WAR BECOMES
 NORMAL STATE
 FOR EUROPEANS
Woman Writer Remarks on Changed Condition of
 Continental Mind.

Vienna, June 1.-The general state of belIigerency in Europe has not only modified the material course of life, but has had such an influence on the psychology of, the public that after two years, a state of war has become an aImos- normal condition, according to woman contributor to a pronli- nent Polish newspaper.
 The constant presence of the thought that war is the great condi- ton of the day, and to win it the prime objective, has in the course Of the last few years given a secondary place to the interests of the masses, she said, so that now the loss of rela- lives on the battlefield is no longerd associated with the self of a parsor but with the will of the aggregate to win. For this also sacrifices of ma terial nature are made, whose render ing no other cause or demand could hope tc achieve.
 While the war is not as yet looked upon exactly as normal state in which a continent ought to find itself, there is a striking Stoic indifference about it. in many respects. There is of course still keen desire that peace may come soon, but coupled to it in separabIy is a grim determination to show that the Central Power group cannot be effaced.
 Fine weather and reassuring crop reports from all parts of the empire have served to heighten the impress sion here that all is well. Vienna and Budapest are close to their habituaI tendency to look upon life as thing to be enjoyed to the full, even if bread tickets and two meat1esS days per week must be taken into account. This has gone so far as to cause the resurrec- ton of a ninety-year old French opera, and permit a merry interest in the presenting to a favorite singer by an adnirer of a parrot made of solid gold. The precious bird is life-size and was handed over the footlights.
 For two years everybody has been preaching the gospel that one must die once anyway and that a little sooner or later does not make a great difference. Association with this idea has been a blessing to many, and its reiterat1on has had it's effect upon the psychology of the masses, so that to- day it is accepted as an obvious in- evita bility to meet death on the fir ing 1ine The condition in question is said by some to have strong similar ity to the views held in the ancient world on human sacrifices when these were thep ractice and when it's vic tinas were drawn from the population when other sources failed.

PHELPS ORDERS
 PROCEDURE FOR TEST
Commissioner Establishes Un- ifORm Method for State
 Veterinarians.

For the reason that at present there exists no uniformity among Connecti- cut veterinarians. relative to conduct ing the tuberculosis test for cattle with particular reference to the require ments of other states into which cat tie are shipped, Cattle Commissioner effery O. Phelps, Jr., has issued a circular letter concerning the methods of procedure in Connecticut, for the guidance of it's veterinarians. The letter was issued yesterday morning, concerning the methods of procedure to be followed which will meet the states approval and designed to be of assistance to those administering the test. MT. Phelps has studied the re- quirenents for the admission Of cattle to other states from Connecticut and bases his notice upon what, In gen. era1, is required under the various statutes, and which are generally un- derstood by Connecticut veterinarians and which compel them to make the test with tuberculosis secured from the cattle bureau of that state. The procedure henceforth required by the Connecticut agents is set forth as fol- lows:
 Hartford, June IS, 1916. To the Veterinarians of Connecticut:
 Gentlemen: Please to accept notice that, whereas at the present time there
 
 the taking of temperatures in making tuberculin tests in the several states, the following procedure will cover the more general requirements of such states and Connecticut, viz:
 1. At least three preliminary tenn peratures covering the period of eight hours immediately preceding the in lection of the tuberculin.
 2. The taking of post-temp should commence not later than eight hours after infection of tuberculin and must be continued at intervals of every two hours to at least the twen- tieth hour after injection of tubercu- lin.
 3. For cattle going into the state of New York, st-tempeYa lures must be continued to the 24th hour after the injection of the tuberculin to be ac- cepted by the department of agricul- ture, state of New York.
 4. Chapter 195, Section IT, Public Acts, 1911, of the state of Maine, re- quire that all calves, COWS, steers, oxen, bulls or stags of any age, shall be tested with tuberculin within thirty days of arrival, regardless of any other test made, consequently, any tu- berculin test made in Connecticut for cattle going into the state of Maine is useless except as a protection of the consignor. Horses are also required to be tested upon arrival in that state.
 Test no animal (except registered animals which you find are otherwise sufficiently identifed) that are not properly ear-ta gged before test is made and insert the number of each ' 7spectfve ear-tag on chart as a part of identification. The usual dose of tuberculin should be increased for large animals and reduced in case of young animals, When retested they should receive twice the ordinary dose.
 Unless the foregoing is strictly com piled with your work cannot receive the approval of this department

LONDON, Jan. 15-The damage

Near ..Iuiden the dixie broke sever

with such force as to wash away
large sections of the road which
runs along the dixie.
