LIKE SOCKS KNITTED
 !. BY MADAME JOFFRE
Wife of Allied Commander in Chief Unwearied in
 Well Doing

Paris, March 21.-tSpecia1.) .)-Madame Joffre, the wife of the general in chief, is unwearied in well doing and wool knitting for her husbands troops at the front. It is great day in the trenches when there arrives a package accompanied by the card of Madame la Generale Joffre. Many are the letters of thanks that Madame Joffre receives-letters, too, containing touching requests to which the conman- der in chiefs wife who has no secretary, replies in her own handwriting.
 One day came letter from French private soldier, prisoner in Germany, begging Madame Joffre to find his rela- tions for him, for he had not heard from them for months. This letter was ad- dressed simply Madame La Generalis- Germany it reached it's destination. The Germans know only too well by this ,ime the name of the French general in chief
 The gratitude of those who benefit by Madame Joffre's inexhaustible charity sometimes takes unexpected forms. One day she was sent crate of fresh eggs by peasants whose wounded son she had tended in a hospital at Royan. On the first of the year Madame Joffre received rough box bound with tricolor ribbon, from which she extracted after unwrap- ping an incredible amount of brown paper a tie pin for the general in chief-a tie pin worth 15 cents. It was not the least valued of her presents.

Peking, March 21.-(Special.)-Th Chin csc board of rites. which has in charge the education of the young Chinese Elm peror' has at length decided that the Elm peror should learn to speak some foreign language, and has selected English. They are now endeavoring to select a teacher out of several thousand applicants for ,he position.
 Although there are so many applicants the selection will be rsther difficult Though China is a republic, the old idea s of etiquette and court rank prevail in the household of the deposed Emperor The teacher must be man of distinc- tion, preferably former Manchu official and in addition to his knowledge of Eng fish. which must be thorough, must be well versed in the Chinese classics.
 The late Emperor Kwang-Hai spoke A little English. but he had been compelled to learn it clandestinely, as it was be- lieved to be inappropriate for the Elm peror of China to speak any but the Chinese and Manchu languages. The care which is being given to the education of the deposed Emperor of China has led to the belief in some quar- ters That his guardians and the Manchu adherents are preparing for a possible restoration of the Manchu line in the event of the death of Yuan Shi Kai.

 The woman who has the good sense to organize well her life would not break down despite the handicap of delicateiy

 But she is not so permitted. There is a conspiracy among the idlers who know her to prevent the smooth flowing of the current of her days. She begins the day we'll, for she has had her full quota of sleep. She has gone to the open window or the flat roof of her dwelling and has swept her lungs free of sale air and filled them with fresh. by deep breathing.

have told their story in short one, for example. Letters that wandered miles from the subject And letters that should never have been written, selfish letters, venting the writer's need of exprssion and making the innocent busy woman read. Often she only glances through long personal tales and diatribes against the world.
 No wonder that the woman signs and looks at the clock. Small wonder that she places some of these epistolary im- pertinences in a letter rack and leaves them there indefinitely, as they dserve.

But he talks on ana otners ramblingly succeed him.
 Then come callers. Some of them rom curiosity Others to kill time. Beauty destroyers, these callers, for after she has disposed of them her lips tighten in a straight line. There is deep vertical furrow between her brows. And the reser- voir of her precious vitality has been hal1 emptleu.

The world old demand of the idle folk from child hood to senility, upon the busy ones, to furnish them amusement. The busy folk are close to the beating heart of the world Things happen in their neighbor- hood. The idle folk want to hear the echo of these happenings from one who was near. Hence the invitations.

DUTCH QUEEN HAS
 BUT ONE PURPOSE
Has Devoted Herself to Maintaining Neutrality
IDOL OF THE PEOPLE
Popularity Has Increased With Her Years-Mode of Living of Utmost Plainness-Prince Consort Ob-
 literates Himself From Affairs

The Hague, Holland, February 25-(cor- respondence of the Associated Press) Queen wilhelmina has displayed wonder fnl singleness of mind with her cabinet and her people in their determination to uphold the dignity as well as the neu- trality of Holland. The Queens popu- larity has. if possible, increased with her years, and the government, the for e.gn relations, the defenses and the so- cial condition of the Netherlands are her constant care.
 At the beginning of hostilities. the Queen and her ministers immediately recognized the delicate situation of the Netherlands, lying on the seashore to- gether with Belgium as buffer between the powerful German and British em- pires and with it's territory temptingly open to violation by either pelligerent
 The Dutch cabinet, always acting Tn conjunction with the young monarch, de- ciced to call it's defensive forces to arms ana the Netherlands troops were, in fact, completely mobilized and prepared for eventualities even before their armies of the warning powers had been brought up to war footing. Since those anxious days in the beginning of August the Neither lands army has been in constant training under the watchful eye of it's comman- der-in-chief and ruler, who day after day rides out on horseback to some point of military concentration and inspects the men, from whom she often inquires per sonally as to their comfort and condi- tion.
 Her majesty decided to refrain from ceremonial functions while the war con- tinued and her meetings with courtiers and diplomats have been of a purely informal nature ever since the war be- gan.
 The Queens mode of living is of the ut most plainness consonant with her po- sition. She is. as a rule kept busy with state affairs, but every moment when she can break away from her sovereign duties is given to the supervision of the training and education of her little daugh- ter, the Princess Juliana
 Prince Henry, the Queens consort, has entirely obl 1erated his personality from Dutch affairs of state during these try ing times and he never by any chance interferes fin the politics of the country of his adoption. As president of the Dutch Red Cross he recently paid visit to the interned troops-Belgians, British

 Seventh, wherever possible get in touch with an educational poultry association in the community. If there are none get busy and form one. Such cooperative action on the part of enthusiastic anna teurs results in the securing Of wonder full educational facilities.

 for it's soundness and ease of attainment. Examples of Successes
 There comes to my mind number of examples of men now very successful poultrymen who secured their initial start in just this way.

The coming of the Buff Wyandotte was hailed with delight. It was introduced at the time the American breeders were enthusiastic for buff colored fowls of all breeds and its popularity quickly spread throughout the country. The Wyandotte is ono of the most, if not the most, popu- lar of all American breeds. Their fine plump formation, quick growth and ma- turity, good egg-laying qualities and gen. eral docility and adaptability to either confinement or free range are a few of the reasons for this popularity.
 The buff variety possesses all the good utility traits of It's white and colored cousins and has the plumage of rich golden buff which is so much admired by many fanciers.
 It is very much bred today and gives splendid results on utility poultry farms and furnishes a fine breeding to many fanciers with a corresponding satisfac- ton when any one of them produces an

Con- trary to the popular idea. motor ambu- lances are not used at the firing line. nor have they entirely superseded the old horse ambulance. Motor ambulances operate best in the rear of the line, where they are used to transport the wounded from the field hospitals to the ambulance trains.

 Buff Wyandottes originated from light colored Rhode Island Reds in some in- stances in others from Golden Wyan- dottes run out in color.

 The hens have always been consistent layers and steady filters of the egg bas- ket Many individuals and flocks have made egg records that are to be envsed by other breeds The chicks are strong and vigorous, make rapid growth, and are easily sa1able from broiler size to ma turity. Like all Wyandottes the buffs are full-breasted and meaty with rather fine bone and very little offal. This makes them deservedly popular with the market poultrymen and small breeder alike. As fancier's fowl they furnish a few fine problems in breeding to pro- duce fine specimens that not only have typical Wyandotte shape but the real golden buff color throughout.

He devotes him self to the Red Cross and other benevo- lent institutions most of the time, but at other times he takes his sporting, rifle and gives himse.r up to the chase over the royal country estate.
