INQUIRY ON PERSIA CASE.
United States Asks II Dual Monarchy
Denies Sinking-Matter Will be
Considered Closed.

Washington, JAM 8.-The United
Sttaes has addressed another INJURY
to Austria asking if any Of it's sub
marine commanders have knowledge
of the destruction of the British liner
Persia. A statement that they had
none, reported to- have been handed
to Ambassador Penfeld several days
ago, never has been received here.
State department officials consider
that they virtually have exhausted
every other source Of information in
their effort to establish what caused
the siaiking OF the Psrsia with the
loss of two American lives.
Germany has assured the United
States that none of it's submarines
was responsible, and assertions by
survivors that the ship was torpedoed
have not been proved. The state de-
partment wants definite statement
from the Vienna government, and
should denial be received the case
probably will be considered closed.
Only one dispatch has been re-
ceived from Ambassador Penfield re-
garding the Persia. That came Janu-
ary and stated that the Austrian
foreign office then had no informa-
ton as to the sinking. Charge
Zwiedinek Of the Austrian embassy
here has advised Secretary Lansing
that since that his government. so far
as it had heard from it's submarine
commanders, had no report of such
an attack.
The second inquiry, officials think,
should bring a positive statement
from the Austrian government as it
is considered that all of it's sub
marine commanders in the Mediter-
ranean have had time to report since
the tragedy.

TREAT OISTEMPER IN HORSES
Formula Given for Treatment of Old
and Young Enthusiastically
Avoid Constipation.

(By W. F. SHULER, Oklahoma Agri-
cultural College,
For the treatment of distemper in
horses, have prepared this prescrip-
ton and administer it in tablespoon
full doses three times daily to the full
grown animals and in teaspOonful
doses twice daily to the colts: Pow
dered nux vomica one part, powdered
belladonna leaves one part, powdered
chlorate of potash two parts, pow
dered colchicum root one part, pine
tar sufficient TO make a pasty mass.
1t may best be given by means of a
little wooden paddle, with which the
material can be placed on the back of
the tongue and it will there go direct
ly to the spine.
In cases where assesses have
formed and broken they should be
syringed out with an aatfspetic solu-
ton and painted with tincture Of
iodine. Be sure that the animals
bowels are in good condition. II there
is any tendency to constipation admin
lister a suitable purgative, such as oil,
salts or aloes. In cases where the
nose and throat seem to be especially
affected. place the animal in a small
stall, taking a gallon or two Of boiling
water, add to it a half pint Of carbolic
acid, and tie the animal so that the
head will be directly over the bucket.
This will give relief by the inhalation
Of carbolic acid vapors.

MAY RECLAIM WASTE SPOT
Fertility the Famous Roman
Campaena.

No book on Italy is complete with
out some reference to the Campagna
di Roma, a district upon which a curse
seems to have fallen. 1t is a grassy
plain, something like an American
prairie, about forty by seventy miles
in area, Rome being near its center.
This district was once the prov
ince of Latium, and was then the rich
est and most popuIous country in the
world, but it is now nearly destitute
Of inhabitants. For a part of the
year shepherds and herdsmen make
it their home, but even they do not
linger longer than absolutely nece5-
sary. In fact, the Campagna is the
home of malaria, so deadly that stran-
gers dare not to pass a single night ex-
posed to its influence.
The trouble with the Campagna
arises from its being underlaid by a
bed of stone impervious to water. The
spring rains fill the soil, vast guam
tity of vegetable matter is accumu-
lated, and the summer sun evaporates
this foul water, filling the air with
malaria of the most deadly sort.
The ancient Romans knew the dan
ger, and averted it with extensive
drains; but the moderns suffered the
drains to become choked, and the
finest portion of Italy became a will
derness. The soil is very rich, and
it is pleasant to hear that an effort is
being made to reclaim the Champagne
for the uses Of man.
