a change in human nature before the

DIR. HAIMHAUSEN GERMAN
AMBASSADOR TO u. S.
He Is Selected for appointment But
HASN'T Received u. IL. from Washington


Berlin. Tuesday. Aug. 26-Dr Haniel
Won Haimhausen, former counsellor Of
the German embassy at Washington,
has been selected for appointment as
German ambassador to the United
States according to authoritative in
formation to-day.
Washington, Aug. 27.-No inquiry has
been made of the United States as to
whether Haniel Won Haimhausen for
mer counsellor of the imperial German
embassy here will be acceptable as
ambassador. but there is every indica-
tion that this government will not re-
ceive Haimhausen or any one else for
merly connected with the embassy
under the regime of Count Won Bern
storff
Nearly everyone connected with the
German embassy In Washington in a
responsible position in the days pre-
ceding Americas entrance into the war
Is regarded by the government as more
or less involved in the intrigues and
plots which stirred the country.
When ii was proposed to send
Count Bernstorf to Paris at the head
of the German peace commission the
American delegation let 1t be known
promptly that while perhaps they had
no legal right to dictate the per-
sonnel of the German commission yet
they would have no communication
with Bernstorff and his appointment
would certainly not aid the Germans
in securing the best peace terms.
Haimhausen's attachment to the
German peace commission in the cap
acity of secretary was scarcely less
welcome but II was tolerated by the
American commissioners for the rea-
son that his familiarity with the is
sues might mako him useful and his
connection with the operations of the
German embassy here was less than
| that of his principal.

Washington. Aug 27.-Recent arrests

He declared that liquor dealers who
thought the law enforcement activities
Of the department of justice had been

were mistaken.
Some cities opened wide when it was

condition. The people out where the
fields are green are obeying the law be-
cause 1t Is the law. while in the cities
there apparently is an attitude that pro-
hibition can be evaded. We will show
them differently"

CONSTRUCTIVE TUBERCULOSIS
LEGISLATION

The following is from a recent is
sue of the Orleans County Farm
Bureau.
With the passage of House Bill 76
by the legislature on March II and
signed by the governor on March 25,
a thoroughly efficient measure to
eradicate bovine tuberculosis from
cattle was put into effect.
Heretofore, cattle owners could re-
ceive indemnity from the state for
reacting cattle when slaughtered, af-
ter private test, but were not under
obligation to submit the remainder of
their herd for the tuberculin test. I'm
der such law the state treasury last
year paid out over $4,000 to owners
of tuberculosis affected animals
When the test was conducted by an
employe of the state and federal de-
partments of agriculture, acting
Jointly, a signed agreement was en-
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1919-06-25

tered into with the owner for the OBJ
servance of certain uniform methods
and rules for tuberculosis-free ac-
credited herds. Under this system, a
small number of entire herds were
placed on the "tuberculosis-free ac-
credited list"
The new measure provides in part
that payment for reacting cattle will
be made, provided the owner of the
reacting cattle and the owner or
owners from whom such cattle have
within ninety days been bought, has
tested his entire herd or herds with
in one year in accordance with the
regulations prescribed by said COM
missioner under section five hundred,
or provided the owner or owners of
such herd or herds from whom the
cattle were bought shall agree to test
such entire herd or herds under such
regulations, in which case the claim
shall not be paid until such entire
herd or herds have been tested"
This provision makes it clear that
eradication of tuberculosis is the
main aim rather than insurance to
those who formerly tested part of
their herd only when required to do
so when they wished to ship cattle
out of the state. Since tuberculosis
can be transmitted to children by
feeding them unpasteurized milk
from tubercular animals, we should
safeguard our public health and sub
NIT our animals for test, especially
since an indemnity is paid to the own
er if the animal proves infected.
There are now 16 accredited
herds" (passed two annual or three
semi-annual tests without reactors)
in Vermont and 1873 herds have pass
, ed one clean test. There are 348
herds now under supervision, ZIG of
which are purebred. With this found
alton and a constructive law in force,
Vermont bids well to become center
of clean herds
