MONROE DOCTRINE
Is an Empty Pretension, Saws
Prof. Wagner of Germany.

T Berlin, March 3.-"The Monroe doc
|.trine is an empty pretension behind
which is neither energetic will nor ac-
tual power Thus Prof. Adolf Wag-
ner, the celebrated political economist
of Berlin University, begins his reply
to two questions submitted by a cor
spondenS-whether the Monroe doc
trine was in a moral sense as binding
as international law, and what action
seems dictated first in the interest of
Ethe German people and then in the in
Etterest of the European nations.
& .sScarcely could such doctrine be
forced upon a conquered people after
extraordinary Victories continues
The professor. 'sNo people and no great
ruler ever proclaimed such doctrine.
Neither England nor Russia, nor Ma
poleon at the height of his power ever
made similar pretension. But not
even the United States predominant
interests are behind this unheard-o of
assumption. South America is neither
geographically nor historically SO allied
with North America and the United
States as to justify such pretension,
even from North American stand
point"
Answering the second question, Prof.
Wagner says: 1t is only the divisions
of European politics and lack of in
sight into and recognition of the soli-
darity Of the interests of Middle, West
ern and Southern Europe, which hith-
erto has been and will remain the chief
seats Of human civilization, that eS-
plains why Europe, why Germany even
takes this empty pretension into con-
sideration. -
Baron Won Zedlitz und Neukirch, a
member Of the Prussian Diet and edi-
tor of the Berlin Post, wrote:
''The Monroe doctrine is from the
standpoint of international law non
binding monologue whose enforcement
is purely a question of force. Ger
many's interests, however, are SO lit
tie touched by the doctrine, at least
as interpreted in the Venezuelan in
cident, that we have no practical need
for opening the question.
Prof. Hans Won Delbrueck, Of Ber-
lin University, discussing Venezuela
in the Preussische Jahrbuecher, al
ludes to the tperfdious nature'' of
the American policy and advocates an
alliance between Great Britain and
Germany which," he says, would
be the strongest coalition in the

Descendants of PocaElontas.

In the February issue of The Twin
Territories there is very interesting
article relating to the descendants Of
Pocahontas. AS ought to be generally
known, this young daughter of Pow
haitian, after saving Capt. Smith from
the fury of her father, was baptized
and married John Rolfe, an English
man. By him she was taken
to England, where, as the account
states, "the wild flower, transplanted
from her native heath to the moisture
laden atmosphere of England, wilted
and died on March II, 1917, at Grave
send, England, in the nineteenth year
of her age-a mere girl, almost
child, at her DEATH
This child wife bore one son, Thom-
as, who was brought back and grew to
daughter WAC married Boiling, of
prominent English family, and a
granddaughter of this Boiling married
Randolph. and one of their sons was
the famous "John Randolph, of Roam
oke,'' and other members of that not
ed Virginia family. Through another
member of this same family descended
1uO1uoS CSASlSOU duO 1COOO1o
Lee. They were not Of the Pocahontas
stock, but were related by marriage
and descent to the daughter of old
King Powhattan..
And so we find that this "wild
hower'' of the Virginia forests became
the progenitor either by direct descent
or by intermarriages, of some of the
most famous people of state famous
for its great men. Probably there is
not another instance in American his
tory to match it. There have been
doubts and disputes as to whether
Pocahontas really saved the life of
Capt. Smith, but there is no room for
doubling the records of her marriage,
nor of her descendants. These at least
are:authentic history, and prove beyond
cavil that many proud name in Vir-
ginia is in some way descended from
the Indian girl whose name and histo
ry have filed many story of both fact
and fction.-Montgomery Advertiser.

A Good Thing.

German Syrup is the special prescrip-
ton of Dr.. A. Boschee, celebrated Ger
man physician, and is acknowledged to
be one of the most fortunate discoveries
in medicine. It quickly cures coughs,
colds and lung troubles of the severest
nature, removing, as it does, the cause of
the affection and leaving the parts in a
strong and healthy condition. II is not
an experimental medicine, but has stood
every case, which its rapidly increasing
sale every season confirms. Two million
bottles sold annually. Boschee's German
Syrup was introduced in the United States
in 1858, and is now sold in every town
and village in the civilized world. Three
doses will relieve any ordinary cough.

New York Cotton Exchanue.

New York, March 5.-There was an
activesand exciting opening in cotton
today. Apparently having rallied
heir forces over night, the bull
CLIQUE gave such vigorous support that
prices shot up seven to eleven points
Immediately following the call, hold
ing very strong for fifteen minutes,
when scattered realizing caused a set
back to $50 for May and 9.5S for
July. Covering was on a heavy scale.
There was also considerable buying
for room traders.
Business at the opening was attend
ed by considerable excitement. There
was very large attendance of brok-
ers and the galleries were crowded
with onlookers. The fluctuations in
the Liverpool market added to the
confusion here
After the first half hour of the ses-
sion the bears became more aggressive
and sold along the line. May was
forced down to 9. rs and July to 9. So.
This attack of the bear faction was
something of a surprise and disap-
pointment to outsiders because of the
strong bull support given at the open
ing.
During the greater part of the af-
ternoon the market was without spe
cial feature, but in the last half hour
the bull side renewed it's aggressive
tactics and stood we'll under the at
tacks of the shorts.
Most of the active options were we'll
supported, and according to reports
under the leadership of the bull clique.
The closing was steady at prices about
the best of the day and materially
better than Eat yesterdays close. The
days business approximated 800, 600
bales.

tensile strength of the five-eighths-inch
rope is very much greater than the ten
sile strength of the iron rod, and it has
this advantage, that it gives and takes
the expansion and contraction of heat
and cold better, and only needs one
buckle or coupling, and it is very much
more easy to put around. The round
silo is best in one respect, and that is be-
cause 1t has no corners.
The picture shows silo that any
body can build, who has the lumber.
1t is economical, strong and tight. l
have three of this kind, and speak
whereof l know One has been filed,
this is the thirteenth winter, and an
other one has been filled for nine win
ters. Anyone can build one of this sort
who can handle a level and saw, or use
a hammer and nails and a good thing
about them is that they can be set any
where and made to conform to the size
of the barn, if you want to put them
inside.
The picture shows clearly how the
silo is built. The foundation is below
frost, made of stones laid in cement
mortar. On this is placed sills of two
by six or two by eight. Matched pine
siding is stood up and braced by two
by eight or two by ten-inch scantling,
placed as shown. The corners are put
in on a bevel to avoid the square cor
ner, and also to allow of braces to
strengthen the silo.
A second thickness of siding should
be put on to break joints. Do not use
paper between the boards, as it will rot
out have silo built Of single boards
of six-inch matched pine The lumber
was as dry as I could get it, and put to-
gether as tight as possible, but found
after the first year that those boards
would shrink apart a little, and that
many places would never get tight
again. That is the danger of the single
board silo, and also the danger of the
poorly constructed round silo.

er dropping right onto the shoulder,

And here amongst the best and new

though there Is a tendency to wear
tight-fitting bodices, the lines of souple
elegance, which have been character.
istic of La Mode for so long, are still
preserved.
The waistband, for instance, shows
tendency towards tightness. It is
so much boned that it almost forms
corset in itself. and some of the
most charming early Victorian fichu
effects are enhanced by the addition
of beautifully fitted, pointed waist
bands.

Serpentlike draperies are now only

it be long or short, it has a most dis.
tingue air.
There are, as usual, a great many
after-season weddings coming off dur.
ing the next few weeks, and in view
of the veXation of spirit caused by the
effort to think Of something pretty and
original for the bridesmaids to wear
at time when fashions are somewhat
at standstill, | will describe the
lot fu hriH Ict
pictured. and which saw recently.
1t is of palest yellow mousseline de
sole. The bodice has a transparent
yoke of ecru-tinted lace, and a deep
gagged berthe edged with deep tuclks
and fastened in front with bunch of
russet brown velvet ribbon, which is
also used for the sash and to trim
the full elbow sleeves. The skirt is
gathered on the hips, and gauged and
tucked from the knees to the hem.
The picture hat accompanying this
dress is of brown beaver with the new
jampot crown. Each of the brides.
maids should carry a marquise stick
with a bouquet of chrysanthemums
tied to it with the palest yellow
streamers, similar to the one shown
in the sketch. 1t is very pretty
fashion, that q dressing the brides,
maids in the color of the flowers they
are to carry, and the chrysanthemum
scheme just described is quite ideal
for an autumn wedding, for it is light
and dainty without looking unseasoN
able or chilly.
For a brides dress, white mousse
line de sole is very suitable ma.
terial. To have the wedding dress
made on somewhat the same lines of
the bridesmaids frocks has been one OF
the unwritten laws OF the past season,
and it is very good rule, too, for It
prevents the wedding cortege looking
"patchy."

CORN FOR THE CALVES.
After Fifteen Years of Experience
Writer Declares 1t to Be the
Very Best Food.

everyone knows how to feed calves,
but many do not know just what IS
best to feed. Ask me, and l will say
"shelled corn" When do you begin p"
l begin when the calf is three days old.
Feed it just a few kernels at first and
gradually increase to pint by the time
the calf is six weeks old. They chew
it all up. l never knew a calf to pass
a whole grain. I never feed calf
more than two quarts of milk at a
feeding. If I am raising calves for
mixers I do not feed them enough to
make them fat. | have experiments
with all manner of ground foods, bu,
none of them equal shelled corn. My
calves hair is sleek and glossy; they
are growing rapidly; they run and
frisk about and are always ready to
eat corn. My neighbor. who persists
in feeding his calves all the milk they
can drink, besides a couple of quarts of
ground feed, has funny looking calves.
They are little, pot-gutted things; hair
standing on end. They have the scours
nearly all the time; lie around half
, asleep. ] wouldn't trade one of mine
for dozen of his In short, if you
want good salves feed them corn; il
you want poor, worthless animals. feed
them something else.-I. H Watt, in

FALL CARE OF cows.
When Pastures Are Getting Bare IL
Pays to Haul Little Fodder
to the Field.

In the feeding of dairy cows two sea-
sons are recognized by the average
dairyman. These are the winter feed
ing season and the summer season, In
the former case the animals are entire
ly dependent upon what grain and rod
der are allotted to them, there being no
opportunity for grazing afforded. Inc
very opposite of this is true during the
summer season, the animals being ex-
pected to hunt their own living. The
transition from one season to another
frequently causes a falling off in the
milk supply. This is particularly true
in the fall when the animals are left TO
shift for themselves after the nights be-
come cold. The fact is lost sight of
that a dairy animal is of rather delicate
constitution, and on this account can
not withstand the hardships which the
beef animal can bear.
1t is an exceedingly good plan to al
low cows to have shelter at night after
the first of October. If they are put
in the stable or in sheds and fed small
grain ration night and morning, to-
gether with little fodder, they will lib
orally respond to such treatment at
milking time, and will more than pay
for the food fed in this way, and the la
Dor involved in caring for them. While
/ the days remain warm they are just
as we'll out in the pasture, as there is
| no food better adapted for milk pro-
| duction than good grass. Grass is also
/ economical, and for this reason one
should endeavor to extend the grazing
season just as long as possible. If pas,
| lures are getting a little bare, it will
/ generally pay to haul little fodder to
! the field. This may be cornfodder
sorghum, Kaffir corn, millet or any
crops of this character. 1t is never
a good plan to turn COWS onto frosted
grass after having kept them in the
stable during the night, it being much
better to keep them housed until the
grass is approaching dryness.-Midlanc
