Philadelphia, April 7.—The firemen,
deckhands and bridgemen of two of
the four ferryboats of the Pennsylva

Belgian Relief Ship Is
Sunk by German U-Boat
By Associated Press t
New York, April 7. A cablegram
received here by the Belgian Belief
Commission to-day stated that the
commission's steamship Anna Fos
tenes, which left New York March 3,
via Halifax, with a $350,000 cargo of
foodstuffs, for Rotterdam, had been
sunk. The message read: "Trevler
and Anna Fostcnes sunk off Holland."
The loss of the Trevier, a Belgian
relief ship, torpedoed without warn
ing, and of the Feistein, also a relief
ship, presumably by a mine, was an
nounced several days ago. The possi
bility was suggested by the commission
that the message alluded to the Feis
tein. owing to the similarity of names.
The Anna Fostenes was without
wireless equipment and her crew,
numbering fifty men, included no
Americans. The vessel flew the Nor
wegian flag.

TUBERCULOSIS IN
SYMPTOMS AND TRANSMISSION
Differs in Minor Details From
Other Forms of This Dis
ease, But it Should Be
Quarantined
How the Germs Are Spread;
Tests to Prove the Exis
tence of the Disease
By DR. B. F. KAFPP
Poultry Investigator and Pathologist
for the I'nitcd Suites Department
of Agriculture.
Fowls are lieir to almost as many
diseases as are humans. It is not
generally known that they contract
tuberculosis, but -they do. Fortun
ately, it is an uncommon disease. It
is, however, a highly contagious ail
ment, and for that reason poultry
raisers should get acquainted with it's
symptoms, and learn how to prevent
its spread.
' In 1885 a German physician discov
ered that tuberculosis in humans was
due to a germ. Later a similar dis
ease in cattle was found to be due io
a germ closely resembling the first,
i and further that the disease of cattle
was transmitted to hogs and chickens
i which followed them in the barn
j yards. The germ or bacillus of fowl
tuberculosis is a slender rod-haped
germ, which can be stained and ob
served under the microscope. It must
be magnified at least 1,000 times <o
|be visible to the eye. This acid-fast
LIGHT BRAHMAS
The Light Brahma, sometimes
called the "king of poultry," though
of Asiatic origin, is the first product
of the American fancier's skill. Those
fowls were first brought to America
from India about 184 6, and seven
years later specimens of the Light
Brahmas were exported to Englui'd,
the first of them going to the late I
Queen Victoria. Shortly after they
: became very popular on both sides of
the Atlantic. Their great size,
strength and vigor, and exceptionally
fine qualities as table poultry en
deared them to fanciers hnd commer
cial poultrypien alike.
There are several strains of Light

In speaking of the development of

been so extensive and complete that
many of the things done have attract
ed attention from other cities. In
fact other cities have followed our
lead in public improvements. Harris
burg is most fortunate in its loca

| germ causes a disease in fowls and
possibly other birds, from Which can
■ |be isolated by laboratory methods, a
I similar organism to that producing
,! tuberculosis in persons and cattle. It
j differs in minor details, and is con
i sidered as being another type from i
' the other two.
How Fowls Contract the tierm
i Like hogs, fowls often follow the
trail of cattle in the feed lot, picking
. up undigested corn and other grains,
jlf the cattle are afflicted with tuber-
Jculosis, the birds are likely to receive
these virulent germs and contract the
disease. Hogs are known to contract
tuberculosis in the same way, nnd |
; later distribute the disease to others.l
| Naturally, fowls afflicted with tu- j
tlbercular ulcers give off germs of the]
disease, and as the habit of fowls is I
i to pick up their food from the ground, j
j it is an easy matter for the disease to I
; spread throughout a tlock.
: [ Fortunately, tuberculosis is not a I
f: very common disease, and for thnt|
■ | reason very few breeders are familiar j
11 with it. It is not generally known
■jthat a bird may be atl'licted with tu
' ( berculosis and yet show no outward
i, signs of the disease. If such a bird
Ij is shipped in a crate or kept in a pen,
; which crate or pen is used for other
j birds, the new birds are likely to con
[ tract the disease.
Carrion llirds Spread Disease
Birds which liavtf died of the dis
j ease, if their bodies are carelessly
thrown around the premises, are a
: constant menace to the other fowls, i
i J Crows, buzzards and other carrion
! birds are apt to feast upon these
bodies and still further add to the
danger. Some States have laws for
bidding the killing of buzzards, which
should be repealed'. It is a proven
fact that buzzards feast upon animals
dead of contagious diseases and then
Brahmas In the New England States
which have been exceptionally well
developed as layers, and almost the
first trap-nested 200-egg hen was a

These fowls do exceedingly well .n
confinement or on range. A small
I fence, four feet high, w II keep them
confined. In some localities they are
especially desirable as capons. The
females weigh from 8 to 10 pounds,
and the males from 10 to 12 pounds,
though many exceed this weight.
Some breeders claim that It takes
about eighteen months for the male
to attain fuH development.

MOTHER RKCRIITS TWO
Savannah, April 7. That there
are American mothers with patriotism
as fervent and unselfish as that of the
Koman Gracchi was demonstrated at
the navy recruiting station, when Mrs.
C. J. McKemie, of West Point, led her
18-year-old son into the office and
dedicated him to his country's service
in whatever post of duty he may be
called. Besides her own boy, Francis
Pierson McKemie, she also brought
with her his friend and companion, Al
vln Lovelace, 17 years old. Both lads
passed splendid medical examinations
and are now regularly enlisted in the
navy.
time to time there have been sug
gestions made to clear the river of
dangerous rocks as far north as the
Rockville bridge. At least two chan
nels should be cut to Rockville. This
would furnish a fine run for motor
boats. Every person who was for
tunate enough to participate In or sec
the Klpona Carnival last fall will be
heartily in favor of such a move
ment."
The demand for houses for rent is
emphasized:
"There has been an ever-increasing
demand for small houses at moderate
prices. The situation really shows a
shortage of rental houses of all prices.
This, of course, is easily accounted
for by the growth In population from
within and especially by the many
people who are taking advantage of
Harrlsburg's central location and its
many desirable features as a home
town."
A special article entitled. "Bellevue
Park and the High Cost of Living,"
written by J. Horace McFarland, sec
retary of the Municipal League, is
used as a preface to the journal,
which is profusely illustrated with
etchings of properties which are for
rent and for sale.
Copies of Facts and Figures were
distributed to-day. It was printed by
the Telegraph Printing Company.
I fly long distances, spreading the dis
ease either through their droppings or
\ omitus, or by alighting on other
premises. Instead of penalizing the
killing of buzzards, those States
should offer a bounty for them. The
moral of this tale is to be careful and
deeply bury all carcasses, preferably
in iime, or better still, if possible,
burn them immediately they are
found. Not only the bodies of birds
afflicted with contagious diseases
should be burned or buried, but all
animal matter should be so treated.
I Many poultry breeders have butt
one idea of breeding—tliat of niat-f
lug males and females, regardlesst
of type, strain, variety, prollticness!
or relationship. Sooner or latcrl
audi mating* prove of little value*
to their owner. In next wcek'st

lacies are discussed.
