New York.-Formal announcement ii was made here of the formation of an O organization of first reserves, to be M known as the American Legion and to 01 be composed of former Army, Navy L and militia men, which will better in- b sure the nation's preparedness in C case of war. Capt. Gordan Johnston, aide-de-camp to Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, made the announcement on be half of a group of Army and Navy men acting in an unofficial capacity P with civilians in promoting the move- a ment. Captain Johnston said it was t4 .planned to establish within a short P time a first reserve of between 250,- a 000 and 300,0O0 former Army and C Navy militiamen for instant call in case of emergency. t] Major General Wood has given the plan his unofficial endorsement and former President Roosevelt has writ ten a letter approving the proposal. Numerous other public men have en dorsed the project, and a statement by the promoters says that former Secretaries of War and of the Navy have agreed to act in an advisory I capacity. Asserting that he and his four sons will me members of the Legion, c Cor 1 Roosevelt in a letter to the rs, says that in the event of wa.a tends to ask Congress for per s0 :gse a division of cay alry. Mr. Roosevft's letter in part says: I , "I and my four sons 1 become members.

OUTBREAK OF CATTLE DISEASE. In One Heard' Near Richmend 125 Af- C fected.-Governor Afarmed. 3 Richmond, Vi-Fol6wfiig the dis- 3 covery of 125 fully developed cases of 0 foot and mouth disease in a herd of 300 dairy cattle on a farm in HenricO county, seven miles north of this city Gov. Henry C. Stewart issued a. quar antine -proclamation and announced that he would go before the Circuit Co. -a, ofceand apply for an injun1c- C tion against ei'ranroads..an steamt- 8 ship lines in Virginia to en or fu11 complaince with his recent procla- ' mation requiring that no cattle or ( cattle feed be moved without the ] proper Federal certificates. Governor g Stuart also ordered that wtthin a radius of five miles around the farm where the outbreak 'has occurred there be no .mo'vement of cattle or cattle feed. Special deputies have been worn in by the sheriff of Henrico -nty and a virtual blockade has beput into ef fect. be city has suspended its is ion of dairies to prey ins rynngee herd . er. Gov. Stuart takes an alarming view of the situation. Russian Offensive Along Whole Front London.-The Russian offensive operations apear at the present time to extend along their whole front an indication that they have brought strong reinforcements into the fild. They have checked the German ad vance in North Poland, where the Germans are reported in retreat and the recapture of Przasnysz after se vere fighting, has given them an ex cellent pivotal point from which to' carry on further operations. All the Petrograd correspondents refer to the capture of a large number of Germans as a new phase of the war, and credit it to a lack of offlers among the German e.rmies and the large number of young untrained men drafted into them. The Russian offensive extends to what is now known as the Bzura Rawka front, where they successfully opposed Field Marshal von Hinden burg's attempt to advance on Warsaw. There has been heavy fighting in Western Galicia and in the Car pathians, but no notable changes in the situation. In Eastern Galicia the] Russians rebjort another repulse for the Austrians who again have lost a number of prsioners. With Russia it would seem to be a case of keeping up the supply of am munition which the opening of the Dardanelles would greatly assist. Cattle Fever Quarantine.
