bombmakers that sought to disable or
destroy munitions laden ships sailing
from New York to the entente allies,
has told the story Of his life to Assist
ant United States District Attorney

his own v~olition for five hours without
interruption. What he said was not
made public, but Mr.. Knox announced
that all Fay wanted to do now was to
plead guilty to the governments

to represent Fay, sought to G his
client in Mr.. Knox's office, but railing,

read the demurrer while the lawyer
waited outside, and. according to Mr..
Knox. said he did not wish to demur to
the indictment or to do anything else
but plead guilty and start at once to

GREECE PROVES AN ENIGMA
"Ailied Troops Seeking Refuge in
Greek Territory win Be Disarm'"
ed 10 Enigma for Britain.

London.-The intimation Of the
Greek government that any allied
troops seeking refuge in Greek terri
tory will be disarmed has been the
cause of considerable anxiety to the
entente powers, and consequently
Field Marshal K~itchener's near east
visit gains added importance.
Belated dispatches from Athens say
that Greece bases her decision on in
ternational law, while the entente min
listers contend that the right accorded
troops to enter the country through
Saloniki permits them to retire by tho
same route, should It become necessary
for them to do so. The ministers arc
demanding that Greece unequivocally
define the attitude she will observe
should such an eventuality present it.
self.
Besides the claim to hospitality
which the entente allies declare they
have on Greece, in view of the then
Premier Venizelos' invitation to them
to send a force to Saloniki to enable
Greece to fulfill her treaty obligations
to Servia, which, however, Greece re-
~pudiated. Earl Kitchener or the en-
tuate ministers are likely to draw the
attention of King Constantine and his
government to the fact that the consti'
tutionalism of Greece was guaranteed
by France, Russia and Great Britain,
and that it was only obtained after
Great Britain had ceded the lonian
lands to that country and the three
powers had agreed to contribute $40,
900 yearly for the personal use OF the
king.
This. it is contended, binds the
Greek people to the entente allies. ant
should King Constantine overrule thu
constitution, which the followers OF M
Venizelos insist he did when he dis
solved the chamber, it is suggested II
some quarters that King Constantine
would be reminded that his retention
of the throne of Greece depends on thu
continuance Of friendly neutrality to
ward the entente powers.

POULTRY ACCOUNTING.

Poultry keeping is business and
should be handled in a businesslike
manner. It takes capital to run it
and the profits should be in proper
ton to the capital invested - time
and money. 1t is impossible to do
the work intelligently If some form
of accounting is not used.
The poultryman should keep an
accurate account of all the expenses
and income of the business in order
to know whether it is profitable or
not, what branches of the business
are yielding a profit or loss, where
leaks and wastes occur, where to en-
large or where to retrench.
Every poultryman will find that an
accurate account of his poultry BUSH
ness will aid materially in reducing
his losses, will promote economy and
attention to details and remove the
temptation to expend money foolish
ly. Try it.

Feather eating is bad habit
usually brought about through a lack
of animal matter in the ration. AS
soon as it is discovered steps should
be taken to remedy the evil or the
whole flock will be found at it in a
short time. BY separating the Offend
ers from the rest of the flock, giving
them range and change OF diet
with a sufficient amount of meat,
ground green bone or meat scrap, the
habit is usually broken in short
time.
Fowls that are closely confined and
without a chance to exercise are more
liable to contract such habits as
feather eating and egg eating. Make
them work, keep them free from lice,
give them a decent, well-balanced ra-
ton and but little trouble will be ex-
perienced in keeping them properly
on the job.

II you are anticipating going into

the breed or variety that il suited to
your wants. Select well-tried and
variety Of pure-bred
fowls. Stay away from the new and
untried breeds being doomed as world
heaters. Every year sees a new boom
and a new death or two.
It would be foolish for q poultry
man desiring to specialize in eggs to
select the slow-growing and late
laying varieties such as the Cochin
and Brahma. It would be equally
foolish for the poultryman special
izing in meat fowls to select the Leg
horns or Anconas. Decide what
branch you wish to put your efforts

and suits your tastes, and stay with
it. Study, improve your flock and
