ALLIES HOPE TO DRIVE
GERMANS HOME this WEEK

London, Sept. 16. - The weeks
splendid achievements in France, &C.
companied by the Russian progress In
the eastern theatre of he war have
aroused great Joy and high hopes OF
the ability Of the allies to roll the
Prussians back to Germany this week.
The elation is made keener because
success came almost Unexpectedly.
Sunday in all the churches pray
ers were offered giving thanks for the
recent success, and asking for future
progress. London does not talk OF
peace and the rumors from America OF
osme suggestion by Ambassador Won
Bernstroh arouse little comment, but
as time passes it becomes apparent
that there are certain things which
Germany must pay if the allies win.
One thing is an enormous indemnity
to Belgium. Conversations with high
oflicials here indicate this stands fore
most in England's mind at the present
moment. Alsace-Lorraine must be re-
turned and it is expected France will
also demand the return of the indem.
nifty Of 1870. Still another payment

MEASURE IN ANY FORM

Washington, Sept. 15.-President

drove Immediately to the White
House, where he had a conference
with the congressional leaders over
the war revenue bill.
Washington, Sept. 16.-Senate re-
publicans at a conference determined
to fight any war revenue measure in
any form. Chairman Underwood OF
the ways and means committee, yield
ed to the protests of the democrats
against a tax on freight and agreed
to let the caucus last night decide. In
the meantime the president continued

PRESIDENT ORDERS THAT
UNITED STATES TROOPS
EVACUATE VERA CRUZ

Mexicans were killed and wounded.
The reasons for this step are set forth
in this White House statement:
'The troops have been ordered from
Vera Cruz. This action is taken in
view of the entire removal of the cir
cumstances which were thought to
Justify occupation. The further pres
ence of troops is deemed unneces-
|sary."
Specifically the American forces will
be withdrawn at the urgent appeal of
General Carranza, first chief of the
constitutionalists, in charge Of the ex-
ecutive power in Mexico City. Car
rama contended that the presence Of
American troops is menace to
friendly relations between Mexico and
the United States, as the Mexican peo-
pie con not understand the continued
presence of American troops on Mexi-
can soil, and would be bound to cher
ish resentment.
Preparations have begun for turning
the customs house of Vera Cruz, and
the municipal government over to the
Mexicans. The troops there number
1900. Confirmation has been received
from Consul Silliman, in Mexico City,
of the reported taking over of the
Mexican National railways by the
Carranza government.

TROOPS FOR PURSUIT

London, Sept. ia dispatch to the
Times from Paris says:
"The general in command in Paris
has a half million resh troops un.
der his command, which will be used,
presumably, in pursuing the enemy.
News that the German force from
Pont-a-Moussin to st. Die are aflling
back shows that the five German ar.
mics of General Won Kluk, Won Bue-
low, Crown Prince Frederick William,
the Duke of Wurtemberg, and that op-
Grating in Miselle are in retreat.
"The difficulties Of the retreating
army are many and there are good
chances that the allies may annihilate
them before they reach the frontier.
The Germans appear to be abandoning
their natural route, the valley of the
Disc, endeavoring to withdraw further
eastward to the barren and difficult
country of the Champagne, where the
roads are poor and provisions scant.
Beyond is the forest of Ardennes and
to the east the wooded and clayey
ridges of the forest of Argonne, as for
a barrier to progress as any
army could have. Beyond is the
Meuse, most of the bridges of which
will be destroyed.
IF they actually have abandoned
the Disc valley the German lines of
are reduced to one,
passing by Givet Namur and Liege.
The other passing Mezieres, Mont
medy and Luxumberg, the next line to
the south is commanded by the guns
at Verdun. ...-

BRYAN SIGNS four PEACE
TREATIES IN One DAY

Washington, Sept. 16.-Treaties be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, France, Spain and China were
signed today by Bryan and the Brit
ish, French, Spanish and Chinese am
bassadors, which the Washington gov
ernment believe will make armed
conflict between the United States and
these nations, almost, if not entirely,
impossible"
They provide that all disputes which
cannot be settled by diplomacy shall
be submitted to a permanent commits
sion for investivation for one year. Of
ficials regard this action the most ad-
vanced step the American government
has taken to forward the cause of
peace. These treaties are similar to
% signed with Central and South
American, and few European coun-
tries, i9 of which have been ratified
by the senate.
After signing, Bryan dispatched tel
egrams to the American embassies
and legations in Germany, Russia, Aus
tria and Belgium, notifying them of
what had occurred, expressing de-
sire that the United States sign SINH
lar treaties with these countries, all
of which have endorsed the principle

London, Sept. 16.-That the retreat
of the German western and central
armies in France has been checked is
shown in the official bulletins issued
late today by both the British and
French war Offices
Germany's armies to the north and
the east Of Paris, after retreating for
upwards of fifty miles toward the Bel
gian frontier, are today making de-
termined stand along the river Aisne.

deaux contains the first admission
from the French war Office since the
German turning movement began that
the kaiser's forces are returning to the
attack.

reached the entrenched positions prev.
iously prepared for them by their
sappers and that another great battle
will soon be commenced.

in hating their retreat, the British
official war bureau announcement,
couched in the tersest Of language, de-
clares that the success Of the allies
continue.

London, Sept. 16.-For once the
military critics of both sides agree
that the outcome of the campaign in
the western area depends on the re-
suit Of the operations of the German
Crown Prices army before Verdun,
but on the question of accomplished
facts there is divergence of opinion
as wide as ever.
Berlin maintains that the invest
ment of Verdun is now complete and
therefore expects within two Or three
days that there will be a resumption
of the offensive along the whole Ger
man front.
On the other hand the latest official
communications issued in behalf of
the allies states that the crown prince
has been driven back and has moved
his headquarters from Sainte Meme
hould, south of Rheims, to Mount Fau.
con, about fifteen miles northeast.
Berlin admits that the weakened
German right wing has been turned
back but discounts the reverses by
that it will have no effect
on the general forward movement to
be initiated when Verdun falls.

CARE FOR BROODER CHICKS
Losses During Brooding Period Cause
Many Poultry Farms to Fall
Classification of Devices.

By PROF. JOHN WILLARD BOLTE)
A broodcr Is any device for hous-
ing baby chicks and furnishing them
with the protection and warmth that
they get from the hen under natural
conditions.
Like all domestic fowls, the baby
chicken lacks the power to keep him.
self warm enough to develop, and he
must receive heat from outside sources
at regular intervals. even IN mild
weather, or he will die. 1t is really
remarkable Low many different things
can kill chicks. and it is the losses
during the h?ooding period that cause
thinking or nc will fail.
The use CT artificial brooders is ab-
solutely nee ssary where the eggs are
hatched in large numbers by incuba'
tors, because it is hard to get hens
to care for chicks which they have
not hatched. and it takes no more time
or space to handle a hundred chicks
in a good brOoder than to manage a
hen and a dozen chicks.
Hens will usually rear larger pro-
portion Of the chicks. though, because
they call the babies to them when II
grows cold or stormy; they are con-
stantly on the lookout for danger
teach the chicks to eat and are always
on the job Mans inventive genius
has developed brooding devices that
do everything but think like a hen
and the man in charge must do the
thinking or he will fail.
Brooding devices may be classified
as follows:
Indoor types-Fireless, lamp-heated
electric heated and continuous hot wa
ter heated brooders.
Outdoor. types-Lamp-heated, lamp
heated colony house brooders and gas
oline-heatcd colony house brooders.
For the small poultry keeper who
does not wish to use hens, we unhesl
tatingly recommend the use of the In
door lampheated brooder. Because oi
his modest requirements. the only
other type of brooder that fits his
needs is the individual outdoor lamp
heated type, and this device Is toe
much exposed to the temperature
changes to be safe for the amateur
unless he is about the place all day
Fireless brooders are not advisable ex
cent for experts, as they derive theiI
heat from the chicks themselves ano
the heat varies too much.
