CATTLE PLAGUE. 
Cattle plague appears to prevail still in Russia in several 
Governments bordering on Austria and Germany, and in 
those adjoining the Black and Baltic Seas. 
The district of Tagarnog is said to be free from cattle 
plague, and that there is a decrease of the disease in the 
district of Berdianski. 
In Austria-Hungary cattle plague exists in the provinces 
of the Bukowina, Galicia, Dalmatia, Hungary, Bosnia, and 
in the Military Frontier. 
The cattle plague which manifested itself in Germany at the 
end of November last appears not to be entirely stamped out. 
In the beginning of this month it was reported that no new out¬ 
breaks of the disease had taken place; also that the following 
places had been declared free from infection, namely— 
Stallupohnen, in the Government of Gumbinnen; at Wil- 
kensdorf, circle of Koenigsberg, in the Government of Frank- 
fort-on-the-Oder, and in the Neu Marh Ocznitz, circle of 
East Sternberg; in the Government of Gumbinnen cattle 
plague is considered to be extinguished. 
Since the first appearance of the disease up to the 7tli of 
February the number of animals which have died or been 
slaughtered was as follows:—In the Government of Gum¬ 
binnen, 206 cattle ; in Government of Frankfort-on-the- 
Oder, 1936 cattle, 1204 sheep, and 384 goats; in the 
Government of Potsdam, 160 cattle, 13 sheep, and 10 
goats ; and in the Governmentof Merseburg, 169 cattle, and 
9 goats. 
On the 7th of February four localities in the Government 
of Frankfort-on-the-Oder, one in Potsdam, and five in the 
Government of Merseburg, were still regarded as infected. 
Later information states that the cattle plague may now be 
looked on as having disappeared from the province of 
Potsdam.
