URGE WATCH FOR
HOOF-AND-MOUTH
DISEASE DANGER

Public officials, veterinarians,
and stock owners should be on
guard to report Immediately any
cases of foot-and-mouth disease
that may appear in this country,
according to a statement by DR.. j.
r. MOhler, chief of the bureau of
animal industry, United States de-
partment of agriculture. DR.. Mohl-
er said:
Recent cable news announces
an outbreak of foot-and-mouth dis
ease in England, which brings to
mind the serious outbreaks of that
disease which have been experience
ed in the United States.
Foot and-mouth disease, has ap-
peared in England from time to
time, as it has done in the United
States. In both countries the past
outbreaks have been promptly con-
trolled and eradicated, and no
cases have occurred in the United
States since 1916. Nevertheless,
the disease makes its appearance
at irregular intervals. In this
country we may expect its return
at any time, although every pre-
caution is being taken by the fed
eral authorities to prevent the in
PRODUCTION OF the disease, especially
from the present outbreak in Eng
land So long as communication is
maintained with other countries the
danger of the reintroduCtiOn of the
disease must be acknowledged
1T is of the greatest Importance
that a sharp watch be maintained
by all officials, by practicing vet
! erinarianS. and by stock owners in
order thai the very first cases may
be discovered and the spread of the
disease prevented. It would be a
great misfortune to the United
States if foot-and-mouth disease
/ should occur under present cOndi-
tons or become firmly established
! in the country, as has been the
case in many of the stock-raising
nations of continental Europe
Early discovery of the disease. fol-
/ lowed by prompt elimination of in
! fected centers, is the only way to
prevent the United States from be-
coming permanently infected"

and told the people of the United
States that the heads of the allies
had no confidence in us. Il told
Germany that we were divided and
open to their attack. II dishonored
the president and cabinet every
where. If the statements were not
made-as Lloyd George and Gener-
al Petain deny they were-then Mr..
Mccormick imagined that these
men meant what he accused them
of saying giving such imag-
ined construction to the public as
an Indictment of his own govern
ment-as the reflection on the pres
i6ent and as an impeachment of the
cabinet has placed him where all
must know that he can never have
the cooperation of any of the per
sonal confidence and never the
confidence of the president during
all of the present administration.
So l ask Illinois-Is there bust
ness sense of loyalty to illinois in
voting in Mr. Mccormick with Mr.
Sherman and leaving Illinois with
10 man who can speak to the ad-
ministration heads for any of you
for anything? May l add that the
position the state now occupies as
state of first voice in the senate
as a leading force in Wilson's ad-
ministrtion, would be lost-and this
dare offer as a consideration for
Illinois
beg you as fellow citizens to re-
feet as to these matters-and de-
eide for Illinois as you feel Hi
nois and Chicago deserve. ! accept
the decision of my fellow citizens.

BACK PRESIDENT.
URGES GOMPERS
Head Of A. +. Of l., Just Back from
Europe, Says Issue is Above
Plane of Politics.

New York, Nov samuel Com
pers, president of the American
Federation of Labor and chairman
OF the American labor mission, who
arrived at an Atlantic port yester-
day after a two months tour of
England, France and Italy, last
night issued a statement urging the
nation TO follow the president and
the presidents advice, at least un-
til after the triumphant conclusion
OF the war"
MIR. GOmpers said that while the
labor mission is not politically par
tisan, following neither the Re
publican nor Democratic party"
members of the mission who re-
turned with him concurred in his
appeal
They feel that the failure of the
people to support the presid ent
would be interpreted by the peo-
pie of our allied countries as a
weakening of the people of the
+, United States" and would put new
Encouragement and a new lease of
life into the Germans and Aus
TRANS"
Members of the mission who ar
rived with Mr. Gompers were Viii
liam Bowen, Edgar Wallace. Peter
Josephine and Secretary Oyster
John p. Frey and c. L. Baine re-
manned in Paris to attend con-
ference on Oct 26 of the commit
tee Of the labor movement of the
allied countries.
Explaining why the members OF
the mission felt it was the para
mount duty of the people to sup
port the president, Mr.. Gompers
said:
! The spirit among all the people
of our allied countries, from presi-
dents. kings and cabinets to the
great masses, is tense in support
of the policies, purposes and ideals
set forth by President Wilson.
( They venerate him and have q b.
solute confidence in the course he
has pursued and the ideals which
he has impressed on the conscious
ness of all, even the soldiers and
peoples of Germany and Austria
While having a great under
standing and appreciation Of all the
president has stood for in this war
they regard his last note to Austria
: as the master stroke. 1t crushed
J the spirit and morale of the sol
diers and people of our two enemy
countries.
Nothing could be Of greater in
jury to the cause of the United
/ States and our allies in this wal
than the weakening of the people
in their support of President vii
son at this iuncture"

With Islanders
In the Service

Private Clarence F. Zwicker, son
OF MT. and Mrs. Gottlieb wicker
2412 Seventh avenue, brands the
kaiser's peace notes as insincere in
4 letter to his parents from France
His letter in part is appended:
AT this writing | suppose you
are happy with the thought that
peace is near at hand Who knows,
but that it is? However, that l L
est peare rCte which tire kaiser
sent o. roug4 lis new chancellor,
is nothing more than repetiti n
1t what lley TIED IL Russia. 1t IS
Lot sincere peace talk.
September issue of Every
bOdy's magazine had a fair story on
the result of premature peace. In
ether words, peace, before Ger
many is completely whipped on the
field, notwithstanding she has IN
Conditionally submitted TO every
word, in its broadcast meaning, con-
tanned in President Wilson's basis
Tor peace conference, Will only re-
suit in another war. You and l read
daily; yes, yesterday, tomorrow, OF
the mOckery of their talk. |, in ad-
dition to reading, also hear first
hand of the things they do that
only the trained mind Of a barbar-
ian could think Of Just last night,
Il the far distance, the sky was red
with the light from fire of some
kind. No doubt in my mind it was
some French town the Germans
were burning, because it was in the
direction where the Heinies are be
ing hard pushed and in that direc-
ton are large cities.
1T is true we are inclined, in a
way. to feel sorry for the German
soldier, but TO me that Is wrong,
as every last German soldier who is
fighting for his kaiser is no better
than the kaiser himself and until
the ideas which are now as deeply
embodied IN every German SOL
dier's mind are dislodged, he is as
two-faced as his government.
L recall reading in some paper,
back home before we entered the
war. an article by some prominent
Russian wherein he said, IF the al
lies did not watch themselves Ger
MANY would win One-half the war
bv arms and the other half by tears
in her eyes" That is just what she
is trying to do Thanks TO our pres
ident for his unusual mind, which
can live so far into the future HOR
and ! may not live to fully realize
his bigness, but generations to
come will, not only in the United
States hut in the world
in conclusion, l don't expect
peace until the central powers are
either driven, or have Withdrawn,
from Belgium, France and other &C
cupted territories, and not until
then. | am writing this letter so
Won may know that peace talk to
the ones over here-I presume it Is
the same back home-g goes in one
ear and out the other, unless II
would have q sincere ring; even
then we would be slow 10 accept it
until our president would have put
his O. X. on IL.

WOMEN NURSES
American Red Cross War Council
Issues Report OF EnIistments
Up Until Oct. /.

Washington, Nov Bin a report
just issued the American Red Cross
war council states that 10000
nurses have been enrolled by the
department OF nursing of the Red
Cross to Oct /. More than seven
teen thousand of these are serving
soldiers and sailors, half of this
number already being on duty over
seas. About sixteen thousand OF
those in service with the forces
here and abroad are with the army.
Seven hundred nurses, women, have
been assigned to the federal public
health bureau or to the Red Cross
service in the United States and the
remaining 1900 include those not
available or eligible for active ser
vice, but who may be utilized for
home defense work.
About nine thousand additional
nurses will be needed by the army
alone before the first of the year,
according to the report. Should
the war continue on its present
scale, it is estimated that the total
number of nurses required in the
military hospitals here and abroad
by next July will be $4,000. These
estimates, the report states, are
based on an army of 100000 and
a navy Of $4,000. or approximately
one nurse to each IA of the military
and naval population.
To meet the nursing require
ments of the coming year a cam
paign will soon be inaugurated in
which each state will receive an
allotment, a duplication of the plan
by which thousands of nurses were
enrolled during the past summer.
The department of nursing of the
Red Cross is the reserve for the
army and navy nurse corps.
The Red Cross has spent about
$S50,000 in equipping nurses assign
