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.

Washington.—Actual difference in longitude between the official meri dians of Paris and Washington is five hours, seventeen minutes and 36.658 seconds, naval observatory officials announced today after completing their elaborate wireless observations In which French scientists participated. The observations, made through the wireless station at Arlington and Eif fel Tower, constitute the first direct determination of longitudinal differ ences between Washington and Eu rope.

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."

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 THE WISE DRY GOODS CO’S.

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 he advisable. Simple directions for 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. “SOME ONE WENT TO SLEEP.’* Los Angeles, Calif. -The Atchison.

Date THREE FIERCE GALES ALONG LAKES Great Anxiety For Safety ctf Vessels. Eight Bodies and Wreckage Washed Ashore 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 age washed ashore near Grand Ma 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 ashore on River Point, Mud Dake, last night in a, blindng snow storm. The vessel was reported to be. in no dan ger and tugs have been sent to her as sistance. _____ LEGAL NOTICES _ STATE OF GEORGIA, RICHMOND COUNTY— All persons having demands against the Estate of Thomas P.
