GREAT TURKEY REGION.

Thanksgiving Bird Flourishes Better In
Southwest Texas Than Elsewhere.
The turkey fouriShcs in southwest
Texas rs in no other part Of the Unit
ell States. There is an abundance Of
natural food upon which the birds
thrive wonderfully. There is no lack
of wide ranges for their foraging. and
the climate is So mild that no shelter
is necessary. But turkeys were not
raised to any extent in that region IN
til the two cold storage and slaughter
ing plants were erected at Cuero. Then
Cuero became the turkey center Of the
United States. more dressed turkeys
being shipped out of the town than
from any other place in the country.
From the LIST Of November to the last
Of January the plants are in operation
day and night.
The largest turkey drive ever seen
in the United States took place into
Cuero when 5000 were herded by "a
dealer and driven thirteen miles. 1t
took the droyers thirty hours to deliv-
er the turkeys The birds took notion
to roOst in a grove about four miles
from town, and nothing would induce
them to continue the march to the
Strengthening pens.
When the birds are we'll behaved ami
meet with 10 strange obstacles on the
road the droyerS have no difficulty. but
when a turkey drive becomes really
frightened Il cattle stampede Is a tame
affair in comparison.
The greatest cause of trouble for
the droyers is the turkeys habit Of Sc
lecting its roostius time without re
gard to the time Of day. particularly If
the sky be overcast and the birds are
passing through wooded stretch Of
road. In cloudy weather the drovers
carefully avoid ihc bottom lands and
wooded sections where the darkness
Is apt to fool the birds into believing
that the sun is sinking.
DetOurs of miles are sometimes made
to avoid such conditions Once the
birds decide to stop for the night or
day it is impossible to force them to
continue the march Along the most
commonly used roads for the drives
there are regular roosting places at
convenient intervals. which the drov-
ers always try to reach before dusk.

LET Us GIVE THANKS
UNTO THE LORD"

The ancient Hebrews kept the
! feast Of thanksgiving with great
! rejoicing and religious ceremony.
They called it the feast Of in
! gathering"
In Leyiticus we are tod that
the Lord Spake unto Moses and
!, said:
"Ye shall do no servile work
! therein, and also on the fifteenth
day of the seventh month. when
! We have gathered in the fruit of
the land, We shall keep a feast
! unto the Lord, seven days. and
We shall rejoice before the Lord
! your God seven days"
Again in Exodus is mentioned
the feast OF harvest. the first
fruits of thy lHhorS. which thou
: hast sown in the field and the
feast of ingathering. which is the
end of the year. when thou hast
! gathered III my IahorS out of the
field"
All of these feastS occurred
after harvest time. when mate
rial blessings We're both alum
dant and obvious and the people
not only had the disposition. but
the time. to be thankful after
the labor of crop gathering was
over.
In these thanksgiving procla-
nations the people were COM
manded to take holiday. TO feast
and to rejoice, and all the procla.
nations since that day down 10
those annually issued by our
governors have not improved

however. as the Administration had
reached no decision as to whether the
caple should be censored, the same as
| the German wireless stations, no def
mite information would be given the
German representative.
Germany has only 5000 soldiers at
kiaochow," the charge stated, ''and with
the present fortifcations there il would
be impossible successfully to resist a
Japanese attack. Personally, / think the
the best thing Germany can do is to
give the province to China. That will
prevent slaughter of the thousands of
German business men, their wives and
children and the bigger part of our
army there"
Germany proposed at the outset Of
the war the naturalization of the terri
tory in the east, but this was refused
by Japan. While we fully realize that
we can't retain Kiaochow, we of course
can't give it up without protest.
The charge said he had absolutely
no faith" in Japan's statement that she
would turn Kiaochow over to China He
said Japan would be like England, al
ways making promises and never keep
ing them" Won Haimhausen said he
brough. up the matter at his conference
with Bryan, but that the Secretary Of
State informed him that because the
United States was neutral he could not
discuss the Japanese ultimatum.
Secretary Bryan informed the Ger
man charge he said, that the wireless
and cable censorship question would be
taken up at todays Cabinet meeting.

Bending Every Effort
To Avoid a Dispute

The Administration at Washington is
bending every effort to keep the United
States clear Of any misunderstanding
with Japan as q result of the latter
country's sudden entry into the war
arena
All during the morning, II is believed,
code cables were flashing back and
forth between this country and its am
bassadors in London, Peking. and
Tokyo. What these messages convened
is being carefully guarded by the State
Department. It is understood. however.
that they dealt almost exclusively with
she activities OF Japan. Washington is
still disposed to accept in good faith the
assurances of Japan that IL will confine
its operations to the maintenance OF
Chinese integrity. but China, 1t Is said,
is still restive as to what Japan pur-
poses doing.
Early today the German charge called
at the State Department and saw Secre-
tery Bryan. He called. II is known, TO
discuss with the premier the japanese
situation 1t is understood that he had
been directed by his government to seek
the influence Of this country to get
Japan 70 withdraw its demands on Ger
many. He got no satisfaction. He was
told by Secretary Bryan that the latter,
out Of respect for the obligations of
could not discuss the Japanese question.
and the interview was a brief one.
Tcday's meeting Of the Cabinet was
largely devoted to a discussion of the
Japanese situation. The President and
Secretary Bryan gave their colleagues
the full benefit Of the diplomatic cor
respondence between Washington and
Tokyo and London, preceding the ulti-
matum sent by Japan to Germany. In
cluded in this correspondence was the
more recent assurances of Great Brit
ain that Japan's activities will be con-
fined principally to the Chinese sea, in
the vicinity OF Kiaochow. the German
base, which Japan has commanded the
Kaiser to surrender. Coming from the
British foreign office, the assurances, IL
is pointed out, will to great extent
require England to see to II that Japan
keeps her promises.
The Administration here is concerned
with the activities OF those who in
fame public opinion against Japan by
dire warnings OF what Japan proposes
20 do in the way OF weakening the
strength OF Americas position In the
Far East.
The Cabinet also discussed at length
the vexing problem of establishing a
practicable and efficient censorship over
the cable and wireless stations on both
coasts in order to safeguard the neu-
traIity of the United States.

GERMANY MAL|GNED,
KAISER INFORMS US,

Germany is much maligned, her mo-
tives misunderstood. misconstrued and
deliberately misrepresented in a cam
in the United States.
This is the gist of complaint made
to this Government by Kaiser Wilhelm
and laid before the President by Sec
retary OF State Bryan. it was learned
today. The Kaiser bitterly resented the
charge that Germany is responsible for
the almost univesal war cloud envel-
oping Europe. Russia is to blame, the
Kaiser declared
Ambassador Gerard at BERN, was the
medium of the communication The
Kaiser did not ask that any statement
regarding his contentious be made for
mally by any official of this Government
to the American people. bue merely
urged that he be set right" with
President Wilson and Administration
officials.
The Kaiser's complaint, according to
unquestioned information, was made to
Ambassador Gerard at a personal con-
ference IN Berlin few days ago.
Gerard's report OF the conference has
been received and laid In full before the
President. Secretary of State Bryan
would not admit today, however. that
such a report had been received from
Gerard. Other State Department Of
ficials also denied the incident
According to the report here, the
Kaiser sent for Ambassador Gerard,
and in a heated interview set out fully
and in great detail the position of Ger
many.
II is believed the reason the Kaiser
did not use the German charge to
transmit his complaint, in the absence
of Ambas ssador Won Bernstorff. was be-
cause of the fact that the Berlin foreign
office Is unable to obtain direct cable
or other communication with the en-
bassy herr.
Ambassador Gerard is said to have
forwarded his report without comment.
except to say the Kaiser appeared most
indignant over the alleged unfairness OF
holding Germany responsible
for the general hostuues.
