IS NOT THE CATTLE PLAGUE
Government Officials Declare AiIment
at Kansas City Stock Yards Not
Foot and Mouth Disease.

Washington, Dec. Laboratory in
yestigations completed here today con-
firm that the ailment among cattle. at
Kansas City, suspected of being foot
and mouth disease is stomatitis, a COM
paratively harmless malady, easily
cured.
The disease, a department of agri-
culture statement says, is known in
Europe and South Africa and has been
found occasionally before in the United
States. 1t is contagious, but animals
affected usually recover within eight
or ten days.
1.-The present outbreak" the state
ment says, lis the most extensive yet
noted in this country. The specialists
of the department, therefore, are adj
vising state livestock officials in
whose territory the disease is found TO
impose local guarantees to prevent
its spread They advise all owners
and handlers of horses and cattle, par
ticularly liverymen, managers OF stock
yards and breeders, to separate sick
from well animals, to clean up and dis
infect their premises, and to wash out
the mouths of sick animals with a
weak solution of permanganate of pot
ash or picric acid

cession of the late Emperor Francis

At the conclusion OF the funeral SER
vices, Emperor Charles walked behind

VILLA MAY HIT At
PERSHING'S FORCE
FL PasO Hears American Expe-
diti0n is in Danger of
Early Attack.
BANDITS EAGER FOR A FIGHT
Regard United States Soldiers as Only
Obstacle to Their Success in
Chihuahua.

FL Paso, Tex, Dec 2-Exulting
over his success in the Chihuahua City
battle, his store of munition replen-
ished with captured Carranza muni-
tons, and his men eager to fight the
Americans, Francisco Villa has or
dered an attack upon the camps Of
Gen. J. J. Pershing's army in Western
Chihuahua
Warning that Villa is to attack him
was sent to General Pershing today
and his reply, it is said, was that he
is ready. Villa, according to infOrma-
ton through Mexican sources friendly
to him, hopes to dominate all of the
state of Chihuahua.
His complete defeat of the large
army of General Trevino at Chihuahua
soldiers cannot now be induced to
meet his army, leads Villa to think, the
report says, that only the American
soldiers in the ColOnia Qublan coun-
try stand between him and the restor-
alton to power to which he aspires.
To Attack as U. S. Troops Retire?
According to the best information,
Villa has now more than twelve thou
sand men under arms. He could not
send more than six thousand against
the Pershing army, but with the cum
ming he so often uses effectively, it is
believed he is planning his movements
so that his attack on the Americans
will be timed to follow Immediately
the order for the American forces to
retire from Mexico. 1t is said Villa
thinks such an order already has been
given, and by attacking while the
Americans are retiring, he counts
upon receiving credit in the minds Of
Mexicans for driving the Americans
out
Efforts were made today by General
Francisco Gonzales to gather up the
remnants of General Trevinos defeat
ed forces and assemble them at Jua-
req. Carranza border officials gave it
out today that the concentration of
troops at Juarez is for the purpose of
defending the town against an attack
by Villa, which they say is threatened
hourly.

KEPT AMERICAN FLAG FLYING
Former Lake Steamer chemung Sent
to Bottom of Mediterranean
Crew Landed ia Safety.

Paris, Nov. "a Madrid dispatch
oy wireless announces the arrival at
Valencia of the crew of the American
steamer ChemuDg, torpedoed in the
Mediterranean by German subma-
rine. The commander gave the crew
only a few minutes to abandon the
vessel, not allowing them even to take
their money and papers.
The submarine towed the lifeboats
in which the crew were placed to with
in five miles of the coast, where it
abandoned them.
The Chemung went down with the
Stars and Stripes floating at its mast.
A lively incident preceded the sinking
of the vessel. The German comman-
der gave orders that the American
flag should be lowered, and German
sailors prepared to put them into eff
feet They met with stubborn resist
ance on the part of the American cap
tain, Duffy, and his crew, who refused
to haul down the coIors, saying that
if the ship had to be sunk it would
be with the flag flying.
Captain Duffy maintained his ground,
and so rapidly were the preparations
to sink the Chemung made that fur
tker discussion about the flag ceased,
and after the captain and crew had
been taken aboard the submarine, a
torpedo and three shells fired against
the side of the American ship sent
her to the bottom.
Although angry at the action of the
German commander, Captain Duffy
and his men had some measure of sat
isfaction in seeing the flag at the
masthead as the waves finally engulf-
ed their ship. The Chemung was reg
istered at New York and carried a
crew of twenty-four.
Washington, Nov. 29.-Secretary
Lansing this afternoon announced re-
ceipt of official report on the sinking
of the American steamer Chemung.
The dispatch came from the Ameri-
can consul at Valencia. The message,
dated Valencia, said that those aboard
had been landed there.

HAVE TAKEN CHIHUAHUA CITY
TreVino Driven From His Stronghold,
Private Dispatches Received in
FL Paso, Texas, State.

FL Paso, Tex, Nov. 28.-Villa is
moving northward from Chihuahua
City, according to a dispatch from
General Trevino received tonight by
General Gonzales at Juarez, who was
ordered to concentrate his forces here
at Juarez.
A private message, coming over the
same route, adds that not only is Villa
proceeding north, but he is in control
Of Chihuahua City, which General
TrevinO is supposed to have aban-
doned, proceeding southwark. Gen
eral Trevino, according to the private
report, said that after effecting a juno
ton with General Murguia, he would
return and recapture Chihuahua.
1t is understood that there are about
five hundred men, mostly infantry, in
or near Juarez.
Telegraphic communication was still
open tonight with 3auz, about twenty
six miles above Chihuahua, the mill
tary men said.
The message from General Trevino
was sent in code from Sauz by way of
Ojiniga, opposite the Texas town of
Preside, where it was reIayed. It
said, according to Carranza officials,
that Villa was moving north and or
dered the detached garrisons along
this section of the frontier and on the
MexicO-Northwestern line to concen-
trate in Juarez.
Ell Paso, Tex, Nov. 27.-Inflicting
losses on the enemy, Francisco Villa
and his bandit forces tonight drove
Gen. Jacinto Trevino and his troops
from Chihuahua City, and are in pos
session of the capital.
The Carranza garrison is fleeing in
disorder in the direction of Ojiniga.
This information was received tonight
by United States government agents,
but has not been verified through any
other source.
After five days of fighting, Villa and
his six thousand men were in control
OF all the suburbs of Chihuahua City.
The Villistas took possession of the
railroad yards, the water works, the
penitentiary, the smelter, and other
strategic points.

SAFE CONDUCT IS REFUSED

London, Nov. 28.-The foreign Of
flee has sent Ambassador Page
note definitely refusing to grant a
conduct to Count Adam Tarnowsk
Won Tarnow, the new Austro-Hunga-
rian ambassador, to the United States.
The reason for the refusal may be
paraphrased as follows:
Even if international law forbade
the refusal of such a safe conduct, the
actions-O of Austrian and German en-
bassies and consulates abroad have
been so much in excess of regular dip
Iomatic functions that the British gov
eminent feels justified in withhold
ing its consent for such diplomats to
travel to their posts"

kANSANS DEFEATED
X. US Athletes Downed by the
Missouri Tigers in Annual
Football Game.
THE FINAL SCORE WAS 10 TO 0
The Jayhawkers Seemed Unable to
Solve the WhirIwind Offense OF
Coach SchuIte's Men.

Lawrence, Kan, Dec. 1.-Gridiron
history repeated Itself in uncanny
fashion yesterday when Coach
Schulte's aggressive Missouri eleven
downed the confident Kansas team, Is
TO 0, on the Jayhawkers' home grid
iron. Seven years ago when Kansas
last defeated Nebraska before the
present season, another confident
Kansas eleven lost to Missouri. To
night Kansas rooters are wondering
whether triumph over the COrnhus
ker is a hoodoo for the later game.
The victory gives Missouri a total Of
seven wins among the twenty-six grid
iron combats which have been staged
between the two schools.
From a football standpoint the chief
explanation of the Missouri victory
was the inability of Coach Olcott's pro-
teges to solve Missouri's puzzling Of
Tense, which enabled Bill Collins, the
only one-year mar among the Tiger
regulars, to gain almost at will.
Made TWO Touchdowns.
The work of this doughty sopho-
more from Lathrop, Mo-, was the de-
Gliding factor Of the contest. Only the
wonderful punting of Captain Adrain
Lindsey kept the fighting Tigers from
scoring more heavily.
Missouri made touchdowns in the
second and fourth quarters. Follow
ing the first counter by Stankowski,
Collins missed the try at goal. This
meant that Kansas touchdown would
tie, and possibly win, the game, and it
was not until Collins went over for
Missouri's second touchdown just be-
fore the game ended that Kansas root
ers gave up hope.
The Missouri-Kansas gridirOn spec
tacle was staged before the largest
crowd ever gathered on McCook field.
Nearly $4,000 seats were placed on
sale and when Lindsey madesthe open
ing kickoff, practically every seat was
occupied. Ideal weather conditions
prevailed and McCook field was in
excellent shape.
Beaten by Better Team.
A prime factor in the inability Of
the Kansas eleven to make better
showing was the failure of Coach Oh
colts men to take advantage of two
Missouri breaks before the game
was decided. Once in the first quar-
ter Burton blocked one of WiIder's
punts and the ball bounced back to
the Missouri 3-yard line, where Viii
der, with Kansas forwards all about
him, recovered the ball and on the
next play kicked out of danger.
Again in the third quarter Stankow-
ski, the Tiger safety, fumbled the pig
skin dangerously near his own goal.
Two Kansas men toyed with the roll
ing ball, but it remained for Captain
Lansing to hold it and another oppor-
tunity for a Jayhawker touchdown
had vanished.
But Kansas has no alibi. Statistics
Of the game show how completely the
margin of play favored the visitors.
The total gains for Kansas from
scrimmage play were only eighty
yards, less than third the yardage
gained by Missouri. Kansas made only
six first downs, while Missouri made
twenty-five, of which four were on
penalties.
