As eggs are highest in price from Octo- Der to January. 1t is important that the fowls be given extra attention in fall and winter % they will produce the most eggs during this period. On stormy days the fow'S should be kept in the house. They should be fed three times day, in the morning. at noon and late in the aft crnoon.

|TALY'S ENTRANCE
IN WAR EXPECTED
within FEW DAYS
Victor Emmanuel Refuses Salandra' s
Resignation and War Cabinet
Remains.

London, May 1.-THE king of 1t.
ally has refused to accept the resig-
nation of Sig. Salandra and the
premier and his whole war cabinet
retain office. This, it is confidently
believed here, foreshadows the al
most immediate entrance of Italy in
to the circle of belligerents on the
side of the allies.
Action, however, may be delayed
until the meeting of the chamber of
deputies on Thursday when the pre-
mier will announce his policy and
will receive the support of a major
ity of the deputies.
Should the expected action of It.
ally materialize, the allies will be in
a better position than ever to launch
their big offensive movement against
Austria and Germany, which is be-
ing preceded on the western front
by series of attacks, furnishing a
foretaste of what is to come.

Early Morning Attack on Ramsgate
Results in Three Being
Injured.
THEY ALSO APPEAR AT DOVER
All Lights are Extinguished and
Attackers Return to
Sea.

London, May 1S.-An air raid oc.
Cured at Ramsgate early yesterday
morning. About forty bombs were
dropped. So far as has been ascer-
tanned three persons were injured.
A Dover dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph company says a hostile
air craft appeared to be approach
ing the harbor at $3.50 o'clock yes
terday morning, but returned to sea.
Several minor explosions were
heard, and all the electric lights in
the town were eXtinguished.
Hardly had the German attacks
on the British lines around Ypres
exhausted themselves and the
French offensive to the north of Ar
ras shown signs of coming to an end
than the British became the agrees
sors to the north of La Bassee and
the French and Belgian troops COM
menced their attempt to throw the
Germans back from the User canal.
These attacks, according to the
French official account, which, how
ever, does not agree with that from
Berlin, were successful and again
compelled the Germans to counter
attack-the most costly of all oper-
ations in siege warfare. Fighting at
both points is still in progress to-
day, as we'll as in Arlois, where the
French added further slight gain
to those made during the week, and
which, combined, constitute the big
gest forward movement of either
army in the west since the battle of
the Marine.
Fighting also is in progress in the
Woevre, particularly to the west of
the forest of lie Pretre, which the
French also won during the past
week.
There does not appear to be much
change in the general position in
Galicia, although the Austro-Ger-
man armies have been able to make
an additional slight advance by the
withdrawal of the Russian rear
guards, which have been holding off
the victorious troops until their own
armies could get into new positions
behind the San river.
This territory promises to be the
scene of another big battle, for the
Russians, strongly reinforced, will
make a desperate effort to stem the
tide which has been running so
strongly against them.
In the Russian border provinces,
along the East Prussian frontier,
isolated engagements are occurring
in which both sides claim to have
the advantage.

PROPHECY A HARSH REPL,

Berlin, (via London), May 49,
The American note to Germany has
not yet been officially given out. The
afternoon papers, however, print the
graphed here by the Havas Agency.
With the single exception of the Lo-
kal Anseiger, all refrain from COM
ment. The Lokal Anzeiger says:
1.-THE German government certain
ly will not delay long with the an
swer requested, and probably will
reply that in occupying itself with
it's sacred duties it is not to be dis
turbed from any side.
"That the American government
should consider the Lusitania as
harmless packet boat, without TAX
ing notice of the fact that it was
really an auxiliary cruiser and an
ammunition steamer of the British
navy, appears to us scarcely believ-
able. But the German answer to
Washington will make it comprehen-
sible to Mr.. Wilson, in language as
polite as it will be clear, that we
must conduct the war as we are con-
Quoting it and can conduct it with
a clear conscience"
The Tagllche Rundschau, COM
menting on the reports that the LUIS
itania incident has caused a grow
ing insight in America, says: "This
insight probably will lead to the dis
covery that England really is the
guilty party because it took ammun-
ition on board a passenger steamer
in contravention of the American
laws"
After quoting the statute, which
it argues covers this point, the Tag
Itch Rundschau concludes:
According to the American laws
the captain of the Lusitania ought
% go to prison."
A confidential note to the editors !
If the newspapers which reached
hem too late, says that nothing re-
yarding the American note may be
printed for the time being.

Madrid, Spain (via Paris), May
II, 11:05 p. m.-Complete anarchy
reigns in Lisbon, according to news
reaching Madrid last night. Fight
ing in the streets continues between
the mutineers and the loyal troops.
The bombardment was stopped Sat-
urday night owing to a lack of am
munition.
The number of persons killed or
wounded is said to have been con-
siderable. Many buildings were
burned and the homes of known 10y
alists pillaged.
Premier Dato announced yester-
day that the Spanish battleship Es-
pana will arrive at Lisbon today to
protect Spaniards and other foreign
ers. He added that it is probable
that another warship also will be
dispatched to Portuguese waters.
Dispatches from Vigo announce
that Portuguese people arriving
there declare that the uprising is
the beginning of civil war in Portu-
gal. Reports from Oporto are to the

city have been placed in Jail and

ARE CANCELLED

Washington, D. c., May 17.-Hun-
dreds of plans have been upset, tenn
porarily at least, as a result of the
torpedoing of the Lusitania and the
expectation of serious developments
of congress who had gone home OF
who had polished the last draft OF
their Chautauqua lectures have been
galvanized into action and some OF
them have even gone so far as to en-
train for Washington. All engage
ments, of course, made by govern
ment officials of the state, war and
navy departments have been cancell-
ed. President Wilson himself, nev-
er particularly anxious to get away
from Washington, is evidently in
tending to "stand by as long as
there is the least cloud in the sky.
The employees Of the capitol are anx-
iously wondering whether congress
is likely to be called and their sum-
mer fishing eXcursions-with pay
abandoned for good and all.
Washington today is in a thor
oughly unsettled state of mind, quiet
and cool, yet with the feeling that
the country is ready for any out
come of the controversy with Ger
many. The most disturbed people in
the capital are the Germans them
selves, whose distress over the stu
alton is pitiful. They all have kept
silence since the war opened, and
within the last few days have in
quired with pathetic eagerness for
any news that might promise a
peaceful settlement of the grave
question impending between the
United States and the fatherland.
Said German of high standing and
long military experience: IF the
kaiser has the settlement of this
matter, there will be no war;"
1--WE all expect that the issue will
be settled by the kaiser" was re-
turned.
"In that event." said the German,
eve have nothing to fear. He new
err will permit breach with the
United States"
Gossip in naval circles contributes
a hopeful tinge for the moment. 1t
is being whispered that when they
fired on the Lusitania the Germans
did not believe she would sink. They
were determined to use their sub
marines to terrorize enemy shipping
within the war zone but they had
calculated that with her double skin
and her 154 water tight compart-
ments the great Cunard would stay
afloat until the passengers could be
removed. This theory must be TAX
en- only for what it is worth. The
German authorities knew, they have
since declared, that the ship carried
explosive ammunition; more than
one torpedo was fired into her after
the first had struck in vital part
and since the disaster the German
government has sought to justify the
attack with every possible argument.
On the other hand this was the first
attack made upon a passenger ship;
and it will be recalled that when the
first news of the torpedoing of the
Lusitania reached the United States,
our people were inclined to accept
at it's face value the accompanying
word that no lives had been lost.
