sentatiyes but II had been previous
ly announced that the allies intend
ed to keep the delegations wholly
apart.
Although 1t is not believed that
the Germans will refuse to sign the
peace treaty, the entente forces are
prepared to advance into Germany II
the enemy rejects. Both President
Ebert and Chancellor Scheidemann
have made statements denouncing
the peace terms. However. neither
went so far as to state that Germany
would not sign. Scheidemann dis
cussed the possibility OF new gov
ernment taking office in Germany,
but declared It doubtful II the for
nation OF government which would
sign the terms would be satisfactory
to the allies.
The implication was that such a
government would be ultra-radical.
The draft Of the German plan for
league of nations has been handed
to the league OF nations commission
OF the peace conference.

H|NDUS CHIEF WORKS
GREAT H0CUS-POCUS

II Centre. CAL. May 13.--Hun-
dreds OF Hindus who have been EN-
ployed picking cotton and at other
tasks on Imperial Valley farms. have
mysteriosly disappeared. Several
large colonies have been depleted
and the few remaining Asiatics are
those who hold land leases which do
not expire for several months.
Observers of conditions in the val
ley believe the concerted exodus was
the result OF orders transmitted by
native priests who have labored
among the Hindus for several
months past. A score OF laborers
are known to have departed for Jobs
in the Salt River valley in Arizona
but the destination of others who
left or the reason for the hegira is
unknown,
Several months ago, local resi-
dents say, a native priest appeared
in the Hindus colonies here and at
Imperial. Cal. These priests held
services for their countrymen. which
they told valley people we're for the
purpose OF teaching them American
ism. They soon disappeared, quiet
ly and without any announced desti-
nation.
Soon the Hindus in the valley,
even those who could read no Eng
llsh, started purchasing copies of a
coast daily newspaper. Often as
many as 400 copies of this paper
would be sold in one day, where the
market before never exceeded ten,
As suddenly as The buying started,
It stopped, and the hegira commen-
ced, 1
That a cryptic message OF some
sort was conveyed through this daily
newspaper, advising the Hindus to
leave the valley. or perhaps calling
them to work where they would be
paid higher wages, is the only theory
advanced for this strange action.

CROWD WITNESSES
TUDERCULAR TEST

Perhaps a hundred people were
present at the Messenger ranch on
Deer creek Sunday to witness the
tfbercular demonstration by DR.. r.
J. Bestul. Two animals, bull and
COW, which were suffering from
the disease. were killed and dissect-
ed.
The bull, before being killed. is
said to have shown slight signs OF
the disease and its lungs were infect
ed. lbut the cow was in fine flesh and
there were no outward signs of Ill
health. However. the animals were
given the tubercular test some time
ago by DR.. Bestul and he was sure
of the presence OF the disease. The
cows lungs we're still sound, but the
glands under her ears, and the I'D
der. were affected. The tubercular
test had not failed and the crowd
present was convinced.
DR.. Bestul states that owners of
such animals killed can, IL they put
in claim to the state, receive\$25
per head for ordinary animals and
$50 for those that are registered.
The hide, also, is the property of the
rancher.
Josephine county is practically
free from tuberculosis in cattle, says
DR.. Bestul, only IL infected cattle
having been found here during the
past year and a half. The main OBJ
ject of the health authorities is to
keep all infected milk from the chill
dren and thus save every child pos
sible.
According to the best authorities,
cows that appear to be perfectly
healthy may have the disease and ex-
crete the organism In the milk. Dr.
B. T. Simms, professor of veterinary
medicine at the o. A. c., says:
Since young children are most
susceptible to the bovine type of the
disease and since they usually re-
ceive considerable bit of milk in
their diet the Importance of the in
fected milk can hardly be over esti-
mated. Styles, working in the chill
dren's hospital of Edinburg' found
that over halt the cases of tubercu-
losis OF bones and joints were of the
bovine type. Mitchell in the same
hospital found more than three
fourths of the tubercular lymph
glands removed from, children were
caused by the bovine bacillus. Park
and Krumweide in New York City
found about 80 per cent OF all tuber-
culosis in children under six years
of age associated with the bovine
bacillus. After study of more than
one thousand consecutive cases they

the ideas underlying the merger is
to reduce the effect OF the great de-

OF the discussion has centered on
the price per ton to be fixed for the
