FOREIGN

LIKELY FOREIGN CONTROL OF
CHINA-That Yuan Shi-kai's government
is faced with a serious financial crisis is the
opinion of substantial body of foreigners
in Picking and the treaty ports of China.
These men predict foreign financial control,
or a foreign public debt commission. The
difficulty of the situation is that the presi-
dent and his supporters have been unable to
obtain money from the provinces for the
administrative requirements of the central
government.
AS rule, little or nothing can be got
from the Provinces they are, on the con-
trary, continually calling upon the central
government for assistance, threatening that
rebellion or brigandages and looting that
will implicate the government with foreign
ers will result unless the assistance is forth
coming.
LACK OF CAPABLE MEN DIFFICULT.
The greatest difficulty is believed by for
eigners in Picking to be the lack throughout
the nation of men who possess the char
acter and intelligence necessary to build up
a modern system out of the corrupt and
antiouated eastern one which the country
knows.
Except where foreigners are given con-
troll or a measure of it-as in the case OF
the extensive salt tax-the government IS
able to collect little in the way of revenues.
Yuan Shi-kai might employ more foreigners
and put them in authority, but the men i'm
mediately round him, as we'll as he himself,
have given continued proofs of their un-
willingness to give authority to foreigners.
In desperation the government is now en-
deavoring to obtain another large loan from
the quintuple group of bankers, composed
of French, German, British, japanese, and
Russian banks, supported by their respective
governments.
LOANS HINGE ON FOREIGN CONTROL.
Feeling that Yuan's government is too
and unstable to trust with an
other large loan, the quintuple delegations
are requiring the banks to stipulate what
amounts to foreign control of China's fin
ances for a period of, it is stated, fifty
years, as condition Of any further extern
sive loans.
Up to the present the government has re-
fused this condition and is getting along the
best it can with small loans at high interest
part of which are sometimes taken out in
ammunition, and other necessities
Sometimes railway and other concessions
are granted for such uncontrolled loans.
But it is believed that the day of reckoning
soon will arrive.

The following directions, carefully carried
out in feeding chicks from one to five days
old, have proved very successful
Small quantities of the following ration
can be mixed in the same proportion.
8 lbs. of rolled oats
s lbs. of cracker crumbs
2 lbs. of sifted beef scraps
2 ID. of bone meal
Moisten with sour skim milk, and feed
five times day.

Not only that, but it requires patience
and perseverance.
Encouragement is word never to be
thought of, but one must keep the picture
of ones chores and birds and the ribbons
and prizes to be taken ever in ones mind and
try again when the incubator fails or chicks
die.

GOOD ROADS

GOOD ROADS: Hundreds of people
in different parts of the State celebrated
GOOD Roads Day." suggested by Cover
nor Dunn by working on the public high
ways Wednesday. In the aggregate, many
miles of roads were improved, and the oc-
casion tends to enthuse people to work for
better highways.

By feeding plenty of oyster shell, the
shells of the eggs are free from thin spots.
Too much evaporation takes place in the
eggs during the incubating when there are
thin spots in the shell, and the chicks die
before Matching.

Have plenty of fresh air in your incuba-
tor room. Moisture is necessary, but fresh
air is just as necessary, or even more so.
Never set eggs over two weeks DID, and
have them fresher if possible.

Do not give water too soon after the
chicks are Matched It mixes with the yoke
of the egg still unabsorbed in the chick,
and causes bowel trouble.
Be careful the chicks do not get wet and
chilled while drinking.
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1914-04-18

When the Matching is over, pull out the
tray. Place all the live chicks in the nur-
sery, and help any weak ones through the
shells. Leave allinthe nursey for forty-eight
hours before feeding.

The Mexican Situation

Il INC xV1OAxO1kx 01Su094O1G
President Wilson has issued an official
statement touching the Mexican situation.
He says:
In discussion in official circles in Wash
ington of the present Mexican situation the
following points have been very much dwelt
upon:
1t has been pointed out that in consider
ing the present somewhat delicate situation
in Mexico, the unpleasant incident at Tam
pico must not be thought of alone.
For some time the de facto government
of Mexico has seemed to think mere apol-
ogies sufficient when the rights of Amer
lean citizens or the dignity of the govern
ment of the United States we're involved
and has apparently made no attempt at Ell
Their reparation or the effective correction
of the serious derelictions of its civil and
military officers.
Immediately after the incident at Tam
pico an orderly from one of the ships of the
United States in the harbor of Vera Cruz,
who had been sent ashore to the postohice
for the ships mail, who was in uniform and
had the official mail bag on his back, was
arrested and put into jail by the local au-
thorities.
He was subsequently released and
nominal punishment inflicted on the officer
who had arrested him, but it was significant
that an orderly from the fleet of the United
States was picked out from the many per-
sons constantly going ashore on various er-
rands from the various ships in the harbor
representing several nations.
Most serious of all, the officials in charge
of the telegraph office at Mexico City pre-
sumed to withhold an official dispatch of
the government of the United States to its
embassy at Mexico City until it should have
been sent to the censor and his permission
received to deliver it, and gave the dispatch
into the hands of the charge d'afaires of
Liz oLIICu otdlCS OilIy uPCtI LIS pClSOlldl
and emphatic demand, he having learned
meantime through other channels that a
dispatch had been sent him which he had
not received.
1t cannot but strike anyone who has
watched the course Of events in Mexico
as significant that untoward incidents such
as these have not occurred in any case
where representatives of other governments
were concerned, but only in dealings with
representatives of the United States, and
that there has been no occasion for other
governments to call attention to such mat
tiers or to ask for apologies.
These repeated ofenses against the
rights and dignity of the United States, Of
lenses not duplicated with regard to the
representatives of other governments, have
necessarily made the impression that the
government of the United States was sim
gled out for manifestations of i'll will and
contempt.
The authorities of the State Department
feel confident that when the seriousness and
the cumulative effect of these incidents is

A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts About Kidney
Troubles.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the con-
dition of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes a chemical
analysis of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are do
fng their work properly, the other
organs cannot readily be brought back
to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results
are sure to follow. According TO
health statistics, Bright's disease
which is really an advanced form of
kidney trouble caused nearly ten
thousand deaths in 1913. in the state
OF New York alone. Therefore. it

BY LIMITED

AS the Seaboard limited approached
the water tank near Bushnell Thurs.
day afternoon, Dolly Watson, a negro
woman, said to have been 100 years
old, was on the track, and was killed.
The engineer blew his whistle and
attempted to stop his engine. but
could not do so in time, and while the
aged woman was not run over, she
was knocked off the track, and died
from the shock.
The engine had come nearly to a
standstill before she was struck, and
had she not been so old it is not be-
lieved that the shock would have
killed her.

Ashland Will Have
Millionaire OrchardiSt

Henry Thompson of Canon Falls
Minnesota closed deal Tuesday of
this week whereby he acquires a
twenty-acre bearing orchard at the
intersection of Walker avenue and
the Boulevard in East Ashland. The
orchard is one Of the best in its dis
trict and is considered worth $1,000
per acre. Mr.. Thompson trades for
it $50 acres OF timber and grazing
land near Hinckley Minnesota.
Mr.. Thompson came to the city sew
eral days ago with C. J. Swedenburg
brother to the Doctors Swedenburg
of Ashland and former resident of
this city-whO now lives at Canon
Falls. They have been visiting at
the F. G. Swedenburg home.
Mr.. Thompson is reputed worth
half a million dollars. He is a large
land owner and vice-president of the
Canon Falls Bank and has mining in
terests in the Duluth country for
which the Carnegies are now nego-
tiating. He has been spending much
of his time abroad-having crossed
the ocean fifteen times. He frankly
declares that he has never found a
finer climate at this time of the year
anywhere than right here in Ashland
Mr.. Thompson expects to come out
to Ashland next October and will
erect fine bungalow on the twenty.
acre tract which he has acquired. He
| is man advanced in years, without
wife or children-his wife having
died several years ago. He is a gen,
ial gentleman with a philanthropiC
turn OF mind and pleasing personal.
| ity. Ashland will certainly be pleased
to enroll him with her citizenship.
