least attention is paid even after
warning has been given. 1t is
this: to slip your hand under a
hen while the chicks are still wet
is to kill every one that was ex-
posed for just a fraction of a Sec
ond to cold air. Every one of
them will die inside of ten days.
They cannot help but die. The
temperature under the hen is 103
degrees. If the outside tempera-
ture is SO, it means that the deli
cate little things We're shocked
beyond recovery by the sudden
exposure to a drop of so degrees.
Every one so exposed will die of
bowel trouble before it is two
weeks old. Let the hen alone.
You cannot do anything to assist
her at the time eggs are chip
ping. Better-far bet tter-let
her bring off what come into this
world without your help, for any
attempt on your part to break
shells, &c., onlylresultsin the loss
of several times the number that
would have died had you let them
alone until the hens instinct told
her to uncover them. Of course
you have noticed that the hen
that steals her nest invariably
raises more chicks than the one
that you helped. If you have
trouble with little chickens dying
at the age of from one to two
weeks, make note of the fiocks
so dying and see if they were the
ones you took a peep at before
they were dry and on their feet.
Another fatal mistake, one that
causes bowel trouble and death,
is to feed little chickens-or any
young poultry for from a day
and a half to two days after the
last one escaped from the shell.
Place clean water before them as
soon as they seem to want to
stir from under the hen, but give
them no feed. Why? Because
Nature so arranged that just be-
fore a chick pierces the shell, the
yolk of the egg is absorbed by
the chick, and all of its little in
sides are filled with rich food al
most equal in weight to the chick
Can you wonder then, that bow
ell trouble follows when the igno-
rant things are permitted to stuff
extra food into their stomachs? ?
Note how long a hen will sit on
her brood, if left alone, before
attempting to lead them to food.
Steel your nerves to let hens
alone for a day or two after chicks
are hatched if you wish to raise
more, and stronger, chickens.

MUST GIVE UP WATER LINES.
Order of 1. c. c. Affects Chesapenks
Bay Carriers.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
by an order of the Interstate Commerce
Commission entered yesterday, must
divorce itself from all of its water
transportation lines operating in the
Chesapeake Bay, except those running
from Baltimore to Love Point and to
Claiborne. These two lines are held to
be ferry facilities and non-competitive.
These lines run to Ocean City, Md, and
to Rehoboth Beach, Del
The order will compel the Pennsylvania
to dispose of property estimated to be
worth SO 100000 before April l, 1916. The
Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic and
the Maryland. Delaware and Virginia
are affected by the order, and will have
to operate in the future under ownership
other than railway because. being COM
petitfve with land carriers, they are re-
pugnant to the Panama Canal act.
The action taken yesterday was upon
complaint of the Baltimore commercial
organizations. which represented to the
commission that competition was being
stified under the railway ownership and
management of the bay lines.

U. S. REPLY GOES TO GERMANY
Protests Against Prize Court Pro

The reply of the United States to Ger
many in the issues raised between the
two governments arising out of the &C
ton of the Prince Eitel Frederick, a Ger
man sea raider, in sinking the American
bark William P. Frye. has been for
warded to Berlin, and will be made pub
lie today.
Germany has commended that the >Eitel
had right to sink the Frye despite the
guarantees of protection for such YES
sells that this government contends was
assured in the treaty negotiated with
Prussia in 1893. The United States will
assert that the Eitel had a right to
search the Frye, destroy any contraband
found aboard. and permit the vessel to
60 on her way. She will assert that the
Eitel. in view of treaty obligations. ex-
ceeded her rights. and protest will be
made against the action of Germany in
referring the case to prize court
1t is understood that this government
will contend that damages should have
been paid promptly without reference to
prize court proceedings

ASKS TO LAY TRACK
IN POTOMAC PARK
Contractor for Interior Department
Building Files Second Application
to Build Railway Spur.

Application for the temporary con-
struction of a railroad track through
the western portion of Potomac Park
to aid the speedy construction of the
new home of the Interior Department
at Eighteenth and F streets north
west, yesterday Vas rejected by Gen
Dan C. Kingman. chief of engineers
of the army. who has jurisdiction over
the park. after the project already had
been Endorsed by Col. Harris. super
intendent of public buildings and
grounds. the Secretary of Interior, the
Secretary of Treasury and the Dis
trict Commissioners.
Gen. Kingman's contention was that
the park was set aside by Congress
as a playground and place Of recrea-
ton for the exclusive usesof the
people and that its use for other pur-
poses would be in violation of law.
1t is said that the construction of the
road would necessitate the removal of
some of the tennis courts on B street
and some of the beautiful trees in
the section set aside as an arboretum.
John H Parker, of New York, con-
tractor for the new Interior Depart
ment Building, who made the appli-
cation, has filed a second application.
with notifications as to time and route
and other features. 1t is under con-
sideration by Gem Kingman.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
already has run a spur from the west
bank of Rock Creek south of K street
to the site of the Lincoln Memorial.
to aid the rapid construction of that
building and it was hoped by the Par
ker Company to obtain permission to
extend this spur eastward through Po-
tomac Park from Twenty-third street
and thence north to the site of the
new Interior Department building.

AUSTRIAN OFFENSIVE
TURNED BY ITALIANS
Positions at Dreizinnen and Redoubt
Taken by Invaders-Carso Ad-
vance Progresses.
BY ANDRE BEAUMONT.

Milan. Aug. ga methodical italian
advance on Carso. where serious fighting
has been resumed, goes on.
In reply to the steady encroachment OF
the Italians on their positions. the Aus,
TRANS undertook a fresh offensive on q
large scale. .
For the first time their attack began In
the day time. the Austrians having aban-
doned hope of successful surprise moves
by night.
The Austrian artillery was silent and
the Italian machine guns moved forward
The infantry followed. and the Aus
TRANS were driven out Of the positions
from which they started to attack.
This is how the Italians have succeeded
in holding more advanced positions al
Marcottini and along the entire line be-
tween Monte San Michele and Monte
Scibusi.
Another important success mentioned
today is the capture Of the strong Aus
trian positions at Dreizinnen, and a re-
doubt, or small frontier fort, on the
northern slope of Monte Palermo, which
is still in Austrian hands, and where
besides a number of killed and wounded
they lost twenty-four prisoners.
These actions form part Of the general
operations in the upper Sexten and Soden
Valleys. where the Italians are making a
general clearing Of the Austrian troops.
sometimes capturing considerable stores
accumulated there by the Austrians with
a view to invading the italian territory
south of the Dolomite region, a plan
which signally failed.

Georgia Governor Says North

States Difficulties.
REWARD IS CUT TO $500
Executive to Call to Aid Officials of
Counties in Which Frank
Killing Occurred.
REWARD IS CUT TO $500

Atlanta, Aug 2c-Gov. Nat E. Harris Is
going after the members of the mob that
Iynched Leo NJ. Frank. and in state
ment issued today he requested cour-
teously. but firmly. that the Northern
and Eastern press and some parts of the
outside public share their efforts to aid
in bringing the offenders to Justice.
Gov Harris says candidly that the out
side agitation and infiammatory edito'
rails abuse already is beginning to COM
plicate Georgia's task seriously.
Papers Increase Difficulty.
The governor said:
Editorials, which have appeared In
some of the newspapers of the cities OF
the Middle West and North. a great
many of them the papers which urged
the Communication of the sentence OF
Frank, are making it more difficult for
the State to proceed.
THE people of Georgia who feel out
ragged and indignant at the hanging OF
Frank will grow more and more indiS-
nant at some of the things being said
in ignorance about Georgia.
Everything which lies in the power OF
this Office will be used to bring results. -
Reward Is Reduced.
The first steps toward experimenting
the lynchers are to be taken by the
counties in which the offenses were COM
mitted. Baldwin and Cobb. The gov
ernor will call at an early date a meet
ing Of officials Of these counties. pos
sibly next week. and lay before them all
the information he is now gathering.
He will then instruct the judges OF
the respective counties to order their
grand juries to go into an investigation
with every resource at their command.
The solicitors of the circuits will be in
structed b devote their most earnest
efforts to the investigation.
Whether a special grand jury will be
called for the investigation Of the case
has not been determined. After a con
ference with Attorney General Walker
the reward offered for the lynchers of
Frank was reduced to $500, instead of
$500. This was due because the larger
reward would have left but $50 in the
reward fund for the rest of the year.
