FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE Al.
MOST ELIMINATED

In Farm and Fireside We read that
American stockmen are breathing
freely for practically the first time
in eighteen months.
since October 10, 1914 foot-and-
mouth disease has been a blighting
reality to thousands whose herds were
stricken and a nightmare to other
thousands expecting this plague urg-
ing the epidemic, 22 States. including
269 counties and the District of Co
lumbia, were under federal quarantine,
The stamping out of this most infec-
tious of animal diseases from nearly
half the States in the Union in a year
and a half marks another convincing
accomplishment to the credit of Uncle
Sam.
Denmark, with an area of half that
OF Indiana, tackled the same job about
the time we did, but there the end OF
the fight is not yet in sight.
1T the rawlings of few malcontents
had been listened to and government
quarantine and slaughter measures
had been relaxed at their behest, the
contagion OF foot-and-mouth disease
would now be lurking on practically
every farm containing cloven-footed
animals in this country. We shall not
hear so much about Down with the
slaughter policy! in future epidemic.

After Mr.. Bryan had been speaking

turned to the Chairman and asked IL
he was exceeding his time. Mr.. Taft
with that fine smile OF his. and his

plauded the graceful and generous
courtesy, which Mr.. Bryan also seem
ed to feel deeply.

SCENE OF GREAT SEA FIGHT

Washington The scene Of the
greatest naval battle in modern MIS-
tory is the subject Of war geography
bulletin issued today by the National
Geographic Society from its Washing
ton headquarters, which says:
when the high sea fleet of the Ger
man Empire and the prize lighting
ships OF the nation which boasts the
greatest naval strength I'm tho world
met in an epochal battle of the coast
of Jutland on the last night of May
section of North Sea waters was
made famous for all time. The scene
of this great struggle of steel levia-
thans is described in early dispatches
as lying 100 miles off the west coast,
that arm of the North Sea known as
Skagerrack, which separates the
southern end of Norway from the
mainland portion of Denmark At this
point the breadth of Skaggerack is
so miles, and its length, to the north
east is $50 miles. Together with the
Kattegat and The Sound it forms the
connecting channel between the North
and Baltic Seas.
"If the great clash occurred 12O
miles directly west of Hamilton, the
British and German warships now lie
In many fathoms of water, little
more than two hundred miles from Pc
terhead, the nearest point on the
Scotch coast, and about four hundred
miles northeast of Yarmouth. 1t is in
this latitude that the North Sea floor
begins to drop rapidly. The depth on
the Dogger Bank, $50 miles to the
south, is not more than 10 fathoms,
but as the coast of Norway is APP
preached the soundings show a re-
markable increase until the gulley of
the Norwegian Channel is reached,
where the depth exceeds 400 fathoms.
1.-The scene of this great sea fight
will recall to British minds the Bat
tie of Copenhagen, which occurred 200
miles, in an airline, southeast of
Hantsholm. 1t was in that conflict
that the second command, Nelson, then
a ,vice-admiral, won added fame by
disobeying the orders of his superior,
Sir Hyde Parker. When the latter
signaled to the hero of Battle of the
Nile to withdraw, Nelson placed his
telescope to his blind eye and remark

I cannot see it,
Before the war these battlewaters
were the congregating place of the
greatest fishing fleets in the world. In
1913 the catch in these waters reached
the amazing total of million and
quarter tons of fish, a quantity so vast
that its significance can only be grasp
ed by mental picture of thirty-foot
trucks lined up in procession from
New York to San Francisco, via New
Orleans, each truck being loaded with
1.-TWO tons Of seafood.
with the payment of this vast an
nual toll, however, there seemed to be
no diminution in the North Seas fish
supply England's share of this food
before the war was 100000 tons a
year. or % pounds for every inhabitant
OF the British Isles.
"Of the North Sea catch three-fifths
of the total is herring, the fish whose
spawning and feeding grounds have
determined the location of cities, and
in several instances appear to have in
volved the actual destiny of nations
and the fate of their monarchs."

LA HUMILDAD DE FRANCIA

ceses pelican en- Verdun. Pero 10 que sor-
prende al mundo es la Modesto con que
combaten los franceses. Son modestos en-
TODD: en- sus comunicados oficiales, en- las
cartas particulares de sus oficiales y sol
dados, en- Ell sacrificio silencioso de las
mujeres de Francia, que trabajan dia y
noche para que no falte a los soldados
munlc1oneS y pan.
Solo cuando hablan de la causa por que
combaten Sc ~enorgullecen los franceses.
Entonces dicen que es la mas noble de las
causas; pelican por ell derecho, por la civil
l~izacion, por la h|umanidad. Las palabras
con que glorifican su causa recuerdan por
su hermosura las de la Letania, y algun
dia las ordenara un %escritor de genio EN-
otra letania que inmortalice la memoria de
esta descomunal batalla entire la civiliza-
cion c~ristiana y la barbarie del paganismo.
La guerra Sc prolonga, sus miserias au-
mentan, sus muertos Sc multiplican, las
hazaTas Sc suceden, sin tregua y cada
mes que pasa We fortalecerse la mOdestia
francesa, Y al par que la modestia, la vo-
luntad de la victoria y la firmeza de la re
en- la ~justicia de su causa.
Los franceses hablan con Modesto de
sus generates y de sus soldados. Diriase
que sc sorprenden de las capacidades de
sus jefes y de la abnegacion de sus hom-
bres. iComo es possible que este buen
padre Joffre nos haya resultado ell meJor
de los generates europeos; que este buen
Dumont o Dupre o Dubois sepa pelear y
veneer V morir como los heroes de Es-
parta Y Atenas? En- cambio no queda va
cast un soldado frances que dude de que
esta peleando por todos los pueblos de la
terra, y por 10 que hay de mas eXcelso en-
la naturaleza humana
Este orgullo respecto de la causa y esta
humildad en- punto a sus defensores es 10
que caracteriza al Cristianismo Es tan
obligatorio para ell buen c%ristiano atlrmar
que su Dios es ell unico cierto, como re-
conocerse personalmente pecador. Fl pa
gano sc honra a 81 mismo al honrar a su
dos, porque su dos no pasa de ser una
prolongacion de 81 mismo o de la natu-
raleza que lie rodea. FL judo puede enor-
gullecerse de 81 mismo cuando guarda la
Ley. porque su E1ohim no lie exige mas
que ell cumplimiento de la Ley. Pero ell
c~ristiano no podra enorgullecerse nunca de
81 mismo, porque Dios lie exige ante TODD
la humildad.
Y clio depende de que Ell Dios en- que Ell
c~ristiano cree es un Dios transcendente,
espiritual, omnipotente, benevolo, creador.
Signos de su existencia los puede hallar ell
hombre en- su propia naturaleza y en- la
naturaleza e~xterna, pero solo signos. Solo
signos, porque ell abismo que separa a la
c~riatura del creador seria infranqueable sin
la mediacion de Jesucristo. "Porque la
naturaleza es de tai modo," dice Pascal,
que donde quiera se1ala I'm Dios p~erdido,
tanto en- ell hombre, cuanto fuera del hom-
bre." Como Dios esta escondido, toda re-
ligion que no dice que Dios esta escondido,
no es verdadera; y toda religion que no

Este Dios escondido es Ell de los Gre
yentes de Francia, ell que niegan los in
credulos, Ell que debaten los agnosticos.
Lo mismo la creencia del creyente, que la
negacion del incredible o la duda del ag-
nostico Sc refieren en- Francia a este Dios
escondido, que es Ell Dios del Cristlanlsmo.
Cuando I'm frances tiene la desgracia de
negar a Dios Q de dudar de FL, ell obJeto
de su negacion o de su duda es ell dos
escondido. Lo que no Sc ocurre nunca a
un frances es ALTAR otro dos en- lugar del
verdadero. Podra dudar del verdadero,
pero no 10 substitute con un Dios falso.
Hay momentos de la historic de Francia
en- que la negacion cobra ascendiente en-
las conciencias; hay otros en- que la duda
CANA los espiritus. Lo que jamas ocurre
es que Ell Dios del Cristianismo Sc yea
substitute por otro.
Ello depende de que ell Crlstlanlsmo ha
penetrado mas profundamente en- Ell pueblo
de Francia que EN- ningun otro pueblo de
la terra. Los pueblos del Norte de Euro
pa no habian apenas acabado de crist1anl-
zarse cuando la Reforma despedazo la
Cristiandad. Los pueblos del Sur han te-
nido que padecer durante siglos la DONNA
cion mahometana. Pero Francia es cris-

Y es ell unico pueblo europeo que no ha
conocido otra religion que la de Cristo.
Religion Y Cristianismo son en- Francia, y
solo en- Francia, palabras sinonimas. No
en- balde Sc llama a Francia ia hiJa mayor
de la Iglesia." La Iglesia debe a Francla
las dos terceras parties de su teologia, de
su fo1isofia, de su arte, de su poder y de
sus instituciones.
Como Religion y Cristianismo son Ell
Francia sinonimos, cuando I'm frances duda
del Cristianismo duda tambien de la Re-
1igion en- general. Lo que no hace es con-
~vertirse a una religion que no sea la Girls
tiana, nj tampoco infundir en- las p~alabras
de su religion c~ristiana I'm sentido pagano.
Esto va 10 hemos indicado. Pero, fiJaos
en- 10 que significa. I'm frances podra du-
dar de 10 que constituye la esenc1a del
Cristianismo a saber: la creencia en- que
la mediacion de Cristo redime al hombre
de SUI pecado original. ST I'm frances duda
de Jesucristo dudara tambien de la REDEEM
cion, y caera en- Ell convencimiento desola-
do y desesperante de que no hay manera
alguna de redimirse del pecado, aunque tai
vez disimule la amargura de sus dudas en-
la sonrisa de la ironia, o en- ell cascabeleo
de la satira. ST renuncia a las esperanzas
del Cristianismo sera para renunciar a toda
esperanto de orden transcendente. Lo que
no hara es cifrar sus esperanzas en- un
dos de calidad mas baja que ell Dios de
los cristianos.
Por ESQ los franceses no llegan a incurrir

tada del pecado de orgullo, que consiste
en- dogmatizar la soberbia y trocarla en-
