SPRING WEATHER
 DEATH TO CHICKS
NEGROES JUST NATURALLY HAVE TO HAVE SPRING CHICKENS
 WHEN THE WEATHER GETS WARM AND THE MOON SHINES.

This balmy spring weather with a moon set in clear sky is death of the feather ed tribe. It starts desires in the head of the negro population which ends up by the roost of the nearest hen house being raided that night.
 Just as naturally as the night follows the day the negro hunts the chicken roost about this time of the year, and all along through the spring and summer.
 When warm weather comes baseball sap rises in the fan, but a different sap rises in the negro One of the saps leads to West End park and the other leads to a chicken roost and then the city hotel. where Warden Mack Rittenberry is the host, and followed up by a little visit to Judge Feagin.
 Just about this time every year the negroes get busy and the complaints come to the office of Chief Wier The one that came last night was pitiful in the ex- tr sme. Walter Forbes, who lives at 26O9 Fifth avenue, and is very proud of his chickens. Last night that sap lead a negro to his hen house. The first trip was very successful. and so MT. Negro makes a second, which was equally as successful. The roost was almost de- populated.

GERMAN PRAISES
 GENIUS OF OYAMA
BARON voN cAYL SAYS THE Ac- ADVERTISEMENTS OF THE PAST FEW DAYS HAVE BEEN ALMOST PHENOMENAL

Berlin, March 1O-Lieut Gen. Baron von Gayl, Count von waldersee's second in command in the China expedition at a meeting of the German Asiatic society tonight expressed boundless admiration of Japanese military genius. His remarks were called out by paper on ''The Yel- low Danger in which the writer had pointed out Germanys precarious situa- tion in China if the Japanese should form a reapproaehment with China, and re- organize the Chinese army on Japanese
 lines.
 What that island of people have ac- complshed in the last few days, said General von Gayl. merits the highest as- tonshment. It was absolutely a phenom- enal achievement, considering the fear less, brave opponent that the Japanese army brought to this pass. The leadership was that of genius and words fail for the bravery and devotion of the troops
 Referring to fears that China will now engage Japanese military instructors, General von Gayl said:
 I know not where they can get better ones than among the officers who cap tured Mukden."
