ISH ARMY, NORTHERN FRANCE,
April 21.-(By mail to New York;
I've spent parts of two days in what's
left of belgium and I find that the
dream OF the Belgians Is to see their
king ride back into Brussels. Men
and women, boys and girls, merchants
and farmers talk and plan and have
visions Of the time when the king
comes home"
The Belgians tint 7 have seen, live
in the midst Of the British troops and
their confidence In General French's s
army is unlimited.
Next to the English. the Belgians
adon, Americans. They know that
only few miles distance from them
are millions of Belgians who would
be starving If It were not for the
relief commission.
I've told all my grandchildren" an
old woman said to me, about Ameri-
cans. They know the American flag
and they know Mester Wheetlock,
(Rrand Whitlock, minister to Bel
gium). Thev have a flag and they
have his picture. When the king
comes home he will saw thanks very
much to Mester Wheetlock."
If 1t were not for a nearby hill this
old Belgian ladv's shop would have
been drilled with rife bullets and
blown up by German shells long ago

PASSENGERS IN serths.

NEW YORK, May 26.-The Hol.
land-American liner Ryndam, out
bound, was seriously damaged In col
lision with the Norwegian freighter
Joseph J. Cuneo, off Nantucket, at an
early hour today when the passengers
must have been in their berths.
There was heavy fog, but the sew
enty-eight passengers of the liner and
16O Of her crew were safely transfer
red in the darkness either to the
Cuneo or the battleship South Caro-
lima, which was nearby. Wireless
messages to Boston and New York
differed as to whether the passengers
were put aboard the freighter or the
battleship. In either event it appears
that all the ships concerned ere max.

by vessels of the Atlantic feet which
was engaged in maneuvers in that
vicinity "s
Captain Huebel OF the Ryndam,
wirelessed that he was making about
thirteen miles an hour toward New
York; that water was gaining in the
holds, but that he could control the
water in the engine room. The ex.
tent Of damage to the Cuneo was not
mentioned, but obviously she was not
badly injured, as repeated reference
was made In the wireless to passen-
gers having been transferred to her.
One brief wireless dispatch said
that passengers and crew were "get-

only suggestive details Of the thrilling
scene that must have been enacted in
the darkness and fog But the fact
that transfer was made safely, under
such adverse conditions, indicated
that the situation must have been

A good general barn is often re-
Quired on a farm. where it is not ad-
yisable to have big barn separate
for the dairy COWS and for horses. In
the general barn shown in the Illus
trations, room is provided for II cows
and horses. In addition to this there
are two box stalls that can be used for
any kind of stock. The box stalls
each have an entrance from the out
side and are thus we'll separated from
the rest OF the barn. 1t is very good
plan to have at least one box stall
In a barn, and 1t is even better TO have
two or three. In case valuable stock,
such as an expensive herd bull or a
stallion is kept, 1t may be necessary

caution that must be made with this
kind of a door, The top and bottom
parts must be carefully beveled where
they meet, so that the door will be
stOrmprOof in the wintertime; other
wise the draft through this opening
NAV keep the barn TOO cold.
The part of the barn occupied by the
horses is shut off from the rest OF the
barn by swinging doors. 1t is desira-
BILE in a combination barn to have the
horses and cows separated as COM
pletely as possible. In this barn the
doors close both the litter alleys and
the feed alleys except when they are
In use. The box stalls are in the
same end OF the barn as the horse
stalls.
The yentilating system is taken of
by two foul-air shafts. These are
placed In the partition between the
box stalls and the COW stable on each
side. These shafts reach from near
the floor to the ventilator on the roof
This carries away the foul air from the
stable proper and also ventilates the
haymow.
Intake fues are provided which take
the air into the stable just below the
windows and discharge it near the CELL
ing over the stock. Good ventilation
Is absolutely necessary il dairy barn
if the best of milk is to be produced.
The expense Of installing first-class
system will be more than made up in
the returns from healthy stock.
At the end of the barn in which the
cows are kept is a silo which opens
into a feed alley running between the
hangers. This alley is equipped with
a feed carrier running on track. The
work of feeding the stock in such
barn as this is much easier when the
feed can be carried on track running
the length of the barn. The carrier
runs into the horse part of the stable
also. The silage for the cattle and
the hay for both the cattle and the
horses can be conveniently handled
with this apparatus.
In back of the rows Of stalls on each
side OF the barn are litter carriers,
which assist In the handling OF the

best material for this purpose. The
side walls are carried down four feet
to the broad footings that support the
walls. Along each side OF the feed
alley Is a row OF 5-inch wrought-iron
columns. These are supported on con-
crete piers. Too much care cannot be
exercised in making these foundations
right. Nearly all the weight of the
fodder, straw, etc., In the haymow
Is carried by these columns. Care
must also be exercised In preparing
the ground before putting down the
concrete floor. It should be thorough
ly compacted so that the floor will not
sink In some place and thus crack.
The concrete side walls are carried
up to grade and the frame is then
erected on top of them.
All the doors opening to the out
side are Of the Dutch type. The
Dutch door is one of the best kinds
that can be put in barn. During the
warm weather the upper part can be
left open so as to provide plenty of
air, and the stock can be kept inside

finals. Also in case a COW or a horse
ts sick 1t can be handled much bet
ter IL 1t is away from the other an
finals.
The haymow is capable of taking
care of large quantity of clover, al
falfa, and straw. The roof is of the
gambrel type and is self-supporting, so
that there are no columns or posts in
the central part of the NOW to inter-
fere with the storage Of the fodder.
The gambrel roof is one of the strong
est Of roof designs, so there will be no
danger Of 1t not standing the strain
due to the wind and the snow. The
floor under the haymow is made OF
matched and dressed flooring, so that
the dust will not go through and both

men consider that this is a useless ex-
pense. but II they have had any ex-
perience with large barn they will
know that matched flooring is abso-
lutely necessary under the NOW in a
good dairy barn.
The foundations and floors are made

DEMAND GREECE
 TO DFMOBILIzE
CABINET MET TO CONSIDER ST. LAYTON, AND ITS ATTITUDE
 SHOULD BE KNOWN SOON.

London.-The entente allies have demanded that Greece either join with them and fulfill her treaty obli- gation to Servia or demobilize, and to impress King Constantine that they mean what they say, the allies have declared a commercial blockade of the Hellenic empire, according to Athens dispatches.
 There is no confirmation of these statements here, but it is certain that Lord Kitchener, the British war sec retary, who had an hours audience with the king of Greece, and after ward saw Premier Skouloudis, took a firm stand.
 The Greek cabinet met to consider the situation and few hours should show Greece's attitude. The Greek government again has affirmed It's friendliness to the allies, but has not taken the steps required to prevent Greece from being counted among the friends of the central powers.
 The entente allies will not permit any delay; the position of the Servian armies makes any prolongation of the present uncertainty impossible. All ready the Servians are making what may be their last stand before Mona stir and also on the. plains of Kos sovo.

BURIED ALIVE IN
 CELLAR OF HOME
ALLEGED MURDERER POINTS OUT SPOT WHERE CRIME OC-
 CURED AND BODY FOUND.

Batavia, N. Y.-Luigi Matroni was buried alive in the cellar of his home near Corfu in May, 1914 His body was trampled into a newly made grave while he still begged for mercy, according to a story told by his widow to District Attorney Coon. Antonio Boliva, the alleged murderer, pointed out the spot where the crime occurred and body was found which Mrs. Ma troni identified as that of her hus- band. Boliva has confessed, the dis trict attorney said
 Boliva, who is Mrs. Matronis son. -inlaw, is serving a, six months term in the Monroe county penitentiary for a stabbing affray Mrs. Matroni came here from Syracuse to tell the story of the murder, which, she declared, was witnessed by her and her young son, Charles Her long silence, she said, was due to fear of Boliva. When she learned he was in prison she felt safe to tell.
 Mrs. Matroni said that her husband was Iell6Q Dy a D1OW rom plCKdx handle yielded by Boliya. He was knocked unconscious, but revived be- fore the grave had been dug in the eel lar. He pleaded with Boliva for mercy just before he was thrown into the pit and trampled under the ground, she declared.
 After hearing the woman's story District Attorney Coon and Sheriff Ed gerton took Boliva to the farm where the Matronis formerly lived. Boliva at first denied knowledge of the mur- der, but later District Attorney Coon said he confessed and told the men where to dig. They found the body under nine feet of earth. The house had been torn down and the cellar filled in after the Matronis moved away.
 Boliva killed Matroni, he told the district attorney, because after his marriage to Matronis step-daughter she told him Matroni had attacked her the day before their wedding.

CLAIMS GERMAN ATTACHE AS SISTED IN SUPPLYING
 WARSHIPS.
S75O,0O0 EXPENDED HERE
Disbursing German Funds By Order of Captain Also Explained By Wit ness-Germans Imported One
 of the Witnesses.

New York.-Capt. K. Boy-Ed, Ger ters at the herman embassy in Wash ington, played a leading role, accord ing to testimony in federal court here, in the alleged conspiracy of several Hamburg-American Steam ship Line officials to defraud the United States by sending neutral re- lief ships with coal and other supplies to German warships in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans at the beginning of the European war.
 One witness swore that Capt. Boy Ed personally directed the expendi- ture of approximately $750,000, which, unsolicited and unexpected, had been deposited to the witness credit in a New York bank early in SeptemDer, 1914. Of this money, the witness said, $350,000 was telegraphed to the Neva- ia National Bank at San Francisco in one lump sum; $213,000 was paid, in several amounts, to the North Ger man-Lloyd Steamship Line here; about $75,000 to the Hamburg -Ameri- can Line here, and by cable money order in Hamburg and some of the remainder still was on hand. All of these disbursements, this witness as serted, were made by order of Capt. Boy-Ed
 This witness, Gustave B. Kulen- kampff, German importer and ex- porter with offices here. and others, testified in the trial of Dr. Karl Buenz Adolph Hachmesiter, George Kotter and Joseph Poppinghaus, all officials of the Hamburg-Americ Line, charged with conspiracy in di- recting the loading and dispatching of 16 vessels to the relief of a half dozen or more German warships.
 The testimony, which virtually open ed the governments case, followed a short address to the jury by Roger B. ! Wood, assistant United States district attorney, in which MT. Wood said that the government would show that the defendants rode roughshod over the laws and treaties of the United States as contemptuously as if those laws and treaties had been mere scraps ot paper"
