NEGRO SCHOOLS
OPEN VERY WELL

The colored schools of the city
opened Monday with very fiattering
number in attendance. There were
1873 boys and 1876 girls, total enroll
ment Of 1874 on the opening day.
The main address was made by
Prof. R. L. Harris, superintendent of
the city schools. Speeches were also
made by DR.. G. O. Hunter, Rev. E. M.
Smith, Prof. ]. W. Johnson and Isaac
Love. Their remarks were inter-
spersed with music.
OF interest to the negroes of the
city will be the announcement that R.
G. Johnson, Jr., a pupil of the school
of last year, stood recently the exam
ination for railway mail clerk and
passed it very satisfactorily. He is
the second graduate of the school to
pass this examination, the other be-

principal of the school.

let alone for the British empire. All
we women have
been fighting for and treasure would
disappear in the event of a German
victory. The Germans are playing
the part of savages, overriding every
principle of humanity and morality,
and taking us back to the manners
and methods of the dark ages.
Although we militant women are
martial women, we do not believe in
war as a principle. The Germans do.
But we think that when a country has
great possessions and great RESPONSE
bilities it ought to be strong enough
to defend those possessions and full
fill those responsibilities. The only
way to deal with a nation like the
Germans is to be able to compel
peace 1t is not now merely a ques-
ton of getting every Englishman,
Scotsman, Irishman and Welshman
into the fighting ranks, but of raising
the temper of the people as a whole
to instil thoroughly into them the
fact that we must win"

repeatedly demonstrated its prefer
ence for Austrian rule, the campaign
for liberating the Servian brothers
from the Austrian yoke has been kept
up with frequent outbursts of anti
Austrian clamor In Belgrade. To this
clamor Russia, always Jealous OF Aus
tria, has lent her secret and some
times her open support
The annexation of Bosnia Here
govina by Austria in 1909 produced q
wild demand in Servia for immediate
war to liberate the Bosnian brothers
from Austrian rule. At that time,
however, Russia was not ready for &C.
ton against Austria, so the clamor
spent itself in torrid speeches and
fervid press declarations.
Occupied AdrIatlc Ports.
Pashitch was premier of Servia in
1912, at the outbreak Of the Balkan
war. He saw an opportunity to block
Austria's long-sought road to the
Aegean sea. The first objective points
of the Servian armies in the first war
were the ports Of the Adriatic, In
what is now Albania. These, with the
help Of Montenegro. Servia occupied
in the first stages of the struggle.
At this stage. however, Pashitch's
calculations we're upset by Austria
Acting in conjunction with Italy,
which also had pretensions to the
country Inhabited by the aboriginal
stock Of the Balkan peninsula, the
Austrian government succeeded In in.
ducing Europe to order Seryia, Greece
and Montenegro out of the Adriatic
territory occupied by them, and set
aside this region as an independent
state, to be called Albania.
ServIans Nursed Their Wrath.
The negotiations which Pashitch
conducted in this phase of the Balkan
struggle were protracted and delicate,
but eventually the Austro-Italian de-
mand was carried out, and the Ser.
VANS nursed their wrath
For the success of his defiant atti
tude toward Austria, Pashitch depend
ed almost entirely upon Russia. II
was realized clearly by General Put
mix, the Servian chief of staff, that re-
sistance to Austria upon the field OF
battle would be unthinkable, SO far
as an ultimate triumph for Servian
arms is concerned.
In the course of the past score OF
years Servia has been conducting an
active agitation among the Slavic
population of southern Austria, and
Pashitch undoubtedly counts upon in.
ternal disorders in the rear Of an ad.
vancing Austrian army to embarrass
the enemy in a campaign into Servia
or the success Of this plan there is
grave doubt, however, as the Catholic

doubled vituperativeness and noisy
rancor.
This agitation, 1t has been pointed
out by Berchtold, was the direct cause
of the tragedy at Sarajevo, when the
archduke and his morganatic wife fell
by bullets fred by a Servian. The
Austrian minister of foreign affairs
demonstrated In the judicial inquiry
that followed the crime, that Servian
officials, civil and military, had been
involved In the events that led to the
assassination.
Deemed Time for Action.
The moment for action had come.
Berchtold surveyed the international
horizon.
He observed that Russia was in
volved In big strike which had rev.
olutionary tinge.
That France was In turmoil of po-
litical uncertainty.
That Great Britain was facing an
internal CONFUSION as a result Of the
Ulster situation.
The Austrian ultimatum to Servia,
demanding an apology for Servia's
part In the tragedy of Sarajevo and a
suppression of the anti-Austrian agi-
tation in Belgrade, followed promptly
in the midst of the preoccupation Of
the triple entente.
Berchtold realizes more clearly than
anybody else that he has challenged
the entire Slav world, with the ex-
ception of Bulgaria; that his quarrel
is not with Servia, but with Russia,
which has stood back of Servia in her
attacks upon Austria.
NlkoIa Pashtch, servlan Premier.
Nikola Pashitch, premier and min
lister of foreign affairs of Servia, has
twice before been the dominant figure
in servian politics in the course of his
40 years in the public affairs Of his
country. His policy always has been
bitterly hostile to Austria Hungary,
and the present crisis in the relations
Of the two countries is largely the out
come of his provocative attitude.
Pashitch throughout his career has
conducted a vigorous fight for the
economic freedom of Servia from Aus
tria. by means Of railway tariffs and
inspection regulations on the frontier
of Austria, Servia's natural road to
the markets of western Europe, the
Austrian government has been able to
control Servian trade in pigs and pouI.
try the staple products of Servia.
CIamor Against Austria,
But the chief grievance of the Ser
VANS has been the continued DONNA
ton Of Austria-Hungary over a large
across the frontier which
the Servians maintain is of Serb
blood. Although a considerable part
of this population has contested the
claims of the Servian jingoes and has

If dairy farmer were told that he
could roll silver dollars down a hill
and then pick Up two dollars for ev-
cry one he rolled down, and this state
ment were verified by some of his
neighbors and hundreds Of other dairy
farmers in the country, that farmer
would stay up nights to roll the
dollars. But when told that he could
double the profits by the use of the
silo he becomes very Indifferent and
keeps en- in the same old rut, feeding
dry feed. wasting nearly half of his
corn crop and doing lot of unneces-
sary work.
In these days OF close competition,
dairymen should be ready to take ad-
vantage of every opportunity to re-
duce the cost of production, and it
will be found that it is easier, If the
proper methods are used, to do that
than TO raise the selling price of the
dairy products. The results are the
same, large net profit
In the corn plant about 40 per cent
of the feeding value is in the stalk,
and GO per cent in the ear. When
the ear alone is fed, nearly half of
the corn crop Is wasted.
When the stalks are fed, at least
half Of them remain uneaten, while If
stored In the silo the loss is almost
nothing.
Highly sensitive dairy COWS resent
any sudden or violent change in feed,
and will show 1t by decreased milk
flow. The change from fall pasture
to dry feed is always followed by
shrinkage in the milk.
In changing from the pasture to the
silage. the change is not SO great, and
often the COWS increase the flow of
milk when started on silage. Several
dairymen have recently made the
statement that the increased profits
paid for the silo the first year.
Silage is not complete ration for
a dairy COW Silage is high in carbo-
hydrates, and some concentrates or
roughage with q high protein content
should be fed with it., such as wheat
bran, oil meal, cotton seed meal or
alfalfa or clover hay.
When it is considered that corn
can be grown so easily, and in every
section of the country, 1t stands at
the head of the list of forage crops for
this purpose.
The yield in feeding value and the
convenience of handling make 1t the
best silage crop
The yield will range from ten to
