Michigan has expended thousands
of dollars to eliminate hog cholera
and when IL has been necessary to kill
infected hogs In order to stop the dis
case the state has reimbursed the
owner Of the hogs a certainpercent-
age Of his loss. This money comes
from the state treasury and is ultim-
ately apportioned among every tax
payer in Michigan.
No one has ever complained over
this practice. In fact the activities
Of the state along this line have re-
ceived the active cooperation and
support not only Of the farmers, but
of the city folks as well who have
recognized the campaign against hog
cholera as necessary for the perpetu-
alton of the nations food supply.
Now. however, the state of Michi-
gan, through its board of health, is
engaged in another campaign which
has for it's ultimate goal the elimina-
ton Of venereal diseases. The farmer
knows only too well how quickly one

Nicaragua Enters War; :;
10th Foe of GERMANY

SAN JUAN DEL SUR, Nicaragua,
May 7.-Nicaragua to-day declared war
on Germany and her allies.
The declaration of war was adopted
by Congress at the suggestion of Presi-
dent Chamorro, with only four dissent
ing votes.
Congress also adopted a declaration
Of solidarity with the United States
and the other American republics at
war with Germany and Austria, and
authorized the President to take steps
for utilization to a full measure of the
nations forces in the war.
Nicaragua's action follows that of it's
neighbor, Guatemala, which last month
declared war on Germany. Nicaragua
severed relations with Germany a year
ago.
Nicaragua is the twentieth nation
which has declared war against Ger
many.
The country has an area of 49,200
square miles, little more than the
State of New York, and population
of 703,540. The active army consists

BY the treaty of 1915 the United
States acquired from Nicaragua a new
route for -isthmian canal and
secured naval base in the Bay of
Fonseca, on the Pacific Coast and Corn

1913 the United States has maintained
a force of marines in the country, sent
there to suppress disorder. 1t is un-
derstood that the size of this force of
marines was not decreased by the send

At Zeebrugge
Returning Officer Asserts
U.S S. Fighters Landed
on the Mole

AN ATLANTIC PORT, May T.
American forces took part in the sim
ultaneous land, sea and air attacks
which bottled up the U-boat base at
Zeebrugge, according to an American
naval officer who reached this port
to-day on a French liner. This officer.
whose name cannot be divulged, de-
clared that, as the result of the raids,
the destructive power of the German
submarine had been curtailed to a sur
prising extent-so much so. in fact.
that certain precautions heretofore
employed in conveys had been done
away with recently.
"The part of the Americans in the
attacks on Zeebrugge has not been
made public, and can only hint at it,"
the officer said. "It has been reported
that American motor boats were used
IN taking off the landing party after
the successful attack.
What has not been told is that
Americans were on the attacking
ships, working with the British. and
IN the land force that did such great
work. American naval avators, using
British planes, flew over the U-boat
az 1iie same Clme, and dropped
bombs on the most vital points. Their
work, II known, would make history"
The French liner bringing this officer
arrived here on her first trip in a
year, during which time she has been
rented completely. Among the pas
sengers was Professor Albert van
Hecke, of the University Of Louvain.

Ministry of Public Works.

lessor van Hecke, who was in Louvain

mans were bombarding the town. de-
clared that Germany's defeat was now
reasonably certain.
When the Germans made their bip
drive for Ypres and were unable to
succeed even in the first rush, after
months of preparation, any one could
read the signs" he said. "The Ger
mans are not what they were four
years ago, when l met them in their
might. Now they cannot even succeed

Bisbee Deportations
Violated Federal Law

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Investiga-
tion by the Department of Justice of
the deportation Of 1885 copper mine
workers from Bsbee and the Warren
district of Arizona last July has devel-
oped apparent violations of the law, it
was disclosed to-day, and Assistant At
torney General William c. Fits and
Oliver f. Pagan, special attorney for
Indictment cases, have gone to Tucson,
Ariz., where United States Grand Jury
is in session.
The Investigators reported that, in
their opinion, number of the citizens
of Bsbee and other towns responsible
for the forced deportations violated
Federal laws forbidding conspiracy to
deprive citizens of their constitutional
rights. The penalty provided by law is
fine Of not more than $4,000 and i'm
prisonment not more than ten years.
The Department of Justice has been
investigating the deportations since
last fall, when a labor commission,
headed by Secretary Wilson, reported
to the President on the deportations
and suggested prosecution of those re-
sponsible
