The dispatches also state that con-
siderable alarm is felt in England
over the German victories. The at
titude of England is expressed in two
words, "bulldog determination" The
purpose of the nation to see the war
through to the bloody end marks the
attitude of parliament, and its posi-
ton is warmly indorsed by the people.
England is not only loyal to its al
lies. Even beyond that consideration
remains this fact:
England cannot remain free if Ger
many triumphs.
1t is as much matter of national
liberty for England as for France.
German victory would make Eng
land subservient for long time. In
deed, it might never recover its indie
pendence, either as a political or COM
merical power.

LATE WAR NEWS.

The war situation has materially
changed during the past week. The
Germans, with an enormous force
have gained decisive victories over the
allies at Namur and along the Mouse,
and alarm is felt for the safety of
Paris. Dispatches state that Paris
ian authorities at the Louvre have re-
moved the Venus de Milo and other
art treasures, gems and state jewels
to the vaults and that they also are
strengthening the roofs of the picture
galleries with sand bags and other
protection against an aeroplane inva-
ton.
On the other hand, the Russian
army is threatening Berlin. The Rus
sian forces are said to number mill
lion men and their progress seems to
be irresistible. Today's dispatches
contain the following:
The military correspondent of the
Nieuw Courant declares he is able to
state on trustworthy authority that
the Germans plan to abandon temper
arily East and West Prussia and Pom
erania to the Russians and withdraw
slowly TO the river Oder, where the
main defenses of Berlin lie. Ger
many" according to the correspond
ent, appears to have undertaken this
measure TO give time TO her army
operating against France TO try to
deal the British and French armies
their death blow and then march on
to Parish, the distance between Mons
and Paris being four times less than
the distance between st, Petersburg
and Berlin" Much is hoped here
from the Unexpectedly victorious pro-
gress of the Russian armies in Prussia
and the fact that the Austrians have
been compelled to abandon their cam
paign against Servia. The belief is
held here that, even should the Ger
mans succeed in reaching Paris, the
Russians almost as certainly will
reach Berlin.

ALL SWITZERLAND AS A
RED CROSS HOSPITAL CAMP
Disabled Fighters of Every Army En-
gagged Would Be Cared For.

The evening journal La Sera of Rome
has received a message from Berne
stating that the federal council has
proposed Il guarantee of neutrality and
has offered to convert the whole of
Switzerland into colossal Red Cross
hospital camp for the reception of the
wounded. irrespective of nationality.
Surgery and medicine did not come
into use on the battlefield before the
last decade of the eighteenth century.
Before that time wounded soldiers
were either carried to the rear by their
comrades or left unattended to and
exposed until the fighting was over
Surgical assistance did not reach the
battlefield until the day after the en-
gagement or even later, and for many
of the wounded it was then too late.
In 1902 Baron Dominique Jean Lar
rey of the French army introduced his
system of "ambulances volantes'' or fly
ing field hospitals. capable of moving
rapidly from place to place. They
gave primary surgical treatment and re-
moved the wounded quickly from the
field. Napoleon warmly supported
Larrey. and the system soon was
brought to a high state of efficiency In
the grand army.
The founder of the Red Cross So
ciety was Jean Henri Dunant. a phil
anthropic citizen of Geneva. Switzer-
land. On June IA, 1859. he CHANGED to be
present at the battle Of Solferino and
was an eyewitness to the vast amount
of unnecessary suffering that resulted
from the inability of the regular surgi
cal corps to care for the thousands of
wounded who lay upon the field
Three years later he published book
the horrors of war and pro-
posing volunteer societies to supple |
ment the military surgical corps.
After the publication of his book an |
agitation began which resulted in call |
ing an international conference at Ge-
neva in 1863 In October of that year
the Geneva convention was signed. |

Timely Advice Regarding Silo

/ inch cutter will require 15-horse-
power gasoline engine.
One of the most, if not the most
important part in filling silo is the
packing of the silage. The siiage
must be packed well if it is to keep,
for this packing forces out the air and
the essential thing in making silage
is the exclusion of air. If air spaces
are left in the silo, large amounts of
silage will be lost. In silo IL feet
in diameter and with small cutter,
use two or more men. In large silos
and filling with large cutters, keep
three or more men in the silo and see
that they tramp all the time. Pack the
edges next to the wall; the middle will
take care of itself.
When the plants are green no wa
ter need be added in making silage,
but if the silage has begun to dry or
cure in the field some water should
be run into the silo while being filled.
This is done to bring the moisture
content of the silage nearer to its nat
ural state, to make it pack down bet
ter, and help exclude the air. One
safe rule in this matter would be, If
in doubt, run in some water. Water
will not hurt the silage if there is no
excess, and every silo should have
either a dirt floor or a drain, which
will let any excess water escape. The
best place to add the water is to run
It into the blower while cutting.
AS six or more inches of silage at
the top will spoil, it is sometimes adj
visable to cover the top with some
cheap or worthless material. A lay
ar of cut oat straw is sometimes run
N for covering for the silage and
wet down and trampled. This forms
seal and preserves all the feed.When
'eeding is begun, all of this top layer
If spoiled stuff should be thrown
aside.
1t is advisable to tramp the top of
he silage every day for 10 days or
wo weeks after the silo is filled, as
his helps to force out the air and
ends to prevent the silage from set
ling away from the well.

~ cattle feeding in Amarillo
IA Tex, has led to the compila
ton of certain data, on how
and when to fill a silo, which should
be of interest to farmers in this part
of Idaho, where there are many who
are about to fill silos for the first
time this year and for such the fol
lowing should be timely.
The proper time to cut this feed
for silage is when the seed are in the
stiff dough stage and the bottom
leaves begin to turn brown, for at
this stage the plant will have its
maximum nutritive value and yet be
green enough to keep well in the silo.
This advice applies particularly to
silage which is made from kafir, milo,
feterita and sweet sorghum.
When there is large amount of
feed to be cut, the work should be
done with row binder, this being
the most economical method. In haul
ing the feed from the field TO the
silo, a wagon with a low down bed
is much better than one with regu-
lar hay frame, as the green bundles
are rather heavy to lift. Use suffi-
cient wagons to haul the feed as fast
as cut. 1t should not be allowed to
wilt or become partly cured before
putting into the silo. 1t will not
keep as well as if allowed TO become
dry. Wagons should be well loaded
each trip, otherwise the expense of
filing the silo will be greatly increas
ed. If one has strong wagons, four
horse teams may be used to advan-
tage.
Silage should be cut into one-half
inch lengths, as it packs in much clos
er than when left longer, thus crowd
ing out the air, and the silage keeps
better. The capacity of the silo is
also increased and there is less waste
in feeding, as all will be eaten.
The power required to run the si-
lage cutter, with blower attached, is
ordinarily figured at one horse power
for each inch of cutter--that is, 10

Toys in Plenty for Christmas.

| Here is encouragement for the kid
dies-and some others-who have been
worrying about the possible compost
| ton Of ST. Nick's pack just about two
months ahead. In spite of the war
| Santa Claus pack will be as full of
toys as ever this year. This is the
good news which has been given out
by the great toy dealers here which
is expected to comfort thousands of
youngsters throughout the land. Ever
since the beginning of the war the
question has been raised as to the ex-
tent to which the demand for toys for
next Christmas could be satisfied. This
is due to the fact that great part of
the toys used in this country are man.
ufactured by hand in Germany and
Austria, only such toys as can be man
ufactured by machinery being produc-
ed In any quantity in this country
Fortunately however, dealers here
state that ninety eight per cent of the
imported goods are here now and that
everything that has been ordered is on
the way. Were it not for this the
Christmas stockings might be empty
indeed since dealers here assert that
if this country were to start now to
produce all its own toys it would not
be able to turn out the supply in many
years.
Toy making in Germany and Austria
is an industry which, has taken years
to build up and is carried on for the
most part by hand labor. The excel
lence of the foreign toys, they point
out, is due to the fact that for gener-
atoms small communities have confin-
ed themselves to single lines at which
the whole family works, the result be-
ing product of really skilled labor
Even for Christmas 1915 the prospect
of good supply of toys is encourag-
ing, since many orders have already
been placed which, if Holland remains
neutral, can be filled without difficult

What Pop Was Thinking About.

a few days ago. Briee. the five-year-
son of DR.. Hawkins, of Swayzee, Ind,
was to take part in Juvenile home tall
ent production in which he was to repre-
sent Cupid. Several days before the
event his father began to question Brice
as 10 the kind of entertainment he was
to participate in, and as to what part he
was to play.
Brice Informed his father that he was
to play the role of Cupid, whereupon the
father began to kid the young man,
and finally ended his remarks by saying
that if he was to represent Cupid he
would have to appear on the stage with
out clothing. as Cupid was little fellow
that went about the world nude, carrying
bow and arrow and piercing any one
who might appear.
This information somewhat perplexed
Brice, who. in his embarrassment, struck
a happy idea. when he remarked to his
father. why, pop. you're not thinking
about Cupid, you're thinking about

Keeping Your Eye on the War?

As a result of the European conflict
it now seems probable that each of at
least 100000 Americans will lose an
eye 1t should not be understood, how
ever, that they will lose their sight
since in their cases this is already
gone. the eyes referred to being glass
eyes. These, as practically all of them
are imported. are getting scarcer and
higher in price day by day and there
is no prospect of an increased supply
while the war continues according to
New York dealers AS glass eyes wear
out, usually within year or two, there
is constant demand for them among
the 100000 people in this country who
it is estimated have need of them.
While not all glass eyes are imported
those which are manufactured here are
made from imported material, chiefly
special qualities Of clearsand colored
glass which are combined in the pro-
cess of manufacture in order to initiate
OF the human eye. As not a single
shipment either of imported eyes nor
material has been received since the
beginning of the war it is feared that
the supply on hand will not be suffic-
lent for the remainder of the year.
Even after the war there is likely to
be much delay before the new supplies
are available since it is reported that
all the foreign glass eye factories have
shut down and the workmen have join
ed the armies. The process of manu-
featuring glass eyes requires peculiar
ly sensitive fingers and the reports of
large numbers of soldiers having their
fingers injured is causing much appre-
hension in the glass eye trade.
