This action is taken owing to the
occurrences on the S.S. Manchester

shipment of cattle to Great Britain,
when, owing to heavy storms, which
partially disabled the vessel, a con-
siderable number of cattle suffered
severe hardship, and finally had to be
jettisoned. This new order becomes'
effective May 1, and is intended to
provide a means for the humane
