many carcasses would net have been

probably have a trench dug around

sumed that the carcass is either com
pletely burned or that it and the sur
rounding earth have beef sufficiently
heated to destroy infection.
Il have decided to take it upon my
self to take every possible measure
for the eradication of the disease re-

The principal question now is the al

for the speedy arrival of the vaccine

BATTLING
10 SAVE CATTLE

(Special Star Bulletin CorrsspondCncs)
LlHUE, Kauai, April 2l.-The cpl
Genie among the live stock of Hama
lei continues to cause grave concern
throughout the island of Kauai
Dr. Victor A. Norgaard. territorial
veterinarian, visited the district and
took cultures from the carcasses OF
some of the victims of the disease.
In the meantime the department OF
agriculture has furnished serum for
1000 animals and Dr. Giaisyer, the
Kauai veterinarian, is working night
and day in administering it. Dr. Glais-
yer has been constantly on the job
and is taking every possible precau-
ton to pI event the spread of the dis
ease. rs 49,.
;" There are more than 1900 head of
cattle on the Princeville plantation
and more serum is needed at once.
This has been ordered from San Fran.
cisco. .-s-.. ....- .
One feature of the situation that is
fortunate is the fact that the district
can be effectively quarantined. The
government road is the only opening
in the ridge above Kalihiwai, and the
Hanalei river with its wide spread OF
rice lands furnishes an effective boun-
dairy on the other side. ...~.
The present need is for sufficient
number of capable men to take charge
of the situation, and it is expected that
the territory will act promptly in fur
nishing these men.
At a meeting of the Kauai Planters
Association Thursday morning the
question OF stamping out this frightful
disease was taken up. 1t was decided
to ask the legislature to vote an ap-
preparation and to direct that assist

trolling the epidemic. Ex-senator

That the house may be thrown into

close Of the present session, is the
substance OF report emanating today
from reliable sources. Ill ..
Certain house leaders say they anti
cIpate trouble over the appropriation
hill, asserting that few, members
will try to force the measure into the
committee Of the whole. The reason
given for this action Is that the few
members I'm question desire to see GER
tain salaries raised, and consider this
the best method OF going about IL.
Asked regarding such reported eff
fort today, Speaker Holstein asserted
that, should such q move be success

session would be unavoidable. The
other island members do not desire

REV. LOHMAN IS
 IN WINNIPEG, CANADA

On account of the many runlors which have been going the rounds in Malvern during the past week in re- gard to the Rev. Fred Lehman, be- ing held as German spy, in Canada and other things, which have been said but which could not be verified this paper has been asked by Mrs. Lohmann, to state to the public and to his friends in Malvern, that there is absolutely nothing in the reports and that the Rev. Lehman is now in Winnipeg Canada, we'll and happy, and taking the leading part in the great revival meeting in that place, which is doing much good. Mrs. Lehman received a card from her husband this morning, and previously received a telegram, after his arrival there. One of the reports were to the effect that sheriff Stanley had been notified of his arrest and that the local postoffice had been notified to hold his mail This, Mrs. Lohman states has been investigated and she has been told that there is absolutely nothing to either of the reports.
 Sheriff J. E. Stanley stated to a re- presentative of this paper today, that he had received no word in regard to MT. Lehman being arrested, or held as spy.
Malvern daily record., 1917-04-07
WAR DECLARED BY
 UNITED STATES
RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY BOTH HOUSES HAVE BEEN SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT. FINANCES BEING CONSIDERED.

Washington April 6.-The United States today accepted Germany's chal- lenge to war and formally abandoned it's place as the greatest neutral of the world.
 President Wilson at 1:10 o'clock this afternoon signed the resolution of Congress declaring the existence of a state of war and authorizing and di- recting the chief executive to employ all the resources of the nation to prosecute hostilities against the Ger man government to successful ter imitation.
 The act was without ceremony, and only in the presence of members of the presidents family. Word was flashed immediately to all army and navy sta tions and to vessels at sea, and orders l for further precautionary steps with 1 held until the last moment were dis patched.
 By proclamation the president an- |nounced the state of war, called upon 1 all citizens to manifest their loyalty and assured Germans in this country that they will be unmolested as long as they behave themselves. l Finances Considered. Methods of financing the war and of extending huge loans to the allies con- stituted one of the chief subjects at today's cabinet meeting.
 Indications are that the first year. s demands upon the financial resources of the country will run far in excess of
 the $3,500, 100000 already asked of
 Congress and may approximate $5,- loco, O,00O,OOO.
 Bond issues already authorized also were discussed. The total $474,00O,-
 900 including the $224,0O0,00 of Pan-
 anna canal bonds authorized but moi lissued.
 I
 Financial and other cooperation
 with entente governments is under
 consideration by the Council of Ma
 tional Defense and definite plans fol
 the issuance of loans to the allies are
 expected soon. Opinions as to the
 amount of the first loan vary between
 $500, 100000 and $500OOO0. It seemed likely that heavy per.
 centage of the war bill will be raised
 by fincreasd taxation, and that what
 ever bond issues are necessary will be
 placed through the Federal Reserve Board or raised by popular subscrip-
 tion or both methods.
