The distribution of the natlon'a forces on a wide front was advised by Wotherspoon because a wide choice of landing places was open to an enemy. The first line of the mobile force of half a million, he said, would have thoroughly trained men, equipped with supplies and provisions for six months. These would be re inforced by a second line of 300.00 men drawn from the recognized mi litia and similarly provisioned.

For three weeks the hospitals here have been with out cotton to dress the wounds of the dying soldiers Doctors and nurses have been forced to use small bags of thread as a aubstltute. Americans ought to, In the name of humanity, send cotton to Austria. Vast quantities of absorbent cotton can be acnt to Vienna If American cltliena will each buy a small box and mall it at parcel post rates. If the packages are addressed to the Red Cross, Vienna, and mark- ed "Watte fur dlo Verwundette" (cotton for the wounded) they will renoh the hospital within three weeks.

No lcs than four different Instances of rabid coyotes have been reported, one man and a lnUf dozen dogs have been bitten und 111 some cases, according to reports. even horses have been attacked. Mack GUllland, former Janitor of the court house and brother of ex- Judge T. P. GUllland, is the man who was bitten and he Is now taking treat ment at the Pilot Rock hospital aa a precaution against Infection. The se rum for the treatment had to he shipped from San Francisco. A week or more ago GUllland was doing the chores In the early morn ing at the K. G. Warner ranch near Nye when a coyote aneaked up behind him and bit him ln the leg. He kick ed at the animal and tried to kill It but It escaped. Proceeding on to the ranch of J. N. Burgess it attacked two sheep dogs there and when the herd er attempted to drive It away It at tacked him. He secured his gun anJ killed It stop when It saw him. On the con trary It made for him and he was forced to take .refuge In his saddle while the coyote pursued the dog round and round the horse. Btevlns finally shot It. Ira Hughes, who has a wood-cutting contract near Meacham, was In the city yesterday and reported that on Monday three mad coyotes came right Into Meacham and attacked the dogs of Mrs. Ben Marlln Jut ln front of her hotel. One of the dogs was so badly torn that It will die and one of the coyotes was killed by Mr. Hughes. As a result of a battle with a coy ote, the Airedale dog of Albert Gil liam in the south end of the county developed rabloa and had to be shot. District Attorney Fred Stelwer used the dog on a hunting trip during the early part of September and it was on this hunt that tho dog fought anl killed the coyote. Three weeks later the dog. hitherto a very quiet animal, went mad, racing all over the neigh borhood and attacking cow and horses. A bullet finally stopped its career. District Game Warden Averlll haa received reports from various see Arthur Blovlna, a camptender, Is tlon of the rabid coyotes and believes another who reports a very narrow escape.
