Indemnity for TubercuInr Co,,,.

n Hc 1917 AGRICULTURAL appropriation
bill just passed by Congress contains
an item expected to be of great nm
portance In tho Federal and State cam
paign to eradicate tuberculosis among
cattle and swine. II provides thas tne
Federal government shall pay iadem-
nifty to owrcrs whose cattle are
siaughtered fscause they have boon
found infested with tuberculosis.
The Department of Agriculture Is to
pay one-third OF the difference he
tween tho appraised value Of tho cat
tie and the salvage value of the
SlauEhtered animals. provided that the
state, county. or municipality in which
the cattle arc owned and kept IS CO.
operating in the tuberculosis work ana
pays at least an equal amount to the
owner. In no case Is tho Federal gov
eTnment to pay more to the owner
than Is paid by the State. county. or
Inunicipallty. No payment by the
Federal government Is to be more
than s25 for any grade animal or more
lhan vac Tor any re-hred animal. and
no payment is to be- made unless the
owner has complied with all Quaran-
tine regulations.
This provision is expected to remove
much or the opposition among cattle
owners that has hindered tuberculosis
eradication work. Through It the
Federal government. the State, county
or municipal governments and .ne
owners or cattle Will share in the 1858
resulting from Strengthening .in.ected

Won Gerlach and DR.. Naumann have
tried again and again to drive home

, forts have not penetrated beyond
their own special circles.
The Arbeiter Zeitung, of Vienna,
the only Germanic journal which
neither Kaiser Wilhelm nor Kaiser
Karl can kill, publishes an article on
the real cause of the world war
which must be gall and wormwood
to the fire-eaters of Hunland.
TT is a fatal mistake" it says,
"to suppose that it was commercial
envy that caused England to place
herself in opposition to Germany.
indeed, England at first tried most
,rergetically to conclude a compact
with Germany.
TT was only when Germany coldly
declined all English approaches, when
Germany constantly added to her gi-
gantic fleet, when n wild nationalism
was inflaming German civilians into
hatred of England and plunging
them into the most extravagant
dreams of expansion. when, further
the unfortunate Morocco policy
aroused the suspicion that Germany
intended an onslaught on France
that in England a profound mistrust
of Germany manifested itself"

the battle which is raging in north
ern France.
1t is enough to say that great ac-
tivity of many sorts is in progress in
the entire American zone. Miles of
motortrucks loaded with Americans
have passed through the towns,
some going in one direction, some in
another. Through a driving rain
the motortrucks plowed their way
along muddy roads, the Americans
singing. Many of the trucks had
American flags fastened to their
tailboards.
On other roads mile after mile
of marching Americans splashed
through the mud. which came over
their ankles. The horses were
steaming from the work they had
to do. All the men are working as
hard as possible, with the realization
that they are to be of service in the
common cause and used in the pres
ent conT"ct.
