BRITISH PROTEST
OIL CONFISCAHON
Wire Washington That Car
ranza's Decree Would Cut
Off English Supply
BRYAN TELLS RICE
TO INFORM MEXICO
By The United Press.

By The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. ia protest
of the most vigorous character from
the British government against Car
ranza's decree, confscatins oil prop
critics in the Tampico district, was
delivered to the State Department to-
day by British Ambassador Spring
Rice.
The representations followed the
receipt OF reports by British authorl-
ties that destruction Of British oil
wells and stopping of operations OF
all others were intended by the Car
rama officials.
Il was pointed out in the British
protest that the British government
is dependent on the Tampico oil
fields to large extent, or its oil sup
plies, needed particularly during the
war, and that cutting off this supply
would cause prices in Great Britain
TO soar. The situation, It was pointed
out, was made particularly critical
because of the war needs.
Ambassador Spring Rice conferred
with Secretary Bryan TO impress upon
him the seriousness of the situation and
to urge immediate and drastic steps by
the United States TO prevent the en-
I forcement oi Carranza's decree. Bryan
informed him that the United States
/ had already notified Consul Canada at
Vera Cruz to make strong representa-
tions to Carranza on the subject, but
suggested that Spring-Rice cable Car
rama directly Tho ambassador said he
would do would do this.
The British protest, following closely
upon the Spanish ambassadors represen-
tations yesterday against destruction OF
Spanish property, rendered the Mexican
situation more delicate today than for
several weeks.
A despatch from Monterey stated
that the advance of the villa army
had apparently been checked and
that a portion of fleeing Carranzistas
had rallied and had re-occupied
Monterey.
The Carranza garrison at Las Ter
cas- revolted yesterday in favor of the
peace conventionalists, but the insur-
rection was put down by the Carranza
loyalists and ten Of the rebels prompt
ly executed.

Sweet Simplicity Style.

The new modes have a sweet sim.
plicity, a sort of divine innocence"
that should disarm all criticism, save
that of chronic dyspeptics or malevo-
lent hypocritics. The choice Of ma
terials is more or less a restricted one
this year. and those we have lend
themselves best to simple and gra-
cious lines.
The widened skirts are really very
graceful and attractive, and some OF
the little coats quite adorable. A
skirt by the way, that admits of pock-
ets-not a pocket, mark you, but
pockets-ought to be welcomed after
our lean and pocketless years. With
in the memory of most of us pockets
have travelled all round the person.
Just for the moment, however, they
seem to have come to anchor In the
front of the skirt, and take up much
the same position as mans trousers
pockets, so that this season we shall
often be seen with hand comfortably
thrust into each pocket,

The soil for strawberries should be
well supplied with organic matter
(humus) in a well-decomposed state.
Many growers believe that new land
is essential for good results, but If old
soils are well supplied with organic
matter they will yield as large crops
as the new soils. The main difference
between old and new soils is in the
supply of humus and the mechanical
condition due to the presence or abb
sence of humus. The soil should be
we'll drained, but should hold mois-
ture during dry weather. Organic
matter in a well-decomposed state in
the soil makes 1t retentive OF mois-
ture. In sandy soils the organic mat
ter fills up the spaces between the
soil particles and checks evaporation,
while in clay soils it prevents the
soil from running together and bak-
ing and thereby prevents excessive
loss of moisture by capillarity and
evaporation.
A soil containing large quantities of
nitrogen should be avoided. as such a
soil will produce a heavy, dense
growth of foliage ar the expense OF
fruit. Weeds will be more trouble
some and the fruit will not ripen as
evenly on soil of this type.
Few soils that are adapted to straw
berry growing are rich enough to pro-
duce large crops of fruit without the
addition of manures or fertilizers Of
some kind.
Stable or barnyard manure Is the
best fertilizer for Strawberries, be-
cause 1t furnishes both plant food and
humus; but manure containing weed
seed should be avoided. The best
way to enrich strawberry land is to
apply manure to the crop preceding
the strawberries, in order that 1t may
decompose and become we'll incorpor-
ated with the soil and so that most
OF the weed seeds will have germinat-
ed by the time the plants are set. II
manure Is to be applied the season the
plants are set, only well-rotted manure
should be used. After the land has
been plowed the manure should be
spread broadcast at the rate of ten to
twenty tons per acre, depending upon
the fertility Of the soil, and narrowed in.
Manure does not contain sufficient
phosphoric acid and potash, and for
that reason it should be supplemented
by the use Of commercial fertilizers
rich In these elements.

There is nothing more touching and
prettily impressive than band Of lit

in which they are made ready for
their first communion. This event in
the childs life is impressed on her
memory as much by the appropriate
clothing Of her small body as by the
instruction of her mind. She never
forgets in after life the sight OF her
comrades In white or her own white
array.
The frocks made for this occasion
should be selected in sheer cotton ma

lingerie laces. Sprays of fine embrold-
cry, in small blossoms and leaves,
such as are used on infants clothes,

which is appropriate for this kind of
gown, inasmuch as It marks a great
occasion in the life of the child. But
there must not be too much OF a
good thing in the matter of decora-
ton.
Full, short, tulle wells are finished
at the edges in a variety Of ways, to
be worn with the sheer frocks. In
the picture a good example is shown

white flowers, forget-me-nots, myrtle,

A little jacket of organdie In white,

mer morning or to wear when one
spends a sultry day at home, is
shown here. 1t may be made of any
number OF sheer cotton materials, or
of thin silk. Lawn, dimity, null. wolfe,
cotton crepe, and all the pretty plain

die for making It.
The jacket Is cut in one piece with
kimono sleeves. II Is simply length
of goods folded over, with round neck
cut out and sleeves shaped as shown
In the picture. 1t is cut to open down
the front. The edges are all finished
with buttonhole stitching In a heavy
colored floss. Sprays of embroidery
ornament the fronts at the fastening.
Seams are machine stitched and
felled, and II one has no time for en-
broidering, the edges are to be finished
with a narrow machine-stitched hem
to which a ruffie of val or other lace
is whipped on. In place of the
fastening pictured, narrow satin rib
bon is sewed to each side OF the front
opening and tied, to fasten the gar
ment. One pair of ties Is sewed at
the neck and one at the bust line. The
small ribbon bows require ties ten to
twelve inches long, and look very
