TWO CASES 0F RABIES
 REPORTED AMONG DOCS
Health Department Issues Warning and Gives Ad-
 vice for Prevention

Dr. Fred P Lee, superintendent of the health department, today made known that two cases of rabies in locally owned dogs have been called to the attention of the board. As soon as the department came in possession of the facts, the dogs infected were ordered killed and the heads were sent to New Haven. where diagno- sis will be made. It Is expected that report on the matter will be received at the local department within day or two Whether or not the cases in question are aggravated or slight will be determined, but the local depart IF ent, fin preliminary diagnosis. To- cated positive traces of the disease. There is at the present time one more dog which is being held in quaran- tine, being under observation to de- termine If 1t is suffering from the dis ease.
 Dr. Lee has issued warning to all dog owners in this city to watch their animals closely. The health superin- tendent desires that all owners see to it that their dogs are kept as far as possible on their own premises, and not allowed to roam. In this way the danger Of a spread of rabies will be greatly lessened, and in any case where there Is the slightest suspicion of rabies existing. the owners are re- quested to get in touch at once with the health department or else secure veterinary surgeon.
 Dr. Lee explained that in cases of mild rabies, the dog shows symptoms ir the sharpness of his barking. The animal will also be noticed to change its position very frequently, and the lower jaw will droop more than usual. The dog will also display a shyness, and will usually seek out some dark spot to lie down.
 In the more aggravated cases, the inside of the animals mouth will dis play very reddish color, and there will be more than the usual amount of saliva. Dr. Lee said this afternoon that the impression prevails that rabied dogs froth from the mouth. This. he said, is not always the e se A dog with an aggravated case of rabies will show a tendency to run and roam considerably, and in so do- ing the animal usually snaps and bites at all objects with which it comes in contact. Dr. Lee advises the use of an anti-rabies toxin, which is a cer- tain preventative.

S0,000 Likely to ,Sc Ousted From AL sace-Lorraine and Property of 1,- 900 Wealthy Persons May Also Be Confscated by French.

Paris, Aug. 2.-(By Associated Press 1.-The British note on the h. ter-allied debt question has removed all possibility of France consenting to :norat )rium for Germany, in tn. view of official circles expressed here today
 Pleased With Poincare.
 Premier Poincare's firm handling of the controversy with the Germans ever the payment of private debts has brought general satisfaction here.
 It Is regarded as auguring well for the attitude the premier will take at the coming London conference which will deal with the reparations ques. ticn. inter-allied debts and related is- sues.
 Punishment For Germany.
 The question as to what constitute the measures Of restoration" men tioned in the French note to Germany was Of paramount interest this morn. ing The Germans. according to Le Journal, know already that they con- sist of the expulsion of so00o Ger mans from Alsaice- Lorraine and the conf1scation of their property in ad- lition to the property of 1000 of the richest persons on the left bank of the Phine and the seizure of cities of Dusseldorf. Dulsburg and Ruhort
 The critics of M. Poincare, such as the newspaper L'Oeuvre, however, look upon his letter as noisy out burst. The proba ability. they say, Is that the affair will be thrown in with the whole question of separations and inter allied debts.
 French Hopes Dashed.
 The Earl of Balfour's note con- corning war debts has considerably diminished French hopes as to what the London meeting can effect toward the settlement of Europe.
 The i'ritish attitude Is perfectly logical" remarks Ie Journal, "but 1t is to be regretted that Great Britain has not adopted the generous meas ure many of her citizens hoped to see her take.
 If England insists on our 7aying her we can repeat her gesture, point ing our finger to Berlin. Indeed how can Lloyd George press ,ls to pay at the very moment when he declares 9 moratorium for Germany indispens- .ble?'
