New Cattle Disease.

A disease among cattle not pre-
viously reported appeared last summer
in eastern Colorado. 1t has appeared
this summer and is becoming quite
serious. Cattle, one after another in
herd, become blind and are unable to
eat or drink. Investigation of the
disease in the dry land districts of
Otero county revealed quite serious
condition. DR.. Glover has the follow
ing to say regarding this disease:
This is apparently paralysis Of the
optic nerve and the tongue, without
inflammation of these or adjacent organs
There is congestion of the brain with
but very little if any fever. Animals
are unable to eat or drink but if food
is placed back in the mouth they will
masticate it with avidity and swallow
it without difficulty, If water is
poured into the mouth they can easily
swallow it and will give evidence of
wanting more.
I'VE do not know the cause of this
condition but bad water and scarcity
of food would seem to be contributory
factors it has been learned that if
animals are fed artifically and wat
cred for few days that they almost
invariably recover. otherwise they
usually die. No poisonous plants were
found that could be considered respon-
sible. l..s. ,
'In the absence ofSdefinite infor-
nation respecting this disease we can
only suggest at this time that plenty
of feed and pure water are most essen
tial and that most animals may be
saved by artificial feeding.
This disease has appeared among
seven or eight herds in Montezums
county. G. P. NEwsoM, Co. Agt.

Reported in Agreement
Special Gable Desposch to THE SrS from

CoprriOht, 1915; all rights reserred.

Copyright, 1915; dU r0hfs reserted.
THE HAGUE, May 4.-The
HandelsbIad learns that an
agreement has been reached re-
garding the transportation of
sand and gravel between Holland
and Germany in limited quanti-
ties with guarantee from the
German Government that the
materials will not be employed
for military purposes.
In regard to the railways the
HandelsbIad learned that it has
been agreed that no troops or
ammunition will be transported,
but it remains to be decided
whether food for troops can be
transported, and how many
trains shall be employed.
Judging from expressions yes
terday and to-day the crisis
seems to have had one desirable
effect, namely, to convince .
considerable number Of Dutch
men that if they are to be re-
lieved from the pressure Of the
irresponsible and uncontrolled
German militarism, relief must
come from the armies associated
with the allied Powers. The
crisis may be over for the mo-
ment, but the German threat
which provoked it has not been
removed.

WILSON SAVES
FOUR SENTRIES
PardOns Two Condemned to
Death for Sleeping on
Duty in France.
SENDS OTHERS TO PRISON
Presidents Action Taken Be-
cause of Extreme Youth of
Offending Soldiers.
SENDS OTHERS TO PRISON

WASHINGTON, May +.-President WILL
son to-day pardoned two soldiers OF the
American expeditionsry force who had
been condemned to death BY a military
court-marual in France for sleeping
while on sentry duty and commutcd to
nominal prison terms the death sentences
imposed on two others for dlsobcying
orders. The action was viewed by many
army officials as approval by the Presi-
dent OF Secretary Bakers stand against
the imposition of the death penalty In
the army except in special cases.
Prvates Forest u. Sebastin, L!
Dorado. H.. and JefY Cook. Lutte. okla,
were the men pardoned. In reaching his
decision the President took into con-
sideration their extreme youth-thc
former being 90 years old and the latter
l9--and concluded that they did not
realize the seriousness of their offence
and its possible disastrous results upon
the unit TO which they were attached.
Disobeyed Orders, Get Years.
Prvates Dion Ledoyen. Atlanta. Ca.
and Stanley @. Rishback. Connection,
Ind, were the men convicted for dis
obeying orders. Their sentence was COM
muted to three years in the Federal
pentitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kan
sas. and they will he brought to this
country for Imprisonment. Details in
these cases have not been made public.
The soldiers are 19 years old. All OF
the men were volunteers in the Reg
ular Army.
The Presidents action was In line
with recommendations made by Secre-
tary Baker who made n full investiga-
ton of the cases after the sentence OF
the court had been reviewed and an
proved by the Judge Advocate Generals

Secretary Baker previously had gone
on record against the adoption OF any
| general rule for the imposition of the
death penalty for military offences when
this was recommended by National
Guard commander as necessary to stop
the growing number of desertions from
his division.
Baker Disa pproves Death SENTENCE,
| The bulk OF the new American Army
| has been too recently taken from their
individual homes and Its influences to
permit thorough understanding by the
soldiers Of the stern Justice Of the army
Mr.. Baker held. adding that II never had
been proved that this punishment would
act as a satisfactory preventive.
| The recent execution OF sixteen negro
soldiers In Texas after conviction on thu
charge Of rioting resulted In President
Wilson issuing instructions that cases II
which similar sentences were imposed
should be sent to him for final approval
Army regulations give Gen. Pershing full
authority to order the carrying out o.
death sentences. but in these cases HI
sent the record to the War Department
| for consideration.
Unusual interest has been shown II
the four cases, as they were the first o
their kind among the troops in France.
