WORMS ARE CHIEF
ENEMY OF SHEEP
Sheep Not Unduiy Susceptible To
Disease-Most Abnormal condI.
tions Due To Worms.

There Is a popular belief that
sheep are subject to a number of dis.
eases Of rather difficult Identification
This is not true, says G. P. Williams
sheep and goat specialist, Extension
Division, Louisiana State University
Aside from occasional attacks of in
digestion brought about by sudden
changes to succulent forage, damage
done by stomach worms is practical
ly the only abnormal condition met
with in Louisiana that the farmer
could not have diagnosed by careful
examination.
Occasionally sheep have been neg.
lected and half starved, and this con.
dition Is mistaken for disease. In
two or three parishes sheep have
sore feet, but this trouble may easily
be identified by the farmer II he will
examine the hoof. which will be
found with loose horn and sensitive
sole. Grub in the head is most COM
mon; most sheep have them. like
cows have MARBLES. Neither grubs
in the head nor MARBLES in the back
kill the animals.
When sheep are in bad condition
and no external symptoms indicate
the cause of the trouble. then the
owner should by all means suspect
worms and take measures to expel
them from his sheep.

Acting Minister Of Justice In
Berlin Tells Associated
Press of Consideration For
Americans,

Berlin, May 25 Germany has not
liquidated American private CT buSl-
ness property property, Clemens Won
Delbureck, acting minister of justice,
told the Associated Press correspond
ent today. He declared that Germany
did, on March 4, 1912, issue ruling
whereby the liquidation was permitted
because America already had done the
same.
While America carried out this liq-
uidation measure, the minister said
that Germany never did so, but, on the
contrary merely regulated and ad-
ministered American property. when
this administration is removed the
Americans will have their free proper
tv again" said Herr Won Dol -ueCk.
"In no single case has germany
touched or violated American trade
marks" continued the minister. In
the cases Of patents we distributed Ii
censes for their use by Germans in
five cases but we never declared Amer
lean patents null or expired,
American patents and trademarks
might he limited in Germany by act of
January 3, 1918, if IL lay in the public
interest and German could have, un-
der certain circumstances a license to
use an American patent. This order
was issued because America, long be-
fore had passed a similar law and OPP
Grated it in general. Germany was
particularly hesitating IN all these
questions Notwithstanding America
passed a pretentious law of this kind
because Germany hoped to be able
soon to resume friendly business re-
Iations with the United States
The ministry Of justice quoted A..
Mitchell Palmer, formerly alien prop
erty custodian of America, as having
declared in his report to the United
States senate in February last tnae
Germany had done the same thing as
Americ in HquidatnG alien property
but had always been a little ahead OF
America in doing SO.

ceded America and correct to say that
germany only used retaliation" said

Military Authorities At Tam.
piCO Are Making Strenuous.
Efforts to Capture the
Robbers.

Washington, July 25.--Acting on
special instructions from President
Carranza, the military authorities are
making unusual efforts to capture the
bandits who on July held up boat
from the United States cruiser Chey-
enne in the Temesi river and robbed
the crew This information was CON
tanned in a radio message to the navy
department today from Captain Fin
ney. senior American naval officer at
Tampico.
The message said the Mexican au-
thorities had adopted a very concilia-
tory attitude and that General Con
zales, the military commander in the
Tampico district, had been instructed
by President Carranza to increase the
safeguards and guarantees offered
American lives and property.
Commander Finney's message said:
General Gonzales, who is Mexican
military commander at Tampico, has
Just given me information that the
robbery was committed, he believes,
by an isolated group of brigand bands
OF civilians, who are operating in the
swampy lands adjoining the Temesi
river, near TampiCo, under the lead
ership of chief named Aguilar. Gen
eral Gonzales has pursued this band
ever since the robbery occurred, with
some success. He has killed a num-
Der of horses and mules they had
stolen from Americans, but he states
that his operations against the ban
dts are carried on under the great dis
advantage of guerrilla warfare in a
swamp that the river frequently over
flows, He is securing assistance from
the army post in the state of Tamaui-
pas and will continue his efforts un-
til the band is captured or dispersed.
The president of Mexico has issued
instructions, he informed me- to put

Washington, July 21.-DiplomatiC
discussions with Japan over the Shan
tung provision in the peace treaty
have reached stage where President
Wilson is represented as very hopeful
of developments within a few days
that will clear the air and remove
much of the opposition in the senate.
This Interpretation was expressed
by Senator Spencer, republican, of
Missouri, after a long talk with Mr..
Wilson today about the treaty. The
senator declined to go into details and
both the White House and state de-
partment were silent on the subject.
There were Indications however, that
the conversations with Japan, though
quite informal in character, had as
their object such a declaration from
Toxic as would satisfy China and re-
suit in her acceptance of the treaty.
Senator Spencer also discussed at
length with the president the subject
of reservations, taking with him to
the White House a draft of the five
reservations drawn up and submitted
to the president, it is understood, at
the suggestion of Chairman Lodge OF
the foreign relations committee. The
draft also is said 'to have been shown
to other republicans of varying shades
Il cl-iqiaN but 3dr Spencer made il
clear in presenting them that he alone
stood sponsor for their phraseology.
Reservations Imperative.
The resel yations included the Mon
roe doctrine, withdrawal from Shan
tung, national determination of do
mestic issues and Independence of ac.
ton under article ten. Mr., Spencer
told the president that without some
such qualifications the treaty never
could he ratified, while if they were
included ratification would come
quickly. He said Mr. Wilson promised
to give the proposed reservations his
earnest consideration, and conveyed
the impression that he personally was
not opposed to such a course except
for the complications that might re-
suit should the treaty be returned foI
renegOtiatiOn.
Notice also was taken at the White
House during the day of senate dis
cussion of the defensive treaty witt

others have charged the president is

without making any explanation
the White House made it clear thai
Mr.. Wilson has no intention of sub
mitting the Franco-American agree
ment for senate ratification until con.
sideration of the treaty with Germany
is we'll under way.
The president plans, it was stated, tc
present the French treaty after rls
tour of the country which will not be-
gin until about August TO- and may
continue for several weeks.

come out the men broke down the
door and started tearing up the floor.
The woman became frightened and
jumped into a well while her children
screamed for help.
Washington, the affidavit stated,
ran out of the house with a shotgun
in his hand and when asked by the
white men what he wanted, he is re-
ported to have said:
ITO see what is the matter with the
women and children"
Dandy, the negro minister alleged,
threatened to kill Washington, but the
latter fired first and killed Dandy.
while the other man ran away.
Washington gave himself IN to the
police, the report said, and was lodged
in McCrae jail. At midnight a mob
of between IS and 100 men took
Washington out of Jail and carried
him to Milan, where he was lynched
over the spotNwhere Dandy was killed
He was hanged TO a post and his body
