JOSEPH TO ACT MONDAY Other States Expected to Fol low Suit in Short Order. - HOW TO TREAT AILMENT IKrom a Staff Correspondent.) Washington, Dec. 1. (Special Tel egram.) Careful and systematic ob servation of the Nebraska cattle found last week in the Kansas City stock yards suffering with sore mouths has failed to reveal certain typical symptoms of foot and mouth disease, according to the Bureau of Animal Industry, United States De partment of Agriculture. The spe cialists therefore are of the opinion that the disease is vesicular stoma titis, a mouth ailment which ordinar ily affects horses and sometimes af fects cattle. The most striking symp tom of this disease is the occurrence of blisters and sores on the tongue and other portions of the mouth. Not of Serious Character. This disease, while undoubtedly contagious, is not of great economic importance, as animals ordinarily re cover from it in eight to ten days. Vesicular stomatitis is known in Europe and South America and has been found occasionally in the United States. The present outbreak, how ever, is the most extensive yet noted in this country. The specialists of the department, therefore, are advising state officials in whose territory the disease is found to impose local quar antines to prevent its spread. They advise all owners and handlers of horses and cattle, particularly livery men, managers of stock yards and breeders, to separate sick from well animals, to clean up and disinfect their premises, and to wash out the mouths of sick animals with a weak solution of permanganate of potash or picric acid. What Experts Find. The belief of the specialists that the malady is not foot and mouth disease is based upon the fact that persistent nheervatinn of sirk animals and ex periments in inoculating animals with the infection at-Washington failed to reveal certain typical symptoms which would be expected in any case : ilar in appearance to the mouth con ditions produced Dy loot and mouth disease, but in none of the sick ani mals examined has there been found any soreness ol the teet, whioh is a common symptom of foot and mouth disease. Moreover many horses have this particular ailment, and horses have not been observed to contract foot and mouth disease in any of the previous outbreaks in the United States. Hundreds of hogs exposed to the disease and in close association with the sick animals show no signs of the malady, and this is regarded as significant because during the re cent outbreaks of foot and mouth dis ease hogs 'were as susceptible to foot and mouth disease as were cattle. Sheep Not Affected. Exposed sheep also fail to shov the disease, yet those cloven foot ani mals are also susceptible to foot and mouth infection. This bears out the diagnosis, since vesicular stomatitis affects only horses and cattle and not hogs and sheep. Finally, the low percentage of ani mals infected in each of the herds, only a small proportion out of some hundreds, would indicate that this ail ment is not the highly contagious foot and mouth disease which once it is introduced into a herd quickly affects practically 100 per cent of the cattle and hogs. Where vesicular stomatitis is pres ent among cattle and horses, immedi ate steps should be taken to control (Continued un Page Four, Column Six.) The Weather For Nebraska Fair.

"We have an expression in Spanish which says, 'It is only the first plume from the cock,'" he added. "We will have enough forces opposing Villa within the next week to crush the arch-bandit and his following." "People on the border need not fear an attack from Villa bandits," Mr. Garcia continued. "We will have 1,500 men and a large number of field pieces in Juarez at once, drawing gar rison trOODS from other narta rtf th tate, and we will have 4,500 men be tween Chihuahua City and Juarez to prevent any movement Villa may at tempt."

Entente Is Landing Troops at Athens London, Dec. 1. A detachment of entente troops disembarked at Pira eus, the port of Athens, at 3 o'clock this morning, according to a wireless dispatch received today from Athens. Cable messages dispatched from Athens late yesterday showed that preparations were being made to re sist seizure of the arms and also that a French transport had arrived at Pi raeus to land troops if trouble should develop. British bluejackets were or dered to co-operate and the admiral gave warning that prominent person ages taking part in any resistance would be arrested. The Greek government has given guarantees that order will be main tained, but it is feared the calling up of reservists will have the opposite effect. Admiral Dtf Fournet insisted that sixty-four mountain guns be delivered today. Further time has been given for the delivery of other guns and war material. Grain Embargo on Lines East of Chicago Probable Chicago, Dec. 1. Congestion of railway facilities between Chicago and the Atlantic seaboard became more acute today.

The New York Central has already put an embargo into effect. V In the grain trade here the difficul ties of the railways was attributed chiefly to the curtailment of export grain shipments and to the conse quent clogging of elevators and side track storage. ALLIES LIKELY TO GRANT PASS TO TARNOWSKI Strong Impression Prevails in London That Britain Will Reconsider Refusal of Safe Conduct. STATEMENT FROM Question Presents Two En tirely Different Phases, As serts English Minister. GLAD TO OBLIGE THE U. S. i-onoon, Dec. 1. A strong impres sion prevails here that Great Britain will grant the requfst from Washing ton for reconsideration of the re fusal of a safe conduct for Count Adam . Jarnowski von Tarnow, who was recently appointed Atistro-Hun-garian ambassador to the L"nited States. Although stating that he had npt yet seen the Washington request. Lord Robert Cecil, minister of war trade in discussing the question with the Associated Press correspondent, said: "It must be kept' in mind that the question presents two entirely dis tinct phases. The first is that of bel ligerents to whom we could not ex tend favors under any circumstances. We can discuss and arrange for the exchange of military and civilian prisoners and other similar inatters with the central powers, but, on ac count of their actions in this war, we cannot be expected to grant them a single favor. The Other Phase. "The other phase concerns friendly neutrals, like the United States, to whom we are ready to grant any fa vor which does not violate our im perative necessities. "To grant safe conduct to Count Tarnowski, for which there are pre- oU,!-.,,- fM '.I ., . r -vy,,a, may lail wllllin ine latter-f pnase, dui u is a difficult question about which it would be dangerous to prophesy." The American request has been presented directly to Viscount Grey, secretary of state for foreign affairs. Early action is expected, but some time may elapse before it is taken, as the French government must be consulted. Had Sent Allies Note. It became known on November 29 that the United States had sent notes to Great Britain and France request ing reconsideration by those govern ments of their refusal to issue a safe conduct through their blockade lin-Q for Count.

Yester day afternoon Stover went to the home of Mrs. Cockrell, mother of his wife. Thirteenth street and Fort Crook boulevard, drank carbolic acid and died almost instantly. Ever since Stover's wife left him, he had been morose and downhearted. He had not worked regularly, but had put in a day now and then at the shops here in the city.

Six Americans Are Lost. EVIDENCE IS INCOMPLETE Washington, Dec. 1. The German submarine commander who sunk the British horse ship Marina wilh the loss of six Americans has reported to his government that he took the ves sel for a transport. Germany has ask ed the United States for information of the status of the ship and is ready to offer amends if the Marina was en titled to immunity. The case was discussed today at a conference between Count von Berns torff, the German ambassador, and Secretary Lansing. Germany in a communication in reply to the inqui ries of the United States has asked for any information in the possession of this government that will lead to a settlement. The conference between the ambas sador and secretary of state, which was brief, developed that neither seemed to be in possession of such complete information as would be essential to a determination of case. The conference was 'asked by Count Bernstorff, the for May Have Been Armed. It is understood that if the United States can inform Germany that the Marina was not in the British trans port service an"d"was entitled to" the immunity of a peaceful merchant ship, the Berlin government is ready to ac knowledge an error and make offers of settlement Satisfactory to the United States. President Wilson has been looking after the case personally and will pass upon any understanding reached by the ambassador and the secretary of state. When the Marina was sunk it was stated from London that there was some ground for believing it had been previously connected with the British transport service. Later dispatches saia tne-snip had been armed with gun astern, manned by two British naval gunners, before it started on the voyage on which it was destroyed. Carries Horse Cargo. The Marina had carried a cargo of horses to England from Newport News, Va., and was returning when two submarines lying in wait sunk it in a stormy sea from which survivors were rescued after many hours ot hardship, In its last note to Germany on the submarine question the United Slates threatened to break off diplomatic re lations unless the campaign of de naval ffimnm htrtr it ctaripH , th struction without warning was aban doned. Another note declared that I offers of reparation and expressions of regret would not be sufficient, but did not actually close the door to ac cepting an admission of error and in demnity for damage in any specific case where the American government might choose to deal with it in that way. Secretary Lansing went to the White House this afternoon to dis cuss the German note on the Marina case with President Wilson. He re fused to make any announcement.

P. Morgan & Co. announced today that no attempt would be made to sell British and French treasury notes in the United States. The announcement was con tinued in the following statement: "We have been instructed by the British and Fjench governments to withdraw their treasury bills from sale. "We have accordingly expressed I to those institutions and investors whicli had already placed orders with .1 . . . us ior tnese securities tne wish to lie released from the obligations to de liver and they have been good enough to accede. "This action is because, as explained by the British chancellor of the ex chequer and by the French minister of finance, these governments desire to show every regard to the federal reserve board, a governmental body of which the sccrctcry of the treasury and the comptroller of currency are ex-oflicio members. "We may add that the sale in lim ited amount of these treasury bills pay able in dollars in New York have "ever been an essential part of the al lied government's financial plans, hut have for some time been under consid eration with a view to furuishing a credit medium that would accommo date the American banking demands for an instrument of short maturity and of such limited volume that the government could always undertake to lay down gold in New York suffi cient to meet the matured hills. "It was believed further that these bills would have furnished at the end of the war an excellent measure of protection to the American financial situation, inasmuch as these steadily maturing obligations of the foreign governments would have tended to prevent heavy drifts of gold from this market." An informal statement was made by member of the Morgan company ! that no other financial plans have been formulated in place of the ones aban doned.

A journal is kept. Dr. John son used to write it after the dav's proceedings were over. He simply recorded who spoke and which side thev were on. "I have not much hope, though that 1 would receive much support if I started to make a fight for smaller galleries and no record, so I won t start it. But there is hope that the present method of taking roll calls will he abolished. It is archaic and a time waster." Xhe speaker also favors reducing the house from 4.15 to 300 members and holding it to that number. Minority Leader Mann today ex pressed the view and offered figures to substantiate it that under no cir- cumstances could the democrats have a majority in the next house, but that there was a chance for the repub licans to have in members, He further said that he was not worry ing about the speakership and thought it would bq much more fun to remain in his present position.

TEUTONIC GRIP UPON ROMANIA STILLUNSHAKEN Armies of Von Mackensen and Von Falkenhayn Are Almost Within Gunshot of the Capital. RUSS BEGIN A DIVERSION Petrograd Reports Capture of Whole Range of Heights on Moldavia Frontier. SMALL GAIN, SAYS BERLIN London. Dec. I. The Cologne Ga zette publishes an unconfirmed report that Russian troops have arrived at Bucharest. The Teutonic grip on Koumania re mains unshaken and at last reports was tightening with three converg ing forces continuing unchecked their advance toward Bucharest. Despite tenacious resistance by the Roumanians, which appears to have increased as Bucharest was neared by the armies of Field Marshal von Mackensen and General von Falken hayn, the invaders are now almost within gunshot of its capital. They are nearest their objective on the southwest where Tzomana, sixteen miles distan', has been reached. From the west they have driven to within forty miles, reaching Gtaviatziotzu. i On the northwest they have broken the Roumanian lines, permitting of a : new influx of Austro-German troops 1 by way of Torzburg pass and Cam' pulling. RusaianB on Big Offensive. The Russians meanwhile have been attacking heavily all along the fron tier of Moldavia, the Roumanian prov- ; ince which projects northward be tween Transylvania and Bessarabia, ' in an evident attempt to create a di version in Roumania's favor. Today Petrograd reports a pronounced suc cess in its offensive, declaring the whole range of heights along the frontier south of Kirlibaba has been taken by the Russians. Whether this success will have any immediate effect on the operations of the Teutonic armies engaged in the main attack on the Romanians )ias not yet been indicated. Apparently it would require a considerable pene tration of Transylvanian territory by' the Russians to affect the southern campaign. . Serious Crisis 'in Greece.
