 zona Poultry Assn)
 Poultry keeping here in the valley of the Salt is to some people nothing more than a series of endless disap- polntments, while to others it is a comparatively simple task To en- able the poultrymen of the valley to exchange their experiences on this subject the Arizona Poultry Asso- citation has inaugurated series of Poultry Mems Experience Meetings 7 At one of these meetings which was recently held in the Water Users Temple at Phoenix a goodly num- Der of the leading poultrymen came together to discuss the problem of Matching .and rearing chicks :" Among other facts which were brought out was the wonderful in- crease in popularity of the brooder stove. This was due to the great success which it's users were having in the rearing of large numbers of chicks at q minimum of expense. One party reported having lost 90 chicks by accident and twenty five otherwise out of 5000 raised under two of these stoves. Several others reported almost equal results. One man who has been in the poultry business here for nine years has tried almost every method of breeding with vary ing success. Last year he used his first broOder stove and this year in stalled two more. The capacity of these stoves is rated at 15UO chipl, . and many people who wish to raise

PLAN ABANDONED
 REGARDING NEUTRAL SHIPS
United States Diseards That Plan to Bring Americans Home.


 Washington. Aug. 25.-The proposal of the United States that nations at war regard as neutral ships owned by a belligerent chartered exclusively to bring Americans home has now been abandoned The subject is still being discussed through diplomatic chan nels, but chiefly to establish the posi- tion of the powers on article ET of the Second Hague convention.
 Under that article ships engaged in philanthropic mission were held to be exempt from capture. The United States announced that the repartition of Americans was construed by this government as such a mission, and asked the powers for a decline on the subject. Germany agreed but Great Britain accepted conditionally, asking that if German ships were chartered, American officers should man them. France rejected the proposal but has since modified her position to the same view held by Great Britain with reference to American officers. Both the French and English governments now maintain that if the German liners tied up in American ports were chartered by the United States, her officers should not be permitted to sail into English of French ports where information about the fortifica- tions of a harbor might be obtained. CTS probably would not wish to em- ploy foreign officers to handle their ships the plan has not met with suc- cess. Administration officials said today however that since the plan was proposed adequate facilities for transportating Americans have been provided in other ways.

RELAXATION OF EMBARGO ON
 SHIPMENT OF FOODSTUFFS.
Freer cIearanees of Grain and Other
 Cereals Are Reported.

New York, Aug. 25.-Further relaxa- ton of the embargo against the ship ment of foodstuffs was one of the few interesting developments connected with the financial situation today. From many important points along the Atlantic seaboard freer clearances of grain and other cereals were reported. indicating that the railroads are ear nestly cooperating in the movement. Improvement in this situation, it is generally recognized, will go far tow ards disentangling the many knotty problems which have grown out of the disorganiZed state of the foreign ex- change market Another conference of the. exchange interests was held to- day, but. like most previous meetings, the outcom cleft conditions virtually unchanged. There is a growing im- pression, however, that our bankers may yet agree to export a moderate amount of gold to meet impending foreign obligations. Gold bans amounting to $500.000 were taken from the assay office today for government account, it was said, and another small shipment of gold coin to Canada was reported.

British Cruiser Essex Stopped Aus

New York. Aug. 25.-Almost at the mouth of New York harbor, and with in sight of observers on shore. the British cruiser Essex halted today the Austrian freight steamer Ida, en route to this port from Quebec. Oficers and sailors from the Essex boarded the steamer, examined her papers and af- ter holding her an hour permitted her to proceed on her journey.
 The Ida, a slow steaming vessel. sailed into Halifax ten days ago with the Austrian ensign flying from her jackstaff. She had aboard a heavy cargo for Quebec and some stone for New York. The captain knew noth- ing of the declaration of war and first learned that his ship was liable to cap- ture as prize when Canadian authorf- ties boarded the vessel and seized if A prize court decided, however. thai inasmuch as the IdaEhad sailed from Lisbon before war was declared she should be permitted to discharge her cargo and continue her journey un- molested. Accordingly, the ship was released, the cargo for Quebec dis charged and the trip continued to New York Now the Ida has reached New York. however, the case is different.

 '.The minister of foreign affairs begs me to send you this information be- cause the American minister at Brus- sels Grand WhitlociS)f refused to transmit it. The Liege fortresSes have been taken by storm after a courage ors defense. The German government deeply regrets that owing to the atti- tude of the Belgian government tow ards Germany blood has been shed. Germany does not come into Belgium as an enemy. It is entirely by force of events that she has been obliged, owing to the military measures taken by France, to reach the serious de- cision of entering Belgium and occu- pying Liege as a base for future mifi- tary occupations.
 Now that the Belgian army by It's heroic resistance against enormously superior numbers has maintained it's honor, the German government becs the king of the Belgians and the Bel gian government to spare Belgium from further horrors of war.

400 GERMAN REsERvfsTs
 PRISONERS AT FALMOUTH

 Potsdam Bound for Rotterdam.

Falmouth. England. Aug. 25, e:2o D. m. The Holland-American Line steamer Potsdam from New York August 15, arrived here this afternoon with 400 Germans and some Austrian reservists on board. The reservists were immediately made prisoners of war, and are now in the hands of the military authorities.
 The Potsdam cleared from New York direct for Rotterdam and her sailing orders did not call for a stop as Falmouth or at any port between New York and Rotterdam. The agents Of the Holland-American line to which the ship belonged received no word Of her arrival at Falmouth and express their ignorance of the cir cumstances that led her te an Eng fish port. It is surmised. here, that she was spoken at sea by one of the British patrol ships and when the presence of Austrian and German re- servists on board was discovered she was conveyed into a British port.
