WASHINGTON, May 21. The

devoted a two hour meeting today
to a general discussion of the
world court question with results
which several members predicted
would . lead to an agreement
among advocates of the proposals
before the committee and assure
a teport to the senate before ad
journment of the session.
, Belief was expressed by some
senators that agreement could be
reached npon ' the Harding-Cool

the present cbnrt with' the so-call
ed "Hnghea safeguards" included
not as reservations but as definite
amendments to the court statute,
to be specifically ratified by the
signatories to the protocol,
The draff .along, the lines of the
Harding-Coolidge plan, introduced
by Senator Swanson, , democrat.
Virginia, was brought incidentally
before the committee which gave
especial attention; to .the section
by the Virginia senator providing
that , -American : reservations, or
amendments must be agreed to
formally by the other adherents
There was said. to be practically
unanimous agreement that the
United States could ,not agree to
any court plan which would hind

Veterinarian -Tells Rotarians
of Ravages of Foot and
Mouth Disease'
California : business Interests
have suffered a 825,000,000 loss
as a result of the foot and mouth
disease, , according to an estimate
made y Dr. ,W. H. Ly tie, 4 state
veterinarian, who spoke at. the Ro
tary club luncheon Wednesday. In
addition It has cost the state about
$2,000,000 for Indemnities and
another $1,500,000 to combat the
epidemic, he said. The ..Standard
Oil company reported that, gaso
line t sales had dropped fully 3 0
per cent' during the epidemic.
"The foot and mouth disease is
one of the . "ketchine.sf known,"
Dr. Lytle said. "Instances are
known of it having been ' carried
40 miles by an automobile tire.
Only 40 per cent of the infections
are traced. At present the disease
is active in nine counties In Cali
fornia while it is under control in
eix other counties. No new out
breaks have been reported during
the last five days.
Had a meat market in Oakland
inspected bogs purchased from one
man the disease might have been
checked at the starting point. Dr.
Lytle said, and It was prevalent
for nearly two months before the
country became alarmed. Since
the disease started there " have
been slaughtered a total of 80,000
head of livestock, of vhich 50,000
were dairy cattle and herds, z o.
000 hogs and about 10,000 sheep
and goats. - The mortality is not
highi being about 3 orr4 per cent
Following the report of an out
break the - ranch or property is
placed under strict quarantine for
three months, and no one allowed
to leave. All. animals are killed
and the barns fumigated. After
two months have passed test ani
mals are placed on the ranch, gen
erally hogs, for these are rooting
animals' and dig up the earth,
where the disease may be dor-
mant. ''"- '-'
5 "Precautions have .been taken
that have never been found neces
sary In the United States prior to
this time." Dr. Lytle said. "In
many instances these might be un
necessary but no chances are be
ing taken.' It has been found that
90per cent of the disease is car
ried by persons. Sunlight will kill
the infection in about 24 hours,
and in fthe case of tourists, the
chief danger lies in packed cloth
ing that, has not been exposed to
the sun and air."
Some idea as to the amount ot
work necessary to bury the dead
animals was 'pointed out by the
Speaker, who said that In -one field
jrpoO, animals were burled In a
trench nearly a mile long. 10 feet
deep and ,14 feet wide In Kern
