Definite Details of Firing on U.

Eastern Waters.
Washington.—President Wilson has
not framed his opinion on the firing
upon a launch of the cruiser Tennes
see by Turkish forts at Smyrna and
will not determine his course until in
formed of all details. Officials close
to the president stated today that
until contrary information is received
the administration assumed the inci
dent will be satifactorlly explained by
Turkey. But it also was stated au
thoritatively that the United States
would not take a passive attitude If a
deliberate affront to the American
flag were shown.
Wants Full Information.
President Wilson takes the position
that full information should be re
ceived before any action is taken and
that premature discussion of the inci
dent is out of place. He is eager to
get details of the affair as soon as
possible and although he went golfing
today AVhite House officials were in
constant touch with Secretary Daniels
and Acting Secretary Lansing and
were prepared to inform the president

Washington.—While commanders of
the cruisers Tennessee and North Car

messages sent them after the Tennes
see's launch was fired upon in Smyrna
harbor, administration officials today
still awaited definite details of the
Incident. The complete story. It was

A business egotist is one who believes

Business egotists have no use for ad

There is a vast difference between an

The self confident man believes in his

He believes business is just as good as

Daniels’ orders that they take no
action in Turkish waters without in

Captain Decker in his first message
probably sent all the details of the ad

announced today after completing their
elaborate wireless observations In
which French scientists participated.
The observations, made through the

WAR IMPORTANCE,
CAPE COD CANAL
Washington.—Strategic importance
of the new Cape Cod Canal as a link
in the nation's coast defense system
was emphasized today in the navy
department’s announcement of the
passage of two submarines and a gun
boat through the waterway. “The
important part that submarines are
playing in the European war,” says
the department’s statement, “ is em
phasizing their importance in our own
plans of national defense and this ca
nal which permits them to pass freely
between the waters of Long Island
Sound and Cape Cod Bay becomes a
strategic feature that could hardly be
over-estimated.
“Not only submarines, hut destroy
ers and light vessels of all kinds could
freely use it without exposure in time
of war to attack by an enemy's
forces."

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA. GA.
WAR SUMMARY TODAY
Germany’s effort to crush the great armies of Russia has met with a
check, according to statements emoating from Russian sources. Earlier in
the week both Berlin and PetVograd reported that the Russian center was
falling back before the German advance over snow-covered fields of Po
land, but it is now asserted at the Russian capital that this movement has
been halted. It is Intimated in the same Quarters that the latest turn in the
campaign is likely to have ‘‘decisive consequences” for the enemy.
The official Russian report of the capture of a battery at Lodz is inter
preted as significant, suggesting a Russian flanking movement. Gorge rein
forcements, it is said, nave been thrown in by the Russians, From Berlin how
ever, came no suggestion of a reserve. The Germans, it is said there, were
making steady progress tint only in the center, but in the north, driving back
the Russians from the frontier of East Prussia. Unofficial advices from
the west are to the effect that Grrma n reinforcements are still being rushed
to the eastern battlefields.
In Belgium the fighting still drags in a desultory manner. Along the Vser
attempts at military activities have been virtually abandoned, largely on ac
count of the weather. At Brussels, the temperature is below freezing, and
an unusually severe winter is feared. The fall of snow has ceased, but the
abatement of the storm has brought no relief from the hardships of the sol
diers in the cold and wet.
Fervia has broken the silence she maintained for several days to tfleny
Austrian claims to i great victory. The Serv ian legation " at Athens, while
admitting that the Austrians compelled a retreat from Yel.ievo, states that the
Servians withdrew in good order without any serious fighting and that thev
are now occupying advantageous positions, ready to engage the advancing
Austrians.
The khedive of Egypt. Abbas Hiluli. who was reported several days ago to
have cast his lot with the Sultan of Turkey, his spiritual leader, is said in
Paris to have joined the Turkish forces in Palestine, preparatory to leading
an invasion ot‘ Egypt.
Human Health and the Foot
and Mouth Cattle Disease
Washington, D. C. The anxiety that
has been expressed in several quart
ers in regard to the effect upon human
nealth of the present outbreak of the
foot-and-mouth disease is regarded by
government authorities as somewhat
exaggerated. Tho most common fear
is that the milk supply might become
contaminated, but in view of the pre
cautions that the local authorities in
the infected areas are very generally
taking, there is comparatively little
danger of this. Milk from infected
farms is not permitted to he shipped
at all. The only danger is. therefore,
that before the disease lias manifested
itself some irifected milk might reach
the market. For this reason, experts
in the United States Department of
Agriculture recommend pasteurization,
as a matter of fact, however, pasteu
rization is recommended by the depart
ment anyway for all milk that is not
very high grade and from tuberculin
tested cows.
It has been dm .onstrated by experi
ments which have been made in Den-
Mark and Germany that pasteuriza
tion will serve as a safeguard against,
contagion from the foot-and-mouth
disease just as readily as it does
against typhoid fever, but in any event
it must be thoroughly done -the milk
must be heated to 145 degrees Fahren
heit and held at this temperature for
30 minutes.
In this country the foot-and-mouth
disease has been so rare that there are
few recorded cases of its transmission
to human beings. In 1902 a. few cases
were reported in New England, and in
1908 in a few instances eruptions were
found in the mouths of children which
were believed to have been caused by
contaminated milk. In both of these
outbreaks, the sale of milk was stop
ped as soon as the disease was found

among the cattle. As long, therefore,
as the disease can be confined by rigid
quarantine to certain specified areas,
(lie danger from this source is very
small. Should the pestilence spread
all over this oountrv and become as
general as it has been at various times
in largo areas in Europe, tho prob
lem would become more serious. Un
der any circumstances, however, pas
teurization would he an efficient rem
edy. Where pasteurization is not pos
sible and where there is any reason
to suspect that the disease may exist,
the precaution of boiling milk might

pasteurizing milk at home, however,
are contained in Circular 127 which
will he sent free on application to tha
United States Department of Agri
culture.
f, ow» affected with the malignant
form of the disease lose practically all
of their milk. In mild cases, however,
the decrease rnav he from one-third
to one-half of the usual yield. The
appearance of the milk also changes. It
becomes thinner, bluish, and poor In
fat. When the udder is affected, the
milk frequently contains coagulated
fibrin and blood, so that a considerable
sediment forms, while the cream Is
thin and of a dirty color. These
changes, however, occur only when the
disease is in an advanced stage and, as
a matter of fact, the disease is not
permitted to pass into an advneed at go,
as any stricken animal is at once
slaughtered.
Men who come in contact with dis
eased animals may also become in
fected. In adult human beings the
contagion causes such symptoms as
sore mouths, painful swallowing, fever,
and occasional eruptions on the hands,
finger tips. etc. While causing con
siderable discomfort, however, the dis
ease is rarely serious. Where it is
very prevalent among animals, some
authorities believe that it is fairly
general among human beings, but that
the disturbances it causes are usually
so slight that they are not brought, to
the attention of the family physician.
There is, however, a very good rea
son for everyone giving the diseased
animals as wide a berth as possible,
namely, that otherwise they may easily
carry the disease to perfectly healthy
herds. Federal inspectors engaged in
the work of eradicating the pestilence
ar thoroughly equipped with rubber
coats, hats, boots and gloves, which
may he completely disinfected; and
others who lack this equipment are
strongly urged not to allow their curi
osity to induce them to become a men
ace to their own and their neighbors’
property.
The disease, in short, is dangerous
because of the loss that It occasions to
property, and not because of its effects
upon the health of mankind. At pres
ent all infected herds are being slaugh
tered as soon as they are discovered,
the carcasses burled, and the premiss
thoroughly disinfected. Until all dan
ger of infection has been removed In
this way. the local authorities quaran
tine the milk
Those who wish additional precau
tions are recommended to use pasteu
rized milk, but as has already been
said, this recommendation holds true
whether or not there is any fear of the
foot-and-mouth disease.
I WEEK HUY
BEING DISCUSSED
Officials of Board of Education
Said to Favor Only Week For
Christmas. School Children
and Teachers Want Usual
Time.
%
The question of having only one
week holiday for the public schools of
Augusta and Richmond Gounty in
stead of the usual two weeks, is being
discussed by officials of the board of
education. It is argued that tho chil
dren have been having too many hol
idays throughout the school year and
that the Christmas holiday of two
weeks is entirely too long.
The teachers and the children will
no doubt be arrayed on one side for
tho two weeks holiday and the offi
cials of the hoard on the other for
one week holiday.
In pursuance of a recent policy in
augurated by the board of education
there will be no holiday this year on
Friday after Thanksgiving.

Great Anxiety For Safety ctf
Vessels. Eight Bodies and

Salte St. M arie, Mich.—Anxiety as
to the fate of the steamer C. F. Curtis
and the lumber barge S. K. Marvin,
which had not been heard from since •
they left Maraga, Mich, in the face of
a heavy northwestern gale Wednesday
morning wac unabated early today.
Eight bodies and quantities of wreck

rais yesterday told the fate of the
lumber laden barge Annie M. Peter
son and caused grave apprehension
that the Curtis and Marvin likewise
had gone down in the storm which had
swept Lake Superior the last three
days.
Eight Bodies.
The Peterson carried a crew of
seven and the findng of eight bodies
led to the belief that one or both of
the other boats had foundered. Ufa
savers in power boats were searching
the Lake Shore for wreckage hut no
report, had reached here that the frag
ments already found came from any
ship other than the Peterson. Two
of the bodies found were those of wo
men.
Driven Ashore.
The storm created havoc among
lake shipping in vicinity of Cheboy
gen, three freight steamers being
driven ashore. Wrecking tugs at the
latest rep'orts had been unable to re
lca.no any of them. The crews of these
three steamers remained on board.
The steamer .!. ,T. H. Brown ran
