M'Liss Tuberculosis Lu Cattle. One reason why farmers should have their- cattle tested for tuberculosis is the financial loss which they suffer by having. tubercular animals in their herds. 9:s the disease is at first slow in development and does not induce sudden death, like anthrax, black leg. or hog cholera, the farmer does not realize the loss that he endures dure s by having tuberculosis in his herd until one or more animals develop` the dis .ease in an advanced degree and die or .are slaughtered, when they are at once seen to be rotten with the dis- ease. Such animals will have had the disease a long time without it being suspected and will have been giving off in their milk, saliva and drop- pings, large numbers of tuberculosis bacilli. in this way the bacilli are spread around, the food, water and atmosphere in the stable get con- tamnnated with them and other mem- bers of the herd contract the disease from these contaminated materials. The tuberculin test will indicate whether or not an animal .is tuber- cular long before any clinical symp- toms are visible, thus enabling one to deal with such an animal before it becomes a: dangerous spreader of the disease. When an animal is shown to ,be tubercular it should not be allowed to Mix with the rest ..of the herd. When cattle are purchased to add to the herd it should be only when sub - feet to the tuberculin test., as cattle may have every visible indication of good health and yet be tubercular, the disease not yet having developed to an advanced ?agree. It is :, therefor.- strongly recom- mended that farmers 1st. Have their herds tested for tuberculosis with the tuberculin. test. and. That they slaughter the ani, mals that have the disease in an ad- vanced degree. 3rd. That they separate the cattle that react to the test from those xchieh do not react_ Ives v remove e th e ca 4th.

Likewise at the West Broniwieli meetiiug there was a majority vote in favor of the men teniaiuiug out, but a decision was reached ;that ''lite strikers should abide try the 'de- eision of the 13irmi* gliam meeting.. Winston Spencer Ceurel ill, Min- Istei' of Munitions, announced` on Saturday iininedeately^ the inunittens strikers resumed work a committee would be appointed to investigate the labor conditions which rendered the embargo necessary, and, report what further measures should. be adopted, in view of these conditions, TO maintain. and, where necessary,: in- crease the output of munitions with 'due ' regard to the effective and economical use of labor, anioneywan l material. The Minister pointed out that` this step wouldrbe taken iii accordance with an agreement with the Trades Union Advisory Committee, as a 're- sult of which that committee "advised the strikers to resume work. The Investigating Committee will consist of three representatives, respective- ly of the Government; the employers and labor, and will be presided over by a neutral chairman. The National Service officials were busy Saturday at Coventry and Birmingham preparing forms calling the strikers of military` age to the colors should they ignore the Government's ultimatum and not return to work on Monday. It is estimated that only one-fifth of the munition workers of Coventry are unemployed, and many, of these are enforced` idlers who are unable to work, while the skilled men de- cline to prepare their tools. Many labor leaders have proceeded to the affected di stritts to urge the men In return to work. Among them is Jos- eph, Havelock Wilson, head of the Seamen's Union, who took 400 sail- ors with him. The Government has received. offers of assistance from many quarters, while workers in many district have passed resolutions condemning the strike. Newspapers here comment on the Government's announcement mostly with approval, although they recog- nize ecognize that the situation is a grave one, and contend that it will be generally endorsed by the country. The country's uneasinessis mani- fested by some papers which, while admitting that a strike at the pres- ent time is indefensible, think that a settlement might have been. reached by a discussion and a com- promise. :rotates A t Saves C:aitd, 1 ° i)sAY , Pees. ger y eer-. c.ir eat, wittee 'night have prey - 1 fa, al, occurred at tie home of Mer, 'd ;:ars.

M':taa milian Harden Does Some Very Plain Speilang. AsMSTERDAM, July 29. — Maxi- lian Harden devotes practically the whole of Saturday's Die Zukunft to proving {hat Chancellor -von 'Me. - charge against the Allies that they want to annihilate Germany- is untrue. Harden quotes President Wilson's Mount Vernon speech and Rt, Hon. A. J. Balfour's last House of Commons speech to show how bit- ter itter the Entente nations are against militarism, but -sat they are ready to give the German people a fair chance. He compares these speeches with those recently delivered either by the German Chancllor or various Junkers in the Prussian 'tipper House where the demand for un- limited anneationS is continually heard. He concludes by saying: "Ger- many must begin. to see ,clearly on e inch. side is the will to annexations. Germany- must begin to fight against this power in its midst—apower with which Germany herself long ago be- came disgusted." Fifty -Two Divisions Identified. - WASHINGTON, July 29:—A total of 52 German divisions have been identified in the Aisne -Marne fight ing, said an official despatch from France. This represent approximate- ly one-quarter of the total number troops on of ratan o the e GeWestern front, the despatchsaid, and shows the tremendous concentration the en- emy has been forced to slake to meet Gen. Foch's counter-attack, The' de- spatch also said that the French cap- tured fifty- officers, 1,800 men, four nannon, 40 trench mortars and 300' machine guns in the recent local operation north of Mont Didier in the Picardy sector, Count In f)isfa%or, LONDON, July 29• ----Emperor Wil- liam has refused to receive Connt Luxburg, so that the former German Minister to Argentina might justify himself, says an Exchange Telegraph despatch from Amsterdam.

PARIS, July 29.—Frenclt advanc- ed guards have reached the north bank of the Ourcq elver, and Allied troops have entered Fere-en-Tarda- noir, the great'Gerhnan supply base, which lies in the middle line of the Aisne -Marne sector, The announcement of the War Of- fice last night adds that the villages of Aathenay and. Olisy-et-Violaine, on the east flank, lying to the southwest of Rheims, have been occupied. "NTorth of the Marne we have con- tinued our onward march in the re- gion of the"Ourect, Notwithstanding the resistance of the enemy, who : em- ployed m-ployed every* effort to check our pas- sage of the river, we succeeded in throwing acleanced elements on the north bank; We have pen.etretted into 1+'ere-e u-' 1't u•denois. "Northeast of the forest of Ris we reached Chauipviosy. " "0n ahe right our troops hare' oc cupiecl Anthenay and Olisey-et-Vio- laine, and have approached apprec- iably the line of the road from Rheims to D01•inans," This important official announce- ment indicates that th.e Germans' have been forced out of the line that they settled down to hold last Wel- nesday. These victories make it more probable that the Huns will be forced back to the Vesle, but they have almost succeeded in .extricating their men from ` the serious sack south of Fere-en-Tardenois, and the Allies cannot hope for the big bag of prisoners that seemed probable just after the counter -offensive was launched. Still the battle is progres- sing favorable to ' Poch's armies. Insteadof being 38 miles from Paris as they were a week ago, the German armies are now 49 -miles from the French capital., The original line held by the Allies before they began their great coun- ter -offensive was. 74 miles long, now it is 64 miles. Gen. March. American Chief of Staff, made these announce- ments Sunday in reciting the achieve- ments of -the French and American' battering ram during the week.. So great is the ,.American military, representation in Europe that two additional ° army corps hare been or ganized, *making' five corpe in the army under command of Gen.' Pershing. "The Boches are retreating far be- yorr<d Fere-en-Tardenois;" says the Echo de Paris. "A compilation of the results of 'Saturday show that 20 vil- lages and very important forests have beenrecapturedby us. It is be- lieved that the Germans will make a stand along the Vesle river." Le Journal says; 'We e' are dogging the enemy's steps, rendering his re- treat extremely painful. Our cavalry. has reached far beyond the points officially mentioned. Our aviators are increasing the severe losses' of the enemy. It is now possible to re- establish the famous Paris- Chalons line in the sector between Chateau - Thierry and Chalons. The Petit Parisien says:. We have advanced with ' magnificent ,speed. nearly eight kilometres along a front. of forty kilometres. Our troops everywhere are overwhelming the enmy."
