GRAVE PROBLEMS
LIKELY TO ARISE
British Govt. Is to Exact a
Promise from France to
Conform With Allies

London, April l0.-Declarations that
the allies repeatedly declined to sane
ton the advance of French troops east
Of the Rhine and that statements BY
Premier Millerand and other French
ministers had given the impression
that the country would abstain from
single handed action against Germany
are contained in the note outlining the
British attitude sent to Paris, says the
London Times.
Emphasis is laid on the fact that
the grave problems in connection with
the execution of the Versailles treaty
may arise in the future, it is said, and
it is assumed that France will not act
on her own initiative, otherwise the
work of the peace conference may be.

Reports from Paris that France was
told that the earl of Derby would be
instructed not to participate in the
conference of ambassadors in Paris, un-
til France had given assurance that she
would in future act in concert with the
allies are confirmed by the Times.
The newspaper says it has learned
that French African troops, which orig
inallv occupied Frankfort have been
replaced by European forces. 1t is ex-
planned that the Africans were used
only because they were nearest Frank
fort and with view to taking swift
action.

GERMANY CALLS
FRANCE MILITARIST
And Points Out Her Own Fate as a
Warning of What France
May Expect.

Berlin, April lo.--Great Britain's dis
approval of the action of France in oc-
cupying cities in the neutral zone east
of the Rhine is hailed by newspapers
here with moderate expressions of sat
isfaction.
France is in the thrall Of chauyin-
ism and militarism," says the Vor-
waerts, which, as Germany's fate has
shown, leads nations inevitably to per
dition. IL is essential that Germany
seek to live in agreement with her
neighbors, and it is the duty of French
socialists TO see that the ground for
this understanding be prepared. An in
fernational crisis can be avoided only
by the league of nations becoming a
reality and taking a hand in the solu-
ton"

CARRIED BY DOGS

Many diseases of man and domestic
animals are carried by dogs. Every
body, of course, knows that the dog
is responsible for rabies, but it is
not So generally known that the dog
is equally responsible for other fatal
diseases. Among them may be men
toned hydatid and gid In man and
stock, tapeworm in man and especial
ly in children, tongue worm in man
and stock, measles" in sheep, cysti-
cercosis of the liver in stock. Some
of these parasites depend so absolute
~ on dogs as carriers that they would
become extinct If dogs were not avail
able as hosts. Dogs probably play a
part, also, in 1.-THE spread OF diseases

CATTLE SHRINK IN TRANSIT
Owner Loses Considerable by Not
Taking Proper Precautions in
Shipping Live Stock.

Investigations by the Colorado agri-
cultural college are beginning to show
that shrinkage of live stock when
shipped to market can be greatly re-
duced. The most important thing is
a comfortable car and not much crowd
ing. The next thing is to have the
animals well fed and contented when
they are loaded and until they are
sold at the terminal market. In other
words, plenty of feed and water and
comfortable quarters are most impor-
tant.
"Some farmers" says r. w. Clark,
live stock specialist for that institu-
ton, "ship regularly with little or no
shrinkage while others at all times
have enormous Shrinkage."
