farm folks on Easy street, aud stored
as ~succuleut silage for winter fodder

Any kind OF silo properly constructed
is better than no silo, but to make
good silage a silo must be air-tight.
The walls must DO perfectly smooth

The commander Of the first japanese

fotilla ran into typhoon. The boats
were scattered and five men lost their
lives as a result Of the storm. The
location of the feet was not given.
The Japanese embassy officials here
were still incredulous today as to the
reports from Picking that Japanese
naval attack upon Tsing-tau had been
repealed by the German garrison Of the
naval station. They stated positively
that no such attack had occurred or
was in contemplation for the present.
The Japanese campaign contemplated,
it was said, the establishment of a
rigid blockade of Tsing-tau from the
sea side, which would not expose the
Japanese warships to the fire Of the
land Notifications. The idea was to
starve out the garrison.
