Antwerp, Via Paris, Aug. 26.
40 p. M.).-The ministers of
the foreign powers at Antwerp
have protested against the bonn
bardment of Antwerp by Zeppe-
lin dirigible balloons. Among
other damage done was the to-

longing to an American citizen.
All lights at Antwerp are out at

of the city are behaving with
remarkable courage and patri-
otism, although conditions are
nerve racking. Antwerp is cut
off from the entire country, ex-
cept Malines, Client, Bruges and
the seacoast. The only cOmmu-
nication with the outside world
is through Ostend.

TURKEY MAY GO

SIDE IN THE WAR

Washington, Aug. 26.-Ten-

pie that diplomats there fear
Turkey may at any moment be
drawn into the general Euro
pean war on the side of Ger
many and Austria. A strict
censorship has been placed on
the newspapers in Turkey which
are now controlled by the mill
tary and are being used, accord
ing to diplomatic dispatches here
to create a strong pro-German
feeling. The Turkish cabinet is
wavering between a declaration
of war and the preservation of
neutrality. The diplomatic rep
resentatives of the various pow
ers are in constant conference
with the government officials,
Great Britain and Russia en-
deavoring to keep Turkey neu-
trail. Feeling is most acute over
the entry into the Dardanelles
of the German cruisers GOeben
and Breslau. Great Britain has
let it be known that if the GOe-
ben and Breslau enter the Medi-
! terranean with German crews
aboard they will be fired on by

A Big Demand

There was a big demand for -four
in foreign countries, according TO
these witnesses. with heavy demand
too in domestic markets Mr.. Zabrin-
ski said there was shortage of 400,-
100000 bushels in the Russian wheat
crop and that prudent housewives,
fearing a shortage at home have been
laying in barrels of the product in
stead OF buying by bags. with a re-
suit that the price of flour has gone
up. Mr.. Zabrinski declared that the
United States could dispose of its en-
tire flour output to France, England,
Greece and Turkey at any reasonable
prices and receive payment in gold be-
fore the staple was put aboard steam
ships.
Not only would war in Europe emu
IL an embargo was placed on Ameri-
can products, Mr.. Zabrinski and Mr..
Warner agreed, but normal markets
would be established at home and the
prices here go down. Mr.. Warner vol
unteered the opinion also that such
an embargo would bring the wrath of
the farmers upon the heads OF the ma :
tional administration if they were told
that they could not export grain to

DAIRYMEN STRONGLY FAVOR
USING IMPROVED STOCK
Their Association Urges Farmers To
Secure Well-Bred Bulls and Offers
Prizes For Superior Milk.

At a recent meeting of the Stata
Dairymen's Association in Baltimore, a
striking instance was given OF the
asleep at the switch" attitude Of our
milk producers as far as the improve
nent of their herds is concerned. In
1910, Mr. S. M. Shoemaker made the
offer of a pure-bred bull calf to the
farmer whose COW would make the
highest milk record in the State, no
expense to be incurred herewith, and
no restrictions except that the contest
be supervised by the State Experiment
Station. There was not an inquiry
not one Sixty days after making this
offer Mr.. Shoemaker priced this same
bull to buyer at 1900 and promptly
sold it. Lest there should be question
as to this offer being widely enough
advertised, it should be added that the
bull calf, together with its pedigree
and large placard stating the simple
conditions of the prize We're on exhl
bition during Maryland Week OF that
year for all visitors at the Armory ID
see!

another prize of $50 for the most efli;
cient tester employed by one of these
associations and who has served In
this capacity for twelve months.
The Association also endorsed the
offer of the State Experiment Station
to place several Guernsey and Ayr
