DA|RYMEN COOPERATE
ENFORCING MILK LAW

If the tuberculin testing provisions
Of the new milk law are properly and
continuously enforced and if the dairy
interests are properly advised and as
sisted, the law will be the means of
making great headway in the control
and eradication of bovine tuberculo-
sis in California and at minimum
The foregoing is the statement OF
DR.. Charles Keane, state veterinarian,
who has made careful study OF the
provisions of the new law and who
after four months of it's enforcement
is convinced that it is of untold value
to the people of California. The tu-
berculin testing is not being carried
on in a slipshod fashion, but inspec-
tors are instructed to study carefully
the problems on every dairy farm
and to explain to the owner of the
herd how tuberculosis in his animals
may be stamped out in the easiest and
most economical manner. So far, the
approval and cooperation of the
dairymen have been almost UNIVERSAL
lily secured.
At all events, DR.. Keane is con
vinced of the Importance of the new
milk law and believes that its en-
forcement by the State Board O.
Health, State Dairy Bureau and Stat
Veterinarian VIZ provide the people
Of California }th pure milk.

Washington, Feb. 2.-The State De-

some announcement of the course to
be pursued by this nation would be
forthcoming in the statement, (which
has not as yet been issued to Ger
many"
In answer to an American steam
ship company that had asked to know
if sailings could be made tomorrow,
the government stated that 1T might

Today every indication is that Pres

mind as to the exact policy he will
pursue in handling the delicate ques-
tion.
Announcement may come this aft
ernOOn that the cabinet session which
follows the presidents conference
with Senator Stone will bring some
definite news of the future program.
If Germany executes intentions as
announced, it is freely predicted that
break may ensue. The report that
Ambassador BernstOff is to be hand
ed his passport has not been denied.
There appears to be a gloOminess
around the TeutOn embassy.

WASHINGTON, Oct. With plen- ty of room available at the national army cantonments, due to the large number of men to be withdrawn to fill up the national guard and other branches, the war department has again modified its plans for training negro troops for the national army forces.

The size of the unit will depend upon the number of negro drafted men from the divisional area which supplies each cantonment, but where there is large surplus, men will be sent to posts with smaller numbers for con- solidation with the training units there.

German Leaders Stay Behind in
 Recent Actions

CANADIAN HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Oct. l. (By Canadian Press, ltd )-Report that the rank and file of the enemy troops have a great longing for peace is confirmed by every prisoner captured One of their chief grievances is the failure of their higher officers to take risks. Even company commanders freely de- pute to the under officers their duty while in the trenches and remain well back from the front.
 So Different.
 This Is so different from the relG- tions between our officers and men that it is freshly impressed upon the minds of the Germans on every occd- sion when there is hand to hand fight ing in which our officers invariably lead their men, while the German Of ficers seldom do so. They are not actuated by fear and it must be as- sumed that they are obeying orders in this hanging back. Very great losses of the German officer class early in the war may have made it necessary to conserve their leaders, Whatever is the reason for their fall- ure to take risks as great as those to which their men are subjected. the latter are deeply discontented-

Matt Eppich, of This City, Is Sadder and Wiser and Poorer. There Are Still Suckers in the World.

Matt Eppich, Bisbee miner, who Is frugal and saving, realizes, now. the worth of the saying. you can't get something for nothing" With a Los Angeles con" man he inhabits part of the Los Angeles city jail; Eppich being charged with attempted murder and the con man with various crimes. known to be practiced by his craft.
 Leaving Bisbee with $500. Eppioh decided he would go to Los Angeles for his vacation. He arrived in the Angel city and believed all he heard and much of what he saw.
 Shortly after his arrival he met a man; a prepossessing man. His ac- quaintance knew Los Angeles and was a nice companion. He apparently, had money to spend and enjoyed Ep- pich's company. He also knew, when better acquainted with the Bisbee man where, between the two, they could win a lot of money without trouble.
 Accordingly the two went to Venice. They entered a room and the new ac- quain.ance persuaded third party to get his lay out" in working order. That Hay out" consisted of a board, three English walnut shells and a small gutta pearcha ball.
 Here the censor dilleted the manu- script. But the next heard of the af- fair was that Eppich, with his mus tache shaved Off. another suit of clothes on his back, met one of his erstwhile acquaintances and opened fire on him with a revolver. The shooting occurred on Spring street, Los Angeles. Eppich was arrested and so was the object of his poorly-direct- ed ammunition.
 The police of Los Angeles are nov, looking for the second "con" man and Eppich's fate hangs in the balance. So does his $500.
