Milan published an interview with
King Nicholas of Montenegro, who is

JAPAN IGNORES
PROTEST ENTERED
BY The CHINESE
Japanese Acknowledge Pro
test Politely but Keep on
Landing Their Troops on
Chinese Soil.

Picking, Sept. e.-The exact number
Kow, the Chinese port north of Using
Tau, cannot be definitely determined
here. 1t Is believed, however, that no
fewer than 5000 men already are on
shore and that 1000 more are coming.
The Chinese officials of Lung Kow
politely protested against the landing
of Japanese forces. The japanese ac-
cepted the protest with equal polite
ness and then proceeded to disregard
1t. There was no hostile incident dur
ing the Lung Kow landing.
The foreign office has formally pro-
tested to the Japanese and British le-
cations here against the violation OF
Chinas neutrality involved in the
landing at Lung Kow. which, being
100 miles from Using Tau, Is approx
imately 70 miles beyond the confines
of the German leased territory. Know
ing, however. that it's protest would
be useless, the foreign ONCE at the
same time requested the British and
Japanese authorities to confine their
operations to the zone extending on the
north from Lung K,ow to IAao Chow.
and on the south to the previously pre-
scribed fighting area Neither lega-
tion, however, accepted these lfmita-
tions.
The British regiments which are ex-
pected to take part in the investment
of Using Tau are at Tien Tsin.

London, Sept. 3.-The Chron-

writing from an unnamed town
in tho department of Somme,
Tuesday, says;
"The superiority of the Brit

pluck of the British infantry, is
rapidly telling on the German
attackers. A few moro days such
as Sunday and Monday and the
German army invading northern
France will have destroyed it,

"No army that ever existed
could survive tho terrible losses

show demoraIization.

Many Ru.sIan Successes.

London, Sept. 3.-The Petrograd (St
Petersburg) correspondent of the Post
sends the following on the operations
on the Russian front:
Russia is scoring success after suc-
cess against Austria and is momen-
tarily expecting news OF a signal vic
tory.
The commander-in-chief on the
Austrian front apparently plans to
drive in strongly with one army from
the east, starting from the Russian
provinces adjoining Rumania, and in
the meantime merely aims to restrain
the Austrian advances into the Polish
provinces, thus keeping Austria on the
alert along the line of 200 to 500 miles.
while pushing temporary advances
in south Poland the Russians were
forcing their way westward from
Podolia and Bessarabia on Lemberg.
When the Austrians finally realized
these plans they attempted to turn the
Russian left flank near Halo, near the
junction of the Gnita Lipa river with
the Dniester and a sanguinary fight
took place there two days ago.
"The Austrians were signally de-
feated, losing 5000 killed and many
prisoners, including one general. 80

supplies.

be absent sometimes for days, and
when he returned instead Of mention
ing his absence or any incident con-
nected with it he never referred to it.
One day when Alan returned from
the transaction Of certain business he
had on hand he found Nine. Grout
sky talking with handsomely dressed
young lady. The girl looked up at
Alan with a pair Of eyes which, so long
as they We're fixed upon him. held him
spellbound. What it was in their dark
depths to make him feel that for their
possessor he would jump off the brink
of a cliff he did not know, and yet he
saw her only few moments while
passing through a room to the stair
case leading to the second floor.
Not n person Chandler met under
this roof but impressed him. They
We're all different. but were all linked
together by some mystery. The land
lady seemed to be the guiding spirit.
At least. Alan could not but notice
that they all seemed to look up to her
with reverence. Though the gentlest
among them. she appeared to be the
strongest.
The girl who had fixed those Won
drous eyes on Chandler never came to
the house again. He was minded to
ask the landlady who she was. but
somehow he felt that there was a
barrier between him and the others in
| the house that he was forbidden to
| pass.
! One day when he was walking on
| the street a police officer tapped him
| Oh the shoulder and directed him to
80 with him. The policeman took him
| to a police station, where sat an officer
| at desk. Pulling out a drawer, he
| took therefrom little leathern case
; and. opening it. began to look from 1t
to Chandler and vice versa. Presently
he handed the article to Chandler, ask

lieved that 1t was.

at the door and motioned Chandler to
enter it. Then they We're driven out
Of the city to road along which

Helps For the Modern Farmer
BEES TRANSFER POLLEN.

1t has been matter of doubt until
recently as to just what agencies were
responsible for cross pOllinatiOn in ap-
pie orchards. 1t was thought that the
wind was Il factor as we'll as the
honeybees and other insects. 1t has
been proved. however, that the wind
has very little to do in aiding cross
pollination and that honeybees. wild
bees and other insects are very nece5-

honeybec and other insects as factors
in cross pollination an experiment was
carried Oh by the Kansas experiment
station under the direction of James
w. McCulloch, assistant entomologist.
Wind was not considered in the test,
because it was found that wherever
apples We're grown far from an apiary
only Il small amount Of fruit was
grown.
1t was found that tame bees were
the predomnating insects visiting the
flowers. They visited the trees from
early morning until s,lndown. Cloudy
or windy weather seemed to reduce
their number. and they did not begin
flying until after the dew had left the
trees.

BIRD WITH HUMAN VOICE.
It Is Called the Mineur and Initiates its
Master.

In the house of the consul in Bang
kok is a bird that keeps up an inces-
SAINT chatter that might almost be call
ed conversation, so clever is it. The
voice of this bird is much like a hu.
man voice, far more so than the par.
rot's. The bird is called the mineur OF
minor. 1t learns much more readily
than the parrot and is as clever at imi.
tating as the American mocking bird.
1t whistles in exact imitation of its
master and sings whole songs through
without making a mistake.
The master of this songster always
summons his servant to him by call
ing Boy" The mineur learned to
do the same thing. with the result that
the servant was sent on a FOOLS er.
rand many times. None could tell
whether the master called or the
mineur. This greatly annoyed the serv-
ant. whose owner told him that he
need not come unless he heard the call,
Boy. boy" repeated twice. In three
days time the mineur had learned his
trick and was doing the same thing.
Then it was arranged that the master
should strike on the table or clap his
hands. as they do IN Turkey or Siam.
This was too much for the mineur,
who found that his fun was over.

CATTLE POINTERS.

NO farmer who has not tried it should
engage in the cattle feeding business
on Il large scale at the start. He will
find. and generally at pretty high cost,
that experience and good judgment are
needed as much as corn to lay the fat
on Il bunch of steers at Il profit.
The power of production in Il COW is
inherited. If the COW is IL good dairy

good care and feed she will become
more productive as she increases in
age. The quantity rather than the
quality of her milk is Influenced by

1t costs just so much to put pound

The weight soldier In active service
has to carry often becomes Il burden.
and frequently in Il retreat or q light
much OF 1t Is thrown away.
Nearly all the soldiers belonging to
European armies have to carry about
with them in the field n kit which
ranges in weight from thirty eight to
sixty one pounds.
The equipment that the different SOL
diers carry about with them is very
similar. 1t generally comprises rifle
and bayonet, with rags and so on for
keeping them clean; an intrenching
tool and, of course a number Of rounds
of ammunition. Then there are the
various articles of clothing, With
changes, and a first aid outfit.
All the soldiers with one exception
carry knife, fork and spoon, water
bottle and mess tin. The Russians,
who are the exception, carry wooden
spoon only, which they keep in their
boots. There is also IL supply of food
carried and generally one or two re.
serve or emergency rations. Together
with an overcoat and the knapsack and
similar accOutrements, the load to b<
carried is considerable one.
The Russians carry most. the weight

the British. French and Germans come
next in order, carrying weights of for
