DISEASE AMONG RABBITS
DISCOVERED, is REPORT
Is Claimed To BE Fatal To HUI
man Beings, Said

The reported discovery of tular-
emia, a dreaded disease among rab-
bits and claimed to be fatal to human
beings, in Franklin county, Pa, a.
cross the Mason and Dixon line from
Hagerstown, is creating alarm here as
the fall hunting season opens. Num-
erous inquiries have been received by
DR.. H. w. McComas, local physician,
concerning it's fatality to human be-
ings.
Sportsmen in Franklin county say
they have found the tell-tale white
spots on livers of rabbits they have
killed in the last week.
The disease, according to scientists
who have been endeavoring to find a
remedy for it, can be contracted by
persons who handle rabbits, and it is
known to have proved fatal in sew
eral cases.
The disease derived it's name from
Tulare county, Cal, where it was dis
covered first among rabbits and
squirrels. Since that time it has
spread eastward, several cases being
reported from Virginia. Two cases
were reported last year from Pennsyl-
vania.
In human beings, if there is an alb
rasion or cut on the finger, it sets up
inflammation, chills, fever and a high
temperature with symptoms much
like typhoid fever. In from four to
six days, the glands under the arms
and in the groin begin to swell. The
disease lasts about three weeks.

LEST WE FORGET

November IL, 1918, was a day OF
joyous celebration. The greatest war
the world had ever known had come to
an end The intense suffering that had
been caused by the war was to be al
aeviated and gradually to disappear
parents with the right to wear the
gold star, parents of boys whose fate
were unknown, parents of boys who
would return again to them-all re-
joiced.
There was determination in the
heart of all who were left behind to
celebrate this day forever out of re-
spect to those who were lying on the
battlefield or who had literally been
shoveled into shallow graves-uni-
Identified and lost forever to this
world. They would never return. The
situation was not exaggerated by the
ones at home. Was not the loss of
hundreds of thousands of lives of
sufficient Importance to remember
eternally by holiday designated for
that purpose?
But the world in general is begin
ming to forget. What does it matter
whether hundreds of thousands of
dives were lost ?" people say. There
are others who will take their places
and carry on perhaps better than the
ones before. In this day of activity
and hustle, that is merely an excuse
to ease ones conscience. Business,
business! There is no time out for a
thought and silent prayer for the
saviors of our nation. Nobody has
time, it seems.
Is it a human characteristic to think
lightly of favors? Responsibility for
the end of the great war can certainly
be laid to the determination of these
men who fought. They fought for the
betterment of humanity, and all ma
tions are indebted to them for this
supreme deed. Is this favor being
appreciated today?
The Civil war happened over 60
years ago, yet the nation still cele-
brates the occasion by general holt
day. Neither does The Republican
want to detract from this celebration,
but rather would encourage its OBJ
servance indefinitely. The World War.
largest and most destructive conflict
in the period of man, ended just nine
years ago tomorrow. 1t was ma
tion-wde struggle and involved the
United States just as much as did the
Civil War, more lives being lost than
ever before.
Let Armistice Day continue to be
celebrated in class with December
Is, the birth of Christ; the last
Thursday in November, Thanksgiving
Day: July A, the signing of the Dec
aaation of Independence; May 80,
Memorial and Decoration Day for
veterans of former wars.
Do not forget SO soon, but how like
human nature it is to soon forget. The
participants in the war were the
heroes of the hour, the idols of every
body eight years ago. Everyone has
. hero or heroine in the moving pic
lures, on the football field, in COM
munity, but how long do they last ?
Who was the outstanding figure in the
United States ten years ago? Red
Grange was the hero of football last
year, but he will be forgotten in ten,
and war veterans are being forgotten
in nine. Don't let them become erased
from memory. Think of them to-
morrow as we and the nearby-com-
munities celebrate the day of ARMS
tice, and join in the celebration with
all the enthusiasm that people had
nine years ago. They are worth the
effort now as much as they were at
the end of the war.

PEACE IS SOUGHT

Mass Meeting to Be Held by
Jewish Congregations and
Bodies July Is.

Representatives of eleven congre.

to hold a mass meeting. July 13, at

tions which resulted from the install
1ation two weeks ago of r. NJ. Bari
Khansky as ''chief rabbi of the City of

1t Is contended by the Combined He
brew Orthodox Congregations. of
which Harry l. Carroll is president,
that Barishansky has produced no Gre
dentials testifying to his membership
in the Union of Orthodox Rabbits of
s the World. and that, further, there is
no such office in this city as chief
rabbi" Mr.. Barishansky was installed
by members of the Shomer Shabhas
Congregation as rabbi of that particu-
lar congregation. Mr.. Carroll said his
organization had understood and it
was subsequently announced that the
office to which he was appointed was

At the proposed mass meeting July

congregation and organization in the
city will be present. An effort will be
made by the body to reach a decision
concerning the status of Mr.. Barishan-
sky aud that sentiment will be inter
preted in concerted action, Mr. Carroll
said today
In the preliminary meeting last
night, Rabbi George Silverstone re-
ported to the Combined Congregations
that supporters of the Barishansky
appointment had proposed their with.
drawal of the title of ''chief rabbi" if
Mr.. Carroll would retract his reported
reference to Barishansky as a rad.
ical."
Vote to Ignore Offer.
Those at the meeting, however, went
on record by unanimous vote to ig-
more the offer on the grounds that he
could not withdraw from title which
does not exist and also because it
would not recognize Barishansky until
he presented credentials from the
Union of Orthodox Rabbits of the
World
The attendance at last nights meet
ing included Rabbi Moses Horwitz,
Nathan Plotnick, president of the
Ohev Sholem Congregation. and Leon

London, Feb. 18th. The delay in Great
Britain's reply to the United States naval

Paris, Feb. 18th. The Government has
politely declined President Coolidge's
proposal for a new naval limitation con
ference. The reply, made public last
evening says that the Government is
convinced following the United States
proposal would risk compromising the
success of the work which the League of
Nations already has undertaken. The
Governments friendly and courteous re-
pIv, which at the same time is bOtn firm

ment of the Nations, says 'EXceisiOr',

newspapers on the French answer to

SEWARD BAND ON JOB

The Seward band afforded fine en- tertainment at the basketball game Thursday, selections being played prior to the game and between halves. Leader DuMarce has about 20 mem. bers in his band and with all due re- spect to the initial organization, com ments heard on the side lines were, this band appears to have the punch, snap and confidence which the origi- nal one, formerly lacked. It is also learned that every member of this band can read the music they are play ing which is also more than those at first knew. The band playing at these games every week will be eagerly looked forward to.
