CHICAGO, Nov. 6. A large part of tha cattle receiving and meat packing Indus try of the country, long centered in Chi cago, tonight temporarily was shifted to other western cities, and the Chicago Union stock yards, for the first time since Its organization in 1S65, was closed down for nine days. In consequence of the prevalence ot hoof and mouth disease among cattle. The quarantine against the stock yards and all other cattle pens within therstato went Into effect at mid night. The mate's action supplements the federal quarantine- against Illinois. No moro cattle, sheep and hogs are "to lie received In Chicago until November In, when business Is to be resumed after the yards have been thoroughly disin fected and pronounced free from tho dis ease. Killers to Other titles. The packers tonight sent to Kansas City and their other western brunches 1,000 killers and butchers to kill and dress tho animals which ordinarily would have been sent to Chicago. Thoy announced that the producta from their western plant would be sufficient to supply the market without any change In prices. An optimistic view waa taken, of the situation here. All the packers said they had enough stock on hand to run their plants for three or four days, and none of them would entirely shut down. A. Q. Leonard, president of the stock yards, said: ', "By the middle of next week every ani mal In the yards will have been killed, and the thousands of pens and. miles of water troughs will have been cleaned and disinfected. I feel confident full opera tions might be resumed by next Thurs day, butas the cleanup la to be thorough and, M such a vital point the health of our cattle throughout the country Is at stake's few day'1 other delay won't mat ter." ' The Only Apprehension. "Our only apprehension is thut the dis ease might spread In other states which the government might quarantlno and we would be unable to get cattle even wnen the Illinois quarantine Is lifted. However, the drastic action of the fed eral government has the full co-operation of cattlemen everywhere." Disinfecting la proceeding night and day at the stock yards.

Nov. .-What has now be come another well defined stage of the battle In Vest Flandera, that Is to say, a second concerted attempt of the German army to blast its way through to the sea, was flaming and roaring from Nleusort to the French frontier today without definite result so far on either fide. Therea near the roast formerly held by the extreme Oennan right and from hlch the Invrders were forced by the allies after many days of hard fighting, is held only by dead, wounded and dying, the Inundation having made the vlclnlt:' uninhabitable for the living and having prevented an advance of the British, French and Belgian allies. Hundreds of Oermans left behind" In the retreat deubtleas will perish, as many were marooned like driftwood on an American lowland In lime of flood. Thousands more on both sides are yet to verlsh In the struggle now progressing, tho outcome of which would decide whether the Germans are going to reach the French coast this winter. An official dispatch from the British army headquarters at the front today pays a tribute to the way the Invaders are meeting with death and speculates, as heretofore, whether this Is due to patriotism o'r to Iron-clad discipline. Whatever the explanation. Colonel K. D. Swlnton of the British army Intelligence department, who writes these eye-witness accounts, says: "The German troops have won. our re spect for tho way In which they have advanced."

New Naval Battle Off Peru of British GermansJapanese BAN FRANCISCO, Nov. .-Prlvate ad vices today to prominent British shipping agents here from their correspondents In Valparaiso report that an engagement Is now taking place off Tauyos, Peru, be tween British, German and Japanese war ships. Press dlspaaohes telling of a pre vious German-British naval engagement are confirmed lo the messages. No details of the engagement were given. Closing reading of the cable mes sage seemed to Indicate that Tauyos was not the name of a town off whlct. the engagement was in progress, but a code word which had been left blank of mean ing in the firm's code book. An Inquiry to the firm's home office at London for a translation of Yauyos had brought no answer late today. This translation was substantiated by the fact that the Peruvian town of Yau yos. first thought to have been Intended, is soma distance Inlond and that It did not seem likely the German squadron would have had time to reach the Peru vlsn coast In the short time since the first engagement. The firm bellved the batle was taking place somewhere off the coast of Crlle. EQUAL SUFFRAGE LOSES OUT IN SOUTH DAKOTA PIERRB, 8. D Nov.

Recrudescence of ac tivity U indicated by today's of ficial French statement, which mentioned severe encounters at various points bcUwrffn Flanders and the Swiss border. Meanwhile fighting Is proceed ing actively by land and sea In the new war gone created by Tur key's entrance Into the conflict, and a British warship Is said to have met with disaster in the at tack on the Dardanelles. a The battle In Belgium has re sulted in no decisive advantages on either side. The flercost en counters renter about a sharp bend in the German line, form ing a triangle with the northern batie at Dlxuiude, the southern at Ypres and the apex at Routers. Reports from Drltlsh and French sources make the claim that the German attack Is weak ening and that the allies now have a reasonable hope of driving back their foes to the interior of Itel guim and thus compelling a gen eral retirement along the rest of the line. German advices, however, of fer no basis for such a conclusion. Apparently Germans are bring ing in heavy reinforcements, in th determination of Increasing Instead of diminishing the fury of their attack. Along the rest of the line the offensive generally remains with tha Germans. The French state ment says that in the region of the Argonne forest, in the Woevre district, and further east, around Nancy, there have been heavy en gagements, in some instances lead ing to. bayonet encounters. No Imporant victories are claimed by the French, although minor ad vances are said to have been main tained at various points. In the east the Russians claim t decisive victory over the Aus trlans. They have recaptured the town of Jaroslau, near the long Deputed fortress of Prsemysl, Petrograd reports, capturing 6,000 Austrian prisoners. In Poland the Germans "have employed the same tactics as in France by pushing forward their troops as rapidly as possible, and meanwhile fortifying a strong line to the rear, to which they might fall back. They have given way lo these selected positions and the Russians now face the same prob lem which confronted the French and Britloh in France. Russia is prosecuting vigor ously the war against Turkey. Petrograd advices are that Rus sian forces have entered Armenia by two routes and that several Turkish regiments have been captured.
