Reoular Eeedinn Time.

Horses should be fed at exactly the same hour every day. They will fret if they are fed at irregular hours. If you are compelled to work them before they have finished eating do not feed them again until the next feeding time to avoid collie.

Don't Pasture Too Early.

Avoid putting stock on the pasture too early. There is temptation to do this while the ground is soft, and much injury to the grass may follow such a practice.

attack upon King Nicholas winter palace

rods of the palace, but did little damage.
The King, the Queen and the Prmcesses
Vera and Xenia saw thrilling fight be-
tween the palace guards and the aviators,
who were finally driven off.
The sky warriors flew in over Lake Sou
tart and began raining bombs, trying to
hit the roof of the royal residence. One
missile crashed through the glass roof OF
a conservatory a short distance from the
palace itself but the others were thrown
wildly.
Princess Vera rushed out on the lawn,
attracted by the noise of the explosion.
The King and Queen and other members
of the royal family followed. despite the
warning from the guards that they should
enter the cellar of the residence.
Quick-hrers directed a fusillade toward
the aviators. who continued to circle the
palace grounds. Several spent bullets fell
within a few yards of the royal party and
were promptly gathered as souvenirs by
the Priucesses. After dropping all their
bombs the aviators fled.

is not necessary to say word to show
that such a course by Germany would
bring irreparable military disadvantages
and regrettable dragging out of the
duration of the war. We desire
to protect neutral commerce in the future

The protection of neutrals, the Vos-
sische Zeitung continues, will be possible
only If the neutrals take care that their
flag is respected by Great Britain
The Frankfcrter Zeftung says:
The note assumes n too formal and
juristic standpoint regarding German
justification in eventually destroying nec-
trail ships. to which American politics
follows the line of argument of the Eng
lish manner of reasoning, which un-
fortunately has become second nature
The American Government gives too lit
tie weight to the difficdkt conflict in which
Germany finds itself, whereas no vital
interest of the United States is threat
ened, The way out of the difficulty is
opened by the announced American pro-
test against British misuse of flags AS

GREECE AND. ALBANIA
NOW ON BRINK OF WAR
Tribesmen's Invasion of Servia
Causes Alarm at Athens.
Germants Agents Accused.

ROME. Feb. 15.-Reports of an AL
bantam invasion of servia created con-
siderable excitement in Athens today, ac-
cording to dispatches from the Greek
capital.
In the absence of official information
Athens inclines to the view that ire
sponsible bands of Albanians may have
made reported sortie into Servian ter
ritory. Should the Government become
convinced that Turkey was behind the
Invasion. the breaking off Of diplomatic
relations between Turkey and Greece is
believed certain to follow.
The italian Foreign Office, today was
endeavoring to obtain confirmation of the
reports that Albania actually has begun
hostilities
a dispatch from Vienna says that Ser
Wan troops are being sent against the
Albanian invaders who invaded Servia
In the department of Prisrend Dis
patches from Nish say that German
agents supplied the Albanians with arms
and Influenced them to take the field
against the Serbs.

MURDER THREAT SEEN

London Paper Declares U. S.

War Zone Declaration.
LONDON, Feb. 10.

LONDON, Feb. 15.
That Germany has threatened the
United States with murder If the latter
country disregards Germany's warning
relative to the transformation of British
waters into war zone, was the declara-
ton made today by the Westminster Ga
zette In commenting upon the relations
between the United States and GERMANY.
the Gazette says:
I'VE are fortunately able to take a very
cool estimate of the blockade threat. The
present war zone declaration is a threat
that has disturbed neutral countries as
no other incident of the war has done.
Germany processes that il is sururised
and asks why the tone of the American
note to her is less friendly than the
American note to us. The answer ia
quite plain, Germany threatens the
United States with murder and sudden
death II, in the absence of an effective
blockade, she exercises the undoubted
right of sending merchant vessels to the
coasts of England No such intImation
has ever been sent by one friendly Power
TO another, and If it passes unchal-
lenged a neutral country loses the last
shred of security on the high seas If
the future is to be guarded from the worst
setback threatened in centuries amone
civilized nations protest against the prin-
ciple which Germany is seeking TO affirm
must be made good here now"
-Four days from now the German EN-
pire will run up the Jolly Roger as the
flag under which It has elected TO night, I"

ing to accept the declaration of London
as the law of the sea, but when England
falls to live up to 1t and starts a cam
paign to starvD out our noncombatants by
shutting off our shipments of food, we
are forced to retaliate In such ways as We
may deem most expedient."
The United States Government was
warned that IL It would protect its ships
from attack by German submarines, such
immunity from attack could be gained
only by bringing pressure to bear upon
Great Britain to permit foodstuffs on
neutral vessels to be shipped TO Germany
without seizure. 1t was made plain that
II Great Britain did not modify its posi-
ton Germany will inforce it's war zone
order after February Is with all the power
1t can muster.
Ambassador Won Bernstorff intimated
strongly that Germany would disregard
the demand made in the recent American
note that German war vessels visit and
search merchant vessels before making
attaeSqs, unless there was sudden and
definite change In Britain's attitude.
The Wtlhelmina cargo case, the German
Ambassador said, was highly important
as an issue at this stage and he renewed
the suggestion made previously TO the
State Department that the United States
take a Arm stand in urging Britain to re-
lease the cargo and permit 1t to go
through to Germany
After Won Bernstorff's visit, State De-
partment officials said their course was
still undecided. They indicated. however
their desire to do all possible to protect
American commerce and lives.
To this end 1t was believed the depart
ment would use it's good offices with Eng
land TO induce relaxation of her plan to
starve Germany

BRITISH CONTRABAND
NOTE TO ATTACK U. s.
TRADE GLOOM CLAIM
Reply to Shipping Protest, AL
ready in Washington, Re-
ported as Strong Attack on
American Contention of Bus
mess Depression.

LONDON Feb. 15.-On account of the
premature publication of the summary of
the original American note, the contents
of Great BrItains second reply, which is
now In the hands of the Washington
Government, are being guarded until the
time OF making the note public, which
probably will be very soon.
1t is possible, however to speculate as
to what Sir Edward Grey says, because
there are certain outstanding features of
the whole contraband situation which are
known to every one that, from the Brit
ish point of view, must inevitably be util-
lied In making the British arguments.
There Is also available Grey's preliminary
reply, already published
The most recent note undoubtedly will
prove as unyielding as the last one, and
1t Is commonly held here that the Amer
lean State Department will have a diff
cult case to answer, the British believing
that their country has the upper hand in
this controversy for the time being.
In the original protest the cardinal
point was the interruption of American
commerce to neutral countries. 1t in
volved the old problem OF ultimate
destination" and has been recognized as
one Of the most serious points of diff
ference between the two governments 1t
Is stated here that the presumption that
goods are reaching Germany. can be sup
ported by multltudinous figures showing
increase in American commerce with
neutral countries, which figures this
Government has been industriously col
lectmg.
In Washington's contention, Great
Britatn's policy was partly responsible
for American business depression. The
British Government holds that it can cite
American Department of Commerce
figures showing good business conditions
last year. This American contention has
always been considered here the greatest
weakness of the American note, and the
chances are that Sir Edward Grey at
taclSs 1t severely.

While nothing has been made public
regarding the conference between the
