The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1914-02-07

In recent interview Admiral Dew
ey, the ranking officer of the United
States State navy and head of it's
general board, says that this country
must have an adequate navy, and that
if congress does not follow the rec
concentrations of the board the re-
sponsibility must rest with the people
and not with the naval experts. He
disapproves of the present haphazard
building policy, and says that the peo-
pie who live inland want an adequate
navy but are not sufficiently we'll in
formed on the subject to urge their
representatives to concur in it's up
building. The admiral wants a big,
well-balanced fleet for 1920. This pic
ture is a recent snapshot Of the ia
nous naval officer taken one morning
when he was on his way to his Of
fee.

FL Paso, Tex.-General Francisco
Villa virtually has proclaimed his inde-
pendence from the Carranza national
government, according to reports
brought here by arrivals from all parts
of northern Mexico dominated by villa,
who has begun re-organizing his army.
Gen. Felipe Angeles. Carranza's de-
posed war secretary, has charge OF
the reorganization. A plot has been
set on foot for the immediate distribu-
tion Of lands In villa territory. Car
rama has not been even informed of
the plan, so far as was known here.
Arrivals from Aguas Calientes told
of forced loans being levied by the
Constitutionalists from foreign mer-

London, Aug. All the great Eu-
ropean powers except Italy, and most
of the secondary powers, are mobiliz.
ing with all their energy. Mobiliza.
tion has not yet reached a stage
where any Of the armies have met in
battle. Italy. which declared her neu.
trality, will begin to mobilize Officially
today, although the process probably is
well under way. Great Britain's mob
ilization is nearly completed but she
has not announced that she will join
in the general war.
Last night war officially existed be-
tween Austria and Germany on one
| side and Russia, Servia and Montene-
gro on the other. There had been no
official declaration of war between
Germany and France on either side.
but the German ambassador in Paris
received orders to demand his pass
ports.
The most important event in the
past twenty-four hours was Germany's
demand upon Belgium in the form of
a twelve-hour ultimatum that its troops
be permitted to cross Belgium to the
French frontier, coupled with the
promise that Belgian integrity should
remain unimpaired at the end of the
war and that Belgium should be COM
pensated. To this Belgium refused to
accede, on the grounds of her rights
and honor.
Sir Edward Grey. the British Sec
retary for Foreign Affairs, made q
statement in the House of Commons.
indicating that Great Britain's inter-
ests and obligations could not permit
her to submit to the violation of Bel
gian territory. This practically left the
decision as to whether Great Britain
should make war to public opinion.
There is absolutely no doubt that
British sentiment is for war. The ap-
peals of the pacificists get no hearing.
Germany, through her diplomats. has
virtual offer to refrain from using her
navy against France as the price of
Great Britain's neutrality
Great Britain has modified her
forces-and awaits events. She is not
a belligerent power nor is she neu-
trail one. The government has given
France assurances that the British
fleet will not permit the German fleet
to attack the French coast 1t has not
yet pledged itself to contribute an
army to the Continental war.
The British government regards
with the deepest distrust Germany's
violation of Belgium's neutrality but
makes no declaration as to whether. II
considers that measure provocation
for war.
This pronouncement OF the govern
ments policy-the result of two days
almost continuous dehberations-was
made to the House OF Commons by Sir
Edward Grey, secretary OF state for
foreign affairs.
Meanwhile the German embassy in
London is exerting every effort of 'di-
plomacy to induce Great Britain to
hold aloof from the conflict and to
bring public opinion to Germany's
side

GOOD TIME TO WEAN LAMBS
Wisconsin Expert Recommends Young,

When Four Months Old. I

A large percentage Of the mortality
of lambs and the poor condition In
which ewes in far too many flocks go
into the winter season Is due to the
mistake OF allowing the lambs to rum
with their mothers until late In the
fall or until they wean themselves ia
the belief OF Frank Kleinbeinz, shep4
herd Of the flocks maintained by the
Wisconsin College Of Agriculture
He recommends that after the lambs
have had the benefit Of their mothers
milk for from four to four and one-hala
months they be taken away and placed
on fresh pasture. This, besides keeping
down the most common Of sheep para
sites-the stomach worm-will give
the ewes an opportunity to be In a,
strong, vigorous condition at breeding
time. This means that large per.

The eve should be MIXED out as Oft

our roads were IA feet or more In
width, then the driving would be all
over the whole road, making a hard,
smooth surface, and by going over
once in while with a road drag it
would keep the center high, thderains

wash down the center, and there
would not be wear enough In any one
place to work or crush the surface into

You can repair q 14-foot road at any
time, and it will pack and make q

drive so as to hit the whole surface.
But not so with 9-foot road. They

ter how crooked the first pattern Is.
1t will be better to build IA feet or
wider in the first place. than to build
nine feet and then wider afterward.

Have not our counties and townships
been wasting good bit OF our money
by buila4ag 9-foot roadbeds on "a by
20 foot wide road grades? A 24-foot
wide grade is plenty wide enough for
q l4-foot roadbed. Then why spoil
a good grade by putting on 9-foot
road when 1t costs less than one-third
more to make good job Of 1t? Four
teen feet is sufficient width for two
tracks; that would mean just oney
half of the wear on the road. Then
We can drive SO as to have a wheel on
each side of the center and that makes
one more track and will be equal to
a 9-foot road. So you see we have
three times the wearing surface on q
14-foot roadbed that we do on 9-foot}
Then we have chance to pass other
rigs without one or both going into
