London, Nov. 20.—Forces are gath edng for decisive events in Flanders According to unofficial dispatches from the front the Germans have been forced to quit Lille and the British are now said to be in the town. There is no official confirmation of this reported success, or of the report that the allies have occupied Douai, Tbe big guns are at it again, con dieting a terrific bombardment of the allies’ positions from the German lines The French and British guns are re plying in kind, but with less vigor. I nder cover of the military activity both armies are moving jroops with great rapidity and in great numbers.

Airmen Busy All Day. Aerial scoutx of both the OtTiiuens and allies were pxtrernely a: live all day according m unofficial reports from the front The midnight, official statement from Bordeaux was barren of news from the front, but the afternoon communique related a remarkable story of the valor oi the half-savage French Algerians in repelling a furious attack by the Germans in the vicinity of Tracy-le-Val The allies took possession of Tracy-le-Val several days ago and the Ger mans Tuesday returne<rto the attack with the intention of recapturing the town So terrific was their initial onslaught. that it carried them up to and o,ver the first line of intrenchments. sfatight that it carried them up to and fort, they advanced rapidly on the village Turcos Win Hand to-Hand. The Algerian contingents, which had been called from the reserve to support the first line trenches, when it was seen the French troops were about to be overwhelmed, passed the retiring French troops on the road. The latter were almost exhausted from the vigor of the fighting. The Algerians were fresh and their officers insisted that they be permitted to meet the second blow of the attackers. As the French fell back, fighting all the way, suddenly there was uncovered to the view o- the oncoming Germans a solid front of turbaned Turcos. They fell on the Germans with blood-chill-ing yells and cut them up with lead and steel. ATte- an hour's hand-to-hand fighting the fury of the Turcos’ onslaught began to tell and the Germans beat a disordered retreat. The Algerians pressed their advantage with renewed energy and drove the enemy well beyond the outer trenches, regaining every foot of the ground that had been lost. French Embrace Algerians. The French regulars had re-formed jind were in support by this time, but did not re-enter the ’fight, leaving it all to the .valiant Turcos, whom they rushed th embrace in the trenches when the invaders finally were repulsed. The Algerian soldier is the hero of the day. Epidemic of Typhoid at Lille. Boulogne, Nov. 20.—1 tis learn*ed i',' • . ta

that' a serious epidemic of typhoid fever has broken out among the Ger- j man troops who are in occupation of i Lille and the surrounding districts. In I the last two days no fewer than 5,000 ! men have entered the hospitals, which are filled to overflowing. The Germans have evacuated Lille, but the French have not entered the town yet. a sanitary corps first having been sent to take the necssary measures of precaution. The epidemic is already spreading among the Germans occupying Roubaix and Tourcoing. The factories in these towns have not been touched as the owners, through the intervention of the American consul, were able to save their property by paying to the invaders $10,000,000. All the available space in the factory buildings is utilized for temporary hospitals which are now filled with wounded.

Alleged Car Thieves Held. Laporte.—For several weeks Lake Shore railroad men have suspected that freight cars were being robbed here, and special officers, with local officers, raided the homes of two men living in East Laporte. and obtained a wagon load of goods said to have been stolen, including bolts of silk and dress goods, flour in bags, canned goods, clothing, shoes, rolls of tar paper and blankets, amounting in value to aoout five hundred dollars. Much of the plunder had been sewed in bed ticks and deposited in bed springs, and the canned goods had been buried in the ground. The men, Dominick Laplac and Nick Rieta. Italians. asserted they had purchased the goods. They in jail. Life Convict Is Returned. Laporte.—Twice given the opportunity to make good and each time failing, John Cline, aged forty, was returned to the Michigan City prison to spend the remainder of his life. Cline is a life convict, and was twice paroled because of belief in his innocence. Drink each time proved his undoing, and Governor Ralston Saturday revoked his liberty, and Cline returned, declaring he was now reconciled to die behind the walls. Mayor J- E. Bell Recovering. French Lick. —Mayor Joseph E. Bell of Indianapolis, who has been ill for several days of tonsilltis, was said to be rapidly recovering. Mr. Bell became ill while on a hunting trip and has been under treatment of a specialist called from Indianapolis. He expects to remain here several days for a needed rest. ',. Sqapected at Union Cltv. Union City.—That W. J. Skinner, the man arrested at Muncie charged with impersonating a federal officer, (has been attempting to spread the foot-and-mouth disease, is the belief expressed by local persons with whom he came in contact during his atay here.

Foot and Mouth Disease. Synonyms. Aphthous fever: Aptha 1 pizootica, Eczema Epizootica. An acute infectious disease of the lower animals but especially of ruminants, characterised by a slight lever and the eruption of vesicles, or ballae on the skin and mucosae, and usually those of the mouth, feet and teats. Symptoms. There is a period ot incubation shorter in hot than in cold weather and varying from 36 hours to 6 days (exceptionally 15 days). It is altogether probable that prolonged incubation is really delayed infection, the virus having been attached to the feet for some before it entered the tissues. Cattle usually show the disease two days after exposure in a public marker, building or conveyance. There is first moderate hyperthermia (102 to 103 degress F.), indicated by the clinical thermometer hetore there is any outward sign of ill health. There may be erection ot the hair, tremors or distinct shivering. dryness and heat of the muzzle, redness and even tenderness of the buccal mucosa and teats, saliva drivels from the mouth or may show as a frothy mass at the commissures or margins of the lips, and there may be grinding of the teeth and a peculiar smacking of the tongue and hard palate which may be heard at a considerable distance. There are greatly impaired appetite and rumination. Tenderness of the feet is shown by halting or lameness and by the extension backward and shaking of the hind feet in turn. With the appearance of the erup--1 ion, usually on the second daAr of illness, the fever as a rule moderates, and on examination of the mouth bullae of l-3d to 1 inch in diameter may be found on the inside ot the lips, and cheeks, or on the palate and tongue, with, in many cases, a congested areola, but showing no nodule as in variola. These bullae may extend to the muzzle, pituitary membrane or pharynx. They burst very soon after their formation, exposing a red base of inflamed corium, with a clearly rounded margin, or. at first, with shreds of the torn epithelial covering. The salivation now becomes more profuse, glairy and even bloody, and there is more active movement of the tongue. When the bullae have been confluent there are formed extensive red patches denuded of epithelium, and the suffering causes a complete but temporary dysphagia. The renewal of the epithelium, however, takes place promptly and may be well advanced in fbur or five days. Upon the teats the bullae appear at about the same time but are usually smaller than the buccal, and do not show the thickened base of cow pox. They burst, in 36 to 48 hours sinless broken earlier by the hands of the milker, forming sores comparable to those of the mouth, which are liable to be kept up by (he necessary manipulations in milking. Upon the feet the eruption shows especially in the interdigital space, at first as vesicles smaller than those of the mouth and teats, leaving erosions and ulcers which extend under the adjacent horn, or upward on the front and back of the pastern. From exposure to mud and filth these are liable to be kept up even longer than those .of the mouth and teats, and under neglect the entire hoof is often shed. In sheep and swine the disease may be localized almost exclusively in the feet. Sheep will even w r alk on the knees. In young animals and those fed on the milk, the eruption may take place on the intestinal mucosa with violent congestion, diarrhoea and a fatal issue. Aggravated cases may show gangrenous mammitis or abortions. i

While there are seasons of special pathogenic severity, yet as a rule, the foot and mouth disease is a mild affection and unless neglected, the patients entirely recover in about fifteen days. Until further notice permission is hereby given to resume shredding and the marketing live poultry and hauling feed for live stock in the townships of Newton, Marion,. Hanging Grove, Jordan, Carpenter and Milroy. This prder to take effect on Friday, November 20t!h, 1914. DR. J, HANSSON, Deputy County Health Officer.
