rard without actually severing diplo-
matte relations has been suggested in
some official quarters as one way OF
indicating the feeling Of the American
government. Other officials intimate
that a complete severance of diplomat.
ic relations until complete PREPARATION
and apology is made probably would
conform to the wishes of American
opinion.
Before any such point is reached,
however, certain preliminary steps
most likely will be followed. AS soon
as Ambassador Gerard's report from
the German government on the facts Of
the sinking of the Lusitania are re-
ceived it is expected that note will
be sent demanding full reparation, I'M
der the warning of the United States
that Germany would be held to "a
strict accountability" for the loss of
American vessels cor lives.' The case
of the American steamer Gulfight,
torpedoed without warning, the attack
by German airmen on the American
ship Cushing and the drowning of Leon
G. Thresher, an American on board the
British steamer Falaba, probably will
be grouped in the general representa-.
tons.
On Germany's reply will depend the
nature Of the next step by the United
States.
Wilson In SecIusion.
President Wilson continued to con-
slider the Lusitania disaster in seclu.
sion at the white house, but it was in.
dicated that he will soon let the coun.
try know what steps he has decided on.
Messages from all parts of the coun.
try continued to pour into the white
house counseling various courses.
Some advocated war but majority Of
them counseled peace although ex.

life.

Calls Act Infamous.


London, May 1O-"Our enemies have
reached a degree of infamy, culminat-
ing in the destruction of the Lusitania,
which it is simply hopeless to attempt
to describe said Andrew Bonar Law,
leader Of the opposition in the house
of commons, in speech today. Mr.
Bonar Laws remarks were delivered
on the presentation of medal to Cap
tain Bell of the British steamship
Thordis, which rammed German sub
marine off Beachy Head in February.
"This is not an act of warfare Mr..
Bonar Law continued, 1T is simply
murder, most foul, most unnatural"
Saying that up to the present no "ef-
fective protest. had been made by any
neutral country, he added:
What will happen now? The great
proud nation, the United States, is the
neutral country most closely affected
by this latest outrage. The simple
fact is that citizens of that great coun-
try have been barbarously murdered.
It is not for me to say what their ac-
ton ought to be, but feel sure the
lily by the monetary interests of the
country, but by feelings as to what is
due to a great nation among other ma
tons of the world"
Mr.. Law said that if the sinking of
the Lusitania had the effect he believ-
ed it would on the feelings, not only of
the British soldiers, but of the whole
nation, then we can thank the Germans
for this last instance Of their barbar-
GUS methods

one reason for putting the roof Of a
poultry house low down at the back.
Hens require very little head room.
In this plan the manner of placing
the droppings board and roosts close
up against the low back roof helps
splendidly in ventilation, because the
fresh air comes In through the thin
cotton cloth ventilators in front and
takes the place Of the warmer heated
air around the poultry roosts. The
warmer air naturally finds its way up
along the sloping roof to the front Of
the house. In this way natural cir
culation Of air is kept going all night
and all day.

AS the illustration shows. there should
be considerable projection Of roof and
this calls for neat finish all around
the edge. Also the different door
frames and window frames should be
painted a different color from the body
Of the house.
This particular plan calls for wood
en- siding lined on the inside with
building paper. The paper is put onto
the studding and is covered over with
the siding. The smooth side OF the
paper is turned in and all 2x4s used
for studding are dressed four sides

When shed roof poultry houses are
ventilated by means Of cheese-cloth

easily provided with fresh air.
The general ground plan Is to leave
the whole floor space free to be GOV.

for scratching purposes. Laying hens
m1st be kept busy to prevent them
from getting too fat. In order to man
ufacture eggs the hens must be well
ted The difference between fat hens
and laying hens depends upon the kind
Of food rather than the quantity. but
The element of exercise has a good
1eal to do with the keeping Of laying
hens in proper condition.
In these shed roof poultry houses
The droppings board usually is placed
under the low roof at the back The
roosts are supported few inches
shove the droppings board and the
nest boxes are suspended underneath.
This work is all done in such way
that the whole outfit may be taken out
easily and the whole inside of the
house may be thoroughly cleaned. The
easy cleaning proposition is worked
out in connection with all parts of the
house. Cleanliness means a great
deal in the poultry house.
The plan of this particular design
further provides for closed-in room
for brooding coops. This room may
be divided by partition, or II may be
made into one room for the use oil
houses. Some poultrymen use this
center room for the nest boxes al
well as for broody hens. The laying |:

many poutrymen who are anxious to
have the sun shine clear back to the
far wall during the very early spring
weeks when eggs are high in price
and the hens need every possible en-

Shed roof poultry houses present the
high sides OF the buildings to the sun.
Poultry houses are always faced In q
southerly direction, and they are al
ways closed in tight at the north and
west, because the prevailing cold
winds usually come from those two di.
rections. The sun shining against the
high side of the building during the
day usually keeps the house comfort
able during part Of the night because
of the stored up heat. In addition to
the warmth house is much more
cheerful on account Of admitting con-
siderable bright sunshine.

only in a small way, but they have
