The Terrible Slaughter.

Paris, Dec. 22.-According to a let
ter from a German officer published
in the Berlin Tageblatt, the German
losses in Belgium and northern France
have been appalling. Corpses are
strewn so thickly over the ground, the
officer says, that they cannot be bur
led for several days. He estimates
that the losses on both sides since the
ceeded those caused by the devastation
of Belgium in the thirteenth century
when a population of 100000 in the
a tenth of that number by cholera
epidemic.

Premier Viviani's Views.

Paris, Dec. 22.-The French govern
ment has only one policy. That is
the prosecution of the war against
Germany until an absolute victory is
won, Europe liberated and peace
guaranteed.
Premier Viviani set this forth ir
emphatic fashion today when the
French Senate and Chamber of Depu-
ties met in extraordinary session. The
speech of the premier was interrupted
with cheers. Many senator's had just
returned from the front. The seats
of those killed in battle were covered
with flowers and mourning insignia
Full responsibility for the war was
placed on Germany by the premier,
who declared this was clear to the
world.

Fighting in Turkey.

Petrograd, Dec. 22.-The Russian
troops have made such headway
against the Turks that the fighting in
the region of the Caucasus is now tax
ing place entirely upon Turkish terri
tory. The wounded are being removed
upon the backs of camels owing to the
lack of proper transport.
The Turks are suffering very heavy
losses in the district of Arean.
Many Arabs with feet and hands
frozen and otherwise suffering from
cold have been captured.

FOR BURNING OF STRIKERS

Major 6oushton and Captains Danks
and Van Cise, Comprising Military
Committee, Make Investigation
and Submit Report.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-The court-martial OF every
officer and enlisted man OF the state
militia who participated in the burn
ming of the coal strikers tent colony
at Ludlow in which two women and
eleven children were killed. is recon-
mended by Maj Edward j. Boughton,
jadsa-advocate; Capt. w. c. Danks
and Capt. Philip S. Van else OF the
Colorado National Guard, comprising
the military committee which conduct
cd an investigation. In a report Of
its findings submitted Saturday night,
the COMMITTEES lays responsibility for
the renewal of hostilities to the Greek
strikers of the colony, but finds that
after the first tent caught fire that
soldiers AID mine guards deliberately
spread the conflagration by pouring
! oil upon the flames and other tents
! The report attributes the burning Of
the first tent to concentrated firing
upon it. 1t recites that Major Ham
rock. when hostilities commenced
trained machine gun on the tent
colony Ito test his range" and fired
a volley directly into it.
The committee holds Lieut.. E. X.
Linderfelt largely responsible for the
antagonism which led to the tent col
ony burning, through wholly tactless
/ treatment o; mine guards and strik-
crs.''
1t found that Louis Tikas, leader Of
the colony. had sought to prevent a
clash between the colonists and the
militiamen; that Major Hamrock had
brought reinforcements before the
battle, and that the Greeks had pre-.
cipitated the fight by firing first.
Tikas, who later was taken prisoner
after having Joined the Greek fighting
ranks in the battle. the committee
found, had been struck SO violently
over the head by a rifle in the hands
of Lieutenant Linderfelt that the stock
of the weapon had been broken. The
committee found that Tikas and two
other prisoners were shot.
The committee reports that what
was designated as Troop "A" was re-
cruited from mine guards, who come
and 60 with strikes" are ineligible to
enlistment as national guardsmen and
mine employees.
The coal operators are blamed by
the committee for large part Of the
riotous and lawless acts in the strike
zone to their employment Of "igno-
rant lawless and savage south Euro
pean peasants" who have no respect
for law and to whom liberty means
license"
In conclusion, the committee recon-
mends In addition to a general court
martial the establishment OF state
constabulary and n further investiga.
ton by state and federal governments.
Major Bougliton, who wrote the re.
port. also added minority recommen.
dation in which he urges against the

Secretary Of War Garison's Proc.
Iamation to Major Holbrook,

Following is the proclamation
calling for the disarming of all per-
sons other than members of the
military service in Colorado, which
was sent to Major Holbrook at
Trinidad Saturday by Secretary of
War Garrison:
Whereas, Under existing circum-
stances, the possession of arms and
ammunition by persons not in the
military service Of the United States
tends to provoke disorder and to in
cite domestic violence. and hinders
the restoration OF norma! conditions
Of peace and good order. l do. by the
authority of the President Of the
United States, call upon and direct
all persons not in the military
service of the United States who
have arms or ammunition in their
possession or under tleir control to
deliver them forthwith to the Off
Ger at the place herein designated
Receipts will be issued for all arms
and ammunition so delivered. The
above applies to individuals. firms,
associations and corporations"
The Arvada enterprise., 1914-05-07

Washington, May 6.-In providing
for future governmen action in the
Colorado labor situation, President
Wilson has under advisement the
problem of what to do as regards re-
opening the coal mines. His deliber-
ations thus far include a plan of re-
fusing the operators to resume work
until there Is industrial as well as
civic peace. 1t can be asserted with
a fair degree of precision that there
will be no operation of the mines un-
til they can be run without guns.
Whether that means compromise
somewhere along the lines of the
present contending factions or wheth-
er one faction is to acknowledge
itself defeated is a question with
which the President is not concerned.
He proposes that the government will
aid neither unions nor operators, but
will maintain peace.
Whether this means closed coal
mines all over the state developments
will tell. 1t is reliably reported that
Secretary Garrison has orders to keep
the mines closed II they are to breed
trouble.
1t Is recalled that Roosevelt during
the strike OF 1904 threatened to put
United States military forces to min
ing coal In Pennsylvania to supply
people II the operators could not man
age to peaceably mine sufficient for
their needs.
The disarming proclamation Of the
secretary OF war. 1t was explained at
the War Department. means exactly
what 1t says. namely. that only mill
tary forces Of the United States can
carry or maintain guns. This. as a
matter Of course. would include the
state militia were 1t not for the fact
that the government has requested
that body to be withdrawn as fast as
the federals take the field.
Secretary Garrison received volumi.
nous telegraphic reports from cavalry
commanders in various military dis.
tricts In Colorado. The secretary
reads these dispatches and gives re-
turn orders in person. There is no
second In command.
Congressman Keating spent some
time with Secretary Garrison Satur-
day interpreting maps and giving him
general information as to the geogra-
ply and topography of the districts
where trouble has occurred.

DAIRY INFORMATION.

Warm milk should never be poured
into cold milk. nor should the nights
milk be mixed with the mornings
milk.
In order to produce desirable flavor
1t is very essential that the milk and
cream be handled under sanitary con-
ditions.
Some COWS are such persistent milk
ers that it is almost impossible to dry
them off before freshening. This
should be done, however, for every
good COW needs Il little rest.
The cream separator is recognized
as the most economical method Of
skimming milk.
. 1t is quite a common practice in
washing milk utensils to start with
hot water. This is not the best meth
cd. In boiling milk Il skin forms on
it. The hot water likewise hardens
this on to the sides of the milk vessel.
making it hard to remove. The better
way is to first rinse the utensil in cold
water. and it should be rinsed rs soon
us it is cEnptied of milk or else the
milk will dry and then rinsing will not
so thoroughly remove it.
Through the use of Silos and Soiling
crops from two to five times as many
cows can be kept on the same land.

Give new warm milk to Il COW that is

ungraded than in graded grain, con
sequently it can be seen that where
there is no marked difference in favor
Of grading. this might be due to the
thicker seeding which results from
sowing ungraded grain
AS a practical everyday problem for
the farmer who is called on to settle
this matter previous to sowing his
spring grain as we'll as his winter
wheat the practice of grading has
much to recommend it. In the first
place there is always more or less
''rOughness' among the grain as it
comes from the threshing machine.
This is in the form of chaff and short
pieces of straw. The running Of the
grain through the tanning mill means
the elimination of these, and in turn it
also means that such grain will lie
distributed much more uniformly when
drilled. Even though the winter wheat,
to begin with. may be Il fairly good
sample, weighing from sixty to sixty
two pounds per bushel, and even
though there may seem to be an en-
NNSNAHSiS Ai"l EySIN'ItieS VI ulIACll
grain. the elimination Of this so called
"roughage" becomes quite an impor-
tant factor as relating to uniform seed
ing. No drill has ever yet been de-
signed that will handle dirty grain. and
that is why II NEST progressive
wheat growers use the combination of
the tanning mill and the grain drill.
There is another advantage in using
the drill. 1t effects a saving in seed.
We find upon inquiry that the wheat
growers who are getting their thirty,
forty and fifty bushels per acre are
men who emphasize three things
namely. Il firm seed bed. the sowing of
good plump seed ana lastly the sowing
Of the grain with Il good drill.-Iowa
