is wide
spread in the Netherlands. Every
where In the rural districts boards
bearing the notice "Foot and Mouth
Disease" are to be seen or, the Dor
ders OF the pastures. The number
Of infected cattle slaughtered in the
last twelve months was over $4,000.
The appropriation for the payment
Of indemnities to the breeders has
been reduced to the almost negligible
sum OF $4,000 in the budget for
1916, but bill has been introduced
placing 100000 at the disposal Of
the ministry Of agriculture for the
purpose Of trying other means than
slaughter for dealing with the dis
ease. The breeders are to. be asked
to isolate cattle suspected Of infec-
tlon, while experiments are tried IN
treating the disease. with some Of the
cures fecantly reported as having
hesd discovered bath II the United
states and Switzerland.

A peculiar theory in regard to the
cause of the spread OF foot and

ed in the Leeuwaarden Courant by
the district veterinary surgeon who
places the blam on the flocks of wild
geese which fly over the Netherlands
on their way to and from the South.
where they migrate to escape the
northern winter. He says that In
those places where the wild geese
make halt in their flight foot and
mouth disease often breaks out ap-
parently without cause and he attrib-
utes its appearance in the district to
the carrying Of the parasites by geese
which spread them on the soil.

Loss of Land Values Is
$S35,565.

items, of $11,7O5.
There was a. gain in the number OF
cattle and swine but Al loss of $9,365
in valuation, "due to bad condition
at the time of assessment" says the
assessor. But though there was a
loss of 1866 head of sheep the val
lie of the sheep herds increased ST.
020. "This gain in value of sheep
is due to a raise, in price of wool.
An item of lost valuation which

merchants claimed they had reduced
their stocks during the year, even
sufficient to offset the higher, level of
prices, in the amount of $19,970.

Salem, Ore, Sep. 22.-The Board of
Regents of the Oregon Normal School
filed its final draft Of a survey made
of the Normal School condition to the
State Superintendent of Public In
struction on Thursday. That the State
of Oregon is sadly in need, of an addi-
tional Normal School as is provided
by the initiative measure creating such
= school At Pendleton il recognized by
the Board Of Rssents In their final re-
port made after IN exhaustive survey
Of the condition Of the one present
school at Mcnmouth. They recognize
too. in their report, that any new Nor.
NAL School should be located in a
town having public schools large
enough to provide ample teacher train
ing practice for the (teacher) students
OF the Normal.
ut is apparent to anyone Who has
studied the situation that there is need
OF additional Normal School facilities
in Oregon; the Monmouth School alone
cannot care for the number of students
who desire to be or should be enrolled
in Normal School within the next two
or three years. and 1t will be necessary.
