Hog Cholera In Maryland

Referring to the hog cholera work
in the State of Maryland we believe
you will be interested in the follow
ing summary of the reported out
breaks of the disease fer the year
1919.
Reports to this office show that
the disease existed on $40 farms dur
ing the wear. OF these, PA were
primary infections or new outbreaks
and 1856 were secondary infection or
outbreaks which had spread from
nearby premises.
AS the control of the disease mas
been the aim of the work, it is
worthy of note that, of the 366 sec
ondary outbreaks. the disease had
appeared on 290 of the farms before
the cooperating authorities were IN
formed of the original outbreak.
Therefore in the 274 original out
breaks, the disease only spread to 76
farms after the authorities had been
notified.
OF the original outbreaks, the
source of infection was traced in 123
instances. The data thus obtained
shows that 81 per cent of the new
outbreaks were caused by garbage
PRODUCTION of new stock.
The lessons from the years work
have taught us that there are two
principle sources of new outbreaks
within the State, and two main
reasons for the spread of the infec-
ton once an outbreak is started In
a neighbOrhood.
The principle sources of infection
are, as noted above, garbage feeding
and introduction of new stock.
The two reasons for the spread OF
the infection are, FIRST; failure to
notify the authorities OF the out
break, SECOND; failure on the part
of the owners TO promptly and prop
erly dispose of the carcasses OF the
hogs that die.
In regard to the above, we respec-
lively request that you promptly
notify your County Agent, Mr.. J. F.
Davis, Cambridge, or Bureau repre-
sentative in your district. DR.. E. J.
Mclaughlin, Salisbury, of any illness
among swine OF failure on the part
of owners to promptly and properly
dispose of carcasseS. While neither
of these gentlemen are expected to
treat sick animals, they will give the
necessary advice and aid in stopping
the spread of the outbreak.

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

You are often told to beware of a
cold" but why? We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs, low
ers the vitality and paves the way
for the more serious diseases. Peo-
rle who contract pneumonia, first
take cold. The longer a cold hangs
on the greater the danger, especially
from the germ diseases, as a cold
prepares the system for the recep-
ton and development of the germs
of consumption. diptheria. scarlet
fever and whooping cough. The
quicker you get rid of your cold, the
less the DANCE" of contracting one
OF these diseases. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has a great reputa-
ton as a cure for colds and can be
depended upon. 1t is pleasant to
take.-Adv.

the politician most despised by
Clemenceau--whose bitter jibes re-
main unforgotten.
Succeeding to Clemenceau's Office,
Millerand found himself instantly
beset with difficulties. Clemcnceau
had made peace with an Anglo
American alliance in mind. To the
creation and maintenance Of such an
alliance he had sacrificed not little
Of what most Frenchmen regarded
as the just deserts Of France, in
view Of her great sacrifices during
the war. But when Millerand came
to power he found that the United
States had retired from Europe and
that Great Britain, 80 far from
standing with France In support of
the Treaty of Versailles, now open
ly and secretly favored an amend
ment which amounted in French
opinion to a revision downward to

not alone Of her rights but Of what
was essential to her future solvency
and security.
Moreover. Clemenceau, In adher-
ing to the Anglo american purposes
at Paris, had alenated Italy, and
Millerand found Italy now standing
with Great Britain in every move
made in the direction Of a revision
of the Treaty Of Versailles. Nor
was the question of Russia less diff
cult, for, while France demanded
that no peace be made with any Red
government which repudiated the
French debt, Great Britain became
more and more favorable to recog-
milton and commercial intercourse
with Trotzky and Lenine.

trace the man in question. Two
days later a telegram was received
by the authorities in Ceylon stating
that the policyholder was found
alive, none the worse for his death
and cremation. He was arrested
and taken to Ceylon.
The policyholder in his defence
stated that Nagendram, one of his
relatives in whose favor he had made
the will, had sent in the premium
IN the first instance without his
knowledge, and he was induced to
make his will, and the accused did
SO, as he was not in a position to pay
the premiums on the policy. Nagen-
dram sent him false telegram in
forming him that his (Velupillai's)
tather was i'll. He showed this tele-
gram to his estate superintendent
and got leave to see his father. On
his arrival at Colombo he was in
formed by Nagendram that his
father was in sound health. He was
further informed that if he returned
to the estate he (Velupillai) would be
arrested, as his funeral rites had
been performed in Maskeluja, and a
claim had been submitted to the in
surance company. Being afraid Of
apprehension, he went to Chidam-
baram, in southern India, on the ad-
vice of Nagendram.
1t appears that one vallipuram
pretended to be i'll and impersonated
Velupillai and was seen by the doc
tor Then the person was reported
dead. Vallipuram took his place in
the coffin for the time being, and sub
sequently slipped out and the empty
coffin was placed on the funeral pyre
and reduced to ashes.

his task then to build up and solidi
fly the nationalist majority that

has as steadily supported Millerand

The American Trend

Thus, at the moment when we are
frankly reacting in the direction Of
greater emphasis upon the legisla-
tive and less upon the executive
branch Of government, France seems
to be entering upon exactly the op-
posite path. Millerand is q strong
man, although hardly suggesting
either Colonel Roosevelt or Mr.. VIII
son. 1t is preposterous to dream
that he would seek q dictatorship,
much less anything suggesting
Napoleonic coup, for in many re-
spects he remains a Socialist at
heart; but it viii not be easy for him
to succeed where Poincare and all
his predecessors failed. The strug.
gle the American Congress, and par
ticularly the Senate, has recently
had to regain its old influence will
not encourage French Senators or
Deputies to yield their prerogatiyes
willingly.
But in one field Millerand vii
certainly have great influence. II
the event that his successor should
seem to defend the integrity of The
Treaty of Versailles less whole
heartedly than he has, a word froa
the Elysee Palace would have enor'
nous influence all over France. II
his new Office Millerand viii still b
able to mount guard upon his cause
But there is small likelihood that ns
will be called upon to make such az
appeal to the French nation over ths
heads of the legislature and the
Prime Minister. for there is lihs
temptation to any Prime Minister ~
follow such a policy.
In all human probability, thefe

Great Britain-for the United
States had disappeared-Millerand

Great Britain-for the United
States had disappeared-Millerand
found himself not in a minority, but
forced to fight at every turn to de-
fend French demands, while at the
same moment he was being attacked
in the rear by his colleagues in the
French Parliament, who insisted
that he should make no concession
and consent to no reduction Of
French benefits as assured by the
Treaty Of Versailles. A more diff
cult situation it would be impossible
to conceive Of, and it must be said
that at the outset and for many
weeks there was very real posi-
bility that Millerand would be COM
PEELED to resign, 80 bitterly did
French politicians resent even the
relatively minor concessions made
by the Premier.
But Millerand survived, and on
the whole grew stronger with each
month. At first his strength rested
not little upon the general feeling
in France that his fall would be
interpreted abroad as indicative Of
French division Of opinion; that is,
that while he actually fell because
he seemed to France to defend her
rights too weakly, he would appear
outside Of France to have been
elected because he insisted too
vigorously upon the French view,
which opposed any revision of the
treaty.
The decisive moment for Mile
rand was undoubtedly the hour
when he decided that the French
troops should go to Frankfort, since
the Germans had deliberately vio-
lated the Treaty Of Versailles and
sent troops into the Ruhr. This move
excited violent opposition in Great
Britain and not a little criticism in

they were used to bring together
that group Of radicals and extrem-
lists who were later to become the
defeatists. He was accused of everv
kind of failure in Office that the
mind Of man could conceive. Lack
Of cannon, lack of shells, too few
doctors, insufficient hospital equip
ment, all were charged to him, with
out thought on the part of the So
clallsts of the years of earnest en-
deavor they had given to laying
France bare, defenseless and unpre-
pared for war, and without a
thought of themselves taking anv
responsibility. They forgot the first
break between the Socialists and
Millerand in 1904, when he had re-
fused to go with them in cutting
the army estimates, and they forgot
the ten years since that he had
spent in fighting their program. But
they remembered with the most in
tense bitterness how it was Mile
rand who had won every time they
came to grips, and in the hour of
Frances trial they concentrated on

ono Of the numerous plantations In
Ceylon, named Sinnathamby Velu-
plllai, took a long period endowment
policy for $1,000 with the National
Mutual Life Insurance Association
of Australia, on July IS, 1919. In
spite of the fact that he was
minor, Velupillai made will on De-
cember 81, 1919, in favor of two
elderly relatives. On May IL, 1920,
the secretary of the life association
received claim application from

the President of Neeryaly.
apparently the papers appeared
to be quite in order, but 4he sus-

association were reused by the fact
that q minor who had taken out a
long period endowment policy should
have transferred the policy to an
elderly relative, who, in the ordinary
course of events, could not hope to
survive the policyholder and enjoy
the benefits accruing from the
policy. So inquiries were instituted,
but the police reported that the
policyholder died in Maskeluja on

enlist Anglo-American support by
sweeping concessions to Wilson and
Lloyd George.
His brief period as Premier has
been for Mllerand one long battle
with Lloyd George On the whole,
he has not done badly So far, if
the Treaty of Versailles has been
in part modified, revised to a de-
gree, the larger part still remains
in vigor. Moreover, thanks to
French firmness, to the occupation
of Frankfort, to the victory Of War
saw, the Germans are at last per-
forming in two important respects a:
they are delivering coal and they
are disarming. It remains to make
them pay.
Millerand's successor will be faced
with the same difficulties which he
surmountcd. French public senti-
ment unanimously demands that
Germany pay. Any Prime Minister
who consented to a formal revision
Of the Treaty Of Versailles would
be driven from office and his action
repudiated without delay. Even
Millerand was compelled to make a
formal statement of what occurred
at each conference with Lloyd
George, so suspicious are the French
of the British Prime Minister and
so convinced Of his great cleverness.
Insist on Treaty Terms
The election of Millerand as Presi-
dent is only one more indication of
the extent of French support for
the policy which he pursued, the
policy which insists upon enforcing
tie Treaty Of Versailles to the let
ter. 1t is new challenge to the
so-called liberal elements in the
world at large and to the Labor
as we'll as the Liberal leadership in
Great Britain. Whoever succeeds
Millerand can retain office only by
following his example, and BRAND,
talked Of as the next Prime Min
lister, has been one of the group, to
which belong Poincare and Tardieu,
which has criticized Millerand un-
sparingly because his policy was not
sufficiently vigorous to satisfy them.
The truth is that apart from an
insignificant Socialist group, which
is itself divided, there it no opposi-
ton and no division on party lines
in France, SO far as the main ques-
ton Of the Treaty of Versailles is
concerned, and the election of Mile
rand is only one more evidence of
this fact, which American observers
have been so slow to appreciate. In
the days of the peace conference not
a few Americans in Paris were con-
vinced that French public opinion,
that the masses of the French people,
were willing to follow President Will
son to any lengths in his purpose
to achieve a peace of understanding.
Nothing could have been further
from the truth. France, like Italy
had certain purposes in mind; they
did not change and they have not
changed.
French feeling being what it is,
there is every reason to believe that
French craftsmanship will seek, with
ever increasing industry, to build up
Continental bloc to take the place
Of that Anglo-F French American al
lance which was the chief objective
Of Clemenceau. The French appre-
ciate very clearly that there is nc
