GERMANY AND THE WAR.
AMBASSADOR WHITE SAYS THERE HAVE
BEEN 40 NEGOTIATIONS RELA-
TIVE TO SPANISH COLONIES

Berlin. .Iulv 23-"So far as the United States
Embassy here is concerned nothing is known OF
any negotiations communications whatever
between the United States and German Govern
ments relative TO any Spanish Colonies said
Andrew D. White. the United States Ambassa-
dor I'm an interview with the correspondent here
Of The Associated Press.
| BESIDES" continued Mr.. White. there has
! been no question at any time between this En-
bassy and the German Foreign Office relative to
! the German desire for Coaling station In the
Philippines nor for possession OF any of the ISL
ands there. Neither has there been any discus
sion of Germany's wish to secure any other
( Spanish colonies. To express such wishes, which
we are unaware Of would he. at the present
time above all. too premature There have been
/ important negotiations begun between the
United states and Germany. but 1t is too early
to talk about that now"
From another source the correspondent hears
that the negotiations to which Mr.. White refers
relate TO the tariff. but he has been unable to
obtain an Official confirmation Of this at the
German Foreign Office
Emperor William is kept continually Informed
Of all events connected with the war between
Spain and the United States and Of the develop
ments at Washington. Madrid and Berlin. Reg
ular reports are sent TO him 10 points on the
Norwegian coast where he makes stops while on
his tour OF Norway. A large batch Of dispatches
containing the latest news OF the war was sent
this week Ivy special courier 10 DiCcrmullon
The tone Of the German press this week is less
friendly to the United States than the week be
fore, and tde latest developments in tho war
have been in many cases commented upon In
rather sarcastic spirit. The Liberal press,
though has adopted. generally speaking. fair
and more neutral comment.
The "Vosssche Zeitung" printed an editorial
in which # freely admitted iha; il wished the
United States speedy success. and referred to
the 'unbroken friendship existing for so many
years between the two countries.

At the Michigan dairymen's conven-
ton, Robert Gibbons said many dairy
men had made botch of breeding by
the alternate use OF Holstein and Jersey

duction OF these bloods had been both a
blessing and 4 curse; all grade male
calves should be exterminsted.
The secret Of the failures OF we'll
equipped poultry plants, where capital
IL plentiful, lies in the fact that the
owners think to make a profit by hiring
some man (of course q poultryman pre-
ferred) TO run the establishment and
mske IL succeed for them. This is not
an impossible thing to do, but one OF the
first requisites ia the pOultryman, or in
other words, the ability. First-clsss
poultrymen out Of employment are as
scarce as hens with teeth. Again, .

who knows nothing about raising poul-

the name Of that Institution by eliminat-

Is as il should be. A college founded
