milton to the Kolchak Government, but
have expressed their sense of moral

RevlvIna HeraIdry.

In the use of devices and weapons
that linked the great war with the
wars of preceding centuries, the adop-
ton of kind Of heraldry by the
airmen revived also the individuality
of medieval shields and banners.
Sometimes this heraldry turned out to
be mistaken symbolism, as In the
case Of the German aviator who en-
blazOned his fighting plane with a Ba-
varian lion in pursuit Of a French
cock. The emblems varied according
to taste; an Indian shooting an arrow,
the flying stOrk, the Indian head with
which Lufbery decorated his machine
the winged serpent, an ancient token
of wisdom and speed; dove, and a
comet. In an older time such insignia
would, no doubt, have become heredi-
tary. In the twentieth century they
served simply to express the brave
gayety and humor Of youth.

SIGNATURES ARE ATTACHED
TO WORLD PEACE PACT
Germans Sign Treaty In Hall Where
In 1871 They HumiIiated
France.

Versailles. and the allied
and associated powers signed the
peace terms here Saturday in the
same imperial hall where the Germnas
humbled the French so ANONYMOUSLY
forty-eight years ago.
This formally ended the world war,
which lasted just thirty-seven days
less than five years.
Saturday, the day Of peace, is the
fifth anniversary of the murder OF
Archduke Francis Ferdinand at Sara
jsVo.
The ceremony of signing the peace
terms was brief. Premier Clemenceau
called the session to order in the Hall
Of Mirrors of the chateau of Versailles
at $40 o'clock. The signing began
when DR.. Hermann Mueller and
Johannes Bell, the German signato-
ries. affixed their names. Herr Muel-
Ter signed at 3:12 o'clock and Herr
Bell at 3:13 o'clock President Wilson,
first of the allied delegates, signed q
minute later. At S:45 o'clock the
momentous session was concluded.
All the diplomats and members OF
their parties wore conventional civil
ian clothes. There we're few of the
fanciful uniforms in the great, seal
covered document signed today in
contrast with the Franco-German
peace session of 1871. There were
present today grizzled French veter'
ans of the Franco Prussian war. They
replaced the Prussian guardsmen OF
the previous ceremony and the French
men today watched the ceremony with
grim satisfaction.
The conditions of 1871 were exactly
reversed. Today the disciples OF BIS

Three incidents were emphasized D,
the smoothness with which the cere
mony was conducted. The first Q
these was the failure of the Chimes
delegation to sign. The second wa

public, came from the Germans. Whe

prepared by the United States Depart

The carcasses of animals which have
succumbed to infectious diseases like

just as long as they remain where
scavengers can reach them and por-
lions of them can be carried away

animals which are liable to be at

casses of animals which have died
from other causes than infectious dis
eases, unless they are disposed OF in
q proper way, are source OF dam
ger. Left on the surface of the
ground, their odor soon invites scav-
engers to congregate and to bring with
| them the infectious material with
which they may have become contain
mated by eating carrion elsewhere.
Dead animals on the farm should be
buried deep enough to prevent them
from being dug up again, or they
should be burned. 10 burn large car
casses like those of dead horses and
cattle is difficult and laborious and re
ouires large quantity of fuel. In
most instances it is more economical
to bury them. All animals which>have
died from infectious diseases and arr

layer of lime before the graves arr
