c ERMANS LOSE MANY
HEAVY GUNS IN FLOOD

PARIS, Nov. 2o.-The Germans
lost many heavy guns in the Fland-
ers flood, according to this after
noon's official statement. Artillery
fire from the coast TO the Lys river
slackened somewhat yesterday.
A heavy snow is falling in Fland-
ers, preventing the German infantry
from making an attack. The Ger
mans followed the advantage at
Chauvan-Court and reoccupied the
village.
Argonne operations are without in
cident. Fierce fighting occurred oc-
CURED at Dixmude and the town is
battered to pieces. The allies war
ships are shelling the Germans. The
British are fighting the counter Of
fensive in North Arras.

CHARGE ATROCITIES
AGAINST GERMANS

LONDON. Nov. 2O.-The war bu-
reau published an additional report
from the Belgian commission charg
ing further German atrocities in Bel
gium. 1t alleges that 1880 civilians
were executed at Tamines, Dinant
and Belgium Luxembourg.
How the Executions Took Place.
The report alleged at Tamines the
Germans gathered 45O men before
church and shot them down with ma
chine guns, and that 264 houses were
sacked and burned and many persons,
including women and children, were
burned In the homes. The total vic
tins it is charged there were $50,
while at Dinant the report claims
more than 700 more were slain.
Twelve hundred houses were destroy
ed.
The report adds: "The worst ex-
cesses occurred in Belgian Luxem-
burg. Everywhere plundering was
systematic and complete. Executions
en- masse of various villages occurred
in the province, and fully 1000 killed.
Here three thousand homes were de-
stroyed. Rape was common. In most
OF the villages the soldiers did not
claim the populace attacked them. The
inhabitants say that the only explica-
Bile ground for the crimes is that the
soldiers were drunk and took pleas
ure in inflicting suffering.

Denver, under commission govern
ment is more corrupt than ever, il
we are to judge by some of the pa
pers. For instance, Commissioner
Pitcher has five men under him whom
he pays $4,000 year each, whose
duties are mostly to be sociable and
direct additional employees. Not only
are excessive salaries paid to men
who would not be able to command
over $1,000 a year in any CONNER
cial line by working twice as many
hours, but about every commissioner
must have from one to half dozen
automobiles for himself and assist
ants. We used to hear much about
the cost of the old Speer reign but
the limit appears to be on at pres
cnt. Guess office must be considered
a private snap by great many who
are elected to serve the people but
who in reality serve themselves.

ELECTION WORRIES THE DEMO.
Gratis.

The administration at Washington
is said to be greatly worried over
the result Of the recent election. So
long as there was great breach in
the ranks Of the Republican party, the
Democrats felt safe in remaining in
power and during the two years past
they have worked day and night to
continue the breach Of 1912. How
ever, when the votes were counted in
the recent election, it was seen that
the great majority Of those who de
serted the party had returned, and
that Of the few sef-styled leaders re-
mainingfi, none of whom had follow
ers. The remarkable condition con-
fronting the people of this country
with big crops and foreign war, has
caused the people to stop and think,
and in thinking they have quickly
reasoned the reason--a tariff meas
ure which failed to bring sufficient
revenue to carry on the government,
and tariff measure which has jeop-
ardized the manufacturing industries
of the United States. In referring
to the present condition and looking
into the future, the st. Louis Globe
Democrat says:
"The administration will try to
avoid the borrowing of money for
running expenses of the government.
That the last Democratic administra-
tion had to issue bonds in time of
profound peace is fact that has been
made much of by Republicans. On
the other hand there will never be any
enthusiasm over the peace war tax,
1t is not even certain that it will full
fill Democratic expectations as a rev.
enue yielder any more than the other
taxes have done. How to get rid of
it is one Of the most important prob
lens which confronts the chastened
Democracy. The presidential program
is said to include the borrowing Of
$50, 100000 for investment in the
shipping business. But the failure
of men of abundant means to buy
foreign ships now idle in our ports,
notwithstanding the change in the
registry laws and the establishment
of the governmental insurance bu-
reau, will give cautious statesmen
pause. The possibility of information
al complications is as strong an ele-
ment as the liability of loss under
governmental ownership. A great
many people believe that the govern
ment's initial investment of $45.000,-
900 in a railway in Alaska, where
there is but one person to every 1900
acres, including Indian and white
men, women mad children, is about
as heavy an experimental expenditure
as the country can afford in this di-
rection just now.
"The country has right to doubt
Democratic capacity for handling the
governmental business. Leading Dem
ocrats are aware of this lack of con-
fidence and since the election they
realize how necessary to their success
in 1916 showing of competency will
be. Congress has other duties than
the making of statutes, and veteran
members Of the house and senate may
be expected to call the attention of
the president and of their colleagues
to this fact. Especially will there be

Dut sklmmllk may often be substitute
ed at the end Of the fourth, depending
upon conditions and the value Of the
calf. One that gives promise Of de-
veloping into a $500 COW may be given
more expensive feed than one that will
v be worth more than $50.
Calves should not be fed roughage
too early. They will begin to eat 1t,
when two or three weeks old, but un-'
less it Is given in small amounts, d.
gestive disorders may result. Until
the calf is two months old, fine mixed
hay, which has less tendency to cause
scours, is better than clear clover or.
alfalfa. Small amounts Of silage
leaves may be fed after the calf Is n
month old.
Grain in small amounts may be fed
after the calf is two weeks old. A,
good mixture is five parts of whole
oats, three parts bran, one part corn
meal and one part oilmeal. 1t should
be given dry in order to compel thor
ough mastication. When fed in this
manner Immediately after the milk it
also helps to prevent a sucking.
1t is not advisable to turn young
calves on to pasture, as grass is very
laxative. The barn is more even in
temperature, also cooler, and If kept
clean and dry much more suitable for
the development Of the calf.
