RUSSIANS AND GERMANS
FOR GREAT BATTLE
PREPARATIONS ARE MAKING
ON EACH SIDE WHICH ATTRACTS
ATTENTION.
RUSSIANS PONS ONWARD
Russians Seemed Determined to Attack
Danzig*?The German Army
Fails to Better Itself in the West
Flanders Fight.
While the battle in West Flanders
continues, to attract public attention
last week because of the desperate
character of the fighting, the number
of men engaged and the territory at
stake, military men looked on East
Prussia as the center of gravity of
the war.
In the latter field a tremendous bat
tie was developing. The Russians
were pushing vigorously a great enveloping
movement. They were engaged
with the Germans along a wide
curve of 150 miles from Stalluponen.
in the northeast, through Goldap and
Kruglanken, which is well within the
tangle of lakes, down to Soldau, in
the southwest.
Germans in Retreat.
Military observers say the German5apparently
have checked their retreat
in Poland and are countre attack
ing. They say, however, that the Rus
sians are not to be turned from their
plan, which is believed to be an at
tack on Danzig. They argue that the
Germans either must allow East
Prussia to he overrun a second time
or bring up reinforcements, and that
they hardly can weaken their army 1
along the Polish frontier, for that
would leave Posen and Silesia open
to invasion. The alios, naturally, are
hoping an effort will be made to relieve
East Prussia at a sacrifice to '
the German arms in Belgium and
France.
In any fighting in their own coun- l
try the Germans will have the advantage
over the Russians, as they have
a network of strategic railways to
move their troops quickly and they
use more motors than their opponents
Militiary men are watching operations ;
in this region with the deepest interest.
In West Flanders the Germans did
not seem to have improved their po- <
sition to a marked extend.
In fact an unofficial report from *he
north of France said they agair have j
lost Dixmude, which they took last
Tuesday; that their attempts to break
the British resistance around
Ypres failed, and that their attar1* in ,
the vicinity of LaBcsse met with no 1
greater success. i
The German official report again
said the German attacks were pro- j
gressing and records the capture of ]
prisoners! Oq the other hand, . the ] i
French official communication decWr- i
ed all German attacks had been rem'
sed and that an advance had been
made bv the allies nearly everywhere. (
Vienna admitts the Austrians had
evacuated Eastern Galicia, but as an
offset to this, said the Servian resistance
hud boon broken and the Austrians
had crossed the Danube, driving
the Servians back into their own country.
Vienna also reports that the Austrians
turned riuir attention to the
Montenegrins and endeavoring :0 force
them buck. According to a M oniongrin
report they failed. Accounts are
so contradictory from this part of the
world that the only thing clear is that
the Austria,ns virtually cleared their
country of the enemy
Ent! ? i ;s beginning: to learn the
cost of war. A white paper issued
shows that the government intends to
ask parliament for $1,125,000,000,
which, with the $500,000,000
voted at the last session, is expected
to be Great Britain's bill for the fiscal
year ending March 31. Of this sum,
however, a small parts has been loaned
to Belgium and Servia and some
will be used to assist the dominions
and the allies to make their financial
arrangements.
A portion of the money will be required
for the additional million men
to be enlisted, who will bring the Eng
lish regular army up to 2,186,000.
These figures do not include the territorials,
who number 000,000..
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh.
That Contain Mercury..
as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except
on prescriptions from reputable physicians,
as the damage they will do is
ten fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them, Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney
& Co.,Toledo, Ohio, contains no mercury,
and is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. In buying

Austrians Fleeing.
Russia has driven the Austrians out
of the towns of Tarno, Jaslo and
Krosno in Galicia and the Austrians
probably now are retreating towards
the Carpathian mountains.
"The enemy has marched into Tarnow,
Jaslo and Krosno," is the way
Vienna officially announced this reverse
to her arms. Petrograd merely
announces the taking of Krosno with
heavy losses to the Austrian rear
guard. The Russian official report
says nothing of the other two towns.

DISEASE OF CATTLE :
WILL ATTACK HUMANS
FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE COM
MUN1CABLE BUT NOT DANGEROUS.
BE CAREFULITH MILK
And the Department Advises Humans
to Keep Away From the Infected
Animals if They Would Escape
This Disease.
Foot and mouth disease now raging:
among cattle in 14 States is communicable
to humans, the Department of
Agriculture announced last week, but
its effect rarely is serious. The department
urged, however, that humans
keep away from diseased cattle
to avoid spreading the infection, and
recommended the use of pasteurized
milk.
The statement said in part:
<4<The anxiety that has been expressed
in several quarters in regard
to the effect upon human health of
the present out break of the foot and
mouth disease is regarded by govern
ment autnonties as somewhat exaggcrated.
The most common fear is
that the milk supply might become
contaminated, but in view of the precautions
that local authorities in the
infected areas are very generality tak
ing there is comparatively little danger
of this. The milk from the infected
farms is not permitted to be shipped
at all. The only danger is, therefore,
that before the disease had manifested
itself some infected milk
might reach the market . For this
reason, experts in the Department of
Agriculture recommend pasteurization
"It has been demonstrated by experiments
which have been made in
Denmark and Germany that pasteurization
will serve as a safeguard
against contagion from the foot and
mouth disease just as readily as it
iloes against typhoid fever, but in any
event it must be thoroughly done.
"In this country the foot and mouth
disease has been so rare that there are
few recorded cases of its transmission
to human beings. As long as the
disease can be confined by rigid quarantine
to certain specified areas, the
danger from this source is very small.
Should thi* oil
J ^ VMM Ull Vf CI
this country and become as general as
it has been at various times in large
areas in Europe the problem would
become more serious. Under any circumstances,
however, pasteurization
would be an efficient remedy. Where
pasteurization is not possible and
where there is any reason to suspect
that the disease may exist this precaution
of boiling milk might be advisable.
"Men who come in contact with diseased
animals may also become infected.
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.
"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
present all infected herds are being
slaughtered as soon as they are discovered,
the carcasses buried, and the
premises thoroughly disinfected. Until
all danger of infection has been removed
in this way, the local authorif

Red Cross Campaign.
Columbia, S. C., Nov. 16?The Red
Cross Seal compaign in South Carolina
has taken on new impetus, owing
to the fact that, as announced last
week, a special Anti-tuberculosis Conference
for the South is to be held in
Atlanta, beginning November 30th.
Vital statistics for the whole of South
Carolina are available, but from such
figures as are at hand is shown a
great need for Anti-tuberculosis work
throughout the State. The National
Association in New York has just
made public, through the State Commission,
its figures for South Carolina
From a partial church census it was
found that the morality race from tuberculosis
is thirteen and one-half per
cent. This is about three per cent
higher than the average for the United
States. From this fact both
the approaching Conference in I
Atlanta and the 1914 campaign
for selling Red
Cross Seals become doubly important.
The Commission announces that up to
the present seventy agents have been
secured for 1914.
