MONTPELIER
Out Of 63 Cows Tested, SO Were Found
to Have tuberculosis.

The testing of cattle in Montpelier
has been stopped for lack of federal
funds TO meet the state funds so that
very. likely no more testing on the
cooperative plan between the state and
federal government will occur for six
weeks at least; and if the federal gov
ernment does not enact special legisla
tion for the rest of the fiscal year
probably little federal testing will be
done until after the end of the fiscal
wear There were three herds tested
the latter part of the week in Mont
pelier Those of Messrs Bliss, Stack
pole and Buzzell. who were bringing
milk into Montpelier, made total of
63 cows, of which 80 were found to be
suffering with tuberculosis These cat

day for killing and probably many

the United States Gov

ReparatiOns From Ger
many. I.

Washington, D. c., April 4.-Formal
statement of the attitude of the United
States as to German reparations Is con
tained in an exchange of eommunica
tions with German government officials
made public to-day by the state depart
ment. They are in the form OF memo
randa transmitted through Loring
Drcsel, American high commissioner at
Berlin.
The German communication, dated
March %, was written by DIR. Walter
Simons, German foreign minister, and
asserted it was entirely clear" both
to the government and people that
Germany must make reparation TO the
limit OF her ability to pay but sought
examination by unbiased experts" TO
determine the extent of her ability.
In his reply dated March 20 Secre
tary Hughes expressed pleasure at Ger
many's "unequivocal expression" Of its
desire to pay the limit of ability and
declared the United States stands
with the governments of the allies in
holding Germany responsible for the
war and therefore morally bound to
make reparation, so far as may be pos
sible.
This government" Sec. Hughes,
memorandum said, believes that it rec
ognizes in the memorandum of DR.. Sim
ons a sincere desire on the part of the
German government to reopen negotia
tons with the allies on a new basis and
hopes that such negotiations. once re-
lsumed, may lead TO prompt settle
ment which will at the same time sat
Iisfy the just claims of the allies and /
permit Germany hopefully TO renew its
productive activities

DUBLIN PLACED UNDER
STRICTER MILITARY RULE

Dublin, Jan. 2O.-The military au-
thorities issued a proclamation today
declaring that If bomb and firearm at
tacks on crow forces in motor ears
co.ltlnue, known rebels will be ar
rled as hostages for the safe conduct
of the occupants of all motor vehicles,
which are the proDerty of The armed
forces of the crown
The notice applies t the city and
county of Dublin n county Meath.
The proclamation causes surprise,
as, although such employment OF host
has been in operation in the man
tai law areas of south Ireland since
early in December. martial law has
not been declared in Dublin. The au-
thorlties assert that the practice Of
carrying hostages has proved effica-
cious in the martial law areas, no at
attack having been made in any case
where a hostage was carried.
Aomb proof cars are employed by
the military here. These have a spe-
cha steel netting, the sides beng pro-
tected by steel plates with asbestos
lining.
